Beautiful site! Tracy is so kind. She checked on us daily to see if we needed anything. The tent site is beautiful, soft, and sheltered. The river is absolutely magical. The stars are unmatched. And her dog is just the best. 10/10 spot :)

Spend 4 days and 3 nights at Swiftwater. Tracy is an amazing host. She is very friendly and at the same time not intrusive at all. The Riverside beach is great and provided plenty of shade and sand for the kids to have a great time. The camp is conveniently located near Lake Entiat, Leavenworth, Wenatchee, and Chelan. I cannot recommend this site enough.

Great host! she is very friendly to us. The property has lots of things to do and is very roomy. We will definitely come back sometime later! There are multiple options for camping spots, a beautiful beach by the river and a natural pool. Best value, come with your friends for a full experience!

Great little gem tucked away from the crowds. The bathroom and shower was very nice. It’s only 30 mins from Leavenworth and has plenty of gravel and mountain biking from the campsite.

I loved the location by the river. It is secluded, it's quiet. This place has plenty of spaces for group to camp. It has play ground for kids. Tracey is very accommodating. I loved her St. Bernard dog. So sweet. Would love to camp there again.

Weekend Trip to Derby Canyon Retreat

A very spacious spot with cool amenities! We unfortunately couldn't get the shower to work, but the thought was nice. Not super private as it's next to a road, so we saw mountain bikers, ATV's, and vehicles passing throughout the day. A LOT of dust. Locating the site would also be easier if the "Derby Canyon Retreat" sign was mentioned. The propane fire pit was a godsend, though!! And it was so nice to be able to wash our hands in the sink. We overall had a great time!
