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.

Beautiful old growth forest with easy access to the creek. It was very quiet and relaxing. Potable Water nearby each campsite. Mosquitos and bugs in large supply this time of year. We tried to utilize the boat ramp to the creek however the ramp area was being monopolized by a commercial outfit of river rafters. Commercial activity within the national and state parks should not be allowed to the exclusion of use by private citizens!

My boyfriend and I loved camping here. The site (#13) was clean, cozy and felt very private. Close to the river so you could hear the water as you fell asleep. We’ll absolutely be back!
