About
Blackpine Lake Campground is a scenic, forested campground located on the north shore of Blackpine Lake within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. At an elevation of 4,100 feet, the campground provides stunning views of the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness peaks. The facility features three distinct camping sections: two areas above the lake with mountain and lake views, and a small tent-only section near the shoreline. The campground offers excellent water recreation opportunities with a boat launch, two floating docks, and an accessible fishing dock. Non-motorized boating, fishing for westslope cutthroat trout, and swimming are popular activities. An accessible interpretive trail provides scenic views of the Sawtooth Mountains. The campground serves as a base for exploring the surrounding wilderness and trail system. Blackpine Lake Campground operates first-come, first-served with no advance reservations. Sites accommodate RVs and trailers up to 30 feet in length. Amenities include vault toilets, hand-pump drinking water, picnic tables, and fire pits at each site. There are no trash services; visitors must pack out all trash. Access is via Forest Service Road 43 from Twisp River Road, approximately 18 miles from Twisp.
