Coal Creek Group Camp

Coal Creek Group Camp offers a peaceful, wilderness escape situated along the beautiful Mountain Loop Road in Washington’s Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Nestled at an elevation of 1,564 feet, the campground is uniquely positioned at the confluence of the tranquil Stillaguamish River and the bubbling Coal Creek. The site is surrounded by majestic old-growth forest, providing a lush, natural backdrop for those looking to immerse themselves in the Pacific Northwest landscape.

As a federal campground managed by the USFS, this site is designed for rustic, self-sufficient camping. The facilities are simple, featuring vault toilets and fire rings at each site. Because there are no utility hookups available, visitors should come prepared for dry camping. The area is exceptionally well-suited for groups, families, and tent campers who prefer a more rugged, back-to-basics outdoor experience.

The campground serves as an excellent basecamp for year-round recreation. In the warmer months, guests can take advantage of nearby fishing access and local hiking trails. During the winter, the location transforms into a gateway for snowshoeing and skiing enthusiasts. Best of all, this scenic group site is available at no cost, making it a fantastic destination for those seeking an affordable group getaway.
