Evans Creek Campground

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Off-road vehicle enthusiasts will find Evans Creek Campground serves as a hub for trail riding activities within the Snoqualmie National Forest. The US Forest Service facility provides both drive-in and walk-in sites along a gravel road, with reviewers noting that spots on the right side of the road offer better positioning away from vehicle traffic. The campground includes standard amenities like restrooms, picnic tables, and allows campfires using dead and down wood collected on-site.

Cell service drops out about 10 minutes up the road from the campground. Bears may be present in the area. For a different mountain experience, Mowich Lake Campground sits higher up the same rough access road system.

Campers regularly cited the clean conditions, good road access, and adequate facilities including restrooms and water. Many mentioned the campground caters to off-road vehicle enthusiasts with great trails, though some noted noise from ORV activity.

Unexpected but pleasant

So the story is I came up this side of Rainier on Labor Day weekend hoping to score a spot at Mowich Lake Campground,(yeah, no). After the looong verrryyy bumpy drive up the road I luckily ran into the ranger at the entrance where the self ticketing is and he suggested checking out Evans creek for a FF spot for the night which was 10 minutes back down the way I came. You go past the initial parking lot and stay right at the fork. Very nice helpful people around that had been going to this spot for years for the off-roading activities. I did make friends with another couple that was there to hike rainier like me. I was told the spots on the right side of the road are safer since people tend to drive a little fast and the ones on the left are more exposed. Ranger told me I could use whatever was “dead and down” for firewood which was perfect. It’s about a half hour to Tolmie Peak trailhead up the hill which was what I hiked the next morning. (At least it’s was for me, trying not to blow up my Corolla on the very rough road ) No service from about 10 minutes up the road.

Great place to play with your toys.

Nice clean park. You get there on a good gravel road. I stayed there with a 27 ft motor home towing my Jeep. It can get a little noisy from the ORV Riggs, but that is what the majority are there for. Bring your toys and join the fun. Great trails for all levels of off road people.
