Dagger Lake Campground

Dagger Lake Campground offers established hiker and stock campsites near a shallow alpine lake at 5,510 feet elevation in the North Cascades, accessible via the Twisp Pass Trail.

Backcountry permits are required for overnight stays, and the area is popular for fishing and exploration of nearby peaks and passes.

Be prepared for heavy mosquito activity during bug season with repellent and long sleeves, and note that campfires are not allowed at nearby Stiletto Lake.
