Rock Creek Campground — Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest

This is for the Rock Creek Campground along the Chiwawa River beyond Lake Wenatchee. The previous reviews and pictures are for the Rock Creek Campground along the Icicle River closer to Leavenworth.

I visited this campground in the fall (2023) on a scouting trip for next years camping (Spring 2024). The campground was already closed for the season. Upon visiting I found the campground as the title describes and was desirable enough to add to my list of options.

Rock Creek Campground is a great place that feels close to town! I usually park in the day use area and go trail riding but I have camped as well. It's a very beautiful place and the campsites feel spacious.

It's a nice campground thats not too well known about. Not many people are usually there. They have individual fenced areas for the horses and lots of trails for riding.

This is my regular spot and have been camping there for years, in fact I have two trips in already this year. Lots of campsites and they added more over last winter for tents. This is a horse camp designed for riders and for them to camp but after 8 pm all sites are open to the public. It is RV friendly up to about 26’ and has no hookups of any kind and no drinking water, and I would love to see someone boat in…lol these items need to be updated . The hosts , Randy and his wife ( I always forget her name ) are great people who will let you know where the firewood is and keep an eye on your site.

This is one of my most favorite places to camp and just hang out during the day. Ive met great people out here and its so peaceful. Theres tons of trails and wild life. Ive been camping at this campground for over 30 yrs now havent missed one yet! So ill see up there! Im not working...me and my dog mischief are up on the trails somewhere.

This is a solid spot, fun to find and a great mix of smallish-medium campground size, tall mix of trees, nice area full of near-legendary trails and two nearby campgrounds (Cold Creek and Sunset) that you can go to if Rock Creek is full. I would get here on a Friday night, hike the nearby Tarbell (right from this campsite), Yacolt Burn or Bells Mountain trails to your hearts content Saturday, and relax Saturday night into Sunday. Or jump on the Trillium Mountain Bike trail. This place is a little harder to find because a lot of the Forest Service road signs get vandalized and taken down, but even I found it (through copious trail signs like the one pictured).

The campsite was nice and clean when we went to check it out. It's in the woods, with plenty of room between sites, but is wide open so if it was full you may not get as much privacy as with other sites further down the road.

One of the best ever. Large sites, great privacy, fantastic location

This campground sounds like a great get away! It seems to be a very relaxing place to take your family. Fishing, hiking...you name it.

This campsite is at the very end of the dirt road. Pass all the others and come here!

So many campsites on both sides of the creek. There is even a swimming hole. This campground is part of the Icicle Gorge trail, a beautiful 3 mile loop around the river.
