Reviewed Aug. 31, 2016

Next to Lake Chelan with great amenities

In the Stehekin Village, this campground sits just across the road from Lake Chelan. 10 or so campsites, clean and well stocked bathrooms with running water. Good tent pads, nice sites with firepits/grates, trash, dish sink, bear boxes, and potable water. Shower, laundry, and food are just a short walk from the village. Many PCT thru-hikers stop through here, so be ready for some fun company and great stories. Also, be sure to visit the bakery and the garden for amazing food! Hiker exchange box near the waterfront can be a goldmine, too. Cost=free! Permit required from NOCA Wilderness Information Center in Marblemount or the NPS Visitor Center in Stehekin.
