Trade the noise
for still water

Nestled along a quiet stretch of Chelan County, Mitchell Creek Campground offers an escape where the only schedule is the turning of the seasons and the call of wildlife.

A place that
doesn't rush you

Mitchell Creek Campground sits in the high country of Chelan County, where the forest presses close and the creek carries the sound of melting snow all summer long. This isn't a place you pass through. It's a place you arrive at, settle into, and lose track of time.

Whether you're seeking a quiet night under the pines, a base camp for exploring the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, or simply a weekend without screens or schedules — the grounds welcome you as you are.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Spacious, tree-shaded sites with room to spread out. Each pull-through and walk-in spot offers its own sense of seclusion among the firs and cedars.

Words from the grounds

"We came for a long weekend and stayed three nights. The creek sound is the only alarm clock you need. Already planning the fall trip back."
