We inquired about moving to another spot at Wenatchee State Park, but all the sites had been booked for the weekend. Not surprised with a weekend forecast of 27 & 29C. No problem. There are also many Forestry Campgrounds in the area. The sites are non-serviced and 'first come first serve'.
Tumwater Forestry
Site #14 - $17, n/s, no Internet, Temp 16C (and rising!)
So, we drove the 17 km down the road to the Tumwater Forestry Campground. Where we had camped four years ago. It was nearly empty when we arrived, but by Friday evening, many of the sites were taken. Although I miss not having power, I love this campground. It is well treed and very private. The sound of the gurgling river running along side us is awesome.

Most of the campers here are tenting. Even though it is warm during the day, it is still getting down to 6C at night. Brrr. I do not envy them. We had our little catalytic heater running all night. Our inside temp of 14C was comfy.
There is a large "River Run Recreational Group" camped here. All have their own Rafts or Pontoon boats. We would have loved to have seen them in action but we weren't sure where they launched or rode to. The Wenatchee River Rapids are mighty powerful in some areas. I'm sure it would have been great fun to see.
Our weekend was pretty laid back. A couple trips around the campgrounds on our bikes, some reading and campfires. Three days with no internet.
