Information: 1-877-537-2757

Wake up to mountain views and fresh forest air at Chinook Campground, a peaceful, family-friendly escape ideal for paddling, swimming, hiking, and unwinding in the Crown of the Continent.

All campsites require a reservation online, so book ahead. Two upper loops offer roomy trailer and RV sites, while lower lakeside loops provide quieter, tucked-away spots, some with partial lake views. Spacious, treed sites are walking distance to pit toilets and a walking path connects upper loops to the lake.

Enjoy the lake shoreline, non-motorized boat launch, and a scenic trail around the lake. Access to nearby trails make Chinook Campground a perfect base for exploring the Castle region’s diverse landscapes.
