Rainbow Lake Campground — Lake Chelan National Recreation Area
Reviewed Sep. 27, 2016

Gorgeous lake, great swimming!

Beautiful backcountry campground, complete with privy toilet, and campsites with a view of the lake and/or valley. Great swimming lake. No fire pits available. Just a few “tucked away” spots for individuals, couples, etc but no group sites. The views of valley on the downhill side of the lake are amazing but you will pay for it with the mosquitos in August! Bear canisters are required. Cost=free! Permit required from NOCA Wilderness Information Center in Marblemount.
