Good Trailer Camp Sites
« on: April 13, 2014, 07:15:11 PM »
Wife and I decided to move from tent camping to a travel trailer, purchased a 23ft Tahoe Lite which we will pick up at the end of this week. We already have some local areas in mind for camping but I am looking for other areas that will be worth traveling to on the eastside as well as west. Our go to tent spot has been Alta Lake for some sun and fishing but would like other good spots we can go to with our trailer, they dont all have to be state parks, private or usfs are ok too. Preferably would like water and electric hookups but wont shy away from dry camp either as I have access to a good generator. Family friendly is a must as we have a 2yr old and wife is currently pregnant, fishing is a plus!! My goal here is to compile a go to list that I can come back to and look there and pick new spots we haven't tried over time. I could sit down and read a book of good state spots but its better to get first hand info with pro's and con's. Thanks!!

We enjoy Sun lakes around mid July. Lots to do and fishing is great. Enjoy your new RV! Note......put your awning down in the evening as the wind does come up fast!

Our all time favorite was Lodge Pole just over the top of Chinook Pass. It is a USPS Camp ground without all the city things just a great place. and on the American River some fish.  :twocents:

One of our faves is Sun Cove Resort out of Tonasket. A great family resort. Full hookups, store, cafe, boat rental, pool and killer fishing.   :tup:

Sun lakes is very, very windy, bring a wind turbine. Liars Cove in Conconully has everything you want. I'm going there this Friday for the weekend to test out the new camper. Fishing, hunting, ATVing.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Tagging this one too.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I was looking at Conconully via state parks site the other day seems like a nice place too!

Keep the ideas coming, I see others have interest as well!!  :tup:

There are maybe 5 resorts and 1 State Park there. It's probably the most friendliest areas in Washington. I've been going there for 35 years and still love it. There is also Forest Circus camping too.

Pine Near campground 'In' Winthrop. Several lakes around offer good fishing. (I'll be fly fishing Big Twin on the holiday) Walk to shops... It's really not camping but is a nice get-away.   Mosquitos are often pretty thick at RiverBend on the Methow but it's a nice campground with all amenities. Chelan state park is nice but if you reserve in advance, Chelan City park is great to take the kids. Very cozy camp/st. park campground just above Chief Joseph dam. Golf near by. Good fishing too. Fish lake.. Lake Wenatchee... Sun Lakes...

Options are endless.
