Sulphur Creek Campground

Overview

Sulphur Creek Campground is a primitive site in a beautiful forest along the banks of the scenic Suiattle River and Sulpher Creek. It is a remote haven set amongst towering old growth Douglas fir trees in the Mt. Baker-Snoquamie National Forest.

Hikers frequently camp here to explore the many trails surrounding the facility. It has moderate, enjoyable summer temperatures throughout the camping season.

Recreation

The biggest draw to Sulphur Creek Campground is hiking. The well-known Suiattle Trail and numerous others begin within a few miles of the campground. The area is part of the North Cascades range.

Facilities

This primitive site provides no drinking water, though there is a pit toilet. There are 20 individual campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. Campers may purchase supplies in the nearby town of Darrington.

Natural Features

The Suiattle River is a federally designated National Wild and Scenic River. Though the glacier-fed water is too cold and the current too strong to swim in, the river creates a beautiful backdrop and soothing sounds for campers.

Tall, old growth forest provide abundant shade for campers and habitat for black bears and other wildlife.

Beautiful little camp area at the end of the dirt road. This campground offers peace and quiet because its at the end of the dirt and gravel road. The road is slow, as its full of ruts and potholes and washboard. The campground was well maintained and offered large campsites. There wasn't really any river access. This area also was a good spot for day hikes.

I really enjoyed this small rustic camp ground, it was an adventure getting down the gravel road but worth it to be so remote and close to trails

We always enjoy our time at this quiet campground. Sites are well-maintained as are toilets and garbage.

The cost of camping continues to rise. For the price paid to camp in an area with zero services, no hookups or water where is the money going????? Why is a contract company being paid to run the campgrounds if they are not keeping them serviceable. Road to the campground was horrible with many very deep potholes as well as miles of washboard which rattle your vehicle the entire time. The tent pads are very neglected with rotted timbers and large roots growing in them. For the amount of money they charge to camp they should at least be grading the road and installing new timbers and sand for the tent pads. A few of the picnic tables should have been replaced probably 10 years ago, they are rotting. Would be good to the money being spent by people used to actually maintain things.

Perfect campground if you are looking for a secluded weekend. Waterfall hikes and river access within walking distance. Gravel fire service road to the campsite is an hour long and filled with potholes, so make sure your vehicle is capable.

Very quiet and clean campground. Our 17' trailer fit well in our site. All sites have large and well maintained tent pads. No water available! Also no great river or creek access that we could.
