Pacific Northwest - Primitive Tent & RV Campsites
Where the forest
holds you still.
A quiet patch of earth among the evergreens. No outlets. No rush. Just firelight, moss, and the long breath of the trees.
Enter slowlyAbout the land
Rooted where the ravens call.
Rooted Raven Camps are located in the majestic North Cascades. Hand-tended primitive sites on the forest floor next to glacier-fed waters. A peaceful escape within a private, gated wilderness community.
The experience
Unplugged by design.
Everything here asks you to slow down. The land does the rest.

Primitive sites
Level pads, fire rings, and a clear view of the stars. No hookups, no glamping decor, and if you're lucky...no internet connection. Enjoy the simple escape only nature can bestow.

Forest Solitude
Surrounded by Douglas fir, western red cedar and ferns, enveloped by the sound of the rushing waters of the Wild & Scenic Cascade River.

Starry Nights and Slow Mornings
In the evenings follow the glowing embers of your campfire as they rise toward an endless canopy of stars. Wake to the aroma of fresh coffee, the sizzle of breakfast, and another unhurried morning in the forest.

Before you arrive
Questions travelers ask.
What should I bring?
Tent or shelter, sleeping gear, drinking water, food stored in wildlife-safe containers, firewood, and garbage bags to pack it out. Propane firepits can be brought and used during burn bans. Gas stations and stores in Marblemount offer ice, groceries, camping supplies and propane.
Are there bathrooms or running water?
Our tent and RV sites are primitive. A bathroom with flushing toilet and water is a five minute walk from the sites. Non-potable water is available at each site for hand-washing and extinguishing campfires.
How do I get there?
Just over two hours from Seattle or Vancouver, BC. After leaving I-5, enjoy travelling an hour on the North Cascade Highway. Rated one of the most scenic drives in America. The camp is just ten minutes past Marblemount, The Gateway to The American Alps. Detailed directions and gate instructions are shared after booking through Hipcamp. Cell phone coverage is spotty.

Can I bring my dog?
Well-behaved dogs are welcome on leash. Please pick up after your companion and keep them close at night when wildlife is active.
