We spent only one night here before moving on to Pearrygin Lake State Park to attend an Audubon birding campout. Early Winters is much more to our liking than the state park though. Even though this pretty little campground is right off Highway 20, it was surprisingly quiet. Traffic died down at night and, except for a few logging trucks early in the morning, there was very little road noise and most of it was covered by the sounds of rushing Early Winters Creek. There are only a handful of sites on each side of the highway. We stayed on the north side, which has some nice sites along the creek. Amenities include picnic tables, fire grates, and clean vault toilets. I believe there is piped water in the summer, but expect crowds at that time of the year. Camp hosts were friendly and attentive.
The Methow Community Trail can be accessed right from the campground and offers delightful walking and biking. The trail connects to the small community of Mazama and then runs on to the larger town of Winthrop.
We had no cell service with AT&T.

Small, nice place along Early Winter creek. GREAT hiking and biking trails. Clean pit toilets. Some sites can accommodate 30’ rig. No hookups. Weak cell (Verizon)

We were not planning on camping here. We had found a very nice boondocking location at the Goat Creek Sno-park but had an unwanted (human) visitor so felt better moving along. Less than 5 miles west on Hwy 20 we found Early Winters. The hiway splits the campground and the south side was full but luckily we found a huge spot on the north side. Vault toilets, picnic tables and metal fire pit along the creek. Easy access to the MCT which is a crushed gravel bike/hiking trail that is awesome. The road noise was not bad and the rushing water of the creek was lovely to listen too. The $8 nightly fee will be going up to $15 in 2018.
