We got dropped off by a boat to get to this camp ground, lots of fun and way worth it! Beautiful views of the surrounding hills and lake chelan! The domke falls waterfall is amazing! Great swimming and fishing. Smaller sized camp ground, fire rings and bathrooms. And the best part is that it's free! Minus the ferry or boat ride getting there.
