Beautiful location. Campsites are each tucked into the trees so you’re not right on top of your neighbors. Right next to Ptarmigan Lake Trail. Can’t wait to camp here again.

Camp was great. Hostess was very amicable. I have been coming to Ptarmigan Creek since 1967. The renovations for the trail is exceptional.

Pleasant little campground located on a creek and featuring a trailhead up to Ptarmigan Lake. Some low hanging branches were unavoidable when backing in the small (12' high) camper into the space.

Nice campground. Spaces are small so the larger rigs aren’t there. No cell service in the campground itself. If you need it, Moose Pass is 6 miles up the road.

This is a very nice little campground. It's pretty small, with around 15 campsites. The sites are well separated from each other by trees, and most of the sites had pretty good shade for most of the day. The parking areas all looked to be fairly level. We stayed in site 12, located at the top of a small loop. There was plenty of room to park a vehicle, set up a tent on the right side of the pad, and have good separation between the tent and the fire ring on the left. Site 13, a pull-through site, is across from site 12, which does lessen site 12's privacy a bit. Most of the sites do not have something directly across from them, and are staggered instead. The vault toilets are located beside site 13, so it was a quick and convenient walk from our tent. The toilets (2) were very clean and well-maintained. The campground as a whole was quiet, with everyone observing quiet hours (10 PM to 6 AM), though there is some road noise from the highway during daytime hours, and I did hear a few generators running during the day. After dark/during quiet hours, you can hear Ptarmigan Creek running. All dogs that I saw were controlled and/or on leash, which was nice. The host was onsite at all times, though we did not need to contact them for anything. There is a day use parking lot near the entrance to the campground, with a 7 mile trail leading up to a lake, if you're up for a hike. There is also a small fish viewing area beside the creek. I enjoyed my stay here and will be back!

Quiet, picturesque location. We enjoyed hiking the nearby trail to Ptarmigan Lake and visiting nearby Moose Pass for a warm meal and fresh ground coffee.
