Early Winters Campground
Reviewed Oct. 29, 2021

Beautiful location along Early Winters Creek

This is a USFS campground located in the Okanagan National Forest along highway 20 or the North Cascades Highway. This is the problem as road noise can be a problem during the summer months. It is one of the last to close when the snow season arrives as it is in a lower location than Klipchuck or Lone Fir further west along the highway.

We have camped here several times the most recent being October 26, 2020 when there was several inches of crusty snow. We stayed in site #2 which was the closest to the vault toilet. We were next to the creek and could hear it all night which was very soothing. We had the entire campground to ourselves and the traffic was light due to snow.

The campground has large pine trees, a standard wooden picnic table and fire pit. Camping was free as the iron ranger had a garbage bag covering it. Campground fee is usually $8.
