Closed

Access is severely limited due to storm damage. A closure order affecting the Lucerne dock and Forest Service Road 8301 is in effect from January 29, 2026 through December 31, 2027. Hikers should not plan on accessing or exiting through Holden and the Lucerne boat dock during this period.

About

Holden Ballpark Campground sits in a simple open field nestled within the Railroad Creek drainage, approximately one mile from Holden Village at 3,300 feet elevation. This primitive but established campground provides a starting or ending point for hikers venturing into the Glacier Peak Wilderness, with access to trails including Holden Lake Trail and connections to Lyman Lake. Reaching the campground requires a multi-stage journey with no road access from any direction. From Chelan, visitors take the Lady of the Lake passenger ferry approximately 40 miles uplake to Lucerne Landing. From Lucerne, Holden Village operates a shuttle bus along Forest Service Road 8301 for the final 11 miles to the village area. Shuttle reservations should be made in advance by emailing registrar@holdenvillage.org. The campground offers flush toilets but no potable water; campers must filter or treat water from nearby sources. Wilderness regulations apply as the area borders Glacier Peak Wilderness. There is no camping fee, though ferry and shuttle costs are required for access.

Directions

From Chelan, take the Lady of the Lake passenger ferry approximately 40 miles to Lucerne Landing. From Lucerne, travel 11 miles on Forest Service Road 8301 to Holden Village via the Holden Village shuttle bus. Reserve shuttle space in advance by emailing registrar@holdenvillage.org. Suggested shuttle donation is $10 one-way or $15 round-trip.
