"My family stayed here for a night when we went out to Washington a few months ago. It was a nice little place."
"Pay showers ($1 for 3 minutes) and clean restroom with air dryer, pet friendly, lots of trails to hike and a beautiful beach area with a playground, seasonal/weekend snack shop, outdoor shower by the beach"

"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."

"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."
"If you can look past the rundown bathrooms and strict rules about dogs and everything else you’re doing then you can appreciate the beauty of Lake Sawyer every morning."
$48 - $60 / night
"Cute campground very close to Seattle and Bellevue right on the lake. Beautiful beach area, basketball courts, playground, and volleyball right at the site. Spots are a little tight."
"Close to the city, gorgeous lake.."
"It’s in the heart of Issaquah and close to every kind of service, shopping and even nature you could want."
ScoutWe spent 1 night at Elkamp and were sad to have to move on so quickly. It would be a great base for exploring the south side of Mt. Rainier as it is within minutes of the Nisquilly entrance. The majority of the campsites were amid tall trees. Site G was more in the open with less shade; however it was situated next to a gentle creek. Elkamp was very clean with the nicest campground bathrooms we have ever experienced. The shower is coin-operated so bring quarters if you wish to use. Would definitely stay at Elkamp again if we were to return to the area in the future.
ScoutThis was a beautiful pet friendly camp site showers water to play in animal friendly all around beautiful and amazing
GuideVery loud children on a Thursday night, but the campsites are cute and well maintained, all have a firepit, bathrooms close to everything. Bathrooms are smelly but clean. It is roughly $40 for a night tho. Recommend the lower #ed side of the campground.
TravelerHard to find the turnoff 410. Tiny dirt road leads to the river. Spots are close to each other. No T-Mobile service.
GuideBeautiful, clean campground. Short hike to river spots that are perfect for wading or fishing. 10 minute drive from Deep Lake which is beautiful and great for swimming and paddle boarding. Great cell service if you have TMobile. Clean bathrooms and free showers. Friendly camp hosts.
GuideThis was a great spot right by the park for us to crash for the night. We pulled in on a Tuesday night and there were lots of spots open. Great sites with a table and a fire pit. Multiple bathrooms throughout the area as well. There are plenty of hikes and areas to explore, plus you can buy firewood right down the road if you want to cook or just hang out. It was pretty quiet, you could pick from secluded or more open sites. We slept in our rooftop tent and loved the nature sounds throughout the night.
ScoutI arrived early in the day on a Tuesday (around noon) and had no trouble finding a spot to park my van. I love the trees, and the short walk to the water. I will be coming back here for sure!
ScoutBeautiful campsite, amazing trails just no cell service
TravelerWe have stayed a few times at Silver Springs and its one of our all time favorite . Recently stayed at site 13 and almost no one else was nearby.
Most of the sites are larger than average and mostly separated from the other sites.
There are two main loops (both close to the highway) and one dead-end loop on the southern side really close to the river.
The close access to several hiking trailheads, the White River itself, Goat Falls trailhead (almost no parking there), Crystal Mtn Ski Resort (open in the summer for Gondola rides to the top of the ridge with amazing 360 degree views and a restaurant (check for last seating times)), Sunrise Mt. Rainier entrance, and the rest of Chinook Pass, and close drives to Enumclaw, makes this a fantastic no service campground (public bathrooms with sinks on each loop).
There is a slightly hidden trail through the middle of the northern loop that we accidentally discovered this trip - it has a large group campfire / picnic area that would is not for camping but for day/evening use for a larger group with several picnic tables and cooking spots with a nice short and beautiful walk along the small creek inside the camp loop.
