Eightmile Campground

What if a campground could transport you into the soothing ambience of rushing creek waters, surrounded by towering pines and firs? Eightmile Campground, located in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest near Leavenworth, Washington, delivers such an experience, offering a quiet and forested retreat set along the banks of Icicle Creek. This rustic destination is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts seeking to connect with nature through nearby hiking trails, fishing spots, and breathtaking alpine scenery.

The campground features 41 single-family and 4 double-family sites, each equipped with picnic tables and fire rings. Vault toilets and potable water are available, but modern conveniences like electrical hookups are absent, emphasizing its back-to-basics charm. With its proximity to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, the area provides numerous opportunities for exploration, including challenging treks like the Fourth of July Trail or serene fishing on Icicle Creek. Wildlife encounters, from deer to potentially bears, underscore the wilderness experience.
