Antilon Lake camping area is a dispersed camping area great for large groups and accessible to small RV's. Antilon Lake is open to fishing, and non-motorized or electric-motor boats. Not recommended for swimming. During the summer this camping area can be hot, dry and one of the first areas to close to campfires. Spring and Fall are much more pleasant.
Accessibility is not guaranteed, always scout ahead before driving down dirt roads. Learn more: https://www.campendium.com/camping/boondocking-101/

Don't have much of a review, we found a spot here last second after signing up to run the Sun Mountain 25k last minute. Barely spent any time at the campground. I know the location was good for being able to just walk into town. The camp spots were just shared space in a grassy area. Nothing spectacular.
Guide
We took the opportunity to secure one of the “private” lots. Site S9 comes with a private fenced area, with fire pit, hot tub, seating and fully ready propane Weber. Staff is immediate and attentive. Free WiFi and only 1 hour from the National Park.
GuideWe had a site next to the river. The grass was well maintained and the entire part was inviting looking. Our site had a small pebbled beach area. It was enjoyable to sit by the river and watch the sunset.
TravelerWe got lucky and picked up a cancelled reservation on a whim. Never been here before and got a great waterfront spot with beautiful grass and view. The beach and playground were clean and the tent spot was perfect to put our toddlers kiddy pool. This is a great glampround right by Chelan, I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn’t right off the highway, we like to go for walks and bike rides with our kids and the location limited us to just the park or needing to drive into town which was only a couple minutes. Otherwise we are very happy to add it to our list of favorites and will be back.

I camped here in mid-May 2023. I camped in dispersed campground "A" and really enjoyed it. There is good shore access for bank fishing (I caught sun fish, crappie, and brown trout).
The camping was pretty quiet. Some mosquitos, but I've seen worse. The brown trout I grilled was good, too!
No cell service for me out here (T-Mobile). The road was rough, but pretty much any car can handle it.

Never fails to be perfect.
LegendBeautiful location on river. Traffic noise but did not bother us at all. Would be tight when camp is full but it was not while we were there. Host did great job of spacing rvs throughout camp for optimal privacy. Male host a bit militant about dogs off leash (including in your site). Laundry facilities very dusty/dirty. One dryer (middle one) did not fry clothes well even though ran it twice. Good sized dog run and a lot of games for guest use. We had fun using corn hole game. Really decent price for full hookups and site was pretty level.
ScoutCurrently, there is a 72-hour camping limit and is a city park, which means they don't accept any type of pass or discount such as the Discover Pass. The fee is $10/night (72 hours maximum). But you can still hang out here during the day-use hours until then, if you don't have the money.
I like this area very much. Nothing spectacular, but free showers, free WiFi, bathrooms, water faucet, and water spigot is hard to beat.
You can call them and ask any questions. The number is 509-422-3600
ScoutWonderful check-in process. Super simple. Great customer service, friendly staff, you can receive packages here no charge. Lots of shade trees, level site, good spacing, places to access the river, etc.

We stayed on the East Side of the lake by the dock. Vault toilets, Paved roads, right on the water, fire pits, etc. Clean - first come first serve - fills up quick starting around 5pm om Friday. So if you're trying for the weekend - get there quick.
TravelerI stay here for a week each summer. Perfect grass, hot showers, shade trees. Get a site on the River for less freeway noise.
GuideI stayed for several days in Upper Antilon, section D. It was over Memorial Day, so a couple nights were a little noisy, but nothing too crazy. I had heard from the ranger that things could get wild, but it wasn’t too bad. The dirt road is long with curves, and can get bumpy at times. I chose a beautiful spot overlooking the lake and close to a vault toilet. It was clean and well stocked. There was also a dumpster. The upper lake is very overgrown…no swimming and no real place to safely put my kayak in. The lower lake was much better, although a VERY steep hill down to the water. Lots of lake moss, so fishing from the shore can be problematic. However, I caught 3 gorgeous brown trout from my kayak, which made 2 delicious meals. I literally had the entire lake to myself. Aside from a very windy/rainy day and night with 40 mph gusts, the weather was perfect and I loved falling asleep to the sound of the frogs and crickets.
ScoutGreat place if you’re just looking for a spot to spend the night or take a shower. The park is sandwiched between a busy city street and the river. Bathrooms are old but clean. Possibly open all night. There are no individual spots it’s just a long parking lot with a grass area for tents.

We camped here in early October so there was no fee. The vault toilet was clean but there is no maintenance until the late spring.
We camped in space 23 by one of the vault toilets. We had views of the surrounding craggy mountains. Ours was a drive through site and very spacious. We also could only see 2 other campers as there was some nice spacing between us. I just love their huge planked picnic tables made of 4”x12” fir.
There was some highway noise but it quieted down after dark as our campsite was close to the highway. As always, be bear aware and do not leave food out.
GuideThere are campground sections before where it’s ‘designated’ on the map - we picked one that seemed a little bit away from the main dusty road. Lots of sand and dust, and fire ban in effect (july 2021). Apparently there is one toilet somewhere but we didn’t find it. Ended up returning here for another night. Had 1 bar of Verizon if remember correctly.
Traveler
Beautiful mountain views. Creek is amazing. Campsites are well maintained. Restroom are cleaned daily.
ScoutGreat RV Park
LegendA few long terms folks. Nice quiet amenities - new bathrooms, large dog area, easy river access, playground was older but did the trick for the kids, nice paved roads to scooter and skate, yard games set up for anyone’s use and proximity to twisp, Winthrop, the rodeo etc we’re great.
GuideQuiet place, just sounds of nature. Spots vary in size and the ones with lake access go first. Too windy for a fire, but fire rings made from rocks are present. 2WD vehicles should have no problem, but doesn’t seem equipped to handle trailers or RV’s.
TravelerJust wanted somewhere kind of close to go check out and camp. Husband wanted to go fishing there so we figured if there were sites we would stay. Pulled in and there are two sides of the lake to stay on. We had one picked out but then decided to try the other side which I’m glad we did since we were right near the water at the boat launch. Lots of access to the water. Lake has trout, largemouth bass and crappies. Toilets are vault houses but were clean enough. The place fills up fast so if you want a spot in the weekend then you better get there fast.
Guide
Park like setting. Pull throughs are right on top of each other. Recommend back in. They water every night, you have to pull everything in, every night. Water came out brown each morning with out a filter.

Love it here!!
TravelerThis KOA is a great campground, it's clean, it's centrally located to the town of Winthrop and there are close by amenities for groceries, etc. A very kid friendly place to stay as well. They even have some sites that are fenced for privacy and these sites have a hot tub and grill.

An absolutely fantastic little campground for all sizes, from tents to big RVs!! Jacob the manager was a great help the entire stay. It is popular with ATVrs, but they were very polite and drive appropriately.
