The best camping near Twenty-Five Mile Creek State Park

Wake up to views of the mountains and Lake Chelan at this family-friendly park. The 235-acre lake offers boating, fishing, diving, or water skiing. Or, head out into the hills for birdwatching, hiking, and mind-boggling views.

The fun starts at the lakeshore. Take a dip in the swimming area, or cast your fishing rod from the shore. A boat launch makes it easy to get out on the water. There’s even a little store for snacks and fishing supplies.

Near the park, well-maintained trails take you out into the Cascades. Challenge yourself with a visit to Pot Peak — be sure to bring water. In the summer, enjoy the views from the Devil's Backbone trail.

A small campground offers 25 different tent sites. For RVs, there are 7 full hookup sites and 4 options with partial hookups. If possible, snag a creekside spot and let the flowing water lull you to sleep.
