Goodell Creek Campground

Any unreserved sites during peak season become available as same-day, first-come, first-served for one night only and must be claimed in person. Outside peak season, from January through late May and early September through December, all sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Recreational opportunities include fishing in Goodell Creek and the Skagit River, which is the largest river flowing into Puget Sound and provides critical habitat for all Pacific salmon species. A raft and kayak launch at the campground offers river access. Hikers can access several Newhalem area trails via a connecting path to Newhalem Campground. Black bears are active in the area, and all campsites are equipped with bear boxes for storing coolers, cookware, and other odorants. The North Cascades Visitor Center and the town of Newhalem with its general store are both within walking distance.
