The owner is making available a first camp site on half-acre place in East Wenatchee. The site serves as a shop/house; and is also a growing site for several different species of native sage brushes, wild sunflowers, and moon booming flowers. Seeds from these plants are being used on another 25 acres he and a partner are farming about 30 minutes north as native shrubsteppe livestock pasture. Depending on how this first camp site goes, additional dry camp Class B and smaller camp sites may be added along a river that borders the 25 acre farm. The owner, now retired as a teacher who taught K-8 in a one-room school and now graduate schools, continues to row his boats on rafting expeditions rafts on Western Rivers when he is not on his farm. His 3rd Sprinter/1st self-build was used in these photos. It continues to serve as his test van for his SUP racks and pulls his whitewater raft all over the West. serves asThis 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, take you on a Geocaching outing if I am available.

Camp on the Confluence

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!

Camp on the Confluence

Easy to Find

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!

Camp on the Confluence

Super easy full package!

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.
