War Ridge/Backus Mountain Campground

Perched high on a secluded ridgetop near Backus Mountain, War Ridge Campground offers a rare escape from the crowds that flock to riverside sites throughout the park. This intimate retreat features just 8 primitive drive-in sites, each thoughtfully positioned to maximize privacy and immerse you in the surrounding wilderness. As the only campground in the park elevated away from the river valley, War Ridge rewards adventurous campers with cooling mountain breezes, expansive views, and an atmosphere of profound tranquility. While the sites welcome tents, small RVs, and campers under 25 feet, the real luxury here isn't in amenities—it's in the symphony of rustling leaves, distant bird calls, and the kind of deep silence that's increasingly rare in our connected world. Best of all, this hidden gem remains free to those who respect its designated sites and pristine natural setting.
