Grouse Mountain Campground is located on Shady Pass road, 6 miles from where the road turns to dirt. The road is generally in pretty good shape, and it's possible to bring up small rugged camping trailers to this campground. The campground features 4 campsites with fire pits and picnic tables, and they are reasonably spread apart within the campground. There are two pit toilets located near the campsites, and while the campground sits on a ridge off of Grouse Mountain above Lake Chelan, there are not views from the campsites, due to trees and vegetation. However it is possible to hike a small distance through the forest for views of Lake Chelan.

Hiking

Hiking

Grouse Mountain Campground is located within the Twenty Five Mile Creek area, which has a number of interconnected hiking trails. The campground is roughly five miles away from the North Fork 25 Mile Creek trailhead (you pass it on the drive up to the campground) and seven miles away from Crescent Hill Trailhead, which provides access to Devil's Backbone Trail, North Fork 25 Mile Creek and Lake Creek Trail.

Mountain Biking

All the trails in the Twenty Five Mile Creek area are open to mountain bikes, with a mixture of intermediate and expert options, including the Devil's Backbone Trail and North Fork 25 Mile Creek trail. Of note, the Pyramid Mountain Peak Trail (#1441) is the highest mountain biking trail in the state of Washington.

Motorbikes

All the trails in the Twenty Five Mile Creek area are open to motorbikes, with Devil's Backbone and Pot Peak Trail offering challenging terrain and amazing views of Lake Chelan. For less exposed terrain, the forest service road network provides enjoyable riding.

Horseback Riding

The trails in the area are open to horses, and a few of the campsites at Grouse Mountain Campground have room for small trailers.
