Pearrygin Lake Campout


Our fourteenth annual NCAS Campout will be held at Pearrygin Lake State Park group camp again this year. Camping in the group camp will be restricted to no more than 30 people (NCAS members prioritized). Field trips, led by leaders familiar with the area, will be scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Campers are free to roam on their own on Thursday and Friday. Reservations are required and will be accepted beginning May 2. NCAS is currently following Washington State guidelines for COVID-19. There is room for people with tents in the group camp, and vans or small pickup toppers are allowed in the parking area. RVs and trailers are not allowed in the group camp or parking area, however reservations may be available in the Pearrygin Lake State Park Campground. Picnic tables and grates are available for cooking (bring your own food) and water and a toilet are on site. A swimming area is also on site to enjoy after a warm day of birding. Showers and full-service bathrooms can be accessed 1 ½ miles away in the main campground. Reservations can also be made for lodging in the Winthrop area for those not wanting to camp. The primary focus of the campout is birds, however there will be time for lounging and enjoying the sunny and clear weather and for visiting. In past years people have brought their musical instruments and we’ve had a sing-along on one of the evenings. Other entertainment is also appreciated! Cost is $10/night for each party. If you have any questions and to register please email or call Steven Harper at sharper@northcascadesaudubon.org or 360-650-9065. Please provide information on your NCAS membership status and number of people in your group.
