Boaters seeking a remote Lake Chelan experience can access Safety Harbor Campground only by watercraft, making it one of several boat-in sites managed by the US Forest Service along the lake's shoreline. The campground provides shaded sites with fire pits and picnic tables, plus pit toilets and one CCC-style shelter. A small dock accommodates powerboats with an annual permit, while kayakers can launch directly from the adjacent beach area.
A creek flows next to the campground, though campers need water purification equipment since no treated water is available. The site prohibits pets and charges no camping fees. Swimming conditions are favorable in the protected cove, and the dock setup works well for larger boats needing secure overnight mooring in the campgrounds near Wenatchee National Forest region.
Description
Due to Uno Peak Fire this campground is closed. Potential for catastrophic flash floods are high. This boat-in campground offers a floating dock with a six boat capacity. There are four tent sites, two fire rings, two tables, and one vault toilet. This site has year round access and is a good shelter from both up and down lake winds.
