Purple Point Campground

Purple Point Campground offers a truly unique escape into the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Located in the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, this remote destination is accessible only by boat, plane, or foot, providing a tranquil retreat from the modern world. Nestled at the head of Lake Chelan, the campground is situated just an eight-minute walk from the Stehekin Landing boat dock, placing visitors in the center of one of Washington's most secluded and beautiful landscapes.

The terrain is defined by the rugged beauty of the Stehekin Valley, where the campground sits at an elevation of 1121 feet. The site is well-suited for a variety of visitors, including tent campers and those looking for a basecamp for backcountry adventures. With direct access to local hiking and biking trails, such as the Imus Trail, it serves as an excellent starting point for exploring the surrounding wilderness.

While this is a primitive federal campground with no hookups, it provides essential comforts including flush toilets, showers, and laundry facilities. Each site is equipped with a fire ring and a picnic table, making it a beginner-friendly option for those new to remote camping. Whether you are seeking a quiet weekend or a gateway to the North Cascades, Purple Point provides a memorable wilderness experience.
