19 Mile Campground

About

Nineteenmile Campground is a rustic Forest Service campground tucked into the Chiwawa River valley of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The campground provides direct river access for fishing and wading, with 4 single campsites nestled in the forested valley floor. Sites range from 30 to 40 feet in length and accommodate a maximum of 2 tents or 1 RV and 1 tent per site. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with on-site mobile payment via the Recreation.gov Scan & Pay system. Facilities are primitive, with vault toilets available but no potable water. Campers must bring their own drinking water and be prepared for self-sufficient camping. Trailers are limited to 30 feet maximum. Access requires navigating 18.6 miles of Chiwawa River Road (Forest Road 6200) from Chiwawa Loop Road. The final 10-mile section is very rough gravel and dirt, making this campground unsuitable for low-clearance vehicles or large RVs. This remote location rewards those who make the journey with solitude and excellent river access.
