Best Time to Camp at Tinkham Campground
Experience the gentle rhythm of North Cascades seasons at Tinkham. Summer brings mild, comfortable days perfect for hiking and fishing, though wise campers pack rain gear for those refreshing Pacific Northwest showers. When winter transforms the landscape into a snowy wonderland, the campground becomes a gateway to exceptional snowshoeing and cross-country skiing adventures through pristine, snow-laden forests.
Summer reviews praise beauty and hiking access; cite crowds and I-90 noise during peak season.
Early fall noted as active season with good hiking and scenery; fewer specifics than summer.
Late spring (after May 16) is open and pleasant, but spring details are limited in description.
Campground is closed off-season; open May 16–Sep 13 per seasonal info.
Planning Tips
- Peak Season: May 16, 2025 - September 13, 2025. Book 2-3 months ahead.
- Operating Season: Open May 16, 2025, through September 13, 2025, with off-season closures.
