The Park
The national park is a huge plot of land set mostly on its side, and has few access roads. Most of the accesses are off highway #20 as horse and back pac trails.
The east side is bounded by the State forests full of DNR camp sites.
Newhalem Wa is the one place that has an interpretation site just west of town, and the goodall camp ground is about 2 miles west from there. it is mostly for smaller rigs and is right on the river.
Next town west is Marblemount with a couple private campgrounds and services. There isn't much from there to Rockport where you'll find Steelhead RV park, and the day use area of Rockport State park. and the 530 highway to Arlington and I-5 to Seattle
Concrete is a small town west of Rockport, that is the entry to the Baker lake recreational area. that is also called the Mount Baker National forest. lots of bike and hiking trails.
highway intersects with I-5 at Burlington where we have all the big box stores and any service you need such as Freight liner M/H services. Camping World. and great restaurants.
To get to the only camp grounds with in the Cascades National Park you must go into Canada to the town of Hope and return to the US on 40 miles of improved gravel road.
That gets you to Lake Ross at the north end. where the US side of the border has several large M/H type camping spots.
