Best Time to Camp at Twenty-Five Mile Creek State Park

Summer transforms this lakeside retreat into a bustling hub of activity, especially on weekends when families and boaters fill the campsites. Be prepared for Lake Chelan's famously spirited evening winds that sweep down the valley—experienced campers stake their tents securely and boaters time their excursions accordingly. Visit during late summer and you'll discover a delicious bonus: wild blackberries ripening along the trails, adding a sweet taste of the Pacific Northwest to your camping experience.

    Natural Features and SceneryPicture yourself waking up to sparkling lake views that stretch toward distant mountains, with the gentle sound of Twenty-Five Mile Creek meandering through the campground. The park's sandy beach and sturdy pier invite you to dive into crystal-clear waters, while shaded grassy areas provide perfect spots for afternoon picnics.
