About
Red Bridge Campground is located just off the Mountain Loop Highway along the pebble-strewn bank of the South Fork Stillaguamish River in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. This beautiful riverside campground offers visitors a peaceful retreat with access to excellent fishing, kayaking, and hiking opportunities. The campground features single-family sites nestled amongst shrubs and trees, offering privacy and proximity to river activities. The South Fork Stillaguamish River, known for its salmon runs, flows gently through old-growth forests and provides habitat for Chinook, Coho, chum, pink and sockeye salmon, steelhead trout, sea-run cutthroat, and bull trout. The surrounding area offers spectacular mountain views, including Mt. Baker on clear days, which rises to 10,781 feet as an active, perpetually snow-capped volcano. The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest provides access to 1,500 miles of trails for all skill levels. The nearby Mt. Dickerman Trail climbs steeply through timber forests to alpine meadows that burst with wildflowers in July and August, culminating at a 5,723-foot summit with spectacular panoramic views. The area also sustains rare wildlife species including lynx, moose, wolves, and wolverine. Nearby attractions include historic fire lookouts, the Verlot Public Service Center built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, North Cascades National Park, and Mount Rainier National Park.
