Lakeview Campground

What sets Lakeview Campground apart is its unique blend of remote accessibility, close proximity to Lake Chelan, and the convenience of essential amenities—a rare combination in such an isolated wilderness setting. Accessible only by foot, boat, or plane, this campground offers an unparalleled opportunity to disconnect while enjoying pristine natural surroundings just steps away from the Stehekin Landing dock.

The nine walk-in campsites are thoughtfully equipped with picnic tables, food storage lockers, drinking water, and flush toilets, offering a comfortable base for outdoor adventures. While campfires are prohibited, the campground's proximity to trails like the Lakeshore Trail and Imus Trail makes it an ideal launch point for hiking, fishing, or swimming in the chilly yet inviting waters of Lake Chelan. For day trips, visitors can explore nearby attractions such as the historic Buckner Orchard or Rainbow Falls, a stunning 312-foot cascade just a short shuttle ride away.

Located in the Stehekin Valley at the head of Lake Chelan, Lakeview Campground is surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area and serves as a gateway to the North Cascades National Park Complex. The remote Stehekin community, reachable only by ferry, private boat, or small aircraft, offers limited but essential services, including a small general store, a restaurant, and public showers near the landing. This campground is perfect for backpackers, PCT hikers, or anyone seeking a secluded and adventurous escape into the wilderness.
