Dry Creek — Ross Lake National Recreation Area

Accessible only by boat, this National Park Service campground sits on the shores of Ross Lake in the North Cascades. Campers must arrange their own watercraft transportation or use the seasonal water taxi service that operates from the Ross Lake Resort. The site provides basic facilities including vault toilets and fire rings, though visitors should pack in all supplies and drinking water.

Ten Mile Island — Ross Lake National Recreation Area lies just half a mile south for those seeking additional boat-in options. The remote location means no cell service and limited ranger contact, making this spot best suited for experienced backcountry campers comfortable with self-sufficient wilderness camping.
