About
Atkinson Flat Campground is located along the scenic Chiwawa River in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, situated on the floor of a large glacial carved valley. The campground features 11 campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis only, with no advance reservations possible. Visitors must physically arrive at the campground to claim a site. Access to the campground requires traveling about 16 miles on Chiwawa River Road (Forest Road 6200), with the final 5 miles being very rough gravel and dirt road that may not be suitable for low clearance vehicles. The campground sits at an elevation of 2,500 feet, approximately 20 miles from Fish Lake. Facilities are minimal, with vault toilets available but no potable water on-site. Each campsite costs $22 per night with an additional $11 fee per extra vehicle. Payment is handled via mobile Scan & Pay system, and visitors are encouraged to download the app before arrival as cell service may be limited. This remote location offers a peaceful camping experience in a beautiful glacial valley setting along the Chiwawa River.
