Welcome to the Derby Canyon Retreat! Located just 14 miles from Leavenworth, this 6 acre private paradise is entrenched in nature. Enjoy the serene surroundings, natural setting, wooded mountain land, various and beautiful terrain surrounding this site. This site is dedicated to sustainable living and development. Currently available as raw land to setup your camp, we have big plans for summer and fall of 2023. Throughout the coming months we will be installing a well, bio toilet, yurt, woodfire hot tub, and possibly an outdoor pizza oven! In the coming years we plan to build a pond, bring solar power, and create a self sustaining vacation paradise.

Derby Canyon Retreat

Great spot

We left a bit late so arrived at night. Was a bit hard to find, but we got there. Enjoyed the spot. Stars were out, no rain, no mosquitos… just a great night with our tent and propane campfire. It was very private other than a few vehicles passing near by on the road in the morning. We had no cell signal (not even Verizon), which was good… total disconnect. Since we arrived in the dark, we drove through the gate and camped between the cabins under construction. In the morning, we realized we should have turned right down to more camping area. Truthfully, I wouldn’t have if we arrived during the day as it was longer grass (not great camping ground, abandoned boat and old cabin). All in all, a great spot.. truly enjoyed our time!

Private spot close to Leavenworth

Kevin's spot is a perfect location for hikes and visiting Leavenworth. He was super communicative and welcoming. I will definitely stay again if I am in the area!

Different from the pictures

The host was pleasant and helpful, and overall we enjoyed the experience. I am giving a less than perfect review due to the condition of the property. The pictures used to advertise the property are dated, they show two empty fields surrounded by forest. In reality, the main area has both a pump house and a restroom under construction, and the secondary area is occupied by an old camper and a boat. I feel the host should be upfront on what the current condition is, I would not have rented this property had I know what it actually looked like.

Super cute spot! The directions were easy to follow and it is a very pretty area. There is some construction right now as mentioned but it’s going to be great once it’s finished. I’d definitely want to come again and see the finished product:)

Awesome camping near Leavenworth

This was a great place to stay, nice and private. Plenty of space to spread out if you have a good sized group. It's also exciting that the owner is adding more amenities to such a great location. The owner is also expanding the available camping space, which we are looking forward to for next year. We had a group of 8, with three large tents a gazebo and a nice sized kitchen area for cooking. It also accommodated our vehicles easily. This is very close, 20 minutes or so, from Leavenworth. This makes it a wonderful way to add some more activities to your camping trip. The river is fun to tube or paddle board down, and rental equipment is readily available. You can also borrow life jackets from the Leavenworth Outdoor Center.
