Thunder Point Campground — Ross Lake National Recreation Area

Camping in the North Cascades is an unforgettable experience. Near Seattle, WA, the national park is a nature lover’s paradise. It’s also home to some of the best camping in Washington state. Take an early hike from the campground for bird watching — there are more than 200 species in the park. Grey wolves, deer, and squirrels also call the park home, along with elusive wolverines. Hike into the campground and pitch a tent, or stay comfortably in a cabin or yurt. RV drivers can pull up to their campsites. They are only a stroll away from mountain waterfalls, alpine meadows, and stunning glaciers.

The Best Camping Near North Cascades National Park, Washington

This is the closest boat-in site to Hwy20 on Diablo Lake. It is managed by the National Park Service and advanced reservations for backcountry sites are required https://www.nps.gov/noca/planyourvisit/permits.htm

It has a handful of double sites accommodating small groups, one vaulted toilet, no water, no showers and no trash service. There is a dock to land your boat, is is treed but most campsites have some water view. The best is right above the dock and first to fill as the reservation only guarantees a site but does not specify which one.

A short trail takes to the top of Thunder Point for stunning views of the lake and moutains. An amazing campsite!
