Moore Point Campground
Closed for overnight camping through December 31, 2026 due to post-fire flooding hazards from the Pioneer Fire. The campground sits on an alluvial fan with potential risk of debris flows. Day use remains permitted. Alternative overnight options include Orchard Camp (dispersed camping above Moore Point) or Meadow Creek Shelter.
About
Moore Point Campground sits on the north shore of Lake Chelan at 1,100 feet elevation within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. This remote boat-in destination offers four established tent sites with ample room for dispersed camping beyond the designated areas. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. The campground also features a picnic shelter, two vault toilets, and a fixed dock capable of holding three boats. Access is by boat only, either via personal watercraft or commercial ferry services including the Lady of the Lake and Stehekin Ferry, which make stops at Moore Point. From Chelan, the campground is approximately 42 miles up the lake, or 24 miles from the Twenty-Five Mile Creek State Park boat launch. A Federal Dock Site Boat Permit is required from May 1 through October 31 for use of the dock ($10/day or $75/season), though campers arriving by ferry or hiking in without using the dock are exempt. The campground provides access to the Lakeshore Trail and serves as a launching point for day hiking and backpacking in the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness. No potable water is available on site; all drinking water must be treated or filtered from nearby sources.
Directions
From Chelan, boat approximately 42 miles up Lake Chelan; campground is on the north shore. Alternatively, from Twenty-Five Mile Creek State Park boat launch, boat approximately 24 miles up lake. Commercial ferry service (Lady of the Lake or Stehekin Ferry) is available with stops at Moore Point.
