Review: Thousand Trails Leavenworth 2024

Site 237 | 8/11 to 8/25/2024 

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Thousand Trails Leavenworth. It is located about 30 minutes north of Leavenworth, Washington. The campground is tucked back in the mountains not far from Lake Wenatchee State Park and lots of the great outdoors. We had some excitement with forest fires in the area, but DNR did a good job of getting them under control in short-order. We loved the campground and would love to return, but the internet access (cellular and Starlink) has very poor to no coverage, so good place to vacation, not really to work remotely.

NOTE: If you are pulling a big rig, access from the North byState Hwy 207 NOT via Chumstick Hwy like Google wants you to.
