Entiat Campgrounds
Entiat Campgrounds
Camping around Entiat puts you in the heart of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, with most campgrounds sitting directly along the banks of the Entiat River as it winds through a narrow, forested valley. Options range from Entiat City Park — a well-equipped campground on the Columbia River close to town — to Cottonwood Campground at the end of the road, 38 miles into the backcountry. Most campgrounds are operated by the Forest Service, open seasonally from late spring through fall, and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Use the filters below to find the right fit, or browse the map to see where each campground is located. Dispersed camping is also available on National Forest land throughout the valley for those who prefer a more flexible experience.Placeholder in dev for ad

comparison tips
1. Most Campgrounds Are Directly on the Entiat River
The majority of campgrounds in the valley sit right on the banks of the Entiat River, so river access is easy from almost any site. If you're set on a riverside spot, most options will deliver — the bigger choice is how far into the valley you want to go.
2. The Further You Go, the More Remote It Gets
Campgrounds deeper in the valley (Fox Creek, Lake Creek, Silver Falls, North Fork, Cottonwood) are increasingly secluded. The tradeoff is a longer drive on a winding forest road, but the reward is more solitude, better scenery, and closer access to backcountry trails.
3. Entiat City Park Has the Best Amenities
If you want the most developed experience, Entiat City Park is the standout: closest to town, well-maintained facilities, boat launch access on the Columbia River, and playground areas for families. It's a different feel from the Forest Service campgrounds up the valley, but a solid choice for those who want convenience.
4. Most Campgrounds Don't Have Showers
Unlike some campground areas in the region, none of the Entiat Valley campgrounds offer showers. Plan accordingly — vault toilets are the norm, and potable water is available at some but not all sites. If showers are a must, consider staying in Wenatchee or Chelan and day-tripping into the valley.
5. Popular Campgrounds Fill on Summer Weekends
Silver Falls, Pine Flats, and Lake Creek campgrounds see the most traffic and can fill up on summer holiday weekends. Most sites are first-come, first-served, so arriving early — or planning a midweek trip — is the best strategy. Dispersed camping on National Forest land is an option if the developed sites are full.
