Welcome to the Derby Canyon Retreat! Located just 14 miles from Leavenworth, this 6 acre private paradise is entrenched in nature. Enjoy the serene surroundings, natural setting, wooded mountain land, various and beautiful terrain surrounding this site. As of 6/10/24 this is ONE campsite available for rent. As one site it can accomodate large groups and multiple vehicles. The main area is campsite 1, there is additional parking for overflow and larger trailers on the property, what was previously referred to as campsite 2. Full VIDEO tour available on youtube: https://youtu.be/xdp5w18dzBQ Playlist with various tours, how-to (toilet, well, etc) available here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhj8T6O39E9_dkxgMP-u9pw4IvNYNpbnt Campsite include water on site (boil or filter before drinking!) access to the community outhouse, and outdoor shower with on demand hot water. FIRE BAN on all wood and charcoal, propane firepits located at each campsite, just BYOPropane! This retreat is dedicated to sustainable living and development.

There is a solar powered camera on site which the host uses to monitor weather especially snow levels in the winter as the host does access this site via truck and snowmobile in the winter season. That camera does not store footage and is not viewed in spring and summer seasons.

Campsite 1
This location has a remote, peaceful feel We stayed here on a Friday and Saturday night. The location is remote after a nice drive on a back semi-rugged road. The evenings were peaceful and quite, and the lower part of the road leading to the campsite was busy with bicycles and dirt bikes during the day. Kevin gave amazing written directions and provided videos to make the location easy to find...even for us arriving after dark! There were just two of us on our trip but the spot is great for a larger group.

Great spot
We left a bit late so arrived at night. Was a bit hard to find, but we got there. Enjoyed the spot. Stars were out, no rain, no mosquitos… just a great night with our tent and propane campfire. It was very private other than a few vehicles passing near by on the road in the morning. We had no cell signal (not even Verizon), which was good… total disconnect. Since we arrived in the dark, we drove through the gate and camped between the cabins under construction. In the morning, we realized we should have turned right down to more camping area. Truthfully, I wouldn’t have if we arrived during the day as it was longer grass (not great camping ground, abandoned boat and old cabin). All in all, a great spot.. truly enjoyed our time!

Private spot close to Leavenworth
Kevin's spot is a perfect location for hikes and visiting Leavenworth. He was super communicative and welcoming. I will definitely stay again if I am in the area!

Different from the pictures
The host was pleasant and helpful, and overall we enjoyed the experience. I am giving a less than perfect review due to the condition of the property. The pictures used to advertise the property are dated, they show two empty fields surrounded by forest. In reality, the main area has both a pump house and a restroom under construction, and the secondary area is occupied by an old camper and a boat. I feel the host should be upfront on what the current condition is, I would not have rented this property had I know what it actually looked like.
