Lake Chelan Campgrounds
Junior Point Campground
Requiring 12 miles of driving on the dirt forest service road Shady Pass, Junior Point Campground offers five tent-only campsites with fire rings and picnic tables. Situated at 6,600 ft elevation, this is one of the higher drive-in campsites in the state of Washington, and often the road is blocked by snow until late June. No fees required at this campground, and it is first come first serve. While the Forest Service lists this campground as having 5 sites with firepits and picnic tables, as of our last visit in 2024 there were only two sites with picnic tables and firepits. There are a number of trails open to hiking, mountain biking and dirt biking neary along Devil's Backbone. This area used to be home to a fire lookout perched on the side of a cliff, but the shelter was destroyed in 1968. The foundation is still in place, and provides for amazing views over Lake Chelan.
