Private campsites & glamping in Winthrop, WA
Winthrop is the Methow Valley's famous western-themed town — boardwalks, false-front shops, and hitching posts — sitting at the sunny east foot of the North Cascades. It is Washington's premier four-season adventure town: 200 km of groomed Nordic ski trails in winter, and hiking, biking, rafting, and climbing in summer. Rolling Huts and Sun Mountain Lodge anchor its glamping scene.
The North Cascades Highway (SR-20) closes in winter, so summer visitors can loop the spectacular Cascade crest drive while winter visitors fly into the valley's snow sports. Book lodging early for the Rhythm & Blues Festival and Balloon Roundup weekends.
