Nineteen Mile Campground

About

Nineteen Mile Campground is a primitive camping destination tucked along the Chiwawa River in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Located at an elevation of 2,570 feet and 22 miles from Lake Wenatchee, this small campground provides a quiet, riverside setting for campers seeking a remote experience. The campground features 4 single sites available on a first-come, first-served basis only. Each site accommodates a maximum of 2 vehicles, with camping limited to either 2 tents or 1 RV and 1 tent per site. Vault toilets are provided, but campers must bring their own drinking water as potable water is not available. Access requires navigating the Chiwawa River Road, with the final 10-mile section consisting of rough gravel and dirt that may not be suitable for low-clearance vehicles or large RVs. The maximum trailer length is 30 feet. On-site payment is available via QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app.
