Sagebrush Hollow

3 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · Chelan, WA
This is for the adventurous Hipcamper that appreciates the bumpy dirt road. Your Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla won't get you here. Cell service is limited. But it is so worth it. Come relax and enjoy the views of the Columbia River and the North Cascades. Plenty of sunshine with epic sunsets, our property is where you come to unwind and soak in the sun when the east side of the Cascades is socked in with clouds and rain. If you want to explore the area, it's about a 10-minute car ride to the Columbia River and 20 minutes to Chelan and all that is offered there. Our favorite activities when we visit are to listen to the birds chirp and take in the surroundings. There are several lava rock piles that speak to the long and volcanic geological history of the area. We also really enjoy walking the dirt road on the ridge. It provides some of the most incredible views in the area. The dirt road section over the ridge can be a little rough and dusty and it's recommended that guests have a medium clearance vehicle, such as a Subaru Outback. However, a guest once drove their Honda Civic down to the site, so it really depends on your comfort level. If in doubt, just ask! We have a security camera on site we use for wildlife sightings and to check the weather. If the idea of having the camera bothers you, feel free to place a blanket or some other type of cover during your stay. We can also turn the camera to only face the entrance. Just let us know. Please respect the surroundings and others' property. There are several other vacation cabins in the area and everyone enjoys their peace and quiet. We provide a privy for guests to use, but be prepared to pack out waste in case it doesn't meet your standards. We try to keep it clean and stocked with TP, but we can only get out to the land every few weeks. If you're looking for peace and tranquility, Sagebrush Hollow is the place for you.

Camping near Ephrata guide

Overview

Ephrata may be known as the gateway to the Columbia Basin in central Washington, but it’s also a renowned camping destination full of water adventures and relaxation. Go for a soak in the mineral waters of Soap Lake before setting up lakeside at Ephrata RV parks with pull-through sites, 30- and 50-amp hookups, restrooms, and showers. Moses Lake, Grant County’s largest freshwater lake, gives campers more than 18 miles of shoreline and biking trails. Go swimming or ATVing at Moses Lake Mud Flats and Sand Dunes, then check in at tent camping areas with picnic tables, fire rings, and easy access to hiking trails. Take a day trip to Hanford Reach National Monument, just an hour south of Ephrata, or trek along the sandy beaches of the Columbia River, an hour west of town. Explore 51 miles of shoreline, wildlife viewing areas, and horseback riding trails before reserving private campsites that offer farm-to-table cuisine, cabin rentals with riverfront views, or tent sites with free wifi, full hookups, and hot showers.
