Creekside camp on Bacon Creek on the border of the North Cascades National Park. At the base of some popular hikes, great fishing, hunting, and access to the park.
Currently just a primitive site with gated access. We are working on providing an outhouse, potable water, and fire pit soon. Eventually will have a tiny house.UPDATE (8/27/2024):
Current road conditions have gotten worse with heavy rains. Please only book if you have 4wd and are confident in off road conditions, prepared to self retrieve a stuck vehicle, or arrange for towing if necessary. There is no cell service at the camp, cell service is 3/4 of mile down the road near HWY 20. Currently we recommend only camping by the gate and walking to the river. We cannot be responsible for towing costs and while we have been giving refunds to those who have gotten stuck we cannot continue to be liable for those who don’t know the limitations of their’ vehicles.
Lastly, this is a sensitive ecosystem: PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR TRASH AND PACK A TOILET!
—————
This is a primitive site that has gated access off of National Forest Road 1060 (Bacon Creek). Private access to Bacon Creek. Excellent fishing, hunting, kayaking, hiking, and access to nearby sites like North Cascades National Park, Newhalem, Lake Diablo, Ross Lake etc
The road up is rough but doable in most vehicles. There is no turn around at the campsite except for smaller cars or hatchbacks currently. Back down or back up the hill. Pack it in pack it out. We are constantly working to improve the site and add amenities stay tuned!

A private look at the Cascades and crystal waters. One of the best tent sites I have ever stayed at.

When the river runs through it
16 ft campervan
Arie’s Hipcamp is a hidden gem where the river runs by its side and snowy peaks of the mountains crown a crystal clear sky with their majestic beauty. If you want privacy, a cold plunge in the river pools, a cozy place to spend a night with the sounds of rushing water by you then it is your spot. Bring a fishing pole and rock shoes to enjoy what this property offers to you. The host was very friendly and helpful as well.

Took my family camping here in mid-July of 2024 and it was an incredible experience. We took a Jeep up and had no trouble on the road, but would be very careful in a car with lower clearance. The gate was easy to find and marked well with a sign that could be seen from the road.
The site itself is incredibly clean and well-maintained. We could have turned around at the very end in the Jeep but it was easy enough to back down into and drive out afterward. There is easy access to the water and you are far enough from the road to feel like you are alone. We will definitely be coming back!
