    The Leavenworth area features several established RV parks with full hookup capability. Icicle River RV Resort provides electric, water, and sewer connections, operating seasonally from April through October, while Blu-Shastin RV Park offers similar amenities with sites positioned along a creek. "Great campground with lots to do. Very nice manager, open spots. Just south of the awesome town of Leavenworth nestled in the hills," noted one camper about Blu-Shastin. Thousand Trails Leavenworth accommodates larger motorhomes with its big-rig friendly sites and 50-amp electrical service, remaining open year-round for winter RV camping. Sites at these parks typically include picnic tables and fire rings, though some locations have closely spaced sites that limit awning extension.

    Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer and Leavenworth's popular Oktoberfest season when RV sites fill quickly. Most parks within 30 miles of Monitor provide sanitary dump stations, with Icicle River and Thousand Trails offering on-site trash disposal and shower facilities. Cell service varies considerably throughout the mountainous terrain, with limited connectivity in some valley locations. Many RV parks permit pets but enforce leash requirements and designated pet areas. Highway access to most RV parks requires navigating mountain roads with occasional steep grades and switchbacks, particularly when approaching from the west. Winter travelers should verify road conditions as snow and ice can affect accessibility from November through March.

      Old Bluett Pass Road Dispersed

      It was fairly easy to get to this area however despite our best efforts we only found one established campsite with a fire ring. Road getting here was mostly paved with some debris on the roadway. We lost GPS signal just before arriving and passed NF200. I gave 3 stars because we were unable to locate other sites. Maybe it was just me but we drove quite a while on NF200 and only found the one right at the entrance.

      Elk Ridge Campground

      Cute spot! Spots are tight. Water, electricity, showers and bathroom. Cute lil' dog park that is also a wedding venue. Great stop right before Mt. Rainier. We stayed in spot #10 a little tight for a 27ft camper, but we made it work!

      Big Pines Campground - Yakima River Canyon

      Nice, clean, & beautiful overnight stop. There were plenty of sites to choose between, we stayed in site 11 since we were departing early. Like other reviews stated, no water or cell service but that’s to be expected.

      Lake Wenatchee State Park Campground

      The heated bathrooms with showers were definitely comfort on our cross country road trip. We arrived after hours but because we already had made reservations that morning we were able to use the slider and enter the campground. Star gazing is always top priority. We headed down to the lake’s beach to snap some shots with my iPhone 14 Pro night, setting on a tripod and remote.

      Wenatchee River County Park

      Nice sites

      It's really a great little gated park that's fairly affordable.  Unfortunately, it's right off the highway and on the other side of the river are the train tracks.  Both are quite active.  Otherwise this is a 5-star.  Office folks were friendly and helpful.

      Wenatchee Confluence State Park Campground

      Overnight stay

      We spent a pleasant evening in this beautiful park. Facilities are clean and well kept. Sites are spread out with plenty of grassy area between each site.

      Dry Creek Campground

      Nice spot by lake

      Decent little camp ground, designated spots at the top an you can drive down to the lake. Walking around you did see a fair amount of trash N no cell signals.

      Liberty Recreation Area

      Nice free camping

      FREE!! NO FEE!! This place has around 20 spots. Some of the spots are on one road right as you enter with a vault toilet. But if you continue and take a right down that road there are more spots and another vault toilet. The larger sites are on this second road.

      Each spot has a picnic table and fire ring.

      It looks like the road has a closed during the winter but the camping is still open. Snowmobiling to the sites.

      Cabin Creek Dispersed Camping

      If you’re up in the parking lot your fine

      The reviews here seem to be from two different places

      Parking lot up by the logging operation is fine

      Down the road by the creek is a bunch of permanent trailers

      Be nice if people reviewed the proper spots

    Guide to Monitor

    The Monitor area offers RV camping options amid the eastern Cascade foothills, where elevations range from 800-1,200 feet. Summer temperatures typically reach 85-95°F while winter months often drop below freezing with occasional snowfall. Cellular connectivity can be particularly limited in valley locations between Leavenworth and Monitor.

    What to do

    Hiking near camp: Multiple campgrounds provide access to nearby hiking trails, particularly along the Yakima and Icicle Rivers. "Close to Leavenworth and hiking. Close to the Enchantments," notes one visitor at Icicle River RV Resort.

    River activities: The Columbia, Yakima, and Icicle Rivers offer fishing and water recreation within 30 minutes of Monitor. At Entiat City Park, "There is a lakefront park for swimming and a dock for boats/jet skis etc."

    Winter options: Several RV parks remain accessible throughout winter despite mountain passes occasionally closing. "October is perfect time. So quiet, leaves changing, crisp weather. Just make sure you have heated water hose," mentions a camper at Thousand Trails Leavenworth.

    What campers like

    Riverside sites: Several parks offer camping directly adjacent to rivers. "Beautiful spots right along the Columbia River... full RV hookups," reports a camper at Entiat City Park about the waterfront setting.

    Recreational amenities: Some campgrounds feature dedicated recreation facilities beyond basic camping. One visitor at Smokiam RV Resort appreciated the "playground for kids, nice store in case you forget anything," adding that "sites are pretty close together, but not too close to be uncomfortable."

    Wildlife viewing: The mountain setting provides opportunities to observe local fauna. "Loved our time here, clean campsite, beautiful spots on the river. Loved seeing black bears across the river," shares a camper about Whispering Pines RV Campground.

    What you should know

    Limited connectivity: Cell service varies significantly throughout the area with some locations having virtually no coverage. "There is no cell coverage due to the mountains. Closest town is a 20 min drive away," notes a visitor at Blu-Shastin RV Park.

    Site proximity: Many RV parks feature closely positioned sites, which can limit privacy. "The RV sites are close but you can spend some time at the river," explains one camper at Icicle River RV Resort.

    Reservation timing: During peak periods, especially summer weekends and special events, advance booking becomes essential at most RV sites near Monitor, Washington. "We stayed here twice this year. Had a good experience both times but my spots in both times were along the road so there was a bit of road noise," mentions a visitor at Icicle River RV Resort.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming options: Look for campgrounds with dedicated swimming areas for children. At Thousand Trails Crescent Bar, "Columbia river right there. Full hookups at all sites. Staff very friendly and helpful."

    Playground access: Several campgrounds maintain playground equipment for younger visitors. One camper at Whispering Pines RV Campground mentioned it has a "huge lots for our ambo conversion and plenty of room to relax and unwind," noting the "big play area for kids, lake looked big, same with dog park."

    Pet facilities: Many campgrounds accommodate pets with designated areas. "Nice big area for dogs by the store and pool," reports a visitor to Smokiam RV Resort, which maintains separate pet zones away from swimming areas.

    Tips from RVers

    Pad specifications: Many RV sites near Monitor have specific surface types and leveling characteristics. "Our site had water and 30/50 amp, but no sewer. The camp was not full, and we were nicely spaced with other campers leading to lots of privacy," reports a visitor to Whispering Pines RV Campground.

    Utility placement: Some campgrounds have unique hookup configurations requiring preparation. "Bring an extra hose because your connection may be at the front right of your camper," advises a visitor to Squaw Rock RV Resort, where "single utility service serves two sites."

    Winter preparations: RV campers visiting during colder months should prepare for freezing temperatures. Smokiam RV Resort provides "heated coils to prevent any water freeze," making it ideal for off-season visits when heated water lines become essential for winter RV camping near Monitor.
