The owner is offering a half-acre place in East Wenatchee as a first camp that is one of several being developed on 26 acres in this region.
This first camp is on reclaimed property has a shop/home tucked under the fir trees in the SE corner. In the shop, custom SUP racks for vans and truck campers, hippie hot-tub stands, and whitewater expedition catarafts are designed and built.
The owner, now retired as a teacher instructing students from kindergarten to graduate school, regularly spends 10 - 30 days rowing expedition rafts on Western Rivers in the summer and over 40 nights each year rambling in his 3rd Sprinter.
This first came is built to simulate off the grid camping in the Southwest. It is sandy, exposed to the sun and wind, has amazing views, sunsets, and sunrises. Unlike many overlanding camps, there is 110 and 220 RV power, a potable water hose, RV hose connector, but no additional toilet or shower facilities.
Almost all cell phones get excellent service in this area as this region is very high tech and considered by some to be the bit coin mining capital of the world thanks to very low cost electrical power.
The Desert property has spectacular views of the Columbia River's confluence with the Wenatchee River, the Enchantment Mountains high above Leavenworth to the West, and the Cascade Range climbing north toward the Methow. The site is unique, as the homesite and camp site are both built on mounds of concrete rubble from prior farm, garden, shop, and orchard structures that used to be at this location.
Water is costly in this region and his parcel does not have irrigation. As a result, the landscape has been slowly replanted by the owner with native sage, antelope and rabbit brush, wild grasses and a variety of wild flowers including a variety of moon blooming that arrive late summer.
The fence is for privacy, not containment and has openings so that rabbits, deer, coyotes, wild turkeys, owls, numerous song birds, and the occasional mule deer trekking from the Badger Mountain to the Columbia River can find refuge. During the fall, it is below a major flightpath for Canadian Geese.
The new Desert camp area is still mostly sand, continues to expand with native shrub steppe species and pollinators.If you are thinking of rambling to the Moab, Death Valley, Arizona, or other regions of the Southwest or desert high country, this site is very similar to what you will find. The topography is on the edge of the Central Washington Scablands and offers Shrub Steppe Deseret complete with a variety of wild sage, native flowers, and the occasional tumbleweed.
The views are spectacular to the West with the Enchantments clearly visible as well as the Columbia River. From where you park, you are a 5 minute bike ride to the Apple Loop Trail that goes for miles.
The camp is about 45 minutes to the Gorge Amphitheatre, and 30 minutes to Leavenworth. Historic downtown Wenatchee is 15 minutes, Lake Clean 30 minutes, and Twisp and the Methow Region about 90 minutes. A variety of birds and wildlife can be viewed on the site as well as down along the Columbia. A small lizard has also moved into the area. Pets are welcome, but must be kept on leash or penned to protect nesting birds and wildlife that live in the sage.
Where you camp is s a basic RV hookup with power, water, and an RV dump connection. Some maps still show a building on this site. The building was removed winter 2023 and the ground is now being rehabilitated with native plants and grasses. It will take up to 5 years for it to be similar to the land in front of the owner's adjacent shophouse.
Pickups with fixed or pop-up campers are also fine.
