Juanita Lake Campground sits at over 6,600 feet elevation in a larch-dotted basin accessible via the Purple Creek Trail (8 miles, strenuous) or War Creek Trail (9.

3 miles, moderate), offering separate hiker and stock camps with limited backcountry permits required. Campfires are prohibited—bring a cook stove—and the fragile alpine meadows require hikers to stay on durable surfaces; water is available at the lake outlet.

The remote location provides excellent high-country exploring with connections to multiple trails including Boulder Butte (7,350 ft) and the Chelan Summit Trail, making it ideal for multi-day backpacking trips.
