Meadow Creek Campground

Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest

Meadow Creek Campground sits along the Chiwawa River in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, six miles from Fish Lake. The three primitive tent sites offer quiet and creek access, but expect trade-offs: no potable water, no cell service, and rough road conditions that make RVs and trailers a bad idea.
