Kayakers and anglers find direct creek access at Nason Creek Campground, where four separate loops spread across both sides of Highway 207 in Wenatchee National Forest. The campground operates seasonally from May through mid-October, charging $27 per night for sites that accommodate RVs up to 35 feet.
Creek-adjacent sites fill quickly on weekends, as Mercedes D. notes: "Campground traffic picked up Friday evening and the remaining waterfront sites filled up by Saturday." The most coveted spots sit directly along Nason Creek, though reviewers warn the creek rocks are large and slippery. Sites farther from water offer more privacy and less road noise from Highway 207, which runs through the campground area.
A ten-minute walk connects campers to Lake Wenatchee, where a camp store rents kayaks and paddleboards. The campground provides flush toilets, drinking water, and dumpsters, though no hookups or dump station. Camp hosts sell firewood for $7 per bundle and maintain clean facilities throughout the season. Cell service works well for both AT&T and Verizon users.
Most sites accept reservations through Recreation.gov, but the best creek-side spots operate first-come, first-serve without "R" markers on site posts. Laura M. found success arriving Friday for weekend camping: "Hard to get a site with an open sky view for solar" due to dense forest cover. Mosquitoes are abundant during summer months.
For a quieter alternative without road noise, Lake Wenatchee State Park Campground sits less than a mile north with direct lake access.
