Sappy Hollow
We recently stayed at the Sappy Hollow Campground at Mt. Index Sanctuary, and had a great stay! Travis is a wonderful host, was very welcoming, meeting us at the private gated community, showing us around the campground, and answering our questions.
The few campsites are clean, large and private, with a picnic table, fire pit, and nearby sink and porta potties. The campground is spacious, with open areas ideal for families with children, and it's a short walk to the scenic Skykomish River. It's conveniently located in Index, just a few miles off of Highway 2, and is close to many nearby popular hiking trails, our main reason for staying in the area! I highly recommend it!

Excellent location + secluded site
Perfect location for hiking the many trails in the area. Nice secluded site with amenities like sink and potable water, toilets. Also offered a shelter should a storm arise. Quiet and pleasant, site large enough for multiple people without feeling crowded (and we had two cars). T, our host is friendly and very accommodating. He went over-and-above to help look for a billfold I'd lost. It shows they've put a lot of work into this labor of love. There's even an outdoor community area and river access with Mt Index towering above. Lovely!

Sappy Hollow
Sappy Hollow was such an awesome place to camp! Travis was responsive and attentive the whole time. He had extra wood for our firepit as well. We're hoping to make this an annual trip. I 100% recommend this place if you're looking for some great tent camping.

Sappy Hollow
The campsite was clean and secluded. We had everything we needed including emergency shelter if storms were to roll through. The outhouse was exceptionally clean. There was running water in case you need to clean anything or wash hands, just bring soap. Past the trees next to our campsite was a gorgeous view of Mt. Index. If hiking is your thing, there are trails nearby that are 10 min drive tops! T was communicative and friendly. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Sappy Hollow
Amazing views, river access
It is a perfect little getaway spot, with spectacular views, and river access (ideal for playing and cooling down as the water slows down. We found clay to play with, rocks, and sand too!) T provided some wagons (probably to haul firewood) that were a perfect toy for our kids and a vehicle to transfer beach toys to the river. T was attentive, ensuring we enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. The town of Index is just a few minutes drive away, so are the most amazing local hikes and the "Espresso Chalet". We will be back for sure!

Sappy Hollow
Totally recommend!
The Sappy hollow at Mt. Index sanctuary exceeded our expectations and by far one of our favorite spots on Hipcamp. Travis our host has done a great job with this place that makes feel like you are pitching a tent deep in the woods, yet still have great amenities like a portable toilet that was very clean, access to potable water, a short walk to river access and a gazebo with a super nice grill where we were able to share a meal and our dog was able to run around in the enclosed area. All in all, the reason we are coming back, is, because Travis made the process very easy and was always ver attentive without interrupting our stay.
