Planning Tips

    About Holden Ballpark Campground

    Just a mile from the remote mountain enclave of Holden Village, this hidden gem offers adventurers a peaceful basecamp in an open meadow embraced by towering peaks. Once a simple field, Holden Ballpark Campground has evolved into a cherished launching point for wilderness explorers seeking to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of the Glacier Peak Wilderness. Here, where Railroad Creek whispers through the valley, campers find themselves at the threshold of some of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular backcountry trails.
    Holden Ballpark Campground provides a primitive camping experience.
    Weather and SeasonsSummer transforms this alpine sanctuary into a sun-drenched paradise with crystalline skies and comfortable temperatures perfect for hiking and stargazing. As autumn arrives, crisp mornings give way to golden afternoons, painting the surrounding peaks in dramatic light. Winter brings a blanket of pristine snow and freezing temperatures, creating a wonderland for experienced cold-weather campers. Spring emerges slowly at this elevation, with snowmelt feeding the creek and wildflowers gradually reclaiming the meadows.
    ElevationPerched at 3,300 feet above sea level, the campground sits in that sweet spot where mountain air feels refreshingly thin but not overwhelming. This elevation places you high enough to escape the summer heat of the valleys below while remaining accessible to hikers of varying abilities. The altitude offers spectacular sunrise views and noticeably cooler evening temperatures that make for comfortable sleeping under the stars.
    Natural Features and SceneryThe campground rests in nature's amphitheater, where the dramatic peaks of the Glacier Peak Wilderness rise like ancient sentinels on all sides. This pristine wilderness area, one of the most remote in the lower 48 states, surrounds you with glacier-carved valleys, cascading waterfalls, and alpine meadows that burst with wildflowers in season. The untamed beauty of this landscape offers endless photographic opportunities and soul-stirring vistas that remind visitors why the North Cascades are often called the American Alps.
    Geological RegionCradled within the Railroad Creek drainage, this campground occupies a fascinating geological crossroads where ancient glaciers once carved their signatures into the landscape. The valley serves as a natural corridor into the heart of the Glacier Peak Wilderness, with Railroad Creek providing both a soothing soundtrack and a vital water source. This dramatic terrain, shaped by volcanic forces and sculpted by ice over millennia, creates a landscape of extraordinary contrasts—from gentle meadows to jagged peaks, all within view of your tent.
