"I headed to this campground with the intention of grabbing a site, it was around 3pm on a Saturday so I figured I was out of luck and continued on down the road to look for a spot to camp next to the river"
"My site was not so good because it was close to the others (luckily no one was there) it was also next to the Dumpster and the Toilets. Otherwise it was good."
$32 - $96 / night
"The river is only a five minute walk away, and we spent most of one day there. I was very surprised by how quiet it was for only being an hour outside of Seattle."
"The campground was quiet, not too crowded (Sunday - Tuesday) and so close to many trails. A quick walk to the river was a nice way to finish the day."
$32 - $76 / night
"Near enough to Seattle, but feels far away. Yes, there are trains, reserve away from the sites closest to the tracks if that bothers you."
"It’s not a long drive from the city of Seattle. You have the river to play with in the hot summer days and have enough room to play around your site."
"The campground is next to a classy laundromat, and I say classy because it’s probably one of the nicest laundromats in the area that even has a dumpsite for RVs."
"The campground is in 500+ acre Tolt-McDonald Park, far enough away from any busy road so that there is no traffic noise, just the sound of the Tolt River rapids."
$30 - $36 / night
"Although the Camp Ground and facilities are great at Tinkham, my advice would be to get into your lifted Off-Roader and hit the mountain roads for this camping trip of a lifetime!"
"It is a small Forest Service campground next to the south fork of the Snoqualmie river. The site well shaded and fairly privet for the most part."
$32 - $68 / night
"Located about two hours from any significant population base, accessible off of a (mostly) dirt forest service road, you'll marvel at the serenity of this idyllic campground."
"Tip: get your firewood BEFORE turning off highway 2. We were there three days and never saw a host. Drove to multiple campgrounds to see if the host was there and no such luck."
"According to the researchers at the Whale Museum (located in the lighthouse at Limekiln Point SP), the orcas that we saw were the first resident orcas spotted that season!"
"couple miles East of Skykomish, up a paved road, the campsite is just before you go over the bridge on your right and had enough room for high clearance vehicles to pull into it and smaller cars have roadside"
"We really enjoyed our spot off of Old Cascades Highway. There are a few good tent spots that are pretty tucked away."
$50 / night
"Skylomish is a fairly short drive away from the city but towards the mountains. You have a great view of the water in some places and it’s still pretty peaceful and quiet."
"Hike out to Blanca Lake!"
LegendNice folks at check in. A gate code is needed to check in. We had a pull through, gravel site. Utilities were well placed. There was a note not to flush your tank due to there sensitive septic system. There is a nice lake in front of our site. Paths that go to the Yakima river or along side it was nice. Just on the other side of the freeway is the town of Cle Elum. Nice bakeries and breweries is what attracted us. :-)
Clean restrooms, everything well maintained.
ScoutI feel lucky to have gotten to stay here as for the week of the 4th it's booked solid. Great camp sites all with power and water. The showers have great water pressure and hot water. I was kinda disappointed that they aren't a little more private but still got the job done.
GuideQuiet with great views. The site is very sandy so be prepared to be covered in it!
TravelerPros:
- Lots of trees for shade, but open enough to get lots of sun, too.- Flat, sandy soil, good for tents, lots of room.
- Three picnic tables, steel fire pit, bear proof trash cans, 2 clean porta potties are well stocked.
- Right by the river(it's loud, so that might be a con for some).
- You can drive right up to the tent/table area to unload.- Great fishing/swimming hole nearby.
- No trash around, very well kept.
- Beautiful area and river!!
Cons:
- Sandy soil blows around pretty bad if it's windy. Gets in EVERYTHING.
- The gate is kinda hard to unlock because the lock has been abused, needs replacement. Also quite certain the code never changes, so other people could easily get in if they've been there before.
- Porta potties needed emptying.
- Fish in the river are very small, but plentiful.
General comments, suggestions:- Bring fire wood, if fires are allowed- make sure you check before you come.
- Bring a few wasp traps in mid-late summer- BIG black& white hornets, but not too bad early summer.
- Lots of ants, beetles, flying bugs, some mosquitoes, so come prepared.
- Bring buckets for water, and a shovel.
- Good river for fly fishing, but spinners ok too, just harder. COLD water.
- This is bear/cougar country - bring protection.
- Lots of good hiking trails and rock climbing spots nearby.
ScoutWe go to this place every summer. Many people already know the entrance, so nowadays there is a portable toilet available for campers. I recommend downloading the offline map and be prepared to have no cell phone signal. During the day, the view is breathtaking, and at night, the stars complete your stay. Don't expect to have running water, electricity or a shower. Clean up after yourself and take your trash with you because there is no trash can nearby. The coordinates we used for the spot:
47.33285919069752, -121.10736907478774
TravelerThis place is amazing, easy to get into, lots of camping spaces, beautiful views.
There is a lot of garbage, and especially broken glass bottles 😢
Asides from that is great! We have full bars on T-Mobile, and have no neighbors with 300 feet or so.
The entrance is a little tricky, and the “road”s are a little rough when you’re down here.
TravelerJust went out last night to check and see if it was open, Lewis G. is correct. A big gate is up at the end of the road saying "road closed"
LegendThis review, and apparently most other reviews here, are for the south campground. I didn't see a Dyrt record for the north campground, but it should potentially have one as south and north are pretty different. North is more basic and peaceful and rugged, and south is more developed and family friendly. There is direct access to the lake here, with a boat launch. There's a playground, store with snacks and basics, and accessible and gendered restrooms. 20 ft max vehicle length, per sign at campground entrance.
No Discover Pass needed to camp here, but the Discover Pass will get you in for free day use if you aren't camping here.
TravelerWe arrived and the helpful staff was great. Told me about all the fishing spots and that was great. But when we got to the camp ground the lawn was overgrown and the put out also. The playground is fine but I'd say the playground was not sufficient for our kid that is autistic. The paperwork said we would be fined for moving the fire pit, when almost all the other patrons did this, so hopefully no fine there. The grounds are next to a farm, that brings a bad pig poop smell. I don't mind farms, but that is all u smell is poop. Pool wasn't cleaned so it was swim at ur own risk. Finally, the ppl here aren't temporary living, they have permeant campers. Fees for wifi are weird when it's free at the lounge.
