Beebe Bridge State Park sits along the south bank of the Columbia River about four miles east of Chelan, just off Highway 97. The park was originally built by the Chelan County PUD and is now operated by Washington State Parks. It is open for camping from April 15 through October 15 and is split into two distinct areas: a northern day use section and a southern campground.
The campground has 46 tent and RV sites, each with a tent pad, picnic table, and fire pit. All sites include electricity and water hookups, with both 30 and 50 amp service available. There are 23 pull-through and 23 back-in sites. Tree coverage is decent throughout — some sites sit in good shade while others are more open. The sites are well spaced but without vegetation between them, so neighboring sites are visible. A power line runs over the campground near site 45. The park borders Highway 97, and road noise carries into the campground, most noticeably at night. A handful of sites near the river have pleasant views across the Columbia.
The northern day use section offers a swimming beach, boat launch, boat moorage, tennis and basketball courts, a sand volleyball court, a grass playfield, horseshoe pits, and a playground. The Beebe Springs Wildlife Area is nearby, with interconnected hiking and walking trails along the river and surrounding hills.

Beebe Bridge State Park sits just off Highway 97, and road noise carries through the campground. It is most noticeable at night. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs or choose a site farther from the highway side.
The campground is open April 15 through October 15. The day use area — swimming, boat launch, courts, and playground — may have separate seasonal hours. Check with Washington State Parks for current conditions outside the main camping window.
A Washington State Discover Pass is required for day use visits. If you are camping, your reservation confirmation serves as your day use entry pass.
All 46 sites include electricity and water hookups. Both 30 and 50 amp service is available. There are 23 pull-through and 23 back-in sites, with each site including a tent pad, picnic table, and fire pit. Note that there is no sewer service at this campground.
A power line runs over the campground near site 45 and continues across the Columbia River. If the power line view is a concern, request a site away from the southern end of the campground when booking.
The Beebe Springs Wildlife Area is located close to the park with a network of trails along the Columbia River and surrounding hillsides. It makes for a good morning walk or short hike right from camp.
