    Clear Creek Campground

    A Surprising Gem

    10 minutes outside of Darlington city limits is the 13-site Clear Creek Campground locates right along the rocky shores of the Sauk River. For being so near to town, we felt rather far away from civilization with the canopy of green and blue above us and the river only yards away.

    It was Sunday, the day before Labor Day, so we were very pleased and surprised to find the camp ground relatively vacant. There were two different bathroom facilities that were well-maintained and accessible. The tent pads made it easy to set up camp. Each site had a fire pit; and right before you leave town, you can snag some camp wood in exchange for dropping money in a cash box from a local resident. The rocky shores of the river made for easy and fun exploring.

    Even though the mountain loop highway was merely on the other side of the trees, we rarely heard passing cars over the constant and soothing dull roar of the river, also located on the other side of the trees! It was the perfect location for our last minute, one-night family excursion. We even had our 8-month-old baby with us.

    If you’re not interested in camping around a whole bunch of other people but also not interested in trekking too far into the wilderness, I definitely recommend pitching your tent at the Clear Creek Campground 10 minutes outside of Darrington.

    Clear Creek Campground

    Small campground, great river fun

    This campground is a little place tucked in beside a bridge right inside the Mt Baker Snoqualmie Forrest boundaries. The campsites are a bit small, but cozy with everything you need. Fire Pit with grill, separate standing charcoal grill, tent pads, picnic tables. The bathrooms(vault toilets) are well maintained and clean, BUT BE AWARE THERE IS NO WATER HERE. Repeat, there is no water spouts here, so you'll have to bring all you need.

    Panorama Point Campground

    Great Group Site on the Water

    We camped in site 6 double site (best group site) and we loved it! We had our own access to the water and the fire pit is located with an excellent view of the mountains. They don't call in Panorama Point for nothing. Plenty of parking for 5 cars and 5 tents! The restroom was almost directly across the street. There was no camp host, firewood or working water when arrived in the summer of 2020, so we had to go to Swift Creek about a 1 mile up the road. The water was a little minerally there, so I would would recommend bringing your own drinking water. Mosquitos worse on the camp side closest to the day park due to standing water. One of our favorite spots in the PNW!

    Swift Creek Campground

    Packed tight and very busy. But very scenic

    We arrived in Mid August and got one of the last sites. If you are going in the summer, probably better reserve a site! Our site was a walk-in. 4 or 5 shared parking area served 3 close campsites. the campsite was on the river and it was pretty. The campground was quiet - thank god no trains (see money creek review). There was a nice trail past the interpretive area that crosses a bridge over the river - quite pretty. There were full restrooms and running water. Aside from the crowds, we enjoyed our stay.

    Marble Creek Campground

    Peaceful beauty!

    We stayed here on a Thursday through Sunday and enjoyed every day. Important to note there is no running water and no electricity and smaller RVs and smaller trailers will fit and that's it. It's really more of a tent camping place. There are 23 sites about three-quarters are reservable the rest first come first served $14 a night $7 for extra cars. Fire Rings picnic tables and nice pads for your tent in every site. The best ones of course are on the river side with number 9 and 12 being the prime reservable spots. There are two sets of bathrooms for the entire Loop so depending where you stay it can be quite a walk in the night! They are pit Vault toilets and original out houses complete with natural smell. The campground host keeps everything nice and clean. Firewood is sold in the camp ($6) but several places on the way in sell it for less from local people.

    Wenberg County Park

    So busy!

    We stayed here two weeks and decided never to return because it was far too busy and crowded. Sites are priced high. It’s a really nice park for the lake access. Our neighbors behind us were camping directly next to our RV bedroom. The next site’s campfire was so close we couldn’t escape their smoke if we tried. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is not ideal.

    Clear Creek Campground

    Gorgeous camping in the Mt Baker National Forest

    The Clear Creek campground is off the Mountain loop Rd in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Clear Creek is only ten minutes or so from Darrington WA. Only 13 campsites with tent pads, picnic tables, and fire rings. Vault toilets were also available. Firewood is not available on site, but local residents have firewood for sale at the roadside. The creek and the Sauk river are absolutely beautiful. There is so much wildlife in the area, keep an eye out, I think I saw a wolverine by the creek, couldn't get my camera ready in time,

Guide to Marblemount

The Marblemount area sits within Washington's North Cascades at elevations ranging from 350 to 500 feet near town, surrounded by peaks reaching over 8,000 feet. Seasonal camping typically runs May through September due to mountain snowpack and rainfall patterns. Many glamping options near Marblemount, Washington require advanced planning, with sites filling quickly during summer weekends.

What to do

Hiking access points: The Marble Creek Campground offers proximity to multiple hiking trails including Hidden Lake. "The hike is incredible and you can actually see the whole mountainside you hike from the public access beach in the campground, which was pretty cool," notes Danielle S. The site serves as a convenient basecamp for exploring the area's diverse trail systems.

River activities: Fishing and paddling opportunities abound in the local waterways. "You can go hiking in the area but you can also kayak. The river is really smooth and you can also fish," reports Kevin T. about Marble Creek. The glacial-fed rivers provide cold, clear water throughout much of the summer season.

Beach relaxation: Multiple campgrounds offer beach access for swimming and shoreline exploration. At Horseshoe Cove Campground, "The beach has a roped of shallow swim area that was great for the kids and the dog," according to Caitlin. Beach areas typically have gradual entry points suitable for various swimming abilities.

What campers like

Secluded sites: Many campers appreciate the privacy between sites at certain campgrounds. "The campsites are a bit small, but cozy with everything you need. Fire Pit with grill, separate standing charcoal grill, tent pads, picnic tables," says Maria S. about Clear Creek Campground. The natural vegetation between many sites creates a sense of seclusion.

Lake views: The panoramic mountain and water views draw many visitors. "Less than three hours from Seattle, sweeping mountain and lake views, bathrooms, parking, and clean campsites?! Honestly a car camping dream," writes Henry H. about Panorama Point. Many waterfront sites offer direct views across the lakes toward mountain ranges.

Old-growth forest settings: The mature forests provide shade and habitat for wildlife viewing. At Bedal Campground, "The Trees here are Amazing! 21 campsites to choose from, with some availability to reserve. The sites are large, and there is a large old growth shelter available as well," explains Andrea R. The forest canopy helps moderate temperatures on hot summer days.

What you should know

Water availability: Not all campgrounds offer potable water. "No running water, so pack yours in!" advises Olivia about Bedal. At Clear Creek, "There is no plumbed water on site but there are a couple of vault toilets and dumpsters available," reports Ashley V. Visitors should plan to bring adequate water supplies.

Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds fill quickly, especially on weekends. "We tried our luck with no reservations and we were able to score a spot for three nights. There were several sites available when we stayed there, but it was during the week," shares Danielle S. about Marble Creek Campground. Most popular sites should be reserved 3-6 months in advance.

Insects: Be prepared for mosquitoes, particularly in early summer. At Swift Creek Campground, "Mosquitoes will eat you alive," warns Joshua F. Bug repellent is essential equipment from June through early August when insect activity peaks.

Tips for camping with families

Swimming areas: Look for designated swimming spots with gradual entry. At Horseshoe Cove, "There is a swimming beach and boat ramp, as well as flush toilets," notes Kayko S. These areas typically have fewer underwater hazards and calmer water conditions.

Kid-friendly activities: Some locations offer specific amenities for children. At Thousand Trails Grandy Creek, "This weekend there is a lollipop toss, ice cream social, candy bar bingo, and an outdoor movie. The jumping pillow has been repaired and is (new?) better than ever!" shares Kathy A. Organized activities typically occur on weekends during peak season.

Security considerations: Gated campgrounds provide additional safety for families with young children. "Because it's off the road and has a security gate, I have no problem letting my kid be a kid," mentions Kathy A. about Thousand Trails Grandy Creek. These facilities often have regular staff patrols throughout the day and evening.

Tips from RVers

Pad sizes: Check site dimensions carefully when booking. "The RV pads are double wide concrete pads about 50 feet long with full hook-ups. All sites include a fire pit, picnic table, and grill with ash bucket and grill cleaning brush," reports Christina F. about Jim Creek. Many online reservation systems list maximum vehicle length for each site.

Connectivity: Cell service varies widely throughout the region. At Thousand Trails Grandy Creek, "ATT cell service is solid. I was able to use my phone as a hot spot and work a bit, too," says Kathy A. Most remote sites have limited or no connectivity, while locations closer to towns may offer better service.

Weather preparation: Temperature variations can be significant. "It gets kind of chilly at night and there is light fog in the morning," Kevin T. mentions about Marble Creek. RVers should bring adequate heating options for cool nights even during summer months.
