Open year-round, first-come first-served. The access road doubles as a snowmobile route in winter; motorized vehicles cannot reach the lake until late March or early April when the road dries. Camping limited to 7 consecutive days. Fire restrictions typically begin in July.
About
Antilon Lake Campground sits at 2,400 feet in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest near Manson, Washington. This dispersed camping area surrounds a small lake stocked with brown trout and other panfish, open to non-motorized and electric-motor boats only. Swimming is not recommended. The area is free and operates first-come, first-served year-round. Facilities are minimal: vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water, picnic tables, fire rings, or trash service. Campers must bring their own water and pack out all garbage. Small RVs can access the area, though the road becomes rough near the lake and is unsuitable for low-clearance vehicles. During winter and early spring, the access road serves as a groomed snowmobile route connected to the Washington State Snowmobile Sno-Park system. Motorized vehicle access typically resumes in late March or early April once the road dries. Summer conditions are hot and dry, with fire restrictions often enacted in July. Spring and fall offer more pleasant weather but can be crowded.
