Free camping along the road into the Lake Wenatchee valley comes with a significant caveat: the named campground itself no longer exists. What remains are dispersed sites accessible by driving past the Baptist Church Camp, with no developed facilities beyond what the forest provides. Cell service is unreliable in the valley. Picnic tables are listed as an amenity, though conditions on the ground may differ from what the listing reflects. White Pine Campground, just 0.2 miles west, is a nearby alternative with more established infrastructure for campers who want a confirmed site.
