Parks and Recreation

Park facilities within Chelan PUD’s park and recreation system are designed and administered specifically to provide safe and enjoyable recreational opportunities for park visitors. To ensure this occurs, the following park rules apply to campers:

Chelan PUD campsites are not intended for residential use. As such, the following shall apply:

• May 1 through Sept. 30 - Campers will be limited to ten (10) consecutive nights after which the campers must vacate the park for three (3) consecutive nights.
• Oct. 1 through April 30 - Campers will be limited to 15 consecutive nights after which the campers must vacate the park for at least three (3) consecutive nights.

In order to afford the public the greatest possible use of Chelan PUD’s parks, providing camping on a fair and equal basis, campsites in those parks will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Campers must immediately establish an occupied campsite following registration. The party registering for a campsite must occupy it each night.

• Campsite Registration: Select a site that is not occupied, place substantial personal property in the site, pay for the site, and post your camping permit. (Substantial personal property is a licensed vehicle, trailer, tent, dining fly, etc., and is a courtesy to other campers to clearly identify the site is occupied. Lawn chairs, tablecloths, coolers, etc., are not considered substantial personal property.)

All camping must be in areas specifically designated and/or marked for that purpose or as directed by the Chelan PUD.

Checkout time is 1 p.m. Remaining in a campsite beyond the established checkout time may subject the occupant to the payment of a late fee equal to an additional camping fee.

The number of tents allowed at each campsite shall be limited to the number that will fit on the designated or developed tent pad as determined by the Chelan PUD.

No person shall take or attempt to take possession of a campsite when it is being occupied by another party, or when informed by Chelan PUD that such site is occupied, or has been taken out of service by the Chelan PUD.

Only one camping party with a maximum of eight (8) people shall be permitted at a campsite, unless otherwise authorized by Chelan PUD.

The number of vehicles occupying a campsite shall be limited to one car or one recreational vehicle. Two additional vehicles without built-in sleeping accommodations may occupy a designated campsite when, in the judgment of Chelan PUD, the constructed facilities so warrant.
