This drive to campground offers four tent sites with fire rings, picnic tables and two pit toilets. Remember to bring water, and to take your garbage with you when you leave. There are a number of hiking opportunities in the vicinity of these sites: Devils Backbone trail, Pot Peak trail and Angle Peak trail
Directions from Chelan: Travel west on U.S. 97 for approximately 3 miles to a junction. Stay right and follow the Lake on the south shore road, north passed Twenty Five Mile Creek State Park. Take a left onto FS Road #5900 and the campground is about 11 miles up the road.
Only a few campsites. Tremendous views. I go every year. I've seen a Bear so follow the rules. No water so bring some and enjoy perfection.
No cell service unless you walk down the tank trapped road. There are old wooden pit toilets and a decent view of lake Chelan from certain vantages near the campground. A fire came through a year ago so be aware of damaged trees that may fall or break off and cause harm in the area as well as stump holes/old ash pits that children can fall into.
The road up was horrible for me and I couldn't make it to the campground so, this is reviewing the path and not the campground. Just know the road up is very steep dirt/gravel, and very many switchbacks. It was too far out for me, too exposed to a possible wildfire and bears but maybe someone else's jam.
Great place to camp. Wasn't crowded on what seemed like a busy weekend everywhere else. The views are good, but the drive up is prettier than the site itself.
