Sites 1, 2, and 3 sell this place, direct creekside position, room to spread out, and cold clear water for wading or fly fishing for feisty rainbow trout. Summer weekends fill fast on first-come-first-served, so aim for an early Friday arrival or come in early September for the s
Forgetting to bring all your drinking water is a real problem here, the on-site supply isn't potable. The vault toilet smell drew repeated complaints, the access road is rough enough to rattle a loaded car, and site poaching is common enough that regulars leave chairs out to hold

<p>This campground is concessionaire operated. It is located at the confluence of Ida Creek and Icicle Creek, 13 miles from Leavenworth, and is wheelchair accessible.</p>
The elevation is 2,600 ft. This sunny little campground stretches along the icy cold Icicle Creek. Most sites are on the creek's banks but a couple are tucked back in the trees and away from the water. Douglas fir and cedar offer some shade while young maples provide limited privacy. Firewood is available for a fee. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
Open May 1 through October 15 - weather dependent Wenatchee National Forest 235
The water system is solar powered.

In Leaveworth, WA, at intersection of US Rt. 2 and Icicle Rd (Leavenworth Nat'l Fish Hatchery), take Icicle Rd. south 13.2 miles to campground on left. NOTE: After 12.5 miles, Icicle Rd. becomes Forest Rt. 76, dirt, single-lane road with washboard surface.
Compare with similar sites, watch availability, and build a packing list — Camp Sage handles all of it.
Summer is the prime window here. Daytime highs reach the upper 70s to mid-80s, with nights cooling into the 40s and 50s. Conditions stay reliably dry, which makes the creekside setup and evening fires easy to enjoy. Weekends draw crowds. Early June or September offer the same weather with fewer neighbors. Winter brings snow from late November through March, turning the campground quiet but inaccessible for most.
Summer is prime: dry, warm days and open campground; reviewers favor summer visits despite high early flows.
Potable water is not available at this site.
