Campground details
Setting
Purple Point Campground is a walk-in facility located along the road in the remote Stehekin Valley, an eight-minute walk from the Stehekin Landing boat dock. Accessible only by foot, boat, or plane, most sites sit very close to the paved road. Facilities include picnic tables, designated fire rings for campfires, drinking water, flush toilets, and garbage collection. Trailheads for the Imus, Purple Creek, and Lakeshore trails originate near the grounds, while groceries, showers, and laundry are available a short distance away near the landing.
Getting there: There are no roads that connect Stehekin to the rest of Washington. Access is via foot, boat, or plane.
- Limited separation from through roads or other sites here, a 6-site campground with the nearest through road 0.1 miles off.
- Purple Mountain stands 6,012 ft above the map pin, 2.4 miles northeast.
- The Lake Chelan shoreline is 0.1 mi off.
- Mostly tent-only sites, with most of them shaded.
