Natural Features

Many of the sites overlook the Entiat River as it cascades down the valley to meet the Columbia. The open forest provides plenty of sunshine and a diverse habitat that supports deer, bears, coyotes, bald eagles, and numerous other animals. The Entiat River is fertile ground for salmon and steelhead which still use this waterway for spawning grounds.  

Nearby Attractions

There are multiple trailheads just up the road. The first one you encounter is the Lake Creek Trailhead which is a favorite among mountain bikers and motorcycle riders. Silver Falls National Scenic Trail is the next trailhead you come to and provides a family friendly one and a half mile loop hike to a spectacular waterfall. If you are heading back down river the Entiat National Fish Hatchery is at mile six on Entiat River Road and welcomes visitors in the summer. If your looking for some fun in town the tourist destinations of Chelan and Leavenworth are a relatively short drive away.

Beware - Google Maps only leads to Ranger Station in Entiat. Campground some 25 miles further out of town. Nice campground, hand pumped water, vault toilets (clean!).

This was such a cute spot! It was pretty spacious and had a great view of the river. The river is quite comforting at night, as you can hear the rushing water. This spot is right next to the water pump, which was pretty convenient. It is also close to the bathroom. We had two cars and two tents and felt comfortable. All in all, it was a solid spot. There were, of course, bugs and no service, but that is to be expected in camping.

Nice campground. Facilities kept clean. Campground is located near river up didn't see any easy access points. Layout is challenging with a large RV or camper.

We had Campsite 1, and it was *fantastic*! It was huge and right next to a cascading creek. We've stayed at several campgrounds in WA and this was the best drive up campsite. Campsite 2 looked large as well. The toilet was a pretty standard pit toilet. It didn't smell bad and there was no trash, but there were a ton of flies. We did an evening hike of Silver Falls and didn't see another person the whole time. I would come here again.

We booked online, but another camper came in and couldn't pay because the pay station was covered and only had a QR code. That's great, but there's no cell coverage at Lake Creek, so they couldn't use that method either. We heard 2 gun shots while we were there. These things are unusual at Lake Creek, as we normally really enjoy this campground.
