We do not take late comers as we are a farm and are early to bed and early to rise. I'm sorry!
We are the third generation in this location and the great grandparents had the adjoining property. My father was born and died in this house, and I was raised here also. After teaching for 32 years my husband and I inherited the farm from my folks who have since passed. There are no orchards left on the property but we are moving on with a vegetable and flower garden, goats, chickens and a llama. We have a gorgeous view of Lake Chelan but can only offer dry camping at this time. Our area has a multitude of things to do!

Exquisitely beautiful area formed by melting glaciers forming the "Alta Coulee". The campground is situated at the South end of Alta Lake, owned and operated by my grandparents in 1946 until my father took over in 1980 adding commercial Outfitting and Guide services by Sawtooth Outfitters. Covid put a halt on business for a few years, but we have once again opened the gates and are conducting business similar to those of the "Good Ol' Days"! With each new season brings a new opportunity and a small improvement project to continue paving the way into the future of Whistlin' Pine!
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. For the foodies, Chelan is just 30 miles south and Twisp/Winthrop is 40 miles to the North, also abundant with events, wineries, and shopping.
Guided Horseback riding is available onsite, must book in advance. We offer free Wi fi to guests near the office only. Additional information on the website at www.altalakeranch.com.

Stay in a vintage 1966 Road Runner restored trailer just 9 miles from the town of Leavenworth and 5 miles from Plain WA. Our Road Runner is like staying in a tiny cabin out in a field with electricity, water and a comfy double bed. There is an outhouse with a compostable toilet very close by. Enjoy the peace and quiet along with lots of space to explore. There is a creek on the property along with some walking trials and a sheltered seating area for relaxing outdoors.

Two RV sites with power and water hookups located on two and a half acres of beautiful creek-front land within minutes of Leavenworth. The two sites are adjacent to each other so renting both is a great option for large groups.
Let the sound of Peshastin Creek lull you to sleep at night after a long day of fun in the Leavenworth area. Area attractions include tubing, hiking, climbing, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, skiing, and shopping. The campground is a quick 15 minutes from downtown Leavenworth on year-round plowed roads.
Both campsites are complete with water as well as 30A power hookups, and a fire pit. Feel free to take a dip in the creek to cool down!
A port-a-potty is also available for use by guests and is refreshed weekly.

This beautiful spot is on my list of all time favorites! It’s very secluded and the views are stunning. The road in was no problem at all and the site was pretty level. We got lucky because I’m sure it could get pretty windy up there but it wasn’t bad at all. The view over the Columbia with the Cascades in the distance was breathtaking. Highly recommend this Hipcamp! We’ll be back for sure! Many thanks to Hans for sharing this very special spot.

I wanted to take the time to fully say thank you to Liliya. I drove 3 hours.5 hours to the camping site and couldn’t make it up the last leg. It was in no way shape or form her fault. In fact, she graciously took the time out of her day to answer my bazillion questions. She was patient and accommodating to the nth degree.
The reason I couldn’t make it up was none other than my own fault. I had an awd Toyota rav 4 and couldn’t make it up the small portion of mud.
I am the one who asked to camp there during the closed season and it is my onus.
I had to turn back around and head home at midnight and she fully refunded my money.
I did not expect or even ask her to do this.
What an honest and sincere person she truly is.
I drove In the dark so I couldn’t appreciate gods beauty but I can assure you the mountains are breathtaking given I could see them in the dark.
Highly highly recommend her she will not let you down!
