Whistlin' Pine Ranch Resort

15 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents500 acres · 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 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. We will offer guided horseback rides by the hour on site for the season 2024. Must book in advance. Free Wifi available near the office only.

Henderson Homestead

3 sites · Lodging, Tents50 acres · Chelan, WA
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!

Overview

About

Whether you call it a "mesa," "butte" or "rock," the 800 ft. elevation and 600 acres of Steamboat Rock offers some primo hiking. Thanks to the Ice Age doing some hefty craftwork, the landscape includes tons of columnar, basaltic rock.

Explore 50,000 feet of Banks Lake freshwater shoreline. You can also choose from activities like skiing, ice climbing, horse riding, and more.

Boats are welcome to dock here with dock and boat-in campsites to take advantage of. There is also a variety of standard campsites, full-hookup sites, and cabins along with separate showers and bathrooms. It's rightfully a popular place to be, so always make sure to call at least a month or so in advance to reserve a camping spot.
