Why Visit

Lake Chelan State Park

Lake Chelan State Park occupies the forested south shore of Lake Chelan. The official campground map numbers 144 sites. Older official brochure material categorizes 103 standard spaces and 35 utility spaces, including 17 full-hookup and 18 partial-hookup sites; those category totals do not fully reconcile with the current 144-site map, so the listing preserves that distinction. Washington State Parks lists showers, a trailer dump, and utility sites accommodating equipment up to 45 feet.
