41-site NF campground near Lake Wenatchee State Park with flush toilets (rare for NF), 35 ft max RVs, and easy lake access for swimming and boating.
Nason Creek Campground is located at the southeast corner of Lake Wenatchee, adjacent to the state park, with 41 RV-accessible sites for rigs up to 35 feet. Flush toilets — a genuine rarity in the National Forest system — and potable water (handpump, do not attach hoses) make this a comfortable family option. Sixty percent of sites are reservable; the rest are first-come first-served. Lake Wenatchee State Park is 1 mile away for swimming, boating, and showers. Leavenworth's Bavarian village is 19 miles south.
Nason Creek Campground sits in the Stevens Pass corridor where Highway 2 crosses the Cascades, adjacent to the Lake Wenatchee State Park and the confluence of Nason Creek and the lake — a junction that concentrates wildlife in the mixed conifer and riparian habitat. The Nason Creek drainage connects directly to the Glacier Peak Wilderness, and the creek supports one of the upper Wenatchee River's most significant wild steelhead spawning reaches — winter runs that have persisted despite decades of pressure from the Highway 2 corridor. Stevens Pass above the campground marks the boundary between Washington's maritime west-slope forest and the drier interior forest to the east, and the ecological transition is dramatically visible in the drive between Leavenworth and Skykomish.
Practical guidance assembled from current operator maps, park pages, and clearly identified community observations.
Sites near Nason Creek (1–25) are the highlight — pleasant creek sounds and good shade from mature conifers. Lake Wenatchee State Park beach is just 1 mile away on foot — excellent for a swim without needing to drive. Good base for both the Wenatchee National Forest trails and the Wenatchee River corridor. Fills on holiday weekends alongside the adjacent state park.
