Icicle River RV Resort

Upon arriving to Icicle River Resort we were immediately greeted by a friendly staff member who shared a map and description of feature’s of the resort. She waved over another staff member in a golf cart who led us to our space, & guided us into backing into our space. He even explained cable and internet. Our space was immaculate with woods on one side where we were surprised by mule deer in the evening and morning.

The resort has beautiful Bavarian themed bathrooms/showers and laundry buildings. They have a number of cabins and wide variety of spaces, from riverfront to wooded; with 50 & 30 amp hook-ups. Unfortunately, the resort doesn’t allow tents.

Trash cans are a small walk because they are properly latched to keep out bears, raccoons, etc. Remember to rematch after adding your rubbish.

We have stayed at the KOA which is closer to town but this is nice because it’s off the town and very little cell service.
Also a lot quieter than the KOA.
The campground host works his butt off to make sure the grounds are kept perfect. We will be back for sure!
They claim to have wifi but I was standing next to the “hot spot” and couldn’t get a signal :/

One of the better RV parks we have stayed at, but it is still an RV Park so be ready to be close to your neighbors. First time we were there we were lucky enough to be near a monthly rental that wasn't there so had some privacy on the one side. The second time we were there we had rotating neighbors most of the trip (5 days).

Hookups are good overall, but don't plan on running at/near your max amps without a converter to the next amps up (we are 15, usually hook up to 30 and we had to borrow a 15 to 50 converter from the office to just run our A/C units during the heat wave - 110F outside).

The river end of May was too high to swim, but there is a little spot that my husband got in a bit (too cold for me!). In July when we were back it was then almost too low to swim. We were able to sit with our chairs semi-submerged. Overall the river is beautiful and relaxing when it's not too busy. The RV park is pretty big and the main access to the water can get pretty crowded in the afternoon after check-in. It wasn't hard to walk down the river a bit in July and find a spot to plop our chairs in the water away from people though.

Most of their camp hosts are great, but one of them is quite grumpy when you approach him with anything. It's nice that they are there during check-in to help guide you into your spot.

First of all, on arrival, this place seems like the campground of dreams. The entry and the first several rows of sites are all green and vibrant. They have a greeter who escorts you to your site and helps you park. Made it super helpful and took a lot of stress off of us on arrival.

The sites on the lower portion of the RV park - the ones closer to the river - are much nicer, paved, level, and have grass around them. The upper sites are not necessarily paved or level. When we made the turn up the hill to go to our site, it was kind of a downer. It was gray, dry, and not very pretty. The sad thing is that you look through the trees behind your site (we were at #82) you see this wonderland that you can't access.

The sites are so close together that your picnic table often is located above the sewer hookup for your neighbor's camp site.

Wi-Fi here is worthless, we weren't able to connect to anything. We had to drive to Leavenworth to get any coverage whatsoever. Neither my Verizon, nor my sister's AT&T were able to connect to anything here. Not voice, not text, not anything. So, depending on your wants or needs, that may be good for you. My sister was trying to check in with a client, and was forced to go downtown to get anything done.

Showers were decent, and free. Laundry was fine if you're line-drying your clothes, the driers only blow air. You end up paying for 4 - 6 cycles to get your clothes damp, not wet.

The river adjacent to the park is beautiful and COLD! but oh so beautiful. It's about 5-10 minutes to get downtown in Leavenworth.

This RV park sets the bar for others.

We prefer dispersed or primitive campground camping, but when we need laundry facilities, we opt to stay in an RV park. Icicle River RV Park provided us with everything we needed: laundry, river access, shade, as well as the bonus of the sound of the Icicle River all around.

We did not have reservations, but on a Sunday in July, we were able to secure a nice site in the middle row of the park. We appreciated that the park managers strategically placed campers in sites to maximize space and privacy when possible. We did not have any neighbors both nights of our stay.

The sites that backed up to the river were all reserved ahead of time and were full. We noticed that some were oriented with picnic tables on the left of the parking pad and others with picnic tables to the right. This orientation is nice for motorhomes as they can drive straight into their sites, but it makes for much less privacy with picnic tables right next to one another. Great, though, if you’re in a trailer and traveling with friends in a motorhome.

The facilities were well kept; the flowers throughout were in great shape and beautiful. The grass was lush, and the shade in our site and throughout most of the park was ample.

Laundry was coin operated with two washers and two dryers. There was a jacuzzi—nicely hidden in a gazebo near the front area of the park. Horseshoe pits, a nice sandy beach on the river, super friendly staff, and a relaxing atmosphere definitely exceeded our expectations.

We stayed here for three nights with a last minute reservation. The staff assisted with getting our 23' trailer into a 25' foot space. With our slide out and canopy out we completely filled the site. Our site was so close to the neighboring site that they felt liked shared sites. The campground served the purpose of being a clean and quite place to stay for a few days. I would recommend traveling a few miles further south on Icicle Rd. and staying at one of the Forest Service sites (Recreation.gov).

As far as I’m concerned we had one of the best sites in the park but all were lovely. Our trailer backed up to the Icicle River and listening to the river flowing by was one the most relaxing sounds ever. Sites are great and since they are all back in there is a very knowledgeable man to help you in and he was great. Our site had a nice grassy area behind us and was so nice to pull up our chairs and watch the river meander by. Really nice laundry and showers. WiFi is kind of unreliable. Town is delightful with tons of restaurants and stores to check out. Safeway is right in town also.

The Icicle River RV Park was a great base camp for us while checking out Leavenworth and hitting up a few of the hiking and mounting biking trails in the area.

We were located in site #2 which was near the entrance, hence the lower score for noise.... this wasn't actually bad, but was noticeable. On the plus side however this site also meant we only had neighbours to one side and that was only for one night, giving it a very spacious feel!

The park was full of friendly people, both staff and guests... some who stay for up to 6 months at a time taking in all the goodness the area has to offer.

WIFI was as expected, not great but what we have come to expect from most RV parks.
