About
Rock Island Campground is situated along Icicle Creek in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, approximately 17 miles from Leavenworth via Icicle Creek Road and Forest Service Road 7609. At an elevation of 2,800 feet, this heavily-used campground spans both sides of Icicle Creek and offers 20 single campsites and 2 double sites available exclusively on a first-come, first-served basis. The campground provides essential amenities including hand-pump drinking water and vault toilets. Each site accommodates a maximum of 2 vehicles, with space for 2 tents or 1 RV and 1 tent per site. Payment can be made via the Recreation.gov mobile app using Scan & Pay, though visitors should download the app before arrival due to limited cellular service in the area. Cash and checks are also accepted. Rock Island serves as an excellent base for outdoor recreation, with the Jack Trout Trailhead located adjacent to the campground providing access to day hiking and backpacking opportunities in the Icicle Creek drainage. The campground operates seasonally and is closed during winter months. Single sites cost $24 per night, double sites $40 per night, with an $11 additional vehicle fee. Interagency Senior and Access pass holders receive a 50% discount on single sites.
