Paradise at Waterfall Camp!

We absolutely loved Waterfall Camp. The hosts are friendly and accommodating, and the site itself is beautiful and private, with lots of small touches (well-placed and CLEAN double outhouse facilities, solar lights around the site to light the pathways at night, hammock hooks already installed and ready to use, plus two picnic tables that came in very handy, to name a few). But the magic of Waterfall Camp is found in the surrounding forest and the river and waterfall below, where you can explore the vast beach and take a swim or soak up the rays - something for everyone. We loved hearing and seeing the trains pass through, which wasn’t too loud at all. We’ll be back as soon as our schedule permits!

Will stay here again.

I loved camping here! It was easy to find. Felt private without being isolated with the exception of one vehicle parking on the road by the camp site to use a near by path to the river. The views and easy access to hikes were exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed the hammock spots and the solar lights around the property. Plenty of seating and eating spots.

Waterfall camp

Incredible location with stunning views. River noise was good to fall asleep to at night. 2 CLEAN portapotties on site. Minimal cell coverage (1 bar T-Mobile LTE), which we didn’t consider to be a bad thing. There’s trail access down to the river, leading to many great swimming and relaxing options. We brought trekking poles with us and would recommend using them through this trail. Solar lights and log splitter were great to have on site. No need to pack kindling. We had plenty of space to position and maneuver our teardrop trailer.

Very nice spot, with a great view! Yes, there are a few properties nearby, but the skykomish river is top notch. If you want to get down to for river access, you can take a road nearby and have a fun adventure getting down there. Sleeping was nice. Trains are nearby but they don't toot their horns. Some bugs, so bring your spray. Bridal veil falls is nearby, which is a great hike for the morning. We'd come back here for sure.
