Ask about Leavenworth Octoberfest transport to and from the Octoberfest! Come stay at a fully-functioning whitewater rafting riverside basecamp! We offer tent camping on-site and group sites as well. We have a small area, but most of it is shaded and right by the river. Learn more about this land: Come camp near the river at a fully-functional whitewater river rafting basecamp!! Our group-style camping area is great for small groups of people or small, two-somes too. We have a total of 4 spots,; 1 is suitable for 2 large, or 3 small tents, 2 are suitable for 2-averags-sized tents, and one is a small tent spot only.  Camp spots are next to each other, so not alot of "Wild forest-camping" here.  We refer to it as urban camping. Please be aware that there is some traffic noise here, as we are close to Highway 2.   Weekend camping is limited, and you may hear the occasional train whistle. WiFi and fire pit included as well as on-site port-a-potties.  There is a large communal firepit, but no individual camp firepits, with the option of bringing a propane stand-alone firepit.  Small fires only in June, fire ban starting July 1st due to wildfire concerns.  No smoking and children are OK as long as they are kept under control.  In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are spacing camps out more, we have a foot-operated handwash station, and 2 hand sanitizing stations.  Per the CDC, we are unable to offer any potable water to anyone this year.  Our camping area is somewhat small, does NOT have grass, but area has bark.  Please be ready to be respectful of our neighbors and other campers by keeping your music to a low-to-medium volume.  Please bring photo ID and a credit card to complete our camper registration form with.  In addition, we are a river rafting company, so we may not have anyone present when you show up - don't worry, we are probably on the river and will be back soon!  *** Please message before booking to insure we are a good match***Come camp near the river at a fully-functional whitewater river rafting basecamp!!

We loved the camp site, our daughter enjoyed the animals and even got a short ride on the pony , which was above expectations . Kevin’s hospitality was implacable

Good, Basic Campground
Tent
Rafting, kayaking, and river running are the focus of this business, with the campground a complientary and supplemental enterprise. Small campground is basic, but tidy and essentials (porta-poddy and handfasting station, lighting) are provided. Host was available, affable, helpful, and communicated well. I'd recommend if you have all your campung equipment and your needs are few. Nearby train tracks are busy but were pretty quiet after dark.

It was a cute quirky space. The Porta potty stall was well maintained and clean. P.s. don’t skip the earplugs. The trains give zero F’s about your sleep, safety first.

We stayed with our 2 kids at this location and it was fine. Nice little area but close to freeway and next to rail road tracks which is part of the deal there. It’s a river rafting business with places to put a tent up. It’s noisy but the cost is low. We had good experience with the owner/manager. There is garbage on site and portable toilet.
