Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Wenatchee, WA

We’ve camped here a number of times and love it. 4 kids and a dog. We’ve tent camped, stayed in the cabins and our class C RV. We’ve been in a variety of spots around the campground. Our favorite were tent camping over the river and being close to the playground & dog park on the RV. The store is the best I’ve come across at a campsite. Great kid craft activities, nice playground, yummy pancake breakfast, great access for swimming in the river. We walk to town. It’s awesome.

So I tried booking a spot through this app, and then cashapp was pending the purchase. I ended up calling the campground and they never received my booking. So I waited about 10 min and then I seen that my money was refunded. I ended up calling the camp back and booking it through over the phone. Same price....so I don't see what discount might have done. And also this campground or the lady who answered the phone had never heard of this APP...and named a few partners they work with....this app not being one of them...so...I don't know... ANYWHO.....

Stayed one night, the site 204 was a little difficult to find. The on-site store was pretty good size, from what I saw they had camping gear and regular convenience store stuff. When we got there there was only 1 other tent/ family set up a space away. The site was In a good place, just a walk away from the river. We did have like 2 hornets make their way into our tent. I used the showers behind the dog park, which had 2 shower stalls. And was empty. Hot water instantly, cute lil set up. The campground it self was pretty big...like it was a little town...big play area for kids, lake looked big, same with dog park. Then I took a walk around on the path, and followed the river (as in picture). Quiet time at 10....woke up early and packed up...felt safe, didn't get bothered..no trouble checking In...loved it...

The spots were solid dirt and our site was on top of the one next to us. It would have been better suited for a smaller rig (we were in a thirty foot trailer). The lake was actually a pond and was so scummy I wouldn’t let our kids swim in it. The dog park was a nice touch and lots of fun sitting areas and outdoor games. Right next to the road. Hosts were accommodating and so nice. Turtles in the pond were super cute! The wine bar was a nice touch. Showers kept flooding the bathroom but they were clean. Laundry was expensive.

I was so excited to visit the campground again, but when I showed up I heard the words “we have new ownership” uh oh… the park was still the same with amazing water access, great boat launch area and lots of cabins for those not wanting to commit to a full camper set up. The newest verbiage that they do no encourage pets any more, and the $25 a night pet fee was a little unsettling. Also this was not communicated and we got hit with almost $100 in pet fees when we checked out. Night two resulted in the power to 20% of the campsites going out and would not be fixed. 100 degrees with no A/C was a great way to clear a section of the campground. Overall a good trip, but my rating went down to 3 stars because of the new pet policy. If you don’t have pets then it is a great place to stay. For us we love Blue Lake itself, but will be moving to another resort on the lake.

Close to Moses Lake and Wenatchee - perfect getaway for the weekend. Beautiful sites near the river and the area is rapidly growing with activity. Seems like everyone has a dog. 😆

This campground is so beautiful. Big, grassy spots with level concrete pads. Excellent water pressure. 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. PPA discount allowed Monday-Thursday making this place a GREAT deal. Will stay again, and actually would plan a trip around this park.

Great little place to camp at if you just want to get away and get your fish on! They also have cabins for rent, but we've never gotten around to trying those out. The campground is fairly well maintained with a decent buffer zone between sites, so your neighbor isn't all up in your business like with most WA state run campgrounds. There are toilets, showers and a well stocked general store if you forgot anything. I mean anything! From danishes, to paper towels, to fishing poles and licenses. You can launch your own boat, rent a boat or fish off their dock (small admission fee) and are almost guaranteed to catch something.The trout are always hungry! They even have a fish cleaning station if you decide to keep your catch. Oh and there are semi-friendly resident raccoons. I wouldn't recommend petting them, but they are very photogenic and may pay you a visit so lock up your camp kitchen stuff!

Great little campground. Along a little river but not right at campsites. Crawdad along banks at night. Lots of bats at night. Right off of highway. Restroom with fresh water access. No electricity, no on site manager/ranger. No cell reception for t-mobile customers. Burn bans in effect typically in the late spring to early fall dependant of course on the amount of annual moisture in the region. Sold out prebooked for most major holidays. Good idea to book ahead of time by calling the local ranger station. High cougar population so keeping an eye on pet's and smaller children a must especially around dusk and after dark. Also bear area. But our family has never had any problems nor seen any large predators when we do our annual family camping trip there. Also be sure to do any last min. Shopping in cle elum because there is nothing as far as retail grocery stores past this point and it's about a 45 min drive each ways to cle elum. There is a final gas station about 10 mins drive from the campground that has basic camp supplies and ice. High prices for the convenience. And they close at 9pm if my memory serves me correctly. Beautiful area. Very peaceful.

Park is located on the Wenatchee River. Nice sites, some shaded. Tents and yurts available for camping and RV sites for your RV.

General: 20 RV sites, nine cabins, and open space for tent sites. 

Site Quality: Sites 1-13 are located closer to the road while 14-20 are tucked further back closer to the river and we did not hear any road noise in Site 15. All are level. Minimal separation/privacy. Campsites are dirt. RV sites have water and electric. 

Bath/Shower house: One single bathroom each for men and women as well as one shower each for men and women. The shower was warm but as a short person, I was not able to adjust the handheld shower nozzle, making my shower just a bit challenging. Showers and bathrooms were clean although the fan in the women’s room had accumulated quite a bit of dirt/dust so I turned it off. 

Activities/Amenities: Many games (giant chess, corn hole, etc.) sprinkled throughout the property but otherwise there was not much in the campground itself. Nearby there are hiking/mountain biking trails. Fly-fishing on the river. Recreational water activities on nearby Bumping Lake. A kids' playground within walking distance from the campground is located at Jim Sprick Community Park. There was a full kitchen with a sink, dishwashing soap, stove, fridge, and microwave. I only took advantage of the dishwashing sink. 

Be aware there are several cats roaming the property; they were not a nuisance as we like cats (they only came within view and no closer). This is also a wedding venue and a wedding was held the weekend before we arrived. We were the ONLY ones in the entire campground; the store/office was closed when arrived shortly before 6 p.m. on a Sunday after Labor Day (since our site was not assigned when we reserved, a note was left on the door) and we left before it opened the next morning. 

This kitschy old western-themed campground would be fun for a wedding or family gathering/reunion, but for us, it was a one-night stop along our route. There was zero cell coverage (Verizon) if that is important to you.

Very well maintained and beautiful setting. Full hook ups, right on the Wenatchee River with easy access and a few sand beaches. Great place for paddle boarding or just floating in the cool water. Friendly and helpful staff. We will be staying again for sure.
