Best Glamping near Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest

The campsite is great for kids because of the amenities like the pool and other games. Good for people now into glamping. If you're looking for a "nature" experience this isn't it. If you have a trailer or reserve a cabin is great. I wouldn't tent camp here though. Sometimes it's nice to just get away though and still have power and a bed.

it’s great access to the northern cascades. first time staying there and I have been camping in Washington since I was born

it has great access to some really good trails the scenery is beautiful.

We love Tall Chief because it is super close to a lot of great spots around the Seattle region.

It’s super close (like 7 min drive) from one of my favorite coffee shops, Aroma Coffee Co. Try it! You won’t be disappointed!

Tall Chief’s biggest perk is probably how nice they keep the park. Bathrooms are usually found to be immaculate. The main bathrooms have a great “spa” feeling to their design and make you feel like you are glamping.

Most sites are pretty big too. We can easily fit our trailer, tow vehicle, and extra vehicle and still have space!

No sewer connections which can be a bummer, but the nice bathrooms make up for it imo.

The staff are always super nice and helpful.

Another thing that can be annoying is trying to find a site with good cell reception due to all the trees. They definitely have a few, but I would say arrive early so you can drive by all the sites while checking to make sure you have good reception if you need it.

I’m getting 120+ mbs download on AT&T in my site right now, but several sites down from me, it can dwindle down to 5mbs!

spent a night in the yurt. Everything worked.

Take a hint from the name and bring a kayak! The coolest thing about the campground is the yurts. They’re modern and pretty close together if it’s just your family, but we were here for a scout event and it was just so neat staying in the yurts, especially in the colder months. Some bathrooms have water flush toilets. There’s a playground and the shore to keep the kids busy and fishing for us.

Camped on a yurt tent pad here and it was awesome. Alpacas and other animals. Mellow and fun!

Opps this is for the campground not the yurts. There's a fishing pier and boat ramp and great beach access. The sites are big, they just redid the utilities so each site now has water.

The campground is up top and the day use area (beach and boat ramp and pier) is down below. During a previous trip in April we saw a whale feeding in the bay. We take our boat and crab. Its close to town but surprisingly few people are aware of the campground. There's yurts, but we stay in our trailer.

Great little campground if you want to head to the river!

Small open campground for dry camping. 14 sites, a few yurts, and lots of day use space. Short walk to beach on river. Great river floating, swimming etc. Some trails and a huge open field for play!!

Due to COVID bathrooms were closed, port-o- potties were in place, and badly needed serviced. T-mobile cell service was spotty at best.

On hot days can be busy, but a great time was had by all.

This place is great if you plan to spend most of your time on the river, or trails, but not so much on at your site.  The lots for most tents/trailers and RVs are pretty close together, not a ton of privacy.

On the plus side the river is beautiful, mostly slow, and shallow, and pretty clear.  BUT BRING A LIFE JACKET, accidents happen all the time on this river and I wouldn't put my kids in with out a life jacket. 

There are some cool yurts, cabins and platforms for tents on the other side of the river and plenty of hiking. Trails go along the water, and up into the woods behind the campground.  As of now it is clear cut once you get over the ridge.  This is sad in one breath, but gorgeous in very next.  There is wildlife in the area so come prepared (black bears, bobcats, coyotes). 

Overall a great place, but like most western Washington campgrounds it's better in good weather by a significant margin.  It may flood in the winter, and when it's rainy it's pretty soggy.

Carnation is a neat small town that the park is at the very edge of.  Plenty of options for groceries and laundry.

Nothing beats camping at a historical Fort with breathtaking views and great motorcycle friendly activities.

Take your family this summer to enjoy hiking trails, explore the remains of Fort Casey, and visit the diving park at Washington’s Keystone.

Romantic sunsets and premium restaurants nearby make this a perfect lovers getaway just as much as a family fun trip.

Take your heart on a journey and Camp Washington State!

Great campground this was hands down one of our favorite thousand trails in Washington you will enjoy this campground Great location great campground would go back

It’s right in the floodplain, so it is only enjoyable when it is not rainy season. This campground is south of Duvall, which is an affluent town with shops and things to do. 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. There’s not a lot of privacy for the campsites. Good location for parking and exploring the east side of Lake Washington cities or access to mountains and hiking on I90.

State forest campground along the Chewuch River, just north of Winthrop. Easy access to the town of Winthop for groceries and ice cream. HUGE sites with firepits. Very quiet, expect perhaps during hunting season. Lots of deer hangs throughout camping area and lots of fishing options. No picnic tables or potable water. Clean pit toilets, though it appears that hunters occasionally use them for target practice. Cost=free! Note: This is a different campground than the one that popped up in the drop down list. Near this area, but on the other side of Washington Pass.

Talk about an incredible place to visit. Washington is the definition of amazing hiking. The mountains are gorgeous, and the hiking views are hard to beat. The "North Cascades" is a little piece of heaven. The drive in it of itself was like no other drive we have ever done. I was in awe the entire time. The hiking here is beyond amazing. We did Blue Lake and I wanted to do it again the next day because of how amazing it was. Diablo Lake was incredible as well. The water was crystal ice blue. The pictures dont do it justice. The campgrounds on North Cascades were BOOKED! thankfully we reserved our spots ahead of time, reading other reviews that said to do this. There were no campsites available the weekend we went, it was crazy. We had to hike super early to beat the crowds, for sure. I definitely want to come back and do Hidden Lake Lookout, but we had our dog and someone said that wasnt the best hike to do with a young puppy. Maybe when our dog is older! The weather was perfect when we went as well. Clear blue skies!

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.

This campground is on the very senic Mountain loop Rd in the Mount Baker -Snoqualmie National Forest. It's a beautiful drive. The campground is nestled in some great trees. Only 13 campsites with tent pads, picnic tables, and fire rings. Vault toilets, we'll maintained The town of Darrington is close by if you need something. The Sauk River is accessible from the campground and is honestly the highlight.

Site was clean well maintained. Easy access to the river. There is no plumbed water on site but there are a couple of vault toilets and dumpsters available. If following google maps it may have you drive past the entrance, but there is a turn around once you realized you missed it.

Camped August 8-11 2021 during a burn ban but it was still worth the escape from city life. Temperatures were within the 80s but during our last day, it was in the 90s. There are 2 vault toilets (one by the host area at Site 3 and one by campsite 10). Rented 3 campsites (10, 12, 13) and stayed on site 13 which was at the very end of the campground and I loved the privacy it had. Site 12 had direct river access which was awesome! Site 13 has a trail leading to it but somewhat steep. I would say that it was very clean and well kept. There's only a few mosquitoes but repellants would be ideal. The town is literally less than 10 minutes away in case you need some essentials. There is cellphone reception which is great if you prefer to camp and still be connected. As always, pack in pack out and leave no trace. The only downside is that it is by the road but good thing is there isn't much traffic come night time. Old Sauk Trailhead is about a mile away. You can get Geocaches too if you're into that. 

Missed the campground entrance but the turnaround is just there. Lots of campers seem to miss it the first time (including us). If you're at Site 13, you'll see the many vehicles that stop and turn which is hilarious.
