"Leavenworth in washington is one of my favorite places to visit. One of the reasons I love coming here is because the hiking is incredible. Colchuck Lake is a must if you are in the Leavenworth area!"
"Rolled in late at night on an audible after campground at Lake Wenatchee didn't work out. Great tent sites, with decent spacing between them."
"This beautiful campground has everything you want and need: water, trails, scenic views, ample campsites, clean bathrooms and easy access. "
"Nice campground close to Wenatchee. Access to swimming on the Columbia. Open area for running around, playground etc. can get crowded, but nothing Out of the ordinary for a state park."
"The grounds are next to the Wenatchee River between a highway and railroad tracks. None of the noise is bad at all (of you’re sound sensitive this probably isn’t your place)."
"Great location on the river. Lots of places to walk the dogs. Sandy areas on the river to hang out. About 20 mins to Leavenworth and 15 mins to Wenatchee. Friendly staff."
"Gorgeous views of the river and surrounding hills everywhere you look. However you do have to navigate the city of Wenatchee office park to get there."
"The campground is just outside of town and next to the river. The river level was low so the swimming area was disappointing at the time we were there. Campground was so quiet. "
"Loved how close to the river it was was nice white noise throughout the night. Close to town and lake colchuck"
"So we got wet when it rained and had a bit of an issue with water pooling next to the electric outlet but the staff was right on it and dug a small trench for the water to drain."
"Close to the highway but wasn’t loud at night"

"First visit to Washington and I went camping in my hammock. Perfect cold weather. Unfortunate that the wood was too dry for any fire. Next time!"
"Beautiful location not too far outside of town, several sites were available when we arrived, unlike the first two campgrounds we checked closer to town."
"The campground is divided into two parts by a crisp clear and cold Wenatchee River, flowing out of Lake Wenatchee, locat d in the central Cascade Mountains of Washington."
"_We love camping in this area of Washington. There are so many campsites and each one is just far away from the nearest town which is so nice to know that you won't be bothered by the busy road."
"Tons of great locations with views."
"Found a spot with incredible near-360 mountain views! Exposed to the wind though. Have to go pretty far in along Derby road to find campsites."
LegendWe checked this place out but decided not to stay. It’s free, and nice, and easy access, and there were a few spots where we would have fit in our 26ft class c, but it somehow seemed too overgrown and claustrophobic. We decided to continue on and look for boondocking in the forest.
There was only one set of campers when we visited here in the middle of the week. It’s a small campground, with around 10 or fewer sites, one way in and out with an area to turn around at the end.
Sites come with picnic tables and fire pits. Zero cell reception for Verizon or ATT. Clean pit toilet at the campground entrance. 14 day stay limit. No trash service, no water.
LegendThis is a huge USFS campground in the Wenatchee National Forest, with something like 4 separate loops and separate entrances from the road. Most of the sites are reservable on recreation.gov but they have a few FCFS sites (these sites aren’t marked with an“R” on the post).
We got lucky on a Friday with a FCFS site when all the reservable sites were marked as “reserved” for the weekend.
$25/night, pay with cash or check at self-registration kiosk. Park is run by a concessionaire. Nicely kept, very clean, host on site, pit toilets and water spigots available. No dump or water fill, no hookups. There are trash dumpsters but no recycling. Hard to get a site with an open sky view for solar.
Many of the sites are pull through (curve along the camp site type). Some sites are right along the creek, beautiful and peaceful, and some are right on the road. There are trails and nice walks that take you to Lake Wenatchee, which is beautiful.
Good cell reception for ATT and Verizon.
LegendNice state campground, well kept, beautiful lake if you can get one of the lakeside spots. We had site#11, and the road noise was just too too loud for me. Definitely try to get a spot away from the road. We arrived after the ranger shack at the entrance had closed for the day, but they have a really easy phone registration process if you arrive after hours but before 10pm. After 10 pm they say to just pick an unreserved spot and pay in the morning.
Showers are free. Cell reception was good.

ScoutWe have started here several times over the last 2 years. Can’t say enough good things about the TJ, Zach and Abby! They make you feel like family. They keep up on the place very well and they make your stay the best. Home away from home!
ScoutNice little campground on the creek. Bathrooms were clean, and camp host is awesome. No cell service, no bear boxes. Had no issue finding a first come site on a Friday afternoon.
ScoutNext to Hwy and behind tall bushes. Vault bathrooms 1/4 mile down the road. Pretty quiet spot even though 300 yards from highway.
ScoutDrove out there to find out that it's closed such a waste of time ! 6-12-25
GuideSo first time camping here and the park is really nice and clean. We camped in the RV spots with our trailer and they have a nice concrete pad that the picnic table is on. Garbage is close by and clean around it. The swimming part of the park is nice and easy to access. The trailer dump site is clean and easy to get in and out of. Will be going back again
