Great location with stunning views. It's definitely up there, and the road initially feels a little sketchy, but don't let that scare you. I was easily able to tow a 30ft trailer up no problem, and Chris came right out to assist and asked if I needed anything! Being so high, be prepared for wind, but if you get a night with no wind, the sunset views are amazing! I would definitely stay at these sites again!

We liked this site, it was a gravel road getting here which can be dusty. We were the only campers so it was quiet and we could see the stars. The Outhouse was clean and not smelly. The host greeted us and was friendly and gave us pointers for places to stop in town.

Loved this mountain space, drove down a gravel road through some beautiful farmland before we reached our spot. Set up a tiny fire in the pit and a tent for the night and it was perfect! A little windy, as expected from the top of a scenic mountain, but overall a wonderful experience. Would come again and recommend to anyone looking for a private camping spot to enjoy the views and wind down :) Thanks for the stay

Beautiful views! Nice and flat spot to setup our tent. The ground was hard so we couldn’t put the tent stakes in the ground, but fortunately there was very little wind so it wasn’t an issue. We will definitely try and come back again.

This spot delivered on views, privacy, and relaxation! Stunning and unique. Things to note: Yes - there is a well maintained dirt/gravel road to the campsite, but it's still quite rough so drive slowly & make sure you bring a vehicle that can withstand some rough washboard conditions. Wind - Previous posters mentioned this, but the when the wind kicks up, it's legit. There's no way a fire would have been safe or it be feasible to pitch a tent (the ground is very rocky, so this might be difficult anyway) in these conditions. With this said, the wind died down completely by midnight and it remained totally still the next morning, so I think it's just something to be prepared for. Our campervan provided the provisions we needed in the unexpected conditions, but you may want to bring a contingency plan if you plan to tent camp/rely on an open fire. We didn't have any trouble at all in mosquitos or hornets in mid-July. If you're a photographer - bring your gear. The sunset is stunning, the stars are abundant, and even the rolling fields that travel through to get to the site are beautiful we saw deer prancing through these! Great communication from the host - take his advice and use WAZE. The wayfinding signage is very good.

I got to camp quite a bit later than intended, but Jennifer was there smiling and waiting to greet me! She made sure I didn’t need anything before she went inside for the evening. The view is absolutely stunning, and there’s a very comfortable seating area complete with a dog bed for the fur babies! Enjoyed my stay and will absolutely be back. 10/10 recommend.

I really enjoyed the peace and quiet that Katie's Oasis provided. I sat under the trees in the evening, just watching the GIANT dragonflies dart around, eating the mosquitoes. Katie was very welcoming, and takes a lot of pride in her land. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area. The gravel road was well maintained as well.

Awesome! So many options for how to orient our camper van - had a hard time choosing because all of the views are stunning. Complete privacy. Our stay was super windy - fun for van campers, but I’d worry about a tent! Listen to the host and ignore Google maps’ route in - follow the signs once you hit the area. Such a terrific 2-day secluded getaway.

The view was beautiful! The propane fire place was nice to roast marshmallows, it was quiet and peaceful. It was a perfect get away for my daughter, my dog, and our camper! Plus we got cookies and stickers!!!!!!😍 It’s not a secluded spot, so it was a nice practice spot for new campers!

Absolutely incredible location! If you have a rig larger than 20 feet, I’d be worried. It’s about 8 miles from Waterville & close to Wenatchee & Chelan. There is T-Mobile service too. You are on top of the world!
