Silver Springs Sno Park

Within Snoqualmie National Forest, Silver Springs Sno Park operates as a dispersed camping area managed by the US Forest Service. This large gravel parking lot sits just off the highway with drive-in access, though campers report potholes that require slow navigation for RVs.

The site functions more as an overnight stop than a destination campground. Cell service proves unreliable, with AT&T showing zero reception and Verizon barely usable. Campers can stay up to 14 days and must pack out all trash. The area accommodates big rigs on uneven ground that requires leveling. Road noise diminishes significantly in the evening hours, and the location provides convenient access to camping near Snoqualmie National Forest for those exploring the broader forest system.

Great spot near sunrise entrance

Basically it's an empty lot, a lot of space. Great for one night if you want to be close to sunrise entrance. It's a bit close to the road but in the evening it's very quite. We parked with our RV. It's not perfectly leveled, but will do the trick. There is a sign saying pack out your trash, and that you cannot stay here more than 14 days, meaning it's a legitimate site.

Good for an Overnight

Large gravel parking area just outside the border of Mt Ranier NP that’s right off the highway, easy to access in our RV, just have to go slow over the potholes. Zero cell reception for ATT and the Verizon phone was very weak/ practically unusable. 

There was an abandoned (ticketed) falling apart trailer, and another trailer camping there. The stay limit here is 14 days, though to me this is more a place if you need a place for the night, rather than a destination. 

It’s on the way to Crystal Springs Resort area, which we did not check out.
