Best Campgrounds near Index, WA

This is a large are perfect for a group. There is a large firepit in the middle and plenty of trees for those who may opt for hammocks. We found it clean and left it clean.

Rock fire rings and basically nothing else.

Went early April, still quite a bit of snow up there but it was awesome stunning view and amazing time, since I had prepared with the right gear

We got lucky and snagged the very last spot here on a Saturday in late September. It’s a beautiful campground, very peaceful, other campers were quiet and respectful, we were surprised at how quiet the place was despite being completely full. Note that you can check availability online on the day of, but you cannot make same day reservations online. You have to do it in person at the ranger entrance. We got a no-hookup spot for $25, an electric spot would have been $35. Showers are hot and free, and there’s a free dump and potable water fill as well. I read somewhere that for non-campers there’s a $5 fee to dump, but I didn’t confirm that. 

Park hosts sell firewood, sites are level and fairly decently divided from your neighbor. There are many pull through sites (pull along a curve next to your site, not straight pull through). Zero cell reception here for ATT and Verizon, and the cell booster didn’t help. There are trash dumpsters here and blue recycling bins, but they don’t specify what they will accept for recycling. Lots of tree coverage here, solar didn't work well and I’m not sure if Starlink would work.

Nice older park at the base of Mt. Rainier. Water and Electric (50 amp) only. There are several dump stations nearby. Very quiet and low key. It is situated next to a H.S. stadium so the game nights get a little bit loud but really not that bad. Showers are available too.

Great free camping for up to three nights. Just call security (number is on the sign) to register when you arrive. Very nice friendly security staff. Great place to walk your dog. Many great places to eat and of course the casino.

Just a 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 space the road wasn’t too active when we camped overnight even so the sound of the waterfalls drowns it all out. It has Solid fire pit and very lush green forest surroundings.

Stayed 3 months for work, perfect beautiful, CHEEP CHEEP, not too good to be true, just right. All Hook ups included. (Bring your dump tote!) easy easy easy dump station

Lovely treed campground. Large sites!

Glad they reopened this campground - it’s a nice quick escape from the city with plenty of accessible / semi accessible trails nearby. Sites are pretty basic, but have a bear locker.

Have been camping here for years and the camp ground has had things added to it over the years as well. Quite and always a laid back atmosphere. Miss the camp sites that where on the west end of the park that where really close to the river. But still a great place to camp.

I just can’t say enough about this campsite. I wound up staying here 4 to 5 days at a time over the course of two months because I loved it so much. It’s private. The spaces allow you to have a certain level of intimacy. They have bathrooms, water, and gray water dump, the host Marissa is just a complete awesome doll. It’s convenient to drive into because it’s right off the highway and about five minutes or so is the town of Skykomish with an incredible deli library a laundromat and a coffee shop I hope to visit here many more times, but I absolutely love it. Oh and cell reception is pretty good. Best we stayed at. For both Google Fi and, Verizon.

Good place for families that looks to be kept really clean. The spaces are packed in fairly tight with no dividing barriers of trees. Campsite 10 looks to be the best as it has a little canopy tree and is in the corner without obstruction for a view of the Puget Sound. Water and electric hookup, picnic table, fire pit at each site with additional bathroom with a shower for the grounds. There is a ship playground for the kids and beach volleyball court. It is nestled back through an area of homes that back up to sites 1-8.

Nice little spot along the river off Icicle Road…approximately 2 miles west of eight mile campground. Though the water level was low due to the time of the season, this spot still offered the tranquil sound of river flowing over boulders. Doors open on a brisk morning with clear skies made it that much more beautiful.

Really liked the park. Everything was good about it. The only thing for me was that we have a rv, and there is electrical hookups but no water hookups.

Was going to book a stay here but when I called the line was no longer in service and the email address bounced back. Plus $750/night?????

Something’s wrong here

Is this a real place?!?!

Will update the review if we find out this is a real place
