    Lake Wenatchee State Park is a 489-acre camping park with 12,623-feet of waterfront on glacier-fed Lake Wenatchee and the Wenatchee River and is a great place for camping near Seattle. The park is bisected by the Wenatchee River, creating two distinct areas – south park, which features areas for camping, swimming and horseback riding, and north park, which is in a less developed, forested section of the park and a quarter-mile walk from the lake.

    In addition to being a prime location for hiking, fishing, swimming, horseback riding and mountain biking in summer and early fall, the Nason Creek area offers excellent skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling in the winter months. The campground is also a great base camp for day-hikers and overnight backpackers. Several access trails from the area give hikers the chance to create their own excursions, whether it be a day hike or an overnight trip. Anglers enjoy fishing for rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and kokanee salmon from boat or shoreline on nearby Lake Wenatchee.

    Dispersed camping is the term used for camping in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a designated campground. Typically, it refers to roadside car camping, but also refers to backpacking in undeveloped sites. Dispersed camping means there are no services like trash removal, and amenities such as toilets, tables and fire pits, are not usually available.

    It is your responsibility to plan ahead and learn the extra skills necessary for dispersed camping. Camping rules and regulations apply to make your experience safe, and to keep the natural resources scenic and unspoiled for other campers.

    Dispersed camping along Forest Service roads is allowed where there is adequate space to safely park completely off the roadway and not on any vegetation. Whether car camping or backpacking, choose an existing campsite on bare or compacted soil. Unless signed as an area where a fee is required, dispersed camping is free. Dispersed camping is prohibited in developed campgrounds and areas posted closed or no camping. Some designated Wilderness areas have additional restrictions. For the best information on dispersed camping opportunities and local restrictions, please contact the nearest ranger district office.

    Rules for Dispersed Camping These rules apply to car camping and backpacking

    You may camp in a dispersed area in an individual Ranger District for up to 14 days within a 30-day period. After 14 days, you must move to another Ranger District or off the National Forest until the 30 days has elapsed. Do not blaze new roads to campsites, create new campsites, clear ground, cut or harm vegetation or construct a trail. Do not drive beyond constructed physical barriers, such as berms or gates.
    Do not drive through streams or wetlands to access a camp. If campfires are legal in your location and you choose to have a campfire, pick a site with an existing fire pit. Do not create new fire pits. Make sure your campfire is always attended and is dead out and cold to the touch before you leave your site. Fires may be restricted or banned based on the fire danger rating. Follow Leave No Trace principles and come prepared to “Pack it in. Pack it out.” Pack all trash home. Dispose of human waste in a sanitary manner. In high use locations, areas above tree line and snow-covered areas it is not possible to bury human waste in a sanitary manner. It will need to be packed out and disposed of at home using a wag bag, blue bag, portable toilet or another Leave No Trace approved method.
    Do not block roads or gates. Keep food and scented items secure from wildlife by keeping a clean camp and store items in your vehicle or use a wildlife resistant storage canister. Failure to follow regulations can lead to legal consequences. Additional Forest rules and links to report crimes can be found on our Law Enforcement page.

    The Smith Brook trail starts off with several switchbacks, then continues up to Union Gap where it meets the Pacific Crest Trail. Turn south (left) at Union Gap and continue hiking until you reach the gap between Mount Lichtenberg and McCausland, where you get a first glimpse of Lake Valhalla.

    Just before reaching the gap, a boot trail follows the ridge up to an old lookout site at Mount McCausland. Less then a half a mile and 600 feet of climbing and you will reach the top, where you will have a great view of Glacier Peak to the north. There are lots of huckleberries in the meadows along this trail.

    Pass over the gap and descend to Lake Valhalla. There are a number of overnight campsites and a couple of backcountry toilets at the lake, although campfires are not permitted. There is a very pleasant sandy beach at the lake as well, which is perfect for lunch and relaxing in the summer.

    Welcome to Barn Valley. 4 acres of fully cross fenced private land for you to come enjoy. What's cross fenced mean? Simply put, you get a private camp section enclosed in so your furry critter can roam free and you don't have to worry about uncle Carl stealing your beers in the middle of the night from the campsite nextdoor.

    We are ideally located 300 yards from river access(follow western fenceline to the river, stay within 5 feet of fence, rest is private land), minutes from hiking, biking, fishing and horse back riding destinations. Oh, is it winter? Snowshoe, ski and snowmobile then!

    With the Teanaways ideal weather, every day can be an adventure.

    Potable Water accessible at center section of the 3 middle campsites. Pull pump up and push back hard and water will come out (it comes out fast and with lots of pressure, be ready).

    Each campground has atleast a 9'3" wide cattlemen gate (sites 1 and 3 have 14'+ gates). Most RVs and vehicles can fit through (measure your vehicle mirror to mirror and trailers widest points), and main homes 1/2 acre wide driveway makes it easy to navigate a back in travel trailer as well. Site 1-3 are 50 Feet Wide by 90 feet long. Each one can have a fire until late Aug (fire ban). Please douse fires after done. Blue Jug near pump along fence.

    10-15 minutes to breweries, distilleries and restaurants. 1 hour to North Bend/Leavenworth, 1.5 to Bellevue. Welcome to tranquil Barn Valley! Every adventure, hiking, biking, snowshoeing etc.. is accessible from property or a short drive away.

    Note: If you're coming to camp in the winter. Be smart, pack warm and only drive capable 4x4/all wheel vehicles with good traction tires and a plan for deep snow. We do not shovel. Spare shovel located at pumphouse.

    Sites are dog friendly ( do not leave your animals unattended). Equine/group lot is site 4. It is 2 acres and allows for only one person to book and pay for all other attendees. Just like sites 1-3, please be respectful of others and ask permission to approach other peoples animals, property and campsites. Park vehicles inside fenceline (inside your campsite).

    Quiet hours at sunset. NO generators past 10pm.

    This is a fun and family friendly location. Main home is an airbnb and family cabin that uses northern pasture and reserves the right to the main homes parking and fenced in area for their animals. Please keep it safe for all and close all gates after passing through them. Pack out what you pack in. NO toilets, no trash cans, no nonsense. Just have fun. The valley is special for all. Lets keep it that way. Lots of deer, birds and grasshoppers.

      Beautiful but creepy

      Nice area by a creek, very peaceful and quiet during the day, a ton of people around and lots of passerby’s. As soon as it got dark, someone decided to sneak around my campsite with a flashlight and stand outside my tent for some time. Packed up quick and zoomed out of there, very uncomfortable and would not recommend for solo campers.

      Barn valley has been sold and is not open for camping at this time

      I was unhappy we could not find this place on Hipcamp.

      I was excited to find it on dyrt.com

      I am sad the former owner emailed me to explain he had sold it to a neighbor and it is not available.

      Had a great time! Going again!

      This place was so fun we plan to go back again in September! Even though the sites were close together, we still felt like we had a lot of privacy. There were lots of paths to take our kids for walks or bike rides. And the swimming area at the lake was really nice. They even had a snack shack! The only thing that was missing was a better playground. There was a slide, and that was about it.

      Little pocket of peace.

      A lit if the spots are on the smaller side, so we had a bit of trouble finding one that could fit our motorhome, but it was worth it. The place is beautiful. Super dark at night, and besides the sound from the interstate and cars driving up and down, it's quite. Even with the noise, it's peaceful and perfect for a little getaway. We have Verizon and have decent service, even with crappy weather.

      Great place to sleep for a night while on a road trip

      So dark I couldnt even see my own hand in front of my face! I loved it. Quiet enough, could hear gentle highway hum but cant see anything but trees n nature. Earplugs ftw. Some bugs but nothing major. Plenty of spots along the road. U dont need to go all the way to coords. Just pick a spot along road n park. Some wild raspberries at our spot :) firepit nice, a little trash but not much. Thats the cost of free. Spot is free, the cost is picking up a few pieces of trash. Seems fair to me!

      The bathrooms were filthy Quiet hours were not enforced The place is falling apart and looks decrepit: from fences to bathrooms The only dirt roads and sites(no gravel or asphalt anywhere) make everything filthy Site boundaries are practically impossible to determine as a number is the only way to see, no side lines Our site did not even have a picnic table

      Went up at the end of 4th of July weekend. Found a great spot but it was apparent that the group before us used everywhere to go to the bathroom and covered it with paper towels. PRO TIP: make the hole first for when you need it and you want have any excuse not to use it! PLEASE LEAVE NO TRACE! Other wise we really enjoyed a quick night away in our van.

      Amazing Campground & Lodge

      Had an amazing time staying at this campground with our family. 

      We brought our RV, but you can tent, or rent a Yurt or Igloo. Horses are welcome too! The new owners are doing a great job turning the property around. There is a large recent renovated cabin that fits up to 20 people you can stay as well. 

      There is a bar & cafe open as well on the weekend with amazing views. Highly recommend.

      It was alright

      You can hear the road from most camping spots. When we arrived at our site there was garbage all over the place in a fire pit so we cleaned it up.

      There was a nice long trail that took us to the river. That was nice. Cleaning up sucked because the floor got muddy.

      Lots of mosquitoes.

      Lots of camping spots. We left Friday evening and most spots were taken.

      Great Camping in the PNW!

      This spot was truly beautiful. Green as far as the eye can see, with a creek by that provides the perfect white noise to fall asleep to. The road is fairly accessible, though there are some fairly large potholes that could damage smaller vehicles, and the road could become muddy after raining. On weekends you might have to drive pretty far down the road to find an unclaimed spot, but I didn't have a hard time on a Tuesday night. There was some trash, including broken glass in firepits and a few beer cans spotted in the woods, but for the most part it was clean! The sites further down the road are definitely cleaner. No bathrooms, so plan on dropping the kids off at the pool before visiting. Seeing as there is water nearby, there are plenty of mosquitoes. Bring some bug spray! There are towns within 15 minutes of the road.

      Alta Lake State Park Campground

      One of the nicer state parks

      Personally I really enjoyed this park and camping. The park itself is really well maintained, and in a beautiful location. The lake and surrounding hills were beautiful. Even with the few private homes nearby, it didn't really take away from the scenery in my opinion.

      I camped in the upper loop in a site that backed to the hill side. The layout of the sites are very unique, no two sites (in the upper loop at least) are alike. My spot had a lower parking area with room for two cars. The you step up to the "living room" where the picnic table and fire pit were, then off of that area was a isolated tent pad area.

      The next spot over on one side was up hill from me, so didn't really see them (but could hear them). The spot on the other side was closer and lacked a little bit of privacy, but as far as state parks go, it was still fairly spread out. I was also there for a Saturday and Sunday night, so Sunday the park completely emptied out and I think there were only 2 or 3 others in the entire upper loop, and not near me at all, which was nice.

      I'm sure there are times when the lake gets overrun with motor boats and jet skis, but the weekend I was there (6/8 & 6/9) wasn't to bad at all. Paddle boards and kayaks outnumbers the boats with motors, and even those weren't racing around the lake, they were all fishing.

      I mostly camp in dispersed camping areas, but this is a state park I would put on my short willing to return to list.

      Lake Camping at its best

      Outside the picturesque town of Leavenworth, lies the most stunning body of water in the Pacific Northwest. This was our first camping trip and we could not have picked a better time or place. We visited in September when summer was slowly becoming fall. The weather was cool but not unmanageable and the camp ground was near empty. The only sounds that could be heard were the wrestling of leaves, the gentle lapping of waves, and the nightly screaming of elk in the distance.

      At the time of our visit, there was a burn ban but we were allowed to use a propane fire pit.

      We plan on going back when it’s a bet warmer so we can take our kayaks.

      Our dog loved it!

      Great spot for a night or two on way to Seattle

      We had 2 opportunities to stay at this campground in the fall of 2023.  This is a very picturesque location and very quiet.  Full hookups are available as well as pull through sites.

      Quiet and Free Camping

      My friend slept in her vehicle(end of the road) and I camped next to the river. There were no other tent campers on this day; many RVs and campers on the way to the river. I highly recommend for peace and solitude.

      Nice when empty

      I showed up Saturday evening and found a spot no prob. It was crowded (and very loud) but most parties acknowledged the 10PM quite hrs. By Sunday evening 90% of the crowd had left and it was heavenly! The toilets were well maintained, honestly very clean for the location etc. i was impressed. No water/electricity. T-mobile was hit or miss - couldn’t connect hot spot.

      Quality place to stay!

      We camped here due to all the campgrounds near the enchantments being full, but the 25 drive to and from leavenworth was very pretty and not too bad. Try to get a site on the creek! The sites on the creek are the most private and you can go for a dip like we did! The water isn’t freezing. It is also right down the road from Lake Wenatchee State Park which is beautiful!

      Great Spot

      I travel and work remotely so I’m always looking for free places that have cell reception and this place hits the jackpot. I’ve come in twice on a Saturday afternoon and have been able to find an open spot with my 18 ft travel trailer, I have Verizon and have 2-3 bars of service, it is very close to the interstate so you’ll hear a constant hum of cars but it’s very nice to feel like you have your own slice of the mossy old growth forest.

      tenting, use quieter walk-in sites

      If tenting, I wish we had done a walk-in site, it is only 20 feet to walk in, and by the river. The campground, I am assuming would be great if in an RV. We slept in our car. There were generators running most of the day, and an outdoor TV. Maybe just bad luck on our part. But people were respectful of the quiet hours.

      I should have read more reviews that talked about dispersed camping up the road a bit.

      As others stated bring your own tp! We arrived a Monday, so maybe it got ‘wiped’ out over the weekend.

      Lots is shade at sites, with patches of sun also for getting warmer when you want to. Fairly bug free end of June.

      Great camping near Lake

      Quite liked this campground, a few things to note first about the site then the park.

      Site: 31 Great distance between tent pad and picnic table with a few well placed trees for hammock/ clothing line Fire ring was great distance from picnic table. Great privacy (granted the people in the site next to us weren’t there) Close walk to bathroom/showers & Trash Short 5 minute walk to the lake.

      Park: Showers were actually free Normally it is pretty windy, but there was no wind both days we were present Mosquitos were worse than usual, but a constant cost of DEET and a anti mosquito candle kept them at bay, still got bit up a bit There is a pretty legit store with camping stuff, espresso, and ice cream Playground near beach area By the beach there was a dude selling kayak/ paddle board rentals, he does not come on especially windy days Kind Staff, met camp hosts dog

      I’ve also attached some photos of the RV sites from the north campground

      Definitely will come back

      Too much fun in the sun

      The campground was very clean and parking a 25 ft trailer was easy. Many camping spots for trailers. Camp fill up quickly. Quiet place. Large camping spots. Clean toilets. Creek and river access from campground.

      Lake Wenatchee State Park Campground

      One of my favorites

      Stopped off on way to Seattle and ended up staying a few days. Really great campground with nice play structure for kids and the restrooms were the cleanest of any campground I have been to in years! Well maintained and if not here during peak feels like you have the lake to yourself. Great stop off!
