Best Time to Camp at Graham Harbor Campground

Winter transforms Graham Harbor into a snow-draped wonderland, with historical records showing significant snowfall occurring nearly a third of the time. During these magical months, temperatures typically hover between a crisp 34°F and a mild 41°F, creating perfect conditions for cozy campfire gatherings. While the region experiences its share of overcast days—with clear skies gracing the area only about 15% of the time—the moody atmosphere adds to the dramatic beauty of the landscape. Gentle to moderate winds, rarely exceeding 19 mph, whisper through the surrounding forests, creating nature's own soundtrack for your lakeside retreat.

About Graham Harbor Campground

Nestled along the pristine waters of Lake Chelan, Graham Harbor Campground offers an exclusive boat-in wilderness experience that rewards adventurous souls with unparalleled tranquility. This intimate campground features five thoughtfully spaced campsites, each equipped with sturdy tables and warming fire rings where stories unfold under starlit skies. A floating dock welcomes up to 10 boats, creating a small community of water-bound explorers. The campground's sheltered harbor provides excellent refuge from down-lake winds, though savvy boaters should note that up-lake winds can still make their presence known. Modern conveniences blend seamlessly with the wild setting, including two well-maintained toilets and a protective shelter. For those eager to explore further, a scenic quarter-mile trail winds through the forest, connecting Graham Harbor to its sister site at Graham Harbor Creek Campground.
Graham Harbor Campground offers a rustic camping experience suitable for tent campers and those arriving by boat. There are no reservations, and the campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
