Klipchuck Campground is particularly popular among visitors seeking a "boondocking" experience. With no water or electric hookups available, it offers a true back-to-nature camping adventure. However, during the winter months, guests are encouraged to bring their own firewood, as finding dry wood can be challenging due to frozen and wet conditions.

- "No fees during off-season visits, which is a huge plus. Loved the easy access to hiking trails and the serene surroundings."

Great place to. boondock. No water, when we visit for some reason. No reservations needed, being a mile and half off the highway, made it nice and quiet. Sitting an elevation at about 2,900 ft. Helped with the summer heat. No a/c was needed. Easy access to Early Winters creek, with a few other trails to explore. There was no real mosquito problem to speak of. We will be visiting again.
We went during off season in November. No fees during this time. We has the campground to ourselves. We managed to scrounge for some firewood but it was frozen and wet - would highly suggest bringing your own during the winter months. The bathroom was cleaned and fully stocked with toilet paper. Photos are of the Maple Pass hike near the campground. Beautiful area.
Far too much noise from the highway in my opinion. Even though the road to the campground is over a mile it still runs pretty much parallel to the Hwy, so you're still just across the creek from heavy trucks driving at all hours of the night. Would not come back (maybe in low season it's not that bad when Washington Pass is closed to through traffic)
Great campground off the highway a bit. Clean pit toilets. Unfortunately water spigots were turned off for some reason. Able to get a spot w/out reservation during peak July tourist season.
Decent camp area. The spots have a barricade to prevent trailers from parking near the fire. I hadn’t seen this before. The creek is close by, maybe a 3-4 minute walk. It is small but can be heard while your in tent. Bathrooms are a pit style. Fresh water at taps around the grounds. No camp host was at our spot, don’t forget to pay😉
