Near North Cascades National Park

Within a 60-minute drive from the North Cascades National Park Wilderness Information Center.

Camp Keyser is a wooded 5 acre parcel in the mountains, near mountain loop highway - in the center of everything wonderful in the northern cascade mountains. We have one private cabin and 6 campsites. Tent campers will enjoy the lush landscape of a mature forest with sites along the (seasonal) Thirsty Creek. Nearby (3 minute walk), users can contemplate views of Whitehorse Mountain, Jumbo Mountain, Glacier Peak, and Whitechuck Mountain. This part of the Stillaguamish valley and the adjacent Mountain Loop Highway is known for a great selection of hiking trails, at all skill levels. It is perfect hub for all of your outdoor interests. The trailhead for the summit of Whitehorse Mountain is just a mile away, as is Old Mine Road trail (45 minute hike ending in 2 waterfalls). A 15-20 minute walk takes campers to a swimming hole in the cool Stillaguamish river for a dip or a paddle. Even closer is Whitehorse Regional Trail (great for biking, walking and horseback riding) built on the bed of the former BNSF railroad through the North Stillaguamish River Valley, spanning over 27 miles. The nearly level trail meanders through the valley, rewarding visitors with picturesque, landscape views of forests, farmland, streams and rivers, and mountain vistas. Sites have a generous fire pit and access to a Porta-Potty. For bathing I recommend cool dip in the Stillaguamish River. In season there is also fishing, snowshoeing, concerts at the blue grass festival grounds, a rodeo, and so much more.

Site 2- Trailer/Tent

Lovely Camping Trip!

We absolutely loved camping at Camp Keyser!! The effort and attention poured into this campsite was so lovely to see. There was a campfire area at each section, along with wooden picnic tables. We started a nice fire and sat at the table to eat our dinner. While we were eating, we heard some birds chirping and an owl hooting. It felt like the perfect cozy night immersed in the sounds of nature. Also, the port-a-potty was the most clean one we have ever encountered! (It actually smelled clean!!) This was a lovely campsite and we will definitely return. Highly recommend!!

Site 5- Tent

Clean campsite, felt very secluded and private given how close we actually were to the other sites. Great home base to explore the National Forest

Site 2- Trailer/Tent

Campervan Experience

Site 2 was perfect. Steve let me use the back in gate to get in and out, as opposed to the main gate, to make access super easy. On top of that, the amenities were on point, lists of places to go to in town were helpful, and the camp grounds are absolutely beautiful. Would definitely visit again!

Site 6- Tent

The camp site felt cramped and sure 6 was far too near the portapotty for our taste. We ended up scrapping the whole thing and camping down the road at Squire Creek which had beautiful sites.
