Hells Crossing Campground in WA
U.S. Forest Service allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Split into two distinct sections along the American River, Hells Crossing Campground offers standard and tent-only sites in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The property includes picnic tables, vault toilets, and drinking water, but lacks electrical hookups. Campers have direct access to the river for cold-water swimming, fishing, and whitewater rafting. Located in the Cascade Range, the campground serves as a launching point for exploring nearby destinations like the Boulder Cave National Recreation Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail.
