VISIT DATE: 07/14/2007

UPDATE DATE:  12/11/2021

STATE: Washington

REGION: Pacific Northwest

RANGER DISTRICT: Skykomish

NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Skykomish

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation

DIRECTIONS:
From Skykomish, WA, take US Rt. 2 east 0.8 miles to Beckler
River Rd and campground sign.  Turn left after signs onto Forest
Rt. 65 and go 1.3 miles to campground on left.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,100 ft.

The campground stretches along the rocky Beckler River ending in
a small loop through a stand of maple, hemlock, and some Douglas
fir.  Some sites back up onto the river but most are tucked in
among the trees and are well shaded.  Vine maples and shrubs
provide good privacy between sites.  The sounds of Beckler River
can be heard throughout campground.  The river offers some
fair swimming and tubing but this campground is better known for
its peaceful atmosphere.  Firewood is available for a fee.

A possible day trip is the Iron Goat Trail #1074.  It has two
trailheads nearby on US Rt 2.  One is at mile post 55 (Martin
Creek) and the other at mile post 64.4 (Wellington).  Martin Creek
is more convenient but a steep access to the trail.  Wellington
commemorates a deadly early 1900s avalanche.  Guided tours are
offered.  For further information visit www.irongoat.org.  Other
day trips are Deception Falls, the community of Skykomish, and a
drive along Old Cascade Highway.

This campground has three unnamed overlapping loops where Lodge Creek feeds South Fork Snoqualmie River in a stand of mixed conifers including Douglas fir and hemlock. The many trees provide a lacy shade to sites giving the campground an airy feel. While a few sites back up on the River, the thick vegetation limits any view of the water. This is a very popular campground that fills late Thursday; reservations suggested. There is some distant noise from I-90 but not too distracting. Firewood is available for a fee. This is bear country; practise safe food storage techniques.

GENERAL COMMENTS: The elevation is 1,200 ft. The campground, on the North Fork Nooksack River, has two unnamed loops. The loop to the left of the fee board has most of the campsites backing up on the river and shorter parking aprons. A lack of understory gives these sites an open airy feel while the mature cedar, hemlock, and Douglas fir provide shade. Sites in the other loop (right of fee board) are larger with longer parking aprons. About half of these sites are along the river but trees are larger and the shade dense enough for moss and lichen to grow. This loop also has some attractive stonework at a few sites reflecting its Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) origin. Another reminder is the little picnic shelter with it huge stone fireplace and split shake roof. A possible day trip is a visit to Picture Lake and Artist Point in Heather Meadows further up Mt.

While most of these sites are very open and sunny, the campground's other loops are in a stand of lichen-draped hemlock, maple, alder, and some Douglas fir. The ground is covered with fern, moss, and a variety of shrubs providing good to excellent privacy between sites. This part of the campground has a lush, semi-tropical appearance.

What these tent sites lack in shade, they more than make up for with amazing views of Garfield Mountain and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. The rest of the campground meanders through a stand of hemlock and Douglas fir with a semi-tropical feel. Scattered throughout the loop are large tree stumps suggesting just how large the campground's trees could get. Most of the old stumps now act as "nursery trees" providing a place for the next generation of growth. Even with the poor condition of the access road, this is a campground worth the drive - just take it slow. Each site also has a pedestal grille. Firewood is available for a fee.

This is an attractive campground with good privacy between sites and a tranquil atmosphere.
