About
Snowberry Bowl Campground sits at 1,950 feet elevation in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, nestled in the forested 25 Mile Creek drainage. The campground provides a peaceful alternative to the busier lakeside areas while maintaining easy access to Lake Chelan and its recreational activities. The campground offers nine sites total: seven single tent sites and two double sites suitable for small groups or RVs up to 25 feet in length. Every site includes a fire ring and picnic table. A covered group shelter containing four picnic tables can be reached via barrier-free trails from both double campsites and is available to all campers on a first-come, first-served basis. This is a primitive campground with vault toilets but no potable water, hookups, or garbage service. Campers must bring their own drinking water and pack out all trash. Fees are $15 per night for single sites and $30 for double sites, with an additional $5 charge for extra vehicles.
