Guide
Lots of flat, wooded sites are a short level walk to the beach on a really beautiful lake. Across the main road from the campground is a 3+ mile trail to popular hot springs.
The best sites for view are 34, 37, 38, 39. We stayed in 46, and loved it because it is very close to the beach. 47 and 44 are also very nice and close to the beach.
The campground reservation site did not have a good map of the campground. I finally found one on the forest service site https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5308652.pdf
The reservation site said site 46 could only accommodate a vehicle up to 15 feet in length, but there was plenty of room.
Guide
Super well maintained. Every site has a huge bear bin for storage, and they’re at a wonderful height to put a stove on top and stand cooking.
Guide
Don't have much of a review, we found a spot here last second after signing up to run the Sun Mountain 25k last minute. Barely spent any time at the campground. I know the location was good for being able to just walk into town. The camp spots were just shared space in a grassy area. Nothing spectacular.
TravelerClean, quiet perfect camping location. Site 35 is a double lot - didn’t know that when booking. It is a little bit more exposed then some of the other sites available but still had a lovely time.
Guide
We took the opportunity to secure one of the “private” lots. Site S9 comes with a private fenced area, with fire pit, hot tub, seating and fully ready propane Weber. Staff is immediate and attentive. Free WiFi and only 1 hour from the National Park.
LegendYou’re definitely deep in the forest and at the door step to some of wester WA best hiking. Beautiful forested location right on the river.
Legend
A beautiful quaint small campground. Sites are well spaced out. River access is nice and hiking right from the campground.
TravelerBeyond cool people and accommodating, we were looking for dispersed camping but this was everything!
Guide
Nice park great area
Scout
Never fails to be perfect.
LegendBeautiful location on river. Traffic noise but did not bother us at all. Would be tight when camp is full but it was not while we were there. Host did great job of spacing rvs throughout camp for optimal privacy. Male host a bit militant about dogs off leash (including in your site). Laundry facilities very dusty/dirty. One dryer (middle one) did not fry clothes well even though ran it twice. Good sized dog run and a lot of games for guest use. We had fun using corn hole game. Really decent price for full hookups and site was pretty level.
TravelerThere is no denying that this place is GORGEOUS! Tons of really great hikes in the area and near a couple great rivers. Although this campground is on the river, I wouldn’t want one of the river front sites—they seem to be the most exposed and closest together. Only 3 stars because you have to drive out about 30 minutes on a gravel road with giant potholes from either direction to reach this campground… and almost all of the sites are small or super exposed/close to the road. What’s the point of going out that far if not to escape people a bit? I’d recommend site #7 (pretty cool—it’s like literally up from its own site!) or #18 (a little bit bigger and more private/set off to the side).
TravelerVery nice place clean and quiet people here are so nice. So much here to do for the kids. And really cute dog walk.
Scout
We had sites 28 and 30 for Labor Day weekend. Site 30 had a nice flat tent pad but was overall smaller. Site 28 took a little more effort to set up our family’s tent on level ground, but was overall more spacious and so our group also used that site as our kitchen/campfire area. Both sites have a view of the lake down the campground loop and are relatively close to the vault toilets, which was fine except for the morning we left when wind off of the lake carried unpleasant smells our way. Overall the lake is beautiful, and there’s great access at this campground. Would absolutely recommend and/or go back, just be careful with site selection!
ScoutWarm welcome, Nice campground with enough facilities
ScoutWonderful check-in process. Super simple. Great customer service, friendly staff, you can receive packages here no charge. Lots of shade trees, level site, good spacing, places to access the river, etc.
Guide
We had a great weekend at Marble Creek! Campsites are super spacious and spread out, so it felt very private. No water, so pack yours in! There was access to the Cascade River from the campground, and we had a great time hanging out at the beach.
ScoutVery nice the jumpy pillow in Creek are awesome sites are still a little muddy right now. Limited full hiccups if you’re 1000 trails.
GuideThis place is so far but so worth it! We drove 63 miles and more, but the juice was worth the squeeze. A very cozy and quiet campground, the place is down the road and to the right. Nestled deep in the woods, you might find Bigfoot. Seriously.
ScoutGreat camp sites next to Baker lake with stunning emerald green/blue water. Lots of hiking trails nearby.
TravelerCamp clean and serviceable but boring for geezers. The access to North Cascades Hwy is great. Can follow Skagit River, but Pass closed summer of 2021. Spectacular scenery E. of camp.
GuideCamped 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.
Traveler
Beautiful mountain views. Creek is amazing. Campsites are well maintained. Restroom are cleaned daily.
GuideWe stayed two nights. I highly recommend making reservations online prior, but due to other issues, we had to take a chance with First Come First Serve. The loop road is about 3/4 of a mile. The sites are well spaced out and all are very spacious. Although the driveway begins at Marble Creek, there’s no access to the creek from the campground. There is, however, access to the Cascade River! No running water, so bring your own. We totally enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again.
ScoutGreat RV Park
Scout
It’s the best campground especially loop D which is closed to the white river
LegendA few long terms folks. Nice quiet amenities - new bathrooms, large dog area, easy river access, playground was older but did the trick for the kids, nice paved roads to scooter and skate, yard games set up for anyone’s use and proximity to twisp, Winthrop, the rodeo etc we’re great.
