           The Snoqualmie District is the southern most district of the 1.7 million acre Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie Forest. Two major “drainages” flow through the district. In the southern area at the north base of Mt. Rainier running from the northeast entry of the Mt. Rainier National Park to Enumclaw is the White River with Highway 410 along its edge giving access to incredible old growth forested regions and vast valleys of Douglas Fir forests. The two campgrounds on Hwy 410 are near the entry of the Park and at the base of Crystal Ski Area. Both are nestled in giant rain forest trees mostly consisting of Douglas Fir and Red Cedar. Both campgrounds are very RV friendly with paved camp roads, and some cell phone coverage in the campgrounds and nearby. The tourist and ski town of Greenwater is close by with Enumclaw also only a half hour away.

            In the north section of the district is the area most easily accessible to the Metro area of Seattle. Due east of the city close to I-90 are over 100 campsites located in three campgrounds, Denny Creek, which has some RV hookups with power, Tinkham, a more rustic campground that is less than an hour from I-5,  and finally Middle Fork, which even though it is close to one of the nations largest cities is still relatively remote and isolated. The Snoqualmie River runs along the Interstate and provides fishing and nature trails that are easy to use. Hundreds of miles of trails ranging from “anyone can do it” to expert only give access to peaceful mountain lakes and scenic ridge vistas. There is a district office in North Bend just off I-90 and one in Enumclaw on Hwy 410 for further information plus our hosts should be able to provide you with activity ideas as well.
