Turlo Campground


The Turlo Campground, located in Washington, is a beautiful camping area surrounded by stunning views of Lake Chelan and the mountains. The campground has a total of 40 campsites, all of which are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Nearby points of interest include the Lake Chelan State Park, where visitors can enjoy hiking, swimming, and fishing. There are also several wineries in the area that offer wine tastings and tours.

Amenities at the campground include picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets. However, there is no potable water available, so visitors should bring their own.

An interesting fact about the area is that it was once a popular spot for bootleggers during Prohibition. The steep hills and secluded location made it the perfect place to hide illegal alcohol.

The best time of year to visit Turlo Campground is during the summer months, from June to August, when temperatures are warm and mild, with average highs in the mid-70s°F. Visitors can enjoy the lake and the surrounding area during this time, but should be aware that the campground can get crowded, so it's best to arrive early in the day to secure a spot.
