We provide wagons in our cart corral area to make it more convenient for the very short walk in. We have a beautiful cedar grove to enjoy for lounging and picnics.

You can also walk the other direction on the trail over a boardwalk and up to the Nooksack river.

We suggest going a quarter mile drive down the road, to the conservation area that includes several nice swimming spots and a couple nice walking trials. Silver Lake is just 3.8 miles away.

We also raise 100% grass-fed and finished cattle utilizing regenerative farming practices.We have a beautiful private mountain view pasture that we can not use to graze the cattle, so we decided to make it available for folks to have a gorgeous private campsite.

Busters on the Sauk

2 sites · RVs, Tents16 acres · Darrington, WA

This place feels like your. in the wilderness, 4G fading in and out, right by the Sauk river, and yet it's still within city limits\. Within walking distance to Darrington. Downhill mt bike park across town 10 minutes away. Skatepark and pump track in town, 5 minutes away. Its basically on the Mt loop highway. Great access to hikes in the area and the the beautiful Sauk River. There is wood to burn for your campfires, Buster is more than happy to deliver that wood ..free of charge! that's a good time as any for a meet-n-greet. If your a star gazer or like looking at the moon with binoculars on clear nights, we've got reduced light pollution right here. there is room to explore the riverfront and find yourself noting the diversity of animal and plants. Buster and Tracy are the owners of this property. They are going to take over hosting their campground. And this land is a many works in the making...A diamond in the rough.!! If you have appreciation for the wilderness , this spot will turn into your next annual getaway. Its within walking distance to town, but has a feeling of seclusion. This property is classed as light industrial, used for industrial purposes and so when you first drive down our driveway it opens up to a scrap pile here, and a car boneyard there. Then the huge shop with an excavator, forklift and evidence of recent use. Fairly amusing. As you make your way down the road, past the shop and residence and start heading down towards the Sauk river, the raw land starts to take over. . The scenery is serene, the birds are singing, The River rushing in the background..

Camping on Ross Lake guide

Overview

Camping at Ross Lake gives new meaning to “getting off the grid”. Tucked deep in the North Cascades of Washington, this reservoir isn’t accessible by car (on the U.S. side, anyway). You can hike in —or, paddle from Diablo Lake up Riprap Creek and portage your boat overland to Ross Lake.

It takes some effort to get in, but the work is well worth the reward. Wake up to views of snow-capped summits at your lakeside campsite. Fish from the shore, or paddle out into the brilliant blue water.

Feel like a walk? The Pacific Northwest Trail and the East Bank Trail are right in your backyard. Hike along the 23-mile lake toward Canada. On the Sourdough Mountain Trail, you can climb high into the Cascades. From there, the views over North Cascades National Park are breathtaking.

There are 19 campgrounds on Ross Lake, each with 1-7 campsites. Whether you choose a boat-in or trail-accessible site, you’ll need to get a backcountry permit. At Ross Lake Resort, you can rent boats and book floating cabins.

Spring, summer, and fall are the best times for camping in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. In the winter, heavy snow causes avalanches and road closures. Due to changing water levels, boating is possible from July through September.
