Less than three hours from Seattle, sweeping mountain and lake views, bathrooms, parking, and clean campsites?! Honestly a car camping dream. This is one of my all-time favorite campgrounds, especially if you can snag one of the sites on the end of the tiny peninsula. You can’t see Mt Baker from the campsite, but head out onto the water and look behind you and there she is 😍

Some bugs, no noise.

The gist: Right off of I5 but far enough you can’t see it (sounds like a waterfall or a strong river)

Well-maintained sites

Clear signage

Wood for purchase

Walk-in sites are well spaced (we can’t hear our neighbors!)

No bugs! (June)

Summary: We reserved the last site of the walk-ups and are very happy with our choice. It’s the last site on a trail leading to a seasonal waterfall and riverbank where we are paddleboarding, floating, and swimming for the day. Weather and bugs turned out amazing and we feel so spoiled by this spacious, private campsite that feels far away but is only 1000 feet from the car (and society). If you do reserve a walk-up site make sure you bring some kind of cart! So glad our cooler was on wheels. As an occasional backpacker I would call this glamping since there’s tons of cell service and so many amenities.
