Windy Point Campground

Windy Point Campground is situated in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, offering visitors some of the most stunning scenery in the Northern Cascade Range in Washington and easy access to an abundance of recreational activities. In addition to being a prime location for hiking, fishing, hunting, horseback riding and mountain biking in summer and early fall, Windy Point offers excellent skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling during the winter months. Hikers and backpackers are especially fortunate to have access to a variety of spectacular trails near the campground and in the surrounding areas, and designated Wilderness provides thousands of pristine acres of incredible landscapes to enjoy in solitude or with a small group. Whitewater paddling on the Tieton River, near the campground, is also a popular activity. Windy Point offers sites that accommodate both tent and RV camping. Drinking water, picnic tables and vault toilets are available. Stretching north to south from the Canadian border to the Goat Rocks Wilderness, the Okanogan-Wenatchee is a stunning and diverse national forest. High, glaciated alpine peaks tower along the Cascade Crest and lush valleys of old growth forest define its western boundary, while a rugged shrub-steppe country comprises a more arid region at its eastern edge. Elevations range from below 1,000 feet to more than 9,000 feet, and visitors can expect many days of clear, sunny weather in the summer, and winters with clear skies and plenty of snow. Hiking is popular for visitors to the campground: Frost Mountain Lookout Trail, Keenan Meadows Trail and the Grey Rock Trail are all favorites in the area. A historic highlight is Jumpoff Lookout, the last remaining lookout in the Naches Ranger District, and visitors will also enjoy traveling the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, which climbs into the clouds on a 66-mile drive through the Cascade Mountain range, weaving through snow-capped peaks and alpine lakes.
