Summerhill Farm

Summerhill Farm in Chelan, Washington, is a family-owned RV park on a working Chelan Valley farm, three miles up from downtown Chelan and about a five to seven minute drive from the lake. Sites take rigs up to 45 feet, and the Christensen family's agri-tourism orientation gives the property a working-landscape character that the lakefront RV parks below cannot offer. RV sites with electric hookups accommodate rigs to 45 feet, and a dump station is available on site. The access road climbs two hills from town with a couple of sharp turns — 45-foot fifth wheels and big rigs make it regularly, but drivers of low-clearance rigs or those carrying a rear box should take the grade slowly. From downtown Chelan the route runs up Bradley Street past the cemetery and rodeo grounds, roughly two miles, then about a mile further on. On-site facilities are straightforward rather than resort-scale: bathrooms and showers, a dump station, and walking trails through the farm property for guests who want to stretch their legs without driving anywhere. Boat rentals are available on site — a genuine convenience given how much of a Chelan visit happens on the water. Hiking access runs from the property directly. Pets are welcome. Lake Chelan stretches more than 50 miles into the eastern North Cascades and drops to nearly 1,500 feet, making it one of the deepest lakes in North America. Downtown Chelan's public beaches and boat launches are minutes below the farm, kokanee and lake trout sustain a year-round angling community, and the Lake Chelan wine appellation's tasting rooms are spread across the benchlands above the lake. Summerhill Farm operates through the Lake Chelan season, with summer the clear peak for lake recreation and the winery circuit. The spring Blossom Festival covers the benchland orchards in bloom, and the September–October harvest brings crush events across the valley. Reserve ahead for summer holiday weekends, when Chelan-area inventory tightens sharply across every property type.
