Village Services

Leavenworth offers full services, but fuel stations are sparse once you head deep into the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Ensure your tank is full before beginning long mountain drives.

Campground reservations

Enchantments Lottery and Peak Season Lodging Checks

Overnight camping in the Enchantments zones requires a highly competitive lottery permit from May through October; day hiking is currently permitted with a self-issue pass at trailheads. The village itself experiences extreme demand during Oktoberfest and the December Christmas Lighting; lodging should be booked six to twelve months in advance. Always verify the latest permit boundaries and quotas via the Forest Service before travel.
