About this campground
Discover the untamed beauty of North Fork Chewelah Creek, where dispersed camping sites dot the pristine National Forest landscape along a babbling mountain stream. This hidden gem invites adventurers to pitch their tents wherever the creek calls to them, offering endless opportunities for fishing in crystal-clear waters, tracking game through dense forests, exploring scenic trails on foot or horseback, and experiencing the raw wilderness of the Pacific Northwest.
Camping here is dispersed, meaning minimal facilities are available and visitors camp outside designated sites.

Weather and SeasonsExperience four distinct seasons in this mountain paradise, where each time of year paints the landscape with its own unique palette. Winter transforms the forest into a snow-dusted wonderland, with temperatures dancing between 20°F and 33°F, creating perfect conditions for snowshoeing and winter camping. As summer arrives, the canopy opens to reveal brilliant blue skies and golden sunshine, with temperatures climbing to a comfortable 85°F – ideal for creek-side relaxation and warm-weather adventures.

Natural Features and SceneryFollow the melodic North Fork as it winds through a tapestry of low, forested mountains, eventually joining its sister stream, the South Fork, in a confluence that creates the mighty Chewelah Creek. Ancient trees tower overhead, their branches creating a natural cathedral that filters sunlight into dancing patterns on the forest floor. Hidden tributaries branch off like nature's own treasure map, each one teeming with native fish and bordered by lush vegetation that attracts wildlife throughout the seasons.
Geological RegionNestled within the rolling embrace of low wooded mountains, this campground sits at the heart of a dynamic watershed system where the North Fork of Chewelah Creek begins its journey toward the Colville River. The landscape tells a story written in water and stone, where countless tributaries have carved intimate valleys and secret fishing holes through the forested terrain. This geological wonderland creates a natural playground for outdoor enthusiasts, with its varied topography supporting everything from casual creek-side strolls to challenging backcountry adventures.
