Mt. Margaret Backcountry Camping

Hikers may once again explore trails that lead to sapphire lakes, pinnacle studded ridges and flowered mountain slopes of the Mount Margaret Backcountry. Trails have narrow tread, are steep in places, and can climb over 2,000 feet in elevation. Eight camps can accommodate tent campers at four lakes and four upland locations. Camping permits are required and camping is limited to these campgrounds only.

Maximum group size for camping is four people. Pets and pack stock are prohibited in the Mount Margaret Backcountry. Fires are not allowed, plan to use a camp stove for cooking. Camping permits can be obtained at Monument Headquarters in Amboy, Coldwater Ridge Visitor Center and Cowlitz Valley Ranger Station in Randle.
