I had two weeks to plan a camping trip on the busiest camping weekend of the year: Memorial day. I was pleased when I stumbled upon Snowberry Bowl Campground on the fs.usda website but could find little information about it. Google earth showed a secluded and spread out campground only three miles from Lake Chelan, as we got there it was better than the satellite picture.
We arrived Thursday night and had a choice of almost any site. The campground offered two pit toilets in close radius to the camp sites and potable water (although it was a little sulfury). Just down the road from the campground is pot peak trail head which is a beautiful hike. Falling asleep to the creek noises from 25 mile creek was perfect. The weather was significantly cooler 3 miles up from the lake but still amazing. We ventured down to 25 mile creek campground (3 miles away) for showers and found a cramped, overcrowded campground with no privacy between sites, it made me feel fortunate for the wonderful spot we got. The nearest town was Chelan which was about a 45 minute drive but we were able to pick up some groceries at the 25 mile creek campground grocery store. read more
