About

Peninsula Campground is a dispersed camping area located on the eastern shore of Rimrock Lake in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. At 3,000 feet elevation, the campground offers a scenic lakeside setting surrounded by rugged mountain terrain and conifer forests. The dispersed nature of the campground provides a more primitive camping experience while still offering basic amenities including vault toilets and a boat launch. Rimrock Lake is a popular destination for boating, fishing, swimming, and mountain biking. The lake is open to fishing year-round and supports populations of kokanee and other fish species. The campground's location provides convenient access to both motorized and non-motorized boating opportunities. Sites accommodate both RVs and tents, though this is a more rustic setting without water, hookups, or other developed amenities. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Visitors must physically arrive at the campground to purchase and claim a site. The area sees heavy use during peak season due to its lakeside location and recreational opportunities.
