Groups only, Okanogan Wenatchee National Forests

For group option...Incredible spot with memorable views. This park is amazing to explore and the campground lets you stay close to the beauty. The group camp is not as close to the water as the regular campground. You do have to make sure to book even the group site in advance, as it is popular with scouts, families, etc. We went for an AmeriCorps event and was perfect for our group.  It was extremely well maintained. Hiking, kayaking, swimming, etc. nearby. Close to long trails if you’re doing day hikes or backpacking.
