About Snowberry Bowl Campground
Overview
The forested drive to this campground is a beautiful visual of a fire resilient ecosystem with views of the surrounding mountains that tower above. Snowberry Bowl is nicely tucked in the 25 Mile Creek Drainage away from the busy town of Chelan but close to the Lake and recreational activities.
There are seven single tent sites and two small group/RV sites, all of which have fire rings and picnic tables. The group/RV sites can accommodate up to a 25-foot trailer. No hook-ups are available at any of the sites. A group shelter containing four picnic tables may be accessed via barrier-free trails near both group/RV sites. The group shelter is available to all campers on a first come/first serve basis. Potable water and dumpsters for garbage service are provided for users of the campground during the open season.
