Magnificent park! Sites are at a good distance from each other. Very clean site. Beautiful trees and very close the Apple Capital loop trail. BUT HUGE INCONVENIENCE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD NOISE: First, the Orchard company nearby (just above the campground) makes noise all day and night!! Then you have the traffic noise of the Highway 2. To finish, you have the train passing by!! You get used to it but really wished it was quieter! WEAR EARPLUGS!! To top it off, it was mowing day, so we had the noise of the tractor mowing grass around where we were the whole day (9:00-4:00pm)! read more

The park is kept very clean. The trailer spots are groomed with plenty of tent space. The trailer spots are convenient to the public restrooms/showers. The camp hosts rake and clean up each area after the campers vacate each spot. read more

The park was nice but we didn't realize our American the beautiful pass wouldn't work, just tried using the restroom before we left and the rangers got super aggressive and called backup, kept threatening us with fines and being overall horrible. Really ruined whatever beauty this place had going for it, Wenatchee River county park is much better. read more

This park in my opinion is the best in the state. There are beautiful large sites with green grass and large trees to shade you as you walk the Apple Capital Loop, Trail. There's a swimming area, a boat launch. The Horan natural area and a group camp with plenty of parking. The Park Rangers Jose, Derek and Erik, staff, volunteers are all helpful and super friendly. The park itself is super clean and groomed just like a golf course. There are so many things to do in seeing the area, too many to mention here. We come here every year and have the best time! read more

Wenatchee Confluence State Park - Wenatchee Confluence State Park. What a beautiful, clean Park! Staff and Volunteers work so hard for their guests. - Parks Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

I want to give this park more stars. I really do. It's clean, well maintained and lots of space in between campsites. But the mosquitos...OMG the mosquitos. They were just terrible, and ate us alive. Our best guess as to why they are so bad, is because they are constantly watering the grass. I would prefer dead grass to being part of the nightly buffet. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

Came here from Northern Seattle area for the weekend. The park is well kept and there are lots to do, such as tennis, volleyball, swimming/boating, and playing in the grass. I spent two nights and I will say the bugs are just awful. I kept getting bitten even inside my trailer. Within a 10 minute drive there is a Walmart, Target, Dutch Bros, and plenty of food options. There isn't WiFi but there was service. read more

The park is fine. Nice scenary and all. The bathroom facilities are very clean and well-maintained. Do no camp here though! The mosquitos will eat you alive. I mean I at least got 30 bites in one night despite using bug spray. As soon as you open your car door, they surround you. It's also very close to the town and roads, you will get car noises. It doesn't feel like a nature camping experience. read more

I agree with the other comments about bugs. The mosquitoes were very active in the evening. Probably due to the long green grass. Sewer and electrical hook up. No Wi-Fi. Had great cellular service. Token taking showers. Lovely paved bicycle paths. Felt safe letting the kids bike around by themselves to the the playground. There are two playgrounds in our section. Very close to a great swimming area. Kids had a blast. Soft small pebble sand. The swimming area is marked off with a floating rope. Very close to some great bike trails. We did the one that led to Lincoln Rock. Where they had shaved ice that was delicious. read more

Loved it here!! Great swimming area and a nice Bike loop out of park. Bring bug spray there are mosquitoes but even itchy it's still beautiful, read more

Beautiful park, nice green grass, nice big trees, a picnic table and fire pit, swimming and fishing area, nice customer service. Our spot is big enough for my kids to run around but No WIFI here. Make sure to bring some mosquito repellent and flies swatter. read more

Very large park / camping ground right off the river. It's beautiful. Seems very well kept.

This is where I got many mosquito bites. I even wore a thick black legging. Make sure you lather up on repellent. Grassy area and spread out. NOthing too special about this place but you do need a Discover Pass. read more

This was our second state park in WA and it had the feel of an urban park, because of it's proximity to the small city of Wenatchee, the fact that it was surrounded by small manufacturing plants, it's abundance of ball fields, and the bike trail in the park that toured the city. Consistent with Maryhill State Park, Confluence also had a very nice swim area. Whoever designed these parks must have placed swimming as a high priority activity. Both state parks had dug out protected coves that were free of weeds and current. I suppose that if there wasn't a manmade protected cove in these river parks, then any beginner swimmers would be swept downstream. Either way, if someone wanted to get in a few laps in the middle of the state without having to price check all the indoor pools, there are options. The swim areas are quite big so you wouldn't even have to turn around 40 times like you do in a pool to get a full workout. I imagine that if I jumped in the state park swim areas right now, I would have to catch my breath before I even made it to the other side. The only downside to these swim areas is that, unless you have your wetsuit, it will be a cold swim. read more

Don't book this campground. Just don't. Unless you enjoy having 100's of mosquito bites, it isn't worth it. The beach is fine (get a day pass or use a discover pass) but in the actual campground you will be eaten alive. read more

I've been camping at Wenatchee State Park since I was a kid. We went every year and I had great memories of the place. So when I decided to take Mitchell there for Memorial Day Weekend this year I hoped the place would live up to my memories. It did. The place is wonderful, really an ideal campground for families, kids and just friends who want to hang out together. The sites are close enough together that you have a couple together with friends but far enough apart that you have some privacy. Our site in particular was nice and clean, and the tent pad area had just been leveled off that day. Our site was #43 which had a view of the lake between the trees. We were within a very short walk of 2 different bathrooms, which is also nice. The bathrooms are kept pretty clean (for camping bathrooms) with showers that cost 50 cents for 3 minutes. The lake was really pretty, with a chilling breeze that rolled across it all times day and night. I remember swimming in the lake when I was a kid and I imagine people still do during the summer months. We talked to the ranger who said all the fishing there now is catch and release so we decided to fish elsewhere. The rangers and camp host are very nice. The camp hosts got quite a kick out of Mitchell losing his wedding ring in the bathroom one night and enjoyed giving it back to him and giving him hell about his wife being mad at him. The ranger can provide all kinds of info about fishing and hiking in the area. For kids there is a playground, and areas to play horseshoe and volleyball. Also all the roads are paved (good for bikes) and too twisty for a car to go over 5 MPH. One of my favorite campgrounds! read more

One of the best parks in the entire state, but it could use a few minor improvements. All the other reviews are accurate (use GPS! - mosquitoes getting bad) but there is one recommendation I'd make. Put bench seats in the handicapped showers. -They are designed for wheelchairs, not someone with a broken leg. Beside this one issue, it is a great spot with good 3G cell coverage by all 4 major carriers, but no 4G on Clear, great OTA and dish TV reception and access to nearby stores for DVD/Blu-Ray rentals. read more

The architect of this park was very generous with the space between campsites, and the space for kids to play is outstanding. This campsite is clean, and the people are friendly. The site is beautiful, and it is conveniently located next to everything. The park rangers are very helpful, but they are zealots when it comes to the speed limit throughout the park. I was entertained while talking to a ranger because he became obsessed with cars driving through the camp. He kept uttering, "slow it down, slow it down, slow it down" while cars passed us during our conversation, and I witnessed him pull over a handful of camp patrons. The downside to the camp is the mosquitoes. My kids each had 30+ bites over the two days we stayed. The mosquitoes are terrible all hours of the day. In fact, we conducted a brief quasi research project trying to answer the question, "Do mosquitoes ever sleep?" Our answer is no, not at this park. The mosquitoes will bite morning, noon, and night. We tried Deep Woods Off, the ThermaCELL, and chopsticks. Our conclusion is, when visiting this camp, bring bug shield clothing. These suckers will bite through cotton. They are unrelenting. On the bright side, the continuous buzz in your ear will lull you to sleep...or on the dark side, cause insanity. read more

This park is amazing! We came to Eastern Washington for reliably good weather for June camping. We also wanted flat easy trails for our kids to practice riding their new bikes. The park was highly rated but I was a little doubtful due to the lack of shade and privacy. The park also is on the outside of the city - some of the photos showed views of industrial areas... And every photo showed an entire park of RVs. :-/. In my mind tent camping around RVs usually means lots of generator noise. What I didn't realize is that when every site has water power and sanitary hookups, the whole campground is almost as quiet as tent only parks! No generators. All the RVs have a/c so many people spend most of their time in their campers! The quiet is heavenly! And the views are spectacular. You can't see much of the city from down inside the little dish-like depression the park is in. It's nestled in a valley surrounded by trees and hills. All you really see are the larger foothills surrounding Wenatchee. Very peaceful and you forget that there's a Walmart and Home Depot just a mile or two away. The park is pretty kid friendly! Our kids made a number of friends at the little playground. The big playground is a bike ride away so they spent more time at the little one - and so did Most of the other kids at the park. It was close enough to be able to keep an eye on them from our campsite without having to constantly sit by the playground while they played. The wildlife area was wonderful but I kind of wished we could've ridden bikes through it. It turned out to be a looonnng walk for my 9 & 11 year olds. They were good sports but bored about half way through. For grown ups it's a wonderful little eco system and some amazing bird watching. We also saw a beaver, a couple black tail deer, a skunk (casually and peacefully wandering thru the underbrush). There were tons of osprey, Great Blue Herons and all the usual suspects for that area. Wonderful! We will definitely go back! It was one of our favorite camping experiences of all time! read more

This is a beautiful, very well manicured campground. It is just steps away from the river and just minutes from downtown. Even though this park is so close to downtown, it doesn't feel like it when you are at your camp site. All of the sites are close to the bathrooms and showers. There is a nice paved walking trail and acres, upon acres of grass. Nice balances of shade and sun and nice views of the foothills. A little challenging backing into the back-in spots with longer trailers. Recommend the pull-thru sites if you are hauling 31' or longer. read more

What a beautiful park! An oasis in Wenatchee, if you will. First and foremost- you need a Discover Pass to park here so plan accordingly or just pay the $10/day fee! I saw several cars get tickets ($99!) for not paying the fee. Just do it. There are rangers on patrol at all times. This is a great place to run! There is a well-maintained paved trail to run or bike along the river. The swimming area is pretty nice. I went in the water and it was very cold and refreshing in the 90 degree heat. The water seemed pretty clean. Overall, recommended! Great place for kids and families. Clean restrooms, nicely kept up. I'm a fan and will be back when in the area! read more

This is one of our favorite campgrounds. Glad to have a trailer, air conditioning is helpful if you are not in the water at the height of the heat and you can hide from the mosquitoes if they are out and they do come out. Lots of things to do, ride bikes around a great 10 mile loop, swim, if you have a boat, the access is good, and there is hiking near by. We will be back. read more

Beautiful park with lots of room in camping spaces and in general. We experienced excellent customer service when the spot we were supposed to move to after the first night was still occupied after check-out time. We had contact with the State Park employee at registration, the Park Ranger and the Park Volunteer Host, and everyone did a great job helping us. We observed grounds workers working hard to keep the park looking great. We're going back again! read more

We were looking for a place to stay around Wenatchee and decided to look at this park. It is at the confluence of the Wenatchee and Columbia rivers. There was one non-reservation site available and we took it. It turned out to be a nice campground, with kids play areas and a swimming beach on the Columbia. It was a pleasant place to stay but my wife and daughter were determined to move on to Soap Lake so this was another "one night stand" - and after they made me promise I would stay at one place for more than one night. read more

This park is well-maintained, has wonderful sports opportunities, a lovely swimming area in the Columbia river and is set down on the river's edge. You're right in town and it feels like your in a lovely oasis in the middle of nowhere.... Oh, and they have a wonderful kids playground as well! read more

I will always love this park. Many wonderful memories growing up swimming. However, it's a bummer they had to become a state park, and charge for parking. TIP: Just park at the top of the hill, and walk down. There's plenty of parking on the street. read more

Confluence used to be filled with families and people all out having fun. The park made money, too. Then, the state of Washington decided to start charging - for everything! Now it's a ghost town. Just a few old people in motor homes. The grass is dead and no one goes there anymore. So sad. Thanks government!! read more

Ample space, but it's an artificial campground. They have displays of walking trails with great views of the Columbia and the confluence. But in reality, it's a bunch of long never ending deserted trails with very poor views. On a warm sunny day with kids and elderly with you, don't even try those trails. No wonder this one was the only available campground when we booked for the Fourth of July long weekend. read more

I am a bicycle tourist.. I am staying at the hiker / biker space.. My stay at this park is disappointing.. The cost is $25.00.. The restroom that I have been assigned to is easily 1/8 of a mile away, in the public parking area for the boat ramp.. There is no trash resepticle within eye sight.. No fire pit.. Fresh water for hiker / bikers comes from a faucet at the RV dump station, 2 football field distances from the area, I was told to camp.. When I asked about the rest room and showers that were located somewhat closer to my camping spot, I was told, those facilities were for the campers.. Meaning car and RV campers.. When I asked how much more it cost to have a regular car camping spot nearer the restrooms, with water and electric on site plus a fire pit, I was told $40.00... So I get a spot that is the size of my 3x6 ft. tent and no other amenities for $25.00.. While a car camper gets space for a car, tent, trailer, water, and electricity and a fire pit, for $40.00.. I'm paying $1.00 a square ft.. The car people are paying pennies per square foot.. I don't get it??? But, I'll never stay here again... read more
