Wenatchee Confluence State Park Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Where the Wenatchee River meets the Columbia, this state park campground sits on a broad, flat stretch of land at the edge of Wenatchee's city limits, reached by threading through an industrial and office park before the road opens onto open grass and river views. The setting is distinctly urban-adjacent. Road noise and the sounds of neighboring campers carry easily across the open layout, and Canadian geese are a regular presence on the grass.

Sites are spacious and well-separated, with concrete pads, sand tent pads, and fire rings set on small gravel areas. Tents cannot be placed on the grass, and sprinklers run on a timer, so tent campers should plan accordingly. Rich S. notes that "some are nicely shaded," though the majority of sites sit in open field with limited tree cover. The campground accommodates RVs up to 65 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, and pull-through sites are available. Winter stays are possible, though water hookups are typically shut off in the colder months while electric and dump access remain operational.

The day-use area adds real value. A boat ramp, roped-off swimming area, tennis and basketball courts, and a playground sit just a short walk from the campsites. Paved bike paths connect the campground to the day-use zone and extend into a roughly 10-mile loop around the river, with access to Pybus Public Market in town. Showers are token-operated, with two tokens costing $1 and each token providing three minutes of hot water.

Corinna B. notes the campground was "probably 70% full" on a March visit, and summer weekends draw local families for barbecues and lawn games, so reservations are worth making in advance. The campground is open year-round and allows pets. Leavenworth is roughly 20 miles to the west. Campers who prefer dispersed camping can look at Horse Lake Road Dispersed — Wenatchee Foothills, or browse places to camp near Wenatchee for additional options in the area.

Spacious!!

I have never had such wide spread out spaces in any state campground.  It was amazing.  The spaces were level, lots of grass and enough trees to provide shade at every spot too.  The campground is just outside of town and next to the river.  The river level was low so the swimming area was disappointing at the time we were there.  Campground was so quiet.  At night there was a bit of road noise, but mostly drowned out by the sound of crickets.  Restrooms were clean.  Bike path is really nice.

Beautiful park in the middle of town

Although we don’t normally camp within city centers, this place was a pleasant surprise. Large and sprawling, there are large grassy areas and walking/biking trails all over the campground and area. Bathrooms are clean. Showers require tokens; $1=2 tokens=6 minutes. Not a fan of pay showers inside a pay campground. But, they only have two per bathroom, so it keeps some people who take hour long showers (oh, I’ve seen them, no joke!) from hogging the stalls. Sites are concrete with tent pads, and some are nicely shaded. Host and staff are friendly, too. Someone was in our non-electric spot when we arrived. The host put us at a full hookup spot for no extra charge because the guy pulled into the wrong spot. Our gain!

Super nice campground

Even though 99% of the time we boondock, we’ve stayed at this campground twice now. Once in the summer months and now in November. This last stay was FCFS. There isn’t any water hookups any longer for winter but there are many sights that have electric and dump hookups that are still operational. The camp itself is very well maintained. They are all drive through spots with a a picnic table on a concrete pad connected to a small gravel area that has a fire ring. A lot of open grassy area and the sites are definitely spaced far enough apart you don’t feel you’re on top of each other. Even in November, there’s groundskeepers maintaining the sites, leaf blowing, etc. would not hesitate to stay here again!

Just Okay

Just past an industrial park, it is a pretty noisy campground due to the road noise, geese noise, open space to hear all your neighbors, and nearby race track. Everything was clean and tidy. Like another reviewer said, lots of green grass but often covered by Canadian Goose poop. Great access to the bike trail into town (visit the Pybus Market!) or just take a ride on the 10 mile loop around the river. There was also plenty of space for the kids to bike around the campground.

Popular Washington State Park

Popular state park that is, as the title hints, at the confluence of the Wenatchee and Columbia Rivers. Big, wide open spaces that are available for day use and popular with locals on the weekends for barbecues and games. Large beach area on the river with swimming.

Many tent and RV spots available, but they are all out, exposed in a kind of open field with a few trees. Nice showers and bathroom facilities on-site. Gorgeous views of the river and surrounding hills everywhere you look. However you do have to navigate the city of Wenatchee office park to get there.

Only 20 miles from Leavenworth, Washington and about 2.5 hours from Seattle. Popular with kids for the playground and lots of flat areas for biking and pick-up softball/football games.

Okay Campground. Great Day-Use Area.

Just past a random industrial and office park area and right on the river, Wentachee Confluence State Park is a very large, flat, grassy area with plenty of room but very little privacy between sites.

Bathrooms are clean if older. Lots and lots of green grass (often covered by Canadian Goose poop). Sprinklers are on a schedule timer (certain days), which means that tents can't go on the grass. Some sites had lovely water views. There's extra parking available as well as several pull-throughs. All-in-all, the campground was nice and felt safe, but not that exciting.

The day use area, however, was pretty great and just a short walk from the campground. It included a boat ramp, seating on the river, tennis courts, picnic tables, and a very nice play structure. I have no doubt this place gets busy in the summer, though when we were there in March is was well used already and the campground was probably 70% full.

Tip: Great place for kids to ride bikes with plenty of paved pathways between the campground and day use area.

Very clean, Lots of amenities

On the Columbia/Wenatchee rivers in Wenatchee. We tent camped. All sites have sand tent pads. You cannot set tents on grass. Shower tokens are purchased 2 for $1.00 and each token allows a 3 minute shower. There is firewood available for $5.00 a bundle. Cell service was awesome/no free WiFi. Only 5 minutes to a ton of restaurants and Walmart/target. We would stay again and reccomened to others. Leavenworth WA is 20 miles away also.
