Lake Chelan
We had a fantastic long weekend at Lake Chelan.
The first night we actually spent in Leavenworth at our first KOA site. It turned out to be kid heaven. There was a pool, a playground, go-karts to rent, and a free 'hayride' for the kids that evening which the boys LOVED.
We are staying at a KOA when we go to California next weekend so we were glad that it was a fun place for the kids! We liked the one in Leavenworth, definitely worth a weekend visit again. The pitch came with it's own BBQ which was useful & there was a short walk down to the gorgeous Wenatchee River too which was spectacular.
At Chelan we stayed in the State Park. The site was really peaceful - just a few Caravans in the trees on the edge of a grassy area which led to the beach and a playground!. Glorious scenery and excellent for the kids.
I really liked Chelan - it was extremely relaxing. The little town was a short pootle in the car and there was also a water park which we visited one afternoon.
On the way home I even had a go at driving the Caravan - gulp! Actually it wasn't scary at all & I switched with G before driving over the mountain pass as the idea of the steep downhill with cliff edge freaked me out, lol.
Anyway - really great break - will definitely go again!
