Purple Point Campground

Very accessible and a great campground with access to a clean washroom with a flush toilet. My group and I were in site 1 - which had 2 tent spots. We really loved camping here for two nights! There is a bear safe food storage unit for every 2 campsites. Each campsite has a picnic bench as well as a fire-pit(when we visited there was a fire ban, so we couldn’t use it). I really loved site 1 as it afforded views of the Cascade pass in the north and the Northern section of Lake Chelan. One thing though - our campsite was visible from the road - especially the picnic bench; often, we were saying hello or waving to other fellow travelers using the road. It wasn’t a big deal for us - however if that bothers you, I was told by my friend that you can put up a tarp as a screen!

When you just cross the street to Purple Point there is a dock and ramps that you can walk on and your view is phenomenal. The water is cold but you can swim and it's not very deep and it's nice there's a log that you can swim to or you can sunbathe on it if you want. And it's very close to the shoreline. If voters are leaving really early you might hear them or for sure hear them. And since you're very close to the road you will hear a little road traffic as people start moving about their day ...no sleeping in 🤣🤣!

A scenic free campground that caters to hikers. Best kept secret in Washington State. A definite must stay if taking a zero.

A very short walk from the ferry. Some lake views but it can be noisy in the am. Bear boxes need to be used. Dishwashing station with a flush toilet. No showers. We enjoyed camping here while we explored Stehkin.

Nice layout easy access and running water.
