Granite Creek courses north into the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River, between Russian Butte to the east and Mailbox Peak to the west. The stream surges swiftly through the gorge between those mountains, and the roar of whitewater rapids dominates the valley.

No one is here on a beautiful October long weekend Saturday. I can see why. The reservoir level is way down! Just getting to the water is a challenge. Maybe this was nice years ago but it’s a good ways out from Orfino. Not worth the drive.

We just stayed here for the first time. We were at Boyer Park & Marina, a KOA, Sept. 1-5, 2024. While the campground was full when we pulled in on Sunday, it was almost empty when we woke up Labor Day morning. Even when full, everything was pretty quiet. The beach and walking paths are very nice and close by no matter which spot you're in. Just below the Lower Granite Dam, it's an easy three mile round trip walk on a paved Snake River Trail. I do not recommend making that journey when it's 83 degrees and getting warmer. UGH
The store is great with many clothing options and more. Mike and Monica who run the place are so nice and very helpful. Apparently we really missed out by not taking advantage of the grill and ordering a Smash Burger, which will even be delivered to your campsite.
We will definitely be back.

How much is the tent area from September 15. To 18 morning two people
TravelerTook about an hour to get to our campsite, but was so worth it. Was a creek at the top of a mountain in the middle, I guess hence the name. Local had wondered how we found his special fishing spot. Was a place to swim, but we did not get in. Such a beautiful view and lots of nature to see.

Overall a good and clean stay on the water. Lots of bugs and very dry. Cute little gift shop!

Took my nephews here. The rangers were amazing and full of info that my boys just soaked right up! It really is full of green serene… bathrooms are clean as well as the whole campground.

The management is incompetent. Catherine Thagard is claims policies that are not written and informs customers upon arrival. They threaten you, their male management is racist and aggressive. They bend their "rules" and policies dependent on "who" you are. Most importantly, they treat their employees horribly. Only stay here if you want to fund a racist, masaginistic company that abuses their staff
Guide
Level pull through sites. A little close together if full. Water and Electric. Staff friendly and helpful. Only bathroom open was a bit of a walk. Bathrooms were a rustic motif, clean, Hot showers.
Scout
Clean campground and decent space between neighbors. Didn’t use any of the facilities. No sewer hookups. Would visit again. Lake was low and lots of geese so messes everywhere.
TravelerSuper safe and well organized. A little pricey and you need a reservation. Usually packed. Great for families (large and small), boaters, fishers, and the casual glamper needing a break. Bathrooms and showers were clean and accessible. Very developed campground, so not very outdoorsy. If you need a break from people this may not be for you
GuideMy site was gorgeous, looking out over the lake! The Campground was very clean and quiet. Vault toilet was well maintained. Swimming in the lake at the foot of a mountain was sublime.
Scout
Beautiful view, super friendly staff, and very convenient location. Just a tiny bit off the highway, easy to access pull-through sites, and very affordable! Super clean and well kept.
GuideAttended a motorcycle rally here a couple times. Not really my type of camping.
TravelerMe and some buddies went for a weekend and there was only 1 other couple there the whole time. Super quiet, you feel like you’re alone from the rest of the world. Super relaxed. There’s a toilet on site.
LegendOnly downside is no Verizon coverage and free wifi is junk. But for $3/day you can get decent wifi. Quiet during the weekdays. Gets REALLY busy on weekends. A lot of families with a lot of kids. If you are a curmudgeon you won’t like it on the weekend. We were entertained. Sites are moderately sized. Huge compared to most KOAs. Grass is immaculate and so is swimming beach. Nice paved trail along river.

Our group stayed in the cabin, but hoping to come back for tent camping in warmer months
TravelerI will definitely be back soon, even frozen it was very enjoyable
ScoutThe actual location and grounds are amazing. Right on the Snake river. So much walking and fishing. And swimming. Kayaking. Even cat fishing. The tents sites are very crammed next to each other though. The cabins are cute and small. No bathrooms in them but there are Public bathrooms and showers. Very busy on major holidays in the summer.
GuideEven after the holiday the camping area was very clean.
ScoutWe have tented here several times over the years while motorbike camping, this time was in our 5th with the bikes in garage. We stayed in the Birch Loop with water and hydro hook up. Nice mature shade trees with good clearance. Short walk to a great beach. Staff were great to deal with. Short drive for Costco and such. Great location for a motorbike base camp. So many great roads…especially the Spiral Highway and Snake River. When the jet boats are out playing which seemed mainly on the weekend it could be annoying to some but we really didn't notice it. Birch loop is well shielded from the river by mature trees. Happy Camping. Oh, and don't park on the grass.

100% recommended. Just come and take a look for yourself. Been camping for years this is 100% my favorite. Just remember to reserve ahead. The only downside is there are like a million fies in here, killed like 20 before I went to bed and there’s another 20 in the morning. Make sure your vehicle is offroad the ride is very rough. Don’t bring any trailers, get offline map before coming. Bring a lot of water. No cell service, if you have Starlink, set it up at the south east side of the tower, thats the only place I could get signal.
ScoutMy wife and family were freaked out about the bugs… wanted to boondocks after 1 night. Loud party going folks next to us - nice. Spots away from the river are better shaded.
GuideOverall a nice park. Some things seem to be in disrepair like broken water pumps, branches down everywhere, a lot of sick trees, etc. Nice beach for swimming and launching kayaks. No real view of the water from the campsites but easy access via walking trail. Lewis and Clark center was pretty sparse but the video was interesting. Campers were all very respectful and it was very relaxing. I would camp here again. Site #15 in the A loop definitely had the best view of the water.
RangerMostly RVs at this campsite, 6 tent sites none were taken when we got there. Fairly clean bathrooms with showers. Across the road from Clearwater River. They did overcharge for laundry machines. Waiting to see if that gets corrected.
GuideWe had a wonderful time!! People are so friendly!! Nice shade trees all over, pool was great! Bathrooms where clean!!
GuideExtremely quiet. Very clean restrooms.
