There are not just a ton of choices if you are visiting Leavenworth. We got here around 9pm and there were still 3-4 sites available. Sites were paved and somewhat flat. Velvet buck was eating next to our class c the next morning.
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
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
This campground is better suited for tents, not RVs or camper vans. Many of the sites are small and lack privacy, especially those in the west end. We reserved on line and there was no notice that sites 30 and 31 share the vehicle space! Since we were camping in a van, we felt like we were in an ordinary parking lot and not camping. Two strange vehicles parked immediately next two us the whole time. There were some other shared parking sites too. Ok for tent camping because you can tent away from the parking area, but not ok for vehicles.
In addition, people kept walking through our site (and we watched them walk through other occupied sites). One day, my hubby wasn't feeling well, so we took a nap only to be woken by our dog growling because a man and women were peering into the side window of our van! WTH! Numerous people walked through through our site even though the end was a restoration area clearly marked to stay off of, but people walked through it anyway. And, then there were the young men playing football in our site. Oh, and the dogs not on leashes. One knocked me over when it jumped on me from the bushes as I was heading to the restroom at night.
The only good thing was that the vault toilet was the cleanest ever vault toilet. No odors!! Kudos to the guy who cleans it!
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.
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!
I'd love to return here and grab that spot on the flowing river. Besides the natural scene, the grounds are clean and just have a good vibe.
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.
River, nice size, clean, glorious
This creek is what beautiful mountain dreams are made of! Been here a few times and loved it! Close to Leavenworth and so far away at the same time. Beautiful hiking! We’ll be back again and again.
