Rainbow Ford Campground

Rainbow Ford Campground is a tiny backcountry camp located along the Rainbow Creek Trail in the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, accessible from Stehekin via the Stehekin Valley Road.

A seasonal bridge crosses Rainbow Creek near the camp, though it is removed during high water periods—do not attempt crossing if water levels are high.

Backcountry permits are required for overnight stays, and the camp serves as a waypoint on the popular Rainbow-McAlester loop backpack route.
