About Camp Four Campground
Nestled in the heart of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Camp Four Campground offers an intimate riverside retreat along the pristine Chewuch River. This cozy, forested haven sits 18 miles north of the charming town of Winthrop, where paved roads wind through towering evergreens to deliver you to your perfect basecamp. Designed with tent campers and small RV adventurers in mind, each site accommodates vehicles up to 16 feet, creating a more intimate camping experience that larger rigs simply can't access. Here, the sound of the rushing river becomes your soundtrack, and the forest canopy your ceiling.
The campground offers basic camping options mainly for tents, and accommodates smaller vehicles. Trailers are not recommended.
Historical SignificanceCamp Four serves as your gateway to the region's rich outdoor heritage, with direct access to the historic North Twenty Mile Trail #560. This storied path leads intrepid hikers to one of the area's most spectacular historic fire lookouts, where generations of fire watchers once stood sentinel over the vast wilderness. The trail and lookout offer not just breathtaking views, but a tangible connection to the forest service's legacy of wilderness protection and the adventurous spirits who helped preserve these lands for future generations.
Weather and SeasonsFrom late May through October, Camp Four transforms with the seasons, offering distinct adventures for every visit. Early season visitors are greeted by wildflower blooms and rushing snowmelt, while summer brings warm days perfect for river play and cool nights ideal for campfire stories. Autumn paints the surrounding forest in golden hues as crisp mountain air signals the approaching winter. When snow blankets the region from November through April, the campground rests under a peaceful white quilt, with freezing temperatures and limited sunshine creating a winter wonderland accessible only to the most adventurous souls.
ElevationPerched at 2,400 feet above sea level, Camp Four occupies that sweet spot where mountain air stays refreshingly cool without the harsh conditions of higher elevations. This moderate altitude provides the perfect balance – high enough to escape the valley heat, yet low enough to extend your camping season well into autumn. The elevation creates an ideal microclimate where diverse forest ecosystems thrive and wildlife viewing opportunities abound.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a verdant tapestry of old-growth forest where towering conifers create cathedral-like groves along the banks of the crystal-clear Chewuch River. Moss-draped trees filter golden sunlight into ethereal beams, while the river's gentle melody provides a constant, soothing presence. This lush riparian ecosystem supports abundant wildlife, from deer browsing in early morning mist to eagles soaring overhead. The interplay of rushing water, ancient trees, and dappled light creates an enchanting atmosphere that embodies the wild beauty of the North Cascades region.
Geological RegionCamp Four rests within the remarkable Chewuch River valley, a geological masterpiece carved through the eastern slopes of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. This dynamic landscape tells the story of ancient glaciers, volcanic activity, and millennia of erosion that sculpted the dramatic river canyon. The surrounding forest thrives on rich soils deposited over countless centuries, creating the perfect conditions for the towering Douglas firs, ponderosa pines, and western red cedars that define this transitional ecosystem between the wet Cascade slopes and the drier eastern valleys.
