Lake Tyee Size and Location
At over 520 acres and 886 individual RV sites, Lake Tyee is one of Washington’s largest ownership RV resorts. It is located in the North Cascade Range foothills, and four miles north of Concrete, Washington. The level of the 55-acre lake is approximately 900 feet above sea level, and is in the lowest section of a basin, which is surrounded on the northeast and south by slopes cresting 200 to 250 feet above the lake.The majority of individual deeded sites are circles of either 50′ or 60′ in diameter. There are also a number of rectangle size lots of different sizes as well as some pie-shaped lots. All lots should handle the largest RV’s, although some may not be as accessible as others.


Entry and Roads
A gate entry card is required for entry into the resort. Two cards are provided when you purchase a lot. Additional cards are available for a charge.

You will have legal and physical access by conventional automobile to all lots by a private road system. All roads are surfaced with gravel and have a 10-12 foot wearing width. The main stem road is a two-lane road. All secondary roads are one-lane roads consisting of 15 foot rights-of-way. Maintenance is provided by Lake Tyee and is paid for from annual dues. Year-round access is available. Some lots may be restricted in the months of January and February due to a combination of the snow depth and grade, which may make passage difficult for a week or two at a time.


Purchase and Title
When you purchase a lot at Lake Tyee you will receive a statutory warranty deed. Closing is usually 30-45 days from the signing of the contract. Most purchases of resale properties will require the buyer to obtain their own financing. However, there are some cases where owner financing is available. Prior to the closing of your purchase, your Earnest Money deposit will be held in a trust account with the escrow company.
