About Goodell Creek Campground

Goodell Creek Campground requires reservations during the peak season, from late May through early September of each year.   Important changes to booking windows: To better serve visitors, Goodell Creek Campground will release campsites in two staggered block releases. These block releases will be 6 months in advance and 7 days in advance.  Campsites #1 - #13 are available for reservations 6 months in advance. Campsites #14 - #19 are available for reservations 7 days in advance. Any sites not reserved during the peak season are available same-day as first-come, first-served for 1 night only and can only be claimed in person at the campground.  Goodell Creek Campground is open as first-come, first-served before and after the peak season, from January through late May, and early September through December of each year.    The campground is a small, yet comfortable facility close to the town of Newhalem along the Skagit River. It is surrounded by forests that that can be explored through the area's many hiking trails. The campground has 19 individual campsites. It is private and secluded, yet the town, a visitor center and other amenities are close by.

This site is by the highway so it can get loud. However, during the time I stayed WA 20 was closed beyond a certain point due to forest fires and therefore trucks weren't able to use this highway anyway. That made it quite peaceful at night. Potable water right across and the river is a few feet away. This site is so much nicer than the ones we have up here in Canada.

Our camp site had a great view of the river. Access at the day area was great-sandy beach and lots of space for kids to play.

Site 19 is probably the best camp site in this entire campground for a single family. If you plan on having more than one tent, space will be more limited, but for one tent and one vehicle, this site had the perfect amount of space, and nice spot by the river that is hard to beat. Also, the water tap, and pit house were within 30 yards of the site.

Located in the North Cascades national park, the general location is marvelous. However, the campsite is quite close to Highway 20, which is heavily trafficked by cars, vans and air-braking logging trucks 24/7. Some of the camp sites are farther from the highway, closer to the beautiful river and quieter. Unfortunately the campsite only has pit toilets; no showers or sinks in contrast to nearby Newhalem Creek, which is also farther from the highway. River access is easy and the sunset on the river is a must-see.
