Lucerne Campground

Lucerne Campground is a remote, boat-access-only day-use facility on Lake Chelan's south shore featuring a protected dock basin with capacity for 11 vessels, making it an ideal stopping point for boaters exploring the upper lake.

The site offers vault toilets and a quarter-mile trail connecting to Refrigerator Harbor, though overnight camping is prohibited and a Federal Dock Site Permit ($10/day or $75/season) is required May 1–October 31.

Access is available via personal boat from Twenty-Five Mile Creek State Park (approximately 25 miles) or Chelan (approximately 40 miles), or via commercial ferry services like the Lady of the Lake.
