## Overview

 Nestled in a forest canopy of pine and fir on the banks of Icicle Creek, Eightmile Campground in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest offers a peaceful setting for friends and family.
## Recreation

 Eightmile Campground offers outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to hike, fish, bike and enjoy a long list of outdoor recreational activities throughout the year. This campground has plenty of trails to explore by bike. Anglers may want to cast a line into the deep pools at nearby Toketie Lake. Populations of rainbow and cutthroat trout find habitat in this somewhat secluded lake. The nearby Fourth of July Trail offers hikers expansive ridge line views and challenging terrain. Beginning in the forest at 4,000 feet, the trail quickly climbs in elevation, out of the trees into more open, arid landscapes. The trail continues, traversing through mountain meadows with spectacular views of the Stuart Mountain Range and Icicle Valley. At 10.6 miles, this is a solid day hike, though backpackers can hook up connecting trails to continue for multiple days though adjacent wilderness settings.
## Facilities

 The Eightmile Campground has 41 single family campsites and 4 double family campsites. All have picnic tables and fire rings. Water is available via nearby hand pumps.
## Natural Features

 Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest offers stunning scenic views, with high, glaciated alpine peaks, valleys of old growth forest and rugged shrub-steppe country making up the diverse landscape. Elevations range from below 1,000 feet to over 9,000 feet. More than 700 lakes and mountain ponds dot the glacier-carved terrain of nearby Alpine Lake Wilderness. Tree-covered valleys give way to rocky ridges and rugged peaks along the crest of the Cascades. Many peaks and slopes are permanently cloaked in snowfields. From wet forests of Douglas fir, cedar, and an understory of salal and berries, to firs and mountain hemlock, the landscape opens up to expansive meadows matted with low growth and ends with dry forestland of ponderosa pine and grasses. Congress designated the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in 1976 with a total of 362,789 acres. Prior to designation, aggressive mining and logging operations punched numerous access roads into the area, creating a wildly irregular boundary to this popular area. 
## Nearby Attractions

 Visitors enjoy the North Cascades and Mt. Rainier National Parks, where interpretive programs and exhibits offer education about the diverse landscape and history of the area. Guests can also explore the area\'s colorful railroad and mining history at the Steven\'s Pass Historic District, or hit the slopes at Steven\'s Pass Ski Area.

Eightmile Campground

A friend told me to check out Leavenworth. It was cute, but every bit the touristy type of thing I’m not a fan of. The real jewel of the area are these Wenatchee National Forest campgrounds. This one is right on the river. I think I paid $22. for a walk-in tent site (but we camped in the parking lot in our rooftop tent). The best walk in tent site is right on the river. Very relaxing. Beautifully wooded sites. Beware of bear activity.

Fabulous River Sites!

The most beautiful place 

This Is a fantastic campground kept very clean by wonderful hosts. Despite that, you may find some very loud and partying neighbors, most likely on the weekend. 
Plus, bears! 

Lovely 

Sites are comfortable with shade.  Reasonably level on blacktop. Several hiking trails.  Cell service is nonexistant.  Shopping available in Leavenworth, roughly 5 miles.  No power, hookups or dump station 

Only real complaint is low water pressure at water stations. 

Nice site, low pressure at water stations

Absolutely love Eightmile.  The Icicle River runs through it and everyone can hear it in June.  Bugs were minimal.  Waterfront sites availabile.
One my top ten lists of campgrounds

Lupine and rushing water

Everything is green and the sites are very clean, hosts take really care, a bit busy, but we still found space for our RV, had no problem with noise, despite the sound of the water it was silent, water really has a bit low pressure so you need a time to fullfill but it’s clean
