Of all the public lakefront recreational areas around Chelan, Don Morse Memorial Park is always our…read morego-to place whenever we're in town. Parking will run you $10 (2 hours) or $15 (6 hours). There is also a 24-hr rate, but I can't recall what it is. For the best parking access, utilize the lot adjacent to the Lakeshore RV Park (TIP: If there's a line at the parking lot pay station, or it's out-of-order, you can pay for parking at the Lakeshore RV Park Front Gate). The parking lot can easily fill up by 11 AM or noon on weekends and spring/summer holidays, so keep this in mind when considering the day of the week you'll be visiting and when you plan to arrive. The park's grounds include a skate park, sand volleyball pits, basketball courts, playground, concession stand, grassy areas, restrooms, some tree-shaded spots, picnic tables, good-sized beach and roped-off swimming area. There's also a boat launch and marina (where it's possible to fish). A go-kart track and miniature golf course are situated in-between the marina (south) parking lot and the RV (north) parking lot, but these are privately run businesses. The only negative of Don Morse Memorial Park is the hourly rate (and maybe the capacity) of the parking lot. Despite this, I still think this park deserves a 5-star review--it's just too good in terms of the layout and amenities it offers.

Large beach area and lots of parking. Plus sand volleyball courts. Super fun day with our friends and family. We enjoy it here and can walk to town. Or if staying at Campbell's or camping at park it's walking distance too.

This is a gorgeous state park but I would not recommend this park to go camping at if you're using…read morea tent site- I cannot comment on the rv side. Now with Covid and summer plans being cancelled we figured we'd do something fun as a family and finally go camping since my boys have been begging to go camping for awhile. I checked multiple Pinterest pages on the must-haves for camping, bought a tent from Costco ( even made sure to practice setting it up and taking it down before our trip), got our fishing license and bought some fishing gear for the kids oh and let me not forget my kids were ok with sleeping bags but I also invested in a wait mattress for myself because sleeping on the ground just sounds painful. Pros- -So like I said the camp ground was gorgeous, we had the most amazing view our entire time here. - it was off the beaten path and not too packed. - the campgrounds were kept up and extremely clean. - there was also a roped off area for beginning swimmers. - they offered showers ( though make sure you bring quarters) - designated trash areas as well, and like I said these grounds were really kept up so there was really no trash on the floors. Cons- - bathrooms... ok I probably sound like a snob but the last time I went camping it seemed bathrooms were just a little more enjoyable. Here they literally have unisex stalls with a toilet. And it wasn't just any toilet but more so like a well or a outhouse with peoples pee and poop just festering in it all day til it's cleaned out... so gross and no sink in the bathroom or soap. Thankfully I read up and brought some hand soap - it's extremely windy... like we just moved back to Washington a year ago from Georgia so I felt we definitely had some ptsd from the winds ripping through the campground the last night... all night. It sounded like tornado winds. I couldn't sleep and our last night I really thought our tent would fall down before the night was over. - the lake though beautiful it was ice cold! Make sure to bring life vest because even in the summer heat eastern Washington provides this lake can freeze even a seasoned swimmer - but i think the worst part was the walk! So I haven't went camping since Highschool and I just remember us parking at the campsite and unloading... well that's not the case here. Now they do provide carts for your stuff however you have to park half a mile away and then walk and walk some more. It's hot, windy and for first time campers here it's not well directed of where to walk to for the campsite. However, once you get to the campsite the numbers are marked on the fence. Also, just note to self if this is your first time camping pick a campsite with a smaller number- you'll walk less. This is a fun day trip but I don't think I'd come back to camp.

The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest is a dense Washington forest with extensive networks of…read moretrails and raging rivers. We visited the forest in June when the snow was melting and there were brief rain showers everyday. Most creeks and rivers, especially the Wenatchee River, were overflowing their banks, with river water above the level of green grasses and bushes. The highly variable nature of the rivers made me wonder how difficult it would be for the home owners living just a few feet above their June high water mark. On a Wenatchee River rafting trip, a guide pointed out a high water mark when the river was at record levels during her lifetime. This must've been 10-15 feet above the already high water and would've destroyed many homes. Many of the trails in the National Forest are very long, requiring camping gear to complete the trail. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to complete any of these multiday treks, but I was satisfied with a taste of the trails in the area. The trails were generally quality from the start so I was never worried about only getting in a 3 mile hike if time was limited. Even a 3 mile hike would turn into a good workout because most of the trails had a steep incline. We were essentially stair climbing on many of the trails. It was hard but we also benefited from the incredible views. The views near the Leavenworth area were fruit trees and grapevines on the valley floor, steep pine trees ascending the mountainsides, with snowcapped peaks on the tops of mountains or on mountaintops in the background.

I saw info posted that you can get a permit to cut your own Christmas tree and gather mushrooms out here.

This would've been a 5 star review except one huge issue that could cause hospitalization and…read morelawsuits: The shower water temperature situation in the bathrooms. There is a sign on the door that says no hot water. That's fine, whatever, tent campers get cold showers while paying for full hookups like we did so we could have electricity but we get cold showers because we are sleeping in tents. But this was not the issue. The issue is that the hot water is turned on sometimes... and there is no warning and no way to regulate the temp that comes out of the shower head. For whatever reason the faucet, while turning left and right - effects nothing. Now, if the water coming out was a nice warm 105 to 110 degrees that would be fine. But this was so hot it burned my daughters head and she only had it under the shower for the time it took to turn the water on, scream and move away. So, I went and got my meat thermometer and tested it. 167 degrees Fahrenheit. I highly doubt the legal department at PUD is aware of the water temperature streaming out of that shower head. One more thing about that water. We were told they turned on the hot water because the water for one of the RV'ers wasn't working. What? I'm confused on this tidbit. We also bought an RV space. Why the plain discrimination against tenters who are paying full rates? Why not warm water for all? But please, before that, fix the temperature problem first. If my daughter had been 2 instead of 21 her skin would have blistered and there would've been a hospital trip. Other than the hot water issue the campground is very nice, windy like a tropical storm, but beautiful. Be aware, camping has recently changed to reservation only.
