Located near the confluence of Phelps Creek and the Chiwawa River, about 23 miles from Fish Lake, there are 7 tent sites and 6 equestrian sites at this campground.
From Leavenworth, WA, take US Rt. 2 west 14.1 miles to Recreation Area /State Rt. 207 signs. Turn right at signs onto State Rt. 207 north and go 4.3 miles to a "Y" intersection. Bear right onto Chiwawa Loop Rd. ( Forest Rt. 62) and go 1.2 miles to Chiwawa River Rd. Turn left and go 22.4 miles to campground on left. NOTE: Forest Rt. 62 becomes Forest Rt. 6200, single-lane and then gravel at 10.9 miles.
Secluded and a bit off the main road, but we did sleep here in off season
We had a great time here. Our spot was close to a little creek and the kids loved playing in the creek. There were lots of hiking trails around so my husband was happy. Many of the campsites were shaded which was nice during the day.
The only down downsides were:
The road to the site was berry rough the last half and was pretty narrow, one car wide. That was a little stressful.
The bugs, mosquitoes and biting flies, were not as bad as some places we've been, but they were still pretty annoying.
