"Visitor reviews and park descriptions praise Squilchuck as a quiet, forested retreat close to Wenatchee with excellent mountain‑bike trails, good sledding and winter snow activities, plentiful parking, and cooler temperatures than the valley. Feedback is generally positive but sparse, with limited user comments about campground facilities since the park only offers a single group site."

Best Time to Camp at Squilchuck State Park

At 3,200 feet elevation, Squilchuck delivers a welcome 5-10°F temperature drop from the Wenatchee valley below—perfect for escaping summer heat. When winter blankets the park in snow, it transforms into a playground for sledding, snowshoeing, fat biking, and cross-country skiing. Before planning a winter visit, be sure to check for seasonal schedule changes and current weather conditions to make the most of your mountain adventure.

Planning Tips

    About Squilchuck State Park

    Tucked into the forested foothills below Mission Ridge, Squilchuck State Park offers a refreshing mountain escape with a single group campground perfect for gatherings of friends and family. Miles of multi-use trails wind through the forest, while cooler mountain air and excellent winter recreation make this a year-round destination—though you'll need to leave the RV hookups behind.
    The park offers a single reservable group campground (no individual family sites). The group area accepts tents, cars and smaller RVs but has no hookups.
