Lightning Creek Boat Campground

Lightning Creek Boat Camp is a boat-in campground on Ross Lake in North Cascades National Park with 5 sites and a boat dock, located 12 miles from Ross Dam.

A backcountry permit is required for camping, and the site offers access to explore the scenic Lightning Creek inlet and surrounding wilderness.

The camp is suitable for motorboat, kayak, or canoe access, though Ross Lake can experience afternoon winds so early morning boating is recommended.
