Fisher Camp — North Cascades National Park

Fisher Camp is accessible from Highway 20 at the Easy Pass trailhead. The backcountry campground is approximately 6.5 miles west of this access point. Despite its name, Easy Pass involves a challenging hike with significant elevation gain before you descend toward Fisher Creek and the camp. The trail requires good hiking fitness and proper backcountry preparation. Always check current trail conditions with North Cascades National Park before setting out, as seasonal closures may affect access.

Fisher Camp offers basic backcountry facilities. The campground includes a privy toilet, making the wilderness experience a bit more comfortable. Water is available from Fisher Creek, which is located just down the hill from the camping area, though you'll need to filter or treat it. No fire pits are available at this backcountry site, so plan to use a camp stove for cooking. As with most backcountry sites in North Cascades National Park, expect minimal amenities and prepare to pack out all trash.

The best time to visit Fisher Camp is during the summer and early fall months (July through September) when the high country trails in North Cascades National Park are typically free of snow. This timeframe offers the most reliable access and pleasant camping conditions. The wildflower displays are often impressive in July and August, while early fall brings cooler temperatures and changing colors. Always check with the park service before your trip, as early or late season snowfall can affect trail conditions and accessibility.
