"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 - $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."
$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."
"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."
$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!"
"We arrived and only had hammocks to camp in and the two walk up sites did not provides trees to manage our hammocks."
"For the avid hiker & camper, two lakes are available for camping by permit a couple miles past the upper falls."
$32 - $72 / night
"Stopped through here on a trip around the mountain loop. This is in a great location being accessible from the city but near all the great trails in the area."
"This amazing little campground on mountain loop highway has it all."
$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!"
$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."
GuideThe park rangers are so nice and helpful it was like stepping back in time . The spaces are very private and spread out. Everything is clean including the bathrooms. I had a hot shower one day and a luke warm one the next. Watch out for stinging nettles on the paths to the river if wearing shorts. Very painful.
GuideHas a vault toilet and picnic table, first come first served
GuideThere are a ton of really great sites along this road, although most of the drive-in sites will be taken if it’s a busy weekend, so get there early!
GuideAccess road is right off the highway and unpaved, has a TON of holes so I wouldn’t recommend driving down it without good ground clearance. There are a number of established sites where you can pull off the road and drive back into the woods a bit. And I had cell service everywhere!
ScoutBe prepared for mosquitoes. But other than that very clean nice campsite.
ScoutService road with no pull outs on side to set up. Further past pin drop, there is a large field. Will need a high clearance vehicle to get through. There is a dead end on loop, lots of trees down.
TravelerLovely camping area. Easy to find, felt very comfortable.
So many spots up on the water. Not the most privacy due to the open space but plenty of room to distance yourself from others.
TravelerThere are many campsites along NF 70. The campsite we stayed at had a fire ring and was only a short walk from the river. Plenty of spots to pitch a tent. This is a beautiful area but people leave so much trash behind. This is a pack in pack out area so be prepared to take your trash home.
ScoutGreat campground right on the beach. Clean facilities.
