Camping near Chelan guide

Overview

Head to Chelan for a camping getaway at lakeshore glamping and cabin rentals next to Lake Chelan. Or park the motorhome at an RV park in town with wifi, flush toilets, and a dump station. A day trip awaits to Lake Chelan State Park for water sports, kayaking, boating, and fishing. Mountain biking and backpacking are also options at Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, a dispersed pet-friendly camping haven accessible by foot or ferry. The recreation area is a remote playground in the North Cascades offering access to wineries and quiet nights around campfires. Just outside of Chelan is Twenty-Five Mile Creek State Park, where campers can sleep under the stars at RV and tent sites with full hookups. Or stay in upscale cabins with restrooms before going off-roading and hiking in the park. Winter campers can have just as much fun with hot showers and 50-amp hookups at year-round campsites near Echo Valley Ski Area.
