About Junior Point Campground

Junior Point Campground sits at 6,600 feet in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest with views of Lake Chelan below. The five tent-only sites come with fire rings and picnic tables. Summer access is most reliable, though the narrow, bumpy road requires a capable vehicle. Bugs can be heavy, so bring spray.

Junior Point Campground is designed for tent camping only, with five dedicated sites. It is a simple and rustic campground well-suited for those seeking minimal amenities and a more natural experience.

Trails clear by mid-July and stay open through September. Snow blocks the road earlier and later in the year. Cool evenings make fires welcome even in August. The high elevation means conditions can shift quickly, so pack layers.

ElevationAt 6,600 feet, this campground places you firmly in the mountain ecosystem where the air is crisp, the stars shine brighter, and every breath reminds you that you've left the lowlands far behind. This elevation offers the perfect balance - high enough to escape summer's heat while remaining accessible for most visitors without significant altitude adjustment concerns.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground perches high above Lake Chelan, offering panoramic views across the water and surrounding ridges. At this elevation, the landscape shifts from forested slopes to more open alpine terrain. Light changes throughout the day, warming the peaks at sunrise and casting long shadows by evening. The setting feels remote despite the relatively short distance from the valley below.

Go if

Tent campers with a capable vehicle who want a free, high-elevation perch over Lake Chelan. Trails and mountain biking start right here, nights drop into the 30s even in August, and mid-July through September is your reliable window.

Skip if

No potable water means hauling everything you drink. The bugs are genuinely heavy, and the access road near the top is rough enough to give low-clearance vehicles trouble. Five first-come sites fill fast on summer weekends.
