About this campground
Tucked away in the heart of Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Nineteenmile Campground beckons adventurers with its pristine riverside setting along the rushing waters of the Chiwawa River. This tranquil retreat sits just 22 miles from the sparkling shores of Lake Wenatchee, offering the perfect basecamp for those seeking both river serenity and alpine lake adventures. Here, the gentle murmur of flowing water provides nature's soundtrack as you disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with the wild.
Nineteenmile Campground primarily supports traditional camping types. Since it does not require reservations, it is likely geared toward tent and potentially RV campers on a first-come basis. No group camping or alternative accommodations are explicitly mentioned.
Weather and SeasonsWinter transforms Nineteenmile into a snow-draped wonderland, where temperatures hover between a crisp 29°F and 36°F. During peak winter weeks, Mother Nature blankets the landscape with up to 8.78 inches of fresh powder, creating a magical but potentially challenging environment for access. Overcast skies and heavy snowfall paint dramatic scenes perfect for those who embrace the raw beauty of Pacific Northwest winters, though visitors should come prepared for changing conditions and potential road closures.
Natural Features and SceneryThe Chiwawa River serves as the campground's liquid heartline, its crystal-clear waters carving through ancient forests of towering evergreens. Majestic Douglas firs and western hemlocks create a natural cathedral overhead, their branches filtering sunlight into dancing patterns on the forest floor. The surrounding wilderness of Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest extends in all directions, offering endless opportunities to explore moss-covered trails, discover hidden waterfalls, and witness the untamed beauty of the Cascade Range ecosystem.
Geological RegionNestled within the vast expanse of Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, the campground rests in a river valley carved by millennia of flowing water from the Chiwawa River. This corner of the Cascades showcases the raw geological power of glacial activity and volcanic forces that shaped the dramatic landscape, creating the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventures and quiet contemplation alike.
