About
Antilon Lake Campground is a dispersed camping area located at 2,400 feet elevation in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest on the Chelan Ranger District. The area accommodates large groups and small RVs, though the end of the road can be rough and may not be suitable for low clearance vehicles. Antilon Lake offers fishing opportunities and allows non-motorized or electric-motor boats, though swimming is not recommended. The camping area operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees required. No campfire rings or picnic tables are provided at the site. A vault toilet is available, but there is no potable water, and visitors must pack out all trash as no garbage services are provided. Fire restrictions typically go into effect in July, making this one of the first areas to close to campfires during summer. Camping is permitted year-round, but winter access is limited as the road becomes a designated snowmobile route from winter through early spring. All other motorized travel is prohibited until the road dries up in late March or early April. A forest order restricts camping to a maximum of 7 consecutive days, prohibits motorized vehicle use off forest roads except snowmobiles, and prohibits firearm discharge within the area.
