Bridge Creek Campground — North Cascades National Park

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

North Cascades National Park's Bridge Creek Campground sits along the Stehekin River corridor, accessible only on foot, making it a natural overnight stop for backpackers moving through the southern reaches of the park. Sites are separated by trees, which gives each one some distance from neighbors, and campers can set up directly beside the creek. Designated fire areas and bear boxes are on-site. Midsummer crowds are common since the route passes through here; earlier or later in the season tends to mean fewer people. Those planning a route can browse tent sites near North Cascades National Park to fill out an itinerary. Nearby options include Two Mile Campground — North Cascades National Park to the northwest.

Busy but cozy

If you’re backpacking in the southern part of the North Cascades, you’ll probably wander right through this campground. Because of this, it can get a bit crowded in the middle of summer. But if you go earlier or later in the season, it’s lovely. Designated fire areas, near boxes, and you can camp right next to the creek. It’s only 3 miles from Stehekin so it’s nice for a quick overnight trip.

Gorgeous!

The North Cascades are a must see in Washington. Such a gorgeous drive, beautiful hikes and great places to stay. My husband and I stayed at this campground for a night as we were traveling along the North Cascades Highway, hiking. Our goal was to hike at least 1 hike a day, if not 2. This campground was great, and provided us with a good 1 night stay. It was clean, and not too crowded. The camp spots had the normal, picnic table and fire pit. I liked that the spots weren’t super close to the next person. They were separated by trees which I liked. Privacy is always nice!! Amazing hikes ALL along the highway!! Great, great, great!!
