Where to camp ??   Wapato/Chelan

Need some info on where to camp for fishing Chelan and Wapato lakes.  I made a call to Wapato Lake Campground since I never been there before.  Told the lady I needed a tent site, but I was sleeping in a van with a boat hitched to it.  She said boats aren't allowed near camping areas, would have to unhitch the boat and leave it in the boat launch area  Sad  Sounds like a great place to steal a boat. 
Anyway, never been to this place before, so did I not get the right info, or is there a better place?  Read a post about Kamei, is that what I need ?  Looking to fish Chelan in the AM, and Wapato in the PM.

Thanks for the help.

i know there is a camping area on the west end of wapato and have launched there before.  i think there is a launch on the east side of the lake too as well as another camp ground.

There is a link with contact info for some of the area campgrounds. Lake Chelan State Park might be a good bet. I believe they have ample boat parking. It is on the opposite side of the lake from Wapato, but isn't that hard to get to...

I camped at Wapato Lake resort.  It was ok.  Like the lady said, you have to unhitch the boat and put it at the launch to the right of the campground.  I was about 150 yards away from where I put my boat.  I was a little uncomfortable with that arrangement, so I launched my boat and tied it to a tree right next to my camp site.  The bathrooms were clean, but there was no power outlet at the campsite.  Fortunately I have a 36v system and can go two full days without recharging.  If you can I would reccomend staying at Kamei also.

I was hoping you would reply Mark, since I saw one of your past reports about Kamei.   Thanks.  
So now that I got camping figured out, which Launch is best for Chelan to drop the boat in for the EARLY morning ??    Shocked

I'm going Tuesday night on the 31st and coming back Thursday night and I'll be staying at Kamei.  I can't wait for the lunker smallies you guys have been talking about.
