About
Atkinson Flat Campground occupies a scenic spot along the Chiwawa River at 2,500 feet elevation in Washington's Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The 11 campsites are dispersed across the floor of a dramatic glacial-carved valley, offering a quiet, primitive camping experience about 20 miles from Fish Lake. This is strictly a first-come, first-served campground with no advance reservations. Sites range from 35 to 100 feet in length. Facilities are minimal: vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. Payment is $22/night for a single site plus $11 for each additional vehicle, payable via the Scan & Pay mobile system. Access requires navigating Forest Road 6200, where the final 5-mile section becomes very rough gravel and dirt. Low-clearance vehicles and large RVs should not attempt this road. The remote location and challenging access keep crowds low but demand self-sufficiency.
Directions
From Leavenworth, take US-2 West for about 15 miles. Turn right onto WA-207 North and travel 4.4 miles. Turn right onto Chiwawa Loop Road and go about 0.5 mile. Stay right onto County Highway 22 and travel 0.8 miles. Take the second left onto Chiwawa River Road/Forest Road 6200 and follow it for about 16 miles. The road becomes rough gravel/dirt at the 11-mile point. The campground is on the left.
