Free remote RV campground at the north end of Ross Lake in North Cascades accessible via Canada with boating, fishing, and wilderness hiking.
Hozomeen is one of the most remote and unique campgrounds in Washington, reached only via a 39-mile gravel road from Hope, British Columbia, Canada. It sits at the north end of Ross Lake surrounded by dramatic peaks. No fee is charged. Families who make the journey are rewarded with spectacular boating, fishing, and true wilderness solitude.
Hozomeen sits at the remote north end of Ross Lake in North Cascades National Park, accessible only via a 40-mile dirt road from Canada — making it one of the most isolated front-country campgrounds in the national park system. The campground's position at the US-Canada border places it within the Cascades International Wilderness, a transboundary ecosystem where wolf packs, grizzly bears, and caribou move freely across the border without regard to political boundaries. Ross Lake stretches 23 miles through a mountain-flanked reservoir teeming with native rainbow trout and bull trout, surrounded by peaks that see less than a handful of hikers per day even at the height of summer.
Sourced from first-hand visits, park ranger notes, and RV community reports. Updated when conditions change.
