About

Lodgepole Campground is located in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in the Northern Cascade Range of Washington, positioned along the American River near milepost 76 on Highway 410. The campground serves as a gateway to pristine wilderness areas and offers multiple recreational opportunities throughout its operating season. The American River adjacent to the campground supports rainbow, brook, and cutthroat trout fishing, while also providing cold water swimming for the adventurous. Several trailheads near the campground access Crow Lake, Swamp Lake, Cougar Valley, and Union Creek trails. The spectacular Pacific Crest Trail passes through the area, and the nearby Goat Rocks Wilderness features remnant peaks of an extinct volcano with Gilbert Peak reaching 8,184 feet. Boulder Cave National Recreation Trail, one of the most popular destinations in the Naches District, offers an accessible path with interpretive signage. The campground accommodates both tent and RV camping with a 20-foot trailer length maximum. Sites include picnic tables and fire pits, with vault toilets and drinking water available from a hand pump. No electrical hookups are provided. Mount Rainier National Park is nearby for exploring glaciers, subalpine ecology, and volcanic landscapes. Elevations in the surrounding forest range from below 1,000 feet to over 9,000 feet, with warm, sunny summer weather transitioning to snowy winter conditions.
