  Snoqualmie Pass, Washington

  Dispersed camping is the term used for camping in the National Forest OUTSIDE of a designated campground. Typically, it refers to roadside car camping, but also refers to backpacking in undeveloped sites. Dispersed camping means there are no services like trash removal, and amenities such as toilets, tables and fire pits, are not usually available.

  It is your responsibility to plan ahead and learn the extra skills necessary for dispersed camping. Camping rules and regulations apply to make your experience safe, and to keep the natural resources scenic and unspoiled for other campers.

  Dispersed camping along Forest Service roads is allowed where there is adequate space to safely park completely off the roadway and not on any vegetation. Whether car camping or backpacking, choose an existing campsite on bare or compacted soil. Unless signed as an area where a fee is required, dispersed camping is free. Dispersed camping is prohibited in developed campgrounds and areas posted closed or no camping. Some designated Wilderness areas have additional restrictions. For the best information on dispersed camping opportunities and local restrictions, please contact the nearest ranger district office.

  Rules for Dispersed Camping These rules apply to car camping and backpacking

  You may camp in a dispersed area in an individual Ranger District for up to 14 days within a 30-day period. After 14 days, you must move to another Ranger District or off the National Forest until the 30 days has elapsed. Do not blaze new roads to campsites, create new campsites, clear ground, cut or harm vegetation or construct a trail. Do not drive beyond constructed physical barriers, such as berms or gates.
  Do not drive through streams or wetlands to access a camp. If campfires are legal in your location and you choose to have a campfire, pick a site with an existing fire pit. Do not create new fire pits. Make sure your campfire is always attended and is dead out and cold to the touch before you leave your site. Fires may be restricted or banned based on the fire danger rating. Follow Leave No Trace principles and come prepared to “Pack it in. Pack it out.” Pack all trash home. Dispose of human waste in a sanitary manner. In high use locations, areas above tree line and snow-covered areas it is not possible to bury human waste in a sanitary manner. It will need to be packed out and disposed of at home using a wag bag, blue bag, portable toilet or another Leave No Trace approved method.
  Do not block roads or gates. Keep food and scented items secure from wildlife by keeping a clean camp and store items in your vehicle or use a wildlife resistant storage canister. Failure to follow regulations can lead to legal consequences. Additional Forest rules and links to report crimes can be found on our Law Enforcement page.

  Skykomish, Washington

  The Smith Brook trail starts off with several switchbacks, then continues up to Union Gap where it meets the Pacific Crest Trail. Turn south (left) at Union Gap and continue hiking until you reach the gap between Mount Lichtenberg and McCausland, where you get a first glimpse of Lake Valhalla.

  Just before reaching the gap, a boot trail follows the ridge up to an old lookout site at Mount McCausland. Less then a half a mile and 600 feet of climbing and you will reach the top, where you will have a great view of Glacier Peak to the north. There are lots of huckleberries in the meadows along this trail.

  Pass over the gap and descend to Lake Valhalla. There are a number of overnight campsites and a couple of backcountry toilets at the lake, although campfires are not permitted. There is a very pleasant sandy beach at the lake as well, which is perfect for lunch and relaxing in the summer.

  Cle Elum, Washington

  Welcome to Barn Valley. 4 acres of fully cross fenced private land for you to come enjoy. What's cross fenced mean? Simply put, you get a private camp section enclosed in so your furry critter can roam free and you don't have to worry about uncle Carl stealing your beers in the middle of the night from the campsite nextdoor.

  We are ideally located 300 yards from river access(follow western fenceline to the river, stay within 5 feet of fence, rest is private land), minutes from hiking, biking, fishing and horse back riding destinations. Oh, is it winter? Snowshoe, ski and snowmobile then!

  With the Teanaways ideal weather, every day can be an adventure.

  Potable Water accessible at center section of the 3 middle campsites. Pull pump up and push back hard and water will come out (it comes out fast and with lots of pressure, be ready).

  Each campground has atleast a 9'3" wide cattlemen gate (sites 1 and 3 have 14'+ gates). Most RVs and vehicles can fit through (measure your vehicle mirror to mirror and trailers widest points), and main homes 1/2 acre wide driveway makes it easy to navigate a back in travel trailer as well. Site 1-3 are 50 Feet Wide by 90 feet long. Each one can have a fire until late Aug (fire ban). Please douse fires after done. Blue Jug near pump along fence.

  10-15 minutes to breweries, distilleries and restaurants. 1 hour to North Bend/Leavenworth, 1.5 to Bellevue. Welcome to tranquil Barn Valley! Every adventure, hiking, biking, snowshoeing etc.. is accessible from property or a short drive away.

  Note: If you're coming to camp in the winter. Be smart, pack warm and only drive capable 4x4/all wheel vehicles with good traction tires and a plan for deep snow. We do not shovel. Spare shovel located at pumphouse.

  Sites are dog friendly ( do not leave your animals unattended). Equine/group lot is site 4. It is 2 acres and allows for only one person to book and pay for all other attendees. Just like sites 1-3, please be respectful of others and ask permission to approach other peoples animals, property and campsites. Park vehicles inside fenceline (inside your campsite).

  Quiet hours at sunset. NO generators past 10pm.

  This is a fun and family friendly location. Main home is an airbnb and family cabin that uses northern pasture and reserves the right to the main homes parking and fenced in area for their animals. Please keep it safe for all and close all gates after passing through them. Pack out what you pack in. NO toilets, no trash cans, no nonsense. Just have fun. The valley is special for all. Lets keep it that way. Lots of deer, birds and grasshoppers.
