This forested campground is located near Early Winters Creek, has majestic trees with a stream and good hiking opportunites nearby. Units combinable to accommodate groups.
Located one mile off North Cascades National Scenic Highway 20 on the right side of the highway, nineteen miles northwest of Winthrop.
If there’s a competition for which campground has the cleanest restrooms, this place wins. Hands down. Nice access to the creek as well.
Great campground off the highway a bit. Clean pit toilets. Unfortunately water spigots were turned off for some reason. Able to get a spot w/out reservation during peak July tourist season.
We went during off season in November. No fees during this time. We has the campground to ourselves. We managed to scrounge for some firewood but it was frozen and wet - would highly suggest bringing your own during the winter months. The bathroom was cleaned and fully stocked with toilet paper. Photos are of the Maple Pass hike near the campground. Beautiful area.
Far too much noise from the highway in my opinion. Even though the road to the campground is over a mile it still runs pretty much parallel to the Hwy, so you're still just across the creek from heavy trucks driving at all hours of the night. Would not come back (maybe in low season it's not that bad when Washington Pass is closed to through traffic)
Great place to. boondock. No water, when we visit for some reason. No reservations needed, being a mile and half off the highway, made it nice and quiet. Sitting an elevation at about 2,900 ft. Helped with the summer heat. No a/c was needed. Easy access to Early Winters creek, with a few other trails to explore. There was no real mosquito problem to speak of. We will be visiting again.
