Best Time to Camp at Lincoln Rock State Park

Thanks to the open river corridor, expect plenty of sunshine and that characteristic Eastern Washington breeze that keeps things interesting—especially for windsurfers and kiteboarders. Just remember to pack a wetsuit or be prepared for a bracing dip: the Columbia stays refreshingly cold even during the warmest summer days, which many campers find perfect after a day in the sun.

Spring (Mar-May)

Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.

Best
Summer (Jun-Aug)

Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.

Fall (Sep-Nov)

Beautiful fall colors, cooler temps, quieter campgrounds. Ideal for peaceful trips.

Winter (Dec-Feb)

Off-season, limited services. Check for closures before visiting.

Planning Tips

    About Lincoln Rock State Park

    Nestled on the east bank of the Columbia River near Wenatchee, Lincoln Rock State Park welcomes families to spacious, grass-carpeted campsites shaded by towering mature trees. With direct river access and a park-like setting that feels both polished and natural, it's become a beloved destination for boaters, swimmers, and anyone seeking that perfect blend of water recreation and relaxed camping.
    A developed, family-oriented state park campground with a mix of RV sites, tent areas and cabins located along the Columbia River.
    Weather and SeasonsThanks to the open river corridor, expect plenty of sunshine and that characteristic Eastern Washington breeze that keeps things interesting—especially for windsurfers and kiteboarders.

    Natural Features and SceneryPicture yourself camping along the shimmering Columbia River, where the Rocky Reach reservoir stretches out before you with dramatic basalt hills rising in the distance—a classic Columbia River basin landscape. The campground itself feels like an oasis, with rolling green lawns and generous shade trees leading down to a roped swimming beach where kids splash in the shallows. Whether you're launching your boat from the full-service ramp, tying up at the overnight moorage, or simply watching the water from the dock, you're surrounded by that wide-open river beauty that makes Eastern Washington so distinctive.
