Within the Methow Valley, which is a sixty-mile long glacial valley, Winthrop is a haven for anyone with a love for the Pacific Northwest. The valley extends from the town of Pateros to Mazama along the magnificent Methow River.

The campground is located near the base of the North Cascades National Park and within the city limits of the Old West town of Winthrop. Winthrop features restaurants, galleries, museums and shops fashioned in the early Western and mining tradition. For the outdoor enthusiasts, there are multiple biking, hiking, boating, horseback riding, and fishing opportunities within a short drive.
