12mi from Chelan · 18 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Pateros, WA

Exquisitely beautiful area formed by melting glaciers forming the "Alta Coulee". The campground is situated at the South end of Alta Lake, opened in 1946 and operated by my Grandparents until 1980, when my father decided to continue operations adding Outfitting and Guide services into the Pasayten and Sawtooth Wilderness areas. Covid put a halt on business for a few years, but we are back and making some gradual upgrades and changes to offer camping and horseback riding experiences again! The lake is 220 acres known to Anglers near and far. Plenty of room for the sunseekers wanting to play in the water on paddle boards, kayaks, jet skis, and water skiing. An 18-hole Golf Course resides at the North end of the lake and white water rafting just a few miles down the hill on the Methow River. Must book horseback riding in advance. We offer free Wi fi to guests near the office only.

Christine’s land was perfect for a quiet getaway. It is on a farm, so you do hear animals from a far distance. It was not annoying whatsoever. Plenty of room for larger tents or even multiple tents. The river access was really nice for sitting next to with a cocktail or early morning coffee. The toilet is a little bit of a walk, but I always bring my own.

Great place with a beautiful view of the Valley, highly recommend staying at this location, I will be returning. The gift bag upon arrival was a real treat. Has lots of cool and interesting things to do while visiting including some treats. The fresh fruit right beside the camp spot was another great treat and nice to have. This is an active farm so take that into consideration when booking. Extremely respectful people that work on the farm that respect peoples privacy, very friendly work force. Would highly recommend this location, only 7 minute drive to amenities and beach areas.

Absolutely amazing spot! We're traveling across the country this summer and this was by far one of the best. We work from the road and Starlink worked great here. We have a 26' travel trailer and it fit perfectly. I can't imagine anything much bigger driving down the narrow dirt roads and getting up the little hill to the spot, but if you can get there, you definitely should. We can't wait to come back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Hipcamp! The site was spacious and very private, with beautifully maintained grounds and direct access to the river—it truly felt like our own little retreat in nature. The location was also perfect, just a short drive to town yet peaceful and secluded. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. One of the highlights of our trip was the 2-hour horseback ride—an unforgettable adventure that the entire family loved! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a serene getaway with great amenities and amazing hosts.

Stayed before thru hiking the enchantments, so didn't enjoy it for long because of needing to leave early the next morning, but it was such a nice campsite I am sure it will be great for an actual camping trip :) I loved how close it was to the freeway so it had that convenience of accessibility but even with that it wasn't loud!

This was a nice spot to camp close to Leavenworth. It was off the highway, but the spot was set back just enough so there was not much noise. It was exactly as described and perfect for campervan camping for a night!!

Weekend Trip to Camp run a muck

Kyle’s spot is rad! Seriously, if you’re going to camp around lake Wenatchee… don’t stay at Nason Creek, the State Park, etc. stay here. Sure, you have to poo in a bucket in nature and bring your own water. Or you could drive 2 mins down the road to the gas station or diner to potty. This spot is worth it. It’s feels super private even though there is a resident on the property a ways away. If you aren’t shy and like to meet new people, say hi to him or invite him over to hang for a min. He was super nice and funny and was a pleasure to have join us for our little karaoke sesh. There were two little kitten rescues that the resident has and they were the sweetest part of staying here. They won’t be kittens forever, but what a treat that was! Frankly, we had a blast and I am so thankful to Kyle for letting us book his spot so late on a Friday evening. He was responsive and helpful when I got a little lost, and super kind. There is a nice table, trees perfectly spaced for a hammock, a fire pit, and even a propane fire pit you can hook up your own propane to. The wind can be a bit strong, and the site is mostly dirt, so don’t plan on wearing all white clothing and make sure you weight your stuff down. Otherwise, have fun and enjoy the privacy so close to the lake and river. You really can’t get that around the area so take advantage of it :) We hope to be back! Thanks again Kyle! P.s - the stars at night were unreal. I’ve never seen anything like it. Enjoy :)

Beautiful and private, we had an incredible time at site #1. We will definitely be back. Note for those towing a trailer there is a turn up a gravel hill that could be a problem for larger rigs. But I had it with a 20 ft trailer no problem and I am brand new to towing.
