Campground information , Washington
Overview
This campground is located along the Middle Fork of the scenic Snoqualmie River in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
Beneath a canopy of towering Douglas fir, cedar and Western hemlock, and located near several hiking trails within a short
driving distance, this campground is a perfect site for both individual and small group camping excursions.
Recreation
In addition to being a prime location for hiking, fishing, horseback riding and picnicking in summer and early fall, Middle Fork offers excellent skiing and snowshoeing in the winter months.
Approximately 1,500 miles of trails throughout the area can entice any hiker to get outdoors. From smooth paths meandering
through deep quiet forests to challenging ascents up boulder-studded mountains, opportunities abound for every skill
level.
The popular Middle Fork Trail is a 3 mile trail offering visitors a glimpse into the area’s diversity. The trail begins by
crossing the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River via the Gateway Bridge, then turns upstream and meanders
between the river and overhanging cliffs, offering sweeping views of nearby peaks. After climbing away from the river and passing
under Stegosaurus Butte, a granite ridge towering over the valley at over 1,000 feet, the trail follows an old logging railroad
grade used by pioneers and finally descends back to river level.
The Middle Fork Snoqualmie Trail is also used by bicycles and horseback riders. Mountain bikes are allowed on the trail on odd-
numbered days of the week.
A Recreation Pass is required for each vehicle parked at the trailhead.
Facilities
Middle Fork Campground offers 39 standard sites, including two group sites.
Picnic tables, vault toilets and drinking water are also available.
Natural Features
Hemmed in by several designated wilderness areas, Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest showcases rugged peaks, sparkling alpine
lakes and old-growth forests.
On a clear day visitors will see Mt. Baker, the most prominent feature of the Mt. Baker Wilderness Area. Rising to an elevation
of 10,781 feet, the active volcano from which the forest takes its name is perpetually snow-capped and mantled with an extensive
network of creeping glaciers. Mt. Baker’s summit, Grant Peak, is actually a 1,300-foot-deep mound of ice, which hides a massive
volcanic crater.
Wildlife in the area include mountain goats, coyotes, pine marten and a variety of migratory birds and native fish.
