Welcome to the Derby Canyon Retreat! Located just 14 miles from Leavenworth, this 6 acre private paradise is entrenched in nature. Enjoy the serene surroundings, natural setting, wooded mountain land, various and beautiful terrain surrounding this site. As of 6/10/24 this is ONE campsite available for rent. As one site it can accomodate large groups and multiple vehicles. The main area is campsite 1, there is additional parking for overflow and larger trailers on the property, what was previously referred to as campsite 2. Full VIDEO tour available on youtube: https://youtu.be/xdp5w18dzBQ Playlist with various tours, how-to (toilet, well, etc) available here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhj8T6O39E9_dkxgMP-u9pw4IvNYNpbnt Campsite include water on site (boil or filter before drinking!) access to the community outhouse, and outdoor shower with on demand hot water. FIRE BAN on all wood and charcoal, propane firepits located at each campsite, just BYOPropane! This retreat is dedicated to sustainable living and development. Our well is powered by solar panels and batteries. Booking this hipcamp is supporting sustainable living and development! :D If you like nature, there are many features for you. From hiking to biking, off road access, hunting, or wildlife viewing, Derby Canyon offers it all. Enjoy a day in Leavenworth, the Wenatchee River, mountain bike trail, or a hike in the mountains. Though most of the area does not receive cell phone service (I have Verizon) we do get service at this site. Located about 5 miles off the county road (High ground clearance and 4x4 vehicles recommended for this forest service road leading to the campsite), cell service will fall off for the first 4 miles, however most people will have service at the site itself. Please PRINT or DOWNLOAD the directions I will email you for OFFLINE use! For now we are offering this site as a private escape campsite to enjoy the depths of nature in a serene setting. Wood fires are not allowed but we do have a propane firepit available for use free of charge - bring your own propane!Welcome to the Derby Canyon Retreat!

This site was huge and so beautiful with all the fall colors! Kevin was a great communicator and quick at responding to messages. This would be a great site for multiple campers, and so much to do in the area. I loved learning new parts around Leavenworth that I hadn’t seen before!

Had a great stay at Kevin’s campsite. It has it all: so much land, a hot shower, a flushable toilet, sink, and a stovetop. For how off grid it is, it covers way more than the basic amenities, and it’s all curated intentionally. And, it’s only 30 mins outside of town. We camped there for a couple of nights, because we were going to do the thru hike at the Enchantments. It was a great place to rest before and after. Saw the sun at the campsite on our last day, and it’s stunning; so are the stars at night. Definitely recommend a stay with Kevin. He’s very responsive and shared a lot of information before we got to the site. It all helped a lot. Thank you!

Chill outdoor lodging
Initially when I picked this campsite the radius given to me included Cashmere, which seemed much closer to Leavenworth. This is usually how it goes with Hipcamp and air Bnb until you actually reserve the site. That being said, really solid spot if you don’t mind a somewhat rugged drive. The shower was a great way to end long days of climbing and hiking. The fire pit was cozy. It was perfectly quiet out there. It looks like they’re developing more campsites and I feel like this spot has lots of potential. Overall good choice

Quiet place to camp. The toilet and shower were welcome after a long day hiking

Quiet Canyon Retreat
This is a great place to get away from it all but still be close to everything. It is a rustic site, so it will be real boondocking. The outside shower is nice and felt great after a day of hiking. Be prepared for the road in, especially if hauling a trailer. Kevin sends great instructions and if you follow those you’ll have no trouble finding it. My GPS got me there fine, but it was nice to have his directions as back up. It is a narrow dirt road that is pretty rough in places, so it will be slow going getting up into the canyon, especially if towing. I made it fine without 4 wheel drive, even in the pouring rain, but just take it slow. If you’re looking for a quiet place to escape while still being able to explore the area, I would recommend.

This location has a remote, peaceful feel We stayed here on a Friday and Saturday night. The location is remote after a nice drive on a back semi-rugged road. The evenings were peaceful and quite, and the lower part of the road leading to the campsite was busy with bicycles and dirt bikes during the day. Kevin gave amazing written directions and provided videos to make the location easy to find...even for us arriving after dark! There were just two of us on our trip but the spot is great for a larger group.
