ElevationPerched at 1,100 feet above sea level in Lake Chelan's dramatic alpine environment, Moore Point offers the perfect balance of accessibility and mountain atmosphere. This elevation places campers in the sweet spot where lake breezes meet mountain air, creating comfortable conditions for outdoor activities while still providing that coveted high-country feel.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a cove along Lake Chelan, Washington's deepest lake, in a glacier-carved valley at 1,100 feet elevation. Steep hillsides rise from the shoreline, covered in dense coniferous forest that provides natural shade over the sites. The surrounding terrain shows classic signs of glacial geology: polished rock surfaces, exposed faces, and plant communities shaped by the lake's moderating microclimate. The fixed dock juts into clear water suitable for swimming and launching smaller boats.

Geological RegionNestled within the magnificent Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Moore Point occupies a privileged position in the Lake Chelan Valley—a geological masterpiece carved by ancient glaciers over millennia. This remarkable landscape tells a story of ice and time, where massive glaciers once sculpted the dramatic steep-walled valley that now cradles the state's deepest lake. The surrounding terrain showcases classic alpine geology, with exposed rock faces, glacier-polished surfaces, and diverse flora adapted to the unique microclimate created by the lake's moderating influence. Here, visitors camp atop millions of years of Earth's history, where every vista reveals another chapter in the ongoing dialogue between water, rock, and sky.

Scenic ViewsThe campground offers lakeside views of Lake Chelan and its surrounding forested hills.

Go if

Boaters who want flat tent ground right next to their boat will find the fixed dock and four maintained sites hard to beat in summer, especially midweek before the Lady of the Lake ferry crowd arrives.

Skip if

The campground is currently closed due to post-fire flooding risk, there's no potable water on site, and the dock fits maybe three small boats, so larger vessels or groups needing reliable water will need another plan.
