One of the most picturesque and private riverfront campgrounds I’ve ever experienced on the West Coast. 3 reasons why I’d camp here again in a heartbeat: 1. Lush campsites with fire rings. 2. Location: Perfectly surrounded by Trout Creek and the North Fork of the Skykomish River which makes for surreal camping, epic trout and salmon fishing, and a great site for rafting/kayaking trips. It feels like you’re on an island. Easy location to begin hikes from as well. 3. They even have porto-potties(which makes it easier for the ladies)! Located off hwy 2 past the picturesque town of Index WA and on at the end of the Index-Galena road washout. This private campground is owned and operated by Outdoor Adventure Center right in Index. Reservations are required in advanced with the Outdoor Adventure Center(see link). I’ve stayed here numerous times with family and friends. Highly recommend for family, fishing, hiking, climbing, naturalist, and photographer camping getaways.
