Just past Junction, a one mile (1.6 km) side trail drops precipitously to the historic Meadow Cabins, associated with early mining activities, and located at the edge of a large swamp. The main trail drops steadily for 2.6 miles (4.2 km) into the valley through stands of old fire-scarred Douglas-fir and even-aged lodgepole pine. Then, a steep one mile (1.6 km) climb through silver fir forests brings the hiker to Skagit Queen Camp. Just beyond the camp are relics of early 1900s mining development. The water-powered generator ran an air compressor which supplied piped compressed air to drill rigs up Skagit Queen Creek. Look for signs of mining activity further along the trail. Much effort and money was expended before developers abandoned this remote and rugged land.

This is one of my favorite campgrounds for backpacking trip at North Cascades. It is worth hiking all day to the campsite and setting up a tent at the end of the day.
The campground is located ~12 miles from the Colonial campground and has access to the river. While we were there we had met several elks who came for food.
I highly recommend to carry a gun as it is possible to meet black bears and cougars.
