About this campground

Johannesburg Camp

Johannesburg Camp, located in Washington’s Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, offers primitive, first-come-first-served dispersed camping with no established campsites, reservations, or fees. There are no toilets, water, or hookups—campers must be fully self-sufficient. Expect a rustic, quiet experience in a forested valley setting beneath the towering North Cascades, near the base of Johannesburg Mountain. Fire rings may be present from previous use, but bring your own grill, water, and pack out all waste. Popular with climbers and hikers, the camp provides access to Cascade Pass and Sahale Arm trails. Best visited from July to September when conditions are clear and snow-free.
