Snow Creek Backcountry Camping

Gorgeous weekend at Snow Lakes! We camped here for 3 nights as we explored The Enchantments and surrounding area. The lake has a bunch of awesome campsites in the forest or on the beach. The toilets are some of the worse I’ve seen but we make do. Recommend hiking up to the upper lake to get the nicest camp spots.

We camped here for 3 nights as we explored The Enchantments and surrounding area. The lake has a bunch of awesome campsites in the forest or on the beach. The toilets are some of the worse I’ve seen but we make do. Recommend hiking up to the upper lake to get the nicest camp spots. There’s a lot of granite rock ledges that make the lakes so enjoyable and pretty to swim in. Honestly this is my favorite beach in Washington State. The lakes are beautiful! I highly encourage anyone visiting to spend time exploring the lake. First time I went I stayed in the same spot the whole time but this time, I kept finding better and better spots to hang out! Too bad the hike here is so long or else I’d come more often! 8 miles round trip from parking. Hike is HARD. Lots of uneven terrain and you have to climb boulders at times but totally worth the hike!

Depending on the season and where you want to start your Enchantments adventure, you could either use this as a start or an end. Of course you could also do various day hikes from here too. There is a pit toilet available, lots of information about trails on the info board. I would also like to point out that the parking lot is fairly spacious but can get really busy as this is a prime location...

I would also like to point out that the parking lot is fairly spacious but can get really busy as this is a prime location. Even if you do not do a hike and just walk around the parking lot the views from the valley and the flowing stream especially at sunset or sunrise is quite amazing. I highly suggest checking it out! Happy trails!

Honestly, one of the best campgrounds I’ve ever been to. Self check in at the bulletin board, they take all forms of payments even tap to pay. $45/night for residents and $55/night for non-residents. The kiosk prints a ticket that you keep in your windshield. The gates to the campground close at 9pm, which means you can’t come or go after that time. Bathrooms, dump station, dumpsters, fire pit, pi... Honestly, one of the best campgrounds I’ve ever been to.

Bathrooms, dump station, dumpsters, fire pit, picnic tables. This place has it all and the views are unbelievable. *there’s also free day use for anyone, including your vehicle and/or rigs!

An absolute gem of a campground. I 100% recommend staying here, and more than one night! They do have a reservation system but if needed, also offers a good amount of first come first served sites. The hosts were on point and making sure the area was safe. We had a miscommunication regarding our site for the 1st night but the hosts helped clear it up and we went on our merry way.

We saw eagles, all kinds of marine life, it was amazing 👏

Plenty of spaces. Some you can reserve and other first come first serve. Many of the reserved ones were taken the whole weekend with no one in them. The bathrooms were pleasantly clean and nice. Even the toilet paper was stronger than most campgrounds. The camp hosts were nice. Lots of dogs. They have big open fields great for dogs or kids. They have a playgrounds that was very nice. A basketball... Plenty of spaces. Some you can reserve and other first come first serve. Many of the reserved ones were taken the whole weekend with no one in them. The bathrooms were pleasantly clean and nice. Even the toilet paper was stronger than most campgrounds. The camp hosts were nice. Lots of dogs. They have big open fields great for dogs or kids. They have a playgrounds that was very nice. A basketball court volleyball court and horseshoe tossing. Definitely check out tongue point. Super cool to sit at. Most campsites are level and have a large place to park. Lots of trailer spaces too. Multiple bathrooms throughout the grounds. Look out for raccoons!!🦝

This camp ground is amazing, I have never had a bad time at Salt Creek camp ground . Reservations go fast and you should reserve when the campground reservation system opens for the season if you want to go between April and September. They do have 15 front row first come , first serve spots. My absolute favorite time to camp is October . The camp ground is not busy and you can explore the shore a... This camp ground is amazing, I have never had a bad time at Salt Creek camp ground . Reservations go fast and you should reserve when the campground reservation system opens for the season if you want to go between April and September. They do have 15 front row first come , first serve spots. My absolute favorite time to camp is October . The camp ground is not busy and you can explore the shore and the bunkers with very few people . The ocean view is breath taking and the playground is perfect for the littles . You can walk forever and never get bored. Please note when camping after September the water at RV sites are shut off for the season . Potable water is available . Full hook ups are not available at any site but they do have an easy to use and access septic dump station . The raccoons are bold here so keep your food and garbage sealed up tight .
