About

Blackpine Cr Horsecamp is a horse-friendly campground situated along Blackpine Creek in the Wenatchee River Ranger District of Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Located approximately 19 miles from Leavenworth via Icicle Road (which becomes gravel Forest Road 7600 around mile 13), this campground serves as an excellent base for equestrian adventures in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area. The campground features 10 single sites designed to accommodate horses and riders, with access to popular trails including Icicle Creek Trail #1551, Jack Creek Trail, and Blackjack Ridge Trail #1565 leading up to Bootjack Mountain. Basic amenities include vault toilets and water, making it a comfortable staging area for backcountry trips. Operating on a first-come, first-served basis, the campground is typically open seasonally and closes during winter months due to snow. The remote location along a gravel forest road makes it ideal for those seeking a less-developed camping experience with direct trailhead access. Payment can be made on-site via QR code scanning through the Recreation.gov mobile app where cell service permits.

Directions

From Leavenworth, head southwest on US-2 West for 0.8 mile. Turn left onto Icicle Road and follow for about 18 miles. The road becomes gravel at about mile 13 (now called Forest Road 7600) and crosses Icicle Creek before reaching the campground.
