About

Situated on the banks of the White River in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, The Dalles Campground offers visitors stunning scenery and access to a multitude of recreational activities within the Cascade region. Scattered beneath a towering canopy of old-growth Douglas-fir, cedar, and western hemlock, the 45 sites in this campground are widely-spaced and many are positioned at the water's edge, providing a serene riverside setting. Hiking and fishing are the primary recreational draws in the area. The half-mile, barrier-free John Muir Nature Trail begins at the historic picnic shelter near the campground entrance, making it accessible for all visitors. The Dalles River View Trail starts at the west end of the campground loop, marked by the "Big Tree," a 700-year-old Douglas fir measuring 9.5 feet in diameter. Anglers will find excellent fly fishing opportunities on the White River and its tributaries for several species of salmon and trout. The campground is located approximately 26 miles southeast of Enumclaw on Highway 410 and just 7 miles west of Mount Rainier National Park. The White River flows from ice caves at the base of Emmons Glacier in Mount Rainier National Park and joins Huckleberry Creek just below the campground. Wildlife in the area includes mountain goats, coyotes, pine martens, and various migratory birds. Five sites are ADA accessible, and a covered picnic area is available for reservation or first-come, first-served use.

Directions

From Enumclaw, go southeast on Highway 410 towards Mount Rainier for approximately 26 miles. The campground is 7 miles west of the Mount Rainier National Park north entrance.
