Summary
Reservations are required, and fees apply. The campground provides pit toilets, potable water, picnic tables, fire rings with grills, and is tent-friendly, though not ideal for large RVs (no hookups available). Nestled in a lush forest setting along the North Fork Nooksack River, it offers a peaceful, wooded vibe perfect for group getaways. Nearby, hikers enjoy easy access to trails like Excelsior Pass and the scenic Mount Baker Highway. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall, when snow has melted and wildflowers and mountain views are at their peak.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
