About
Middle Fork Campground offers a classic Pacific Northwest camping experience in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Located along the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River beneath a canopy of old-growth Douglas fir, cedar, and Western hemlock, the campground provides 36 standard tent or trailer sites. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, with vault toilets and potable water available throughout the campground. The campground serves as an excellent base for exploring the area's extensive trail network. The popular Middle Fork Trail begins nearby, crossing the Snoqualmie River via the Gateway Bridge and winding 3 miles through diverse terrain with views of Stegosaurus Butte and surrounding peaks. Mountain bikes are permitted on the trail on odd-numbered days. Fishing opportunities abound in the river, and horseback riding is permitted on designated trails. Winter visitors will find the area transforms into a destination for skiing and snowshoeing, though the campground itself operates seasonally from May through September. A Northwest Forest Pass or $8 day-use fee is required for trailhead parking.
