Located on the south shore of Lake Wenatchee. This campground also offers 16 walk-in sites located on the lakeshore.

Glacier View Campground

Love this camp ground! Quiet, clean, and almost every campsite has its own access to the lake. Some bigger than others but still a nice touch. Lots of little animals to watch. And hidden lake trail head is .5 miles from camp. Bathrooms were clean for the most part. But I was there during the week. Probably a different scene Friday and Saturday. So I’d suggest getting there early it’s first come first served. 

Lake access for all!

We really liked this area. Had a bald eagle fly over our heads! Lots of boaters on the lake and they started a little early for our liking. Don't bring your RV as it won't fit on the tight gravel road. Pit toilets and no water, so come prepared. Out only complaint was that most sites were full. We ended up getting on nearest the garbage. And it stank for the first night. Somebody must have gutted fish in it or something worse. And of course that attracted wasps... 

Great views, somewhat secluded, camping on/near the beach

Right on lake wenatachee, 18 a night. 4 vault toilets and plenty of sites, picnic tables, water access and fire rings. we had the entire camp ground to ourselves very romantic, slept right on the beach. Kayaking was good here.

romantic camping on the beach

I seriously love this campground. Beautiful views. Almost all of the spots are right on lake Wenatchee. Most of the spots are walk in so you have to carry your stuff a little ways but it is totally worth it. I take my kayak and I can launch it directly from my spot. Later in the summer though the mosquitoes are killer. I actually bailed on camping the last time I went because of them. Photos are from two different spots.

Love everything but the bugs! 

My husband and I stayed at Glacier View two weekends in a row because one weekend wasn’t enough to soak in it’s amazingness! Note: reservations are first come first serve so get there early if you want to get one!

The campsites are nice sizes, and all have a picnic table and fire pit. Some have better views than others but all are within walking distance from the water and beautiful lake/mountain views. 

They have hard standing bathrooms so no need to go in the woods - no running water or electricity. Each site had enough room for one tent (but we got creative and fit two tents on one site!) 

There is even a trailhead for Hidden Lake on the road to the campground, which is a short easy hike up to a beautiful lake. 

The campsite is not too far of a drive from Leavenworth so there are many hikes and attractions nearby, as well as shops/restaurants in town. 

We will definitely be going back!! 

Amazing Campsite!

This first come first serve campground is one of my faves.  You can beat the crowds at the state park and nearby Nason Creek by coming to this FF WalkIn campground.  There is a small loop of sites where you can park and the rest are hike in (they all have parking spots assigned at the top on the road tho).

  

All of the sites are spacious, but 12 seems a little hilly so small tents might be better.  The view of the lake and the mountains is one of the best I have seen.  There is also a hike to another lake right out of the campground.  It's short and strenuous but will worth it for the views.

  

PRO TIP:  BRING THE BUG SPRAY -- the mosquitos are really bad in this area and you will need all the help you can get!

The best campspots on Lake Wenatchee

Day 1-2: GORGEOUS!!! Perfect sunny &amp; breezy weather, insane views from the campsite. Very quiet and only a handful of first come first serve sites. Simple toilet facilities. Fire rings. All the makings of perfect car camping. 

  

Day 3: The wind dies down and OUT COME THE MOSQUITOS. I camp a lot, I have done backpacking/car camping/overlanding in all seasons and encountered bugs-a-plenty. The mosquito swarms in mid-June are ABSOLUTELY unbearable. No amount of bug spray seemed to matter, they were flying into ears/eyes/mouths and into the flame from the cookstove by the hundreds. Not that many bites for the number of them, but I you will be COVERED in them. We ended up bailing and getting a hotel in Leavenworth for our last night because they were so bad.

A phenomenal rustic campground, if you plan around mosquito season.

After going to my usual camp spot, it was extremely crowded, so I pulled up the Dyrt app and looked up this campsite, got there it was extremely pleased. Do yourself a favor and visit this site.
