    Full RV hookups
    Electrical, water, and sewage hookups are available at all sites.
    This camp site shares a half-acre place in East Wenatchee with the owner's shouse (shop house), which serves as our town home when were not on our farm. There is also an upstairs studio that is currently rented. The yard is not watered and is made up of native shrubs, grasses. and flowers. On the porch is an easy to use freshwater hottub big enough for one, and perhaps even two people. The site serves as a great base camp for regional adventures or business visits as well as overlanders.This camp is similar to the topography of the Southwest. It is sandy, exposed to the sun and wind, and has amazing sunsets, and sunrises,. The Columbia River flows less than a mile away and is easily visible from the site. When clear, there are spectacular views to the West of the Enchantment Mountains above Leavenworth. The camp is a 10-20 minute drive to both hospitals and clinics in the Wenatchee area. It is 30 minutes to Leavenworth, 45 to the Gorge Amphitheater, or Lake Chelan, and less than 2 hours to Winthrop, Twisp, and the Methow Region. The camp site is unique as both the camp and adjacent shophouse are both built on mounds of concrete rubble from prior buildings at this location. In the shop/house, custom SUP/surfboard racks for vans and truck campers, horse trough fresh water portable hot-tub stands, and whitewater expedition catarafts are pdesigned and built. This site is not in the woods or out on a large parcel of land, but rather among other rural and suburban homes in Douglas County on the edge of East Wenatchee. There is no restroom available on the site, so vans and campers must have their own toilet. The fence is for privacy, not containment and has openings so that rabbits, coyotes, wild turkeys, owls, numerous song birds, and the occasional mule deer trekking from Badger Mountain to the Columbia River can find refuge. During the fall, the property it is below a major flightpath for Canadian Geese. On the site live rabbits, nesting birds, and small lizards along with up to three coyotes who occasionally hangout. As a result, pets must be kept in your RV, or on a leash if outside. This protect nesting birds and wildlife that live on the site. It is also important to clean up all animal poop as both little and big kids come adventuring through the sage. Excellent recreational activities such as hiking, cycling, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, birding, etc., are in the immediate and outlying area. From the camp, you are a 5 minute bike ride to the Apple Loop Trail that goes both north and south for miles. Many people use it for daily commuting. If available, I am happy to show you the quickest way to the Apple Loop Trail or take you on a Geocaching outing if I am available.

    Hit the trail at Garn’s!

    We really enjoyed our stay! Convenient location and so close to the Apple Capital Loop trail access. We didn’t end up taking our dogs but would have been a good spot for them too. We took our bikes out for part of the loop trail one morning of our stay (highly recommend). The owner was a wonderful communicator and we hope to be back soon!

    Easy to Find
    12 ft campervan · With pets
    The site was clean and easy to find. Google directions took us right there. Unfortunately we didn't realize the site is in a neighborhood setting, so the traffic noise from the freeway was a little disruptive. But if you are in a camper or motorhome I'm sure you couldn't hear it!

    Super easy full package!
    24 ft Class C · With kids
    We stayed a quick night to help us get into town sooner than we were originally planning and our stay was great. Having full hookups really made it so easy and convenient for our family. Close enough to town that was it easy to stop on our way to the spot, and far enough that it was nice and quiet.
