RV parks and campgrounds here range from lakefront private operations to backcountry sites within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The region draws campers seeking access to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, The Enchantments, and over 6,000 miles of trails. Summers are warm and dry, winters cold and quiet, making Chelan a year-round destination with distinct seasonal character.
Lakeshore RV Park sits in the City of Chelan itself, providing direct access to the lake and marina. Summerhill Farm RV Park stands apart as a boutique operation built on 160 acres with deep farming roots, blending agricultural tourism with modern RV amenities for guests seeking an authentic farm experience. For those wanting immersion in National Forest land, Snowberry Bowl Campground, South Navarre Campground, and Graham Harbor Boat-In Campground all operate within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and provide gateways to hiking, biking, climbing, and fishing. The mix includes privately owned operations and government-managed sites, so campers can choose between full-service parks and rustic forest camping.
The area anchors recreation around Lake Chelan itself, where the Lakeshore Marina operates, and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness with its signature rugged terrain in The Enchantments. North Cascades National Park lies 66 miles away, accessible for day trips or longer excursions. Hikers tap into the forest's network of trails, while anglers work the lake and its tributaries. The Methow Valley and Mountains to Sound Greenway sit within reach for explorers with time to venture beyond the immediate shoreline. Lake Chelan Golf Course offers a different pace for those mixing recreation types.
Chelan's climate runs cool and arid. January averages 29 degrees Fahrenheit, while July reaches 73 degrees. Annual precipitation sits at just 11.4 inches, meaning reliable dry weather for most of the camping season. The area sits at 6,546 feet elevation on lakefront terrain, so mornings bring crisp mountain air even in summer. Spring and fall offer mild days perfect for hiking without summer heat, while winter attracts fewer crowds but demands proper RV winterization. The town's compact size and roadside location on the Chelan River make it easy to base camp and explore the surrounding forest and wilderness in all directions.
