This campground is located along the Chiwawa River, 20 miles from Fish Lake. There are a total of 11 campsites along the floor of a large glacial carved valley. Sites are occupied on a first come first served basis.
From Leavenworth, WA, take US-2 West for about 15 miles. Turn right onto WA-207 North and travel 4.4 miles. Turn right onto Chiwawa Loop Road and go about 0.5 mile. Stay right onto County Highway 22 and travel 0.8 miles. Take the second left onto Chiwawa River Road/Forest Road 6200. Follow Chiwawa River/Forest Road 6200 for about 16 miles (road becomes rough gravel / dirt at 11 mile point). The campground will be on your left.
Beautiful area and river. Took my family up during the week, and was harrassed by a group weirdos hiding in the woods during the night. Making war whoops around my truck in the brush ( in the dark) to the point me and my family (plus four small kids) felt threatened for our safety and had to get the chelan county police to escort us back to camp to pack up and drive 4 hours home in the middle of the night. Contacted the ranger for that area and was disappointed at the lack of concern for the situation. Ranger mentioned it could of been researchers studying owls in the area....really???? The 911 dispatcher in Leavenworth also confirmed she has heard of similar harrassment in that area as well. Beautiful area, that being said be aware of people like these up there! Would hate for anyone to go what we went through, stay safe.
Most beautiful place to camp. Atkinson Flatts #4 has an amazing 180 degree view of the river. A lot of deer, too.
It does have A LOT of mosquitoes. We had three candles going and 40% deet bug spray and we still got bit.
The river is extremely cold and very fast, do not underestimate its power. Just around the bend is a huge natural log jam that canoes, kayaks or floats don’t make it through.
Overall, very beautiful and worth it.
Nice little campground near the river. Only one spot on river. Primitive facilities.
