Weekend Trip to Camp River Run

The property is set up nicely with 2 spots. Site A is the easier set up given the location of the elctrical outlet and ease of backing in the trailer. We had the site to ourselves, so this review is based on that. There is plenty of space for yard games, we played a lot of bocce ball, frisbee, kicked a soccer ball around and hung out by the fire for some serious rounds of Uno. The fire bowl is large and offers a great setting near the river. A Bald Eagle graced our presence hovering over the river which was a cool visual. The outhouse has a heat lamp which is suitable for a cold night and made doing the business more comfortable than expected. A very clean site overall. Only down side is the location is right off the hwy, so raod noise is a thing if that bothers you. Also, do not follow google maps, it will take you down Braeburn Rd way past the site. Turning a trailer around was a challenge. As you pull off the hwy onto Braeburn, the lot is the first left. Way easy to find, I was just stuck to maps, so more of a human error. If you take this spot, you will enjoy it.

The fall foliage is gorgeous this time of year and the river made a beautiful backdrop. Porta potty was clean and had a nice heat lamp. Easy in and out for a 31' RV. A little weird having the owners come and go putting stuff in the shed while there. I wouldn't want to stay here if the other site is booked, they're not private at all. Very well kept, beautiful!

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.

Awesome spot! Really quiet and spacious. We had a minor issue when we arrived but Mariah responded to my message and had it taken care of promptly. We brought our own toilet set-up and my friend was kindly informed by staff that the tasting room bathroom isn’t encouraged for campers. There is an outhouse nearby though. Willow Point is a great place to go for a swim in Lake Chelan and is a 9 min drive from the site.

Very beautiful view from the site, quiet away from roads. Sunrises and sunsets very peaceful. Mariah responsive re finding the spot in the orchards when we arrived. We had no trouble with wind at night as others have mentioned. No mosquitoes but flies were significant at times making us glad to have a screen. Overall a very nice spot and we will surely come back to visit again.

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.

This is the third time we have been to this absolute gem of a paradise!!! if you are looking for romantic views and privacy look no further! This is the perfect location to set up camp. It’s so close to all of the thrills and activities that Chelan and Manson have to offer. The campsite itself was so stunning and romantic featuring views of three different lakes and offering the best sunsets. The outdoor bathrooms were clean and well kept, and it is the perfect distance from the four Lakes winery tasting room, just a short walk or stumble from your cozy camp. It was so beautiful and perfect that my fiancé chose this place to propose to me in the middle of these stunning apple orchards and wine vineyards With the beautiful sun setting in the background we have fallen so in love with this perfect location that we are considering having our wedding here. We will for sure be coming back to this absolute paradise year after year. Mariah and her husband were absolutely fantastic and respond immediately. Anytime, we have any questions you seriously can’t find a better camping spot than this.

The river scenery was beautiful and enjoyable especially during the hot weather. The power hook ups worked well without any issues. The traffic noise was louder than expected but could be due to increased traffic from the fire crews. The entry/ exit of the property was a little tight for a large setup. The lights in the trees and solar lights were a nice addition as well.

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.

Mariah’s campsite is charming and it offered a fantastic view that really made the experience special. The campsite is well-equipped with a clean outhouse, a spigot for water, and even access to power, although we didn’t use it. On the flip side, it does get quite hot with little to no shade, and the area can be a bit dusty. At night, the winds pick up quite strongly, so it’s good to be prepared for that. Overall, the beautiful view and the unique location in a winery definitely make it a memorable experience. Just be ready for the heat and the wind!

Our particular spot was perfect for us. We have a 40' toyhauler and a 25' cab and chassis truck. The spot had enough for that plus our jeep and then some. The views are great. The sound of the river is perfect. The full hook ups are right next to the site.
