Snoqualmie River RV Park and Campground

Very helpful and clean. Love coming here! Lots of room and very clean. Love coming here!

FYI… I haven’t stayed yet, but just called the facility because the website appears to be down. Apparently the park has been sold to the county so they can convert it to a water treatment plant. End of October 2015, it will close…

DO NOT STAY HERE!
I recently visited this campsite and had a horrible experience.
I called almost a month in advance to book one of their tent campsites. The woman ay the phone was quite kind and after telling her that we were coming out to play in the river she let me know that she selected the perfect campsite for us in that area.
Upon arriving at the property around 11:45am we were checked into the above mentioned campsite. We arrived at the site and the previous party was still there, looking at the documentation that had been provided at check on we realized that check in wasn’t until 12:30pm. We waited in/​at the car until about 12:45pm before heading back up to the office to report the situation as there was no movement still at the campsite. While waiting we had noticed that other campsites in the area were open. We kindly asked the office to investigate and asked if we could have one of the other open sites but were denied as those were all spoken for. We were promised by the office that they would take care of it and so we decided to spend some time on the river while we waited.
We returned to camp around 5pm to set up our tent and to our dismay, the campsite was still occupied. I made a second trip down to the office and reexplained the situation to another employee who then called the cops on the other campers and asked the cops to please charge the group with trespassing. The cops arrive at the campsite and all hell breaks loose! The other camping party is yelling at the cops that they paid and had a right to be there. The cops leave and the other party and myself make our way to the office (this is my third trip now) and it turns out the other party arrived the previous day and had been given the campsite next to ours. They had complained to the staff that there was no fire ring so the office staff had told the other camping party that they could move to our site and that we would be bumped to the site without a fire pit because we were only there one night.
It was well past 5:30pm and we hadn’t even unpacked the car! We had intended to drive home at this time as we were already leaving the next morning and we hadn’t set up camp or eaten dinner yet. The office staff (there were three office staff members in the office at this time) assured me that I would get a full refund and the possibility of a free night on top of that. Additionally one of the employees allowed us to use theit fire pit for the evening which was quite nice.
I am now being told by the property that they will NOT be refunding the money I paid to stay at this campsite ($ 44) and if I want a free night I have to use it before the end of October this year.
Do not stay here, this property had good location but they are dishonest and its not worth the headache.

Lady at the front desk was really nice! Check in was fast and easy. The camp ground was nice and clean. Bathrooms are worn down and can use an update. Don’t know about wifi. We unplug when we go camping to enjoy family time. Some teens showed up when we were there and the lady at the office came over to have them leave because they were not staying at the camp grounds. Made us feel safe that she was keeping an eye out for everyone. It is by the highway and you can hear it, but we still enjoyed our stay. It’s a nice close place to go for a quick get away!

Not a bad place, but not a great place either. First the good.
Spaces are plentiful and large. Most are nice and even. The roads thru it are paved and we’ll kept, and the grounds are neat and tidy. Fair amount of long timers so it’s quiet and peaceful. Golf course on one side and a meandering river on the other make for a nice setting. And at $ 34 you can’t beat the price.
And the not so good. Most of the spaces have no sewer hookup, so my tent trailer with shower, sink and toilet, but no holding tanks, was in a pickle. They advertise wifi but none was to be had during my visit. There is no store to purchase even the most basic items although town is 2 minutes away. The bathrooms are old and run down but they do their best to maintain them. What they really need is a complete overhaul.
Overall, for the price, it’s a nice enough place. Near North Bend and the outlet mall. Snoqualmie Falls is also nearby. We’ll probably visit again. It’s the kind of place that makes a good fall back plan if your first choice is not available.

Made a reservation a few months before coming so I could have a pull thru RV site next to the river. As a woman traveling alone, I specifically mentioned a privacy issue. Came in tired and the woman in the office kept talking about a $ 5 overcharge. I said I really didn’t care, may I please just have my site number. Pulled into a cramped site between two «full-​timers» the one was sitting on his couch leering out the door between all his boy toys, including a German Shepard not on a leash.
Pulled on thru, enter back to the office and explained I didn’t feel safe in that site especially since half the campground was empty. She sent me to a back in so again I went back to the office. She says she didn’t know I needed a pull thru. I said look at what I am driving & im toeing a car and I originally told you I was leaving early in the morning.
Of course her response was «fine, what site do you want?»
I’ll take 77 that is a pull thru with no one around it.
What a pain in the butt, necessitating a stiff drink.
Beautiful setting and grounds are well kept. But I think there is a real seedy element living here full time.
Wouldn’t come back, too bad, convenient to Seattle.
Oh, there is also lots of road noise from highway on other side of river.

We won’t be going back. Tolt Macdonald is a much nicer campground and you won’t save money staying here. We paid $ 30 a night for a tent site. We had people constantly walking through our camp site to get to the lake. The camp grounds are dirty and you have very little privacy. I was shocked to run into at tweaker that was waiting for the shower. She proceeded to talk to me while I showered. I ran into that same tweaker around 3am when I woke up to use the restroom. I was greeted by a dog barking and approaching me as I opened the restroom door. The tweaker lady was there to tell me «sorry, my cat followed me in here» your cat??? It was clearly a medium/​large dog. After I reluctantly entered the stall to use the restroom I discovered lots of disturbing writing on the stall door and walls. This was new writing that wasn’t there earlier in the evening and the tweaker had just come out of that stall. While I was using the toilet, I heard the tweaker lady talking with a man. I had seen this man waiting in a car for her the day she was anxiously awaiting the shower. It made me uncomfortable hearing them talking since I was wondering if he was also in the restroom with us. As I was leaving I saw the tweaker lady trying to get her dog in the shower. I could not see past the shower curtain… to know if that man was in there or it was just the tweaker lady and her Dog. This campground looks and feels trashy.

The stars are mostly for the convenient location. Took about an hour from work to get here for a get-​away weekend. No one was in the office when we arrived, but we had an envelop on the door with our name, so we knew where to take our trailer. They have power and modem/​phone hook ups at all the trailer sites, but no wifi. We have a small tear-​drop trailer, so the power is nice, but wifi would be helpful.
We set up the trailer, then went off to have dinner. When we came back, we discovered the problem and reason for no more stars. Both sets of restrooms were LOCKED! Still no one in the office or private residence. Luckily, the nice people in the LARGE RV next to us let us use their bathroom.
In the morning, we checked again at the office, only to realize there is a note saying the normal woman is away, and the facility is being checked by someone else… just not today.
We were planning on spending two nights here, but I am not seeing that as likely right now.

Well… I’ll just say this is not a nice place. The staff after I found her, was quite rude. The facilities were really beat up looking. I’m not sure if it was a storm or what… I had to leave.

The grounds are adequate as previously posted. Sites have electricity and water. Dump station on prem. BUT the restrooms remain in the same disgusting state as previously posted some time ago. Still using a hose and pinesol for cleaning. However no amount of cleaning can remove the disgusting smell of the running water at this campground. It smells of rust and rotten eggs so after showering one felt dirty. We will never stay here again. We camped in a travel trailer.

All the amenities of a state campground at 2x the price. Bathrooms give instructions on how to double flush and showers do not drain

In general it’s a pretty nice location along the river. The sites (both RV and camping) are adequate, although not particularly private. If you have a small rig or are camping, it would probably be bothersome.
The biggest drawback we encountered was the condition of the restroom and shower facilities. There are literally only 2 showers each for M & W, in what is a reasonably large campground. The bathrooms are filthy and we could barely bring ourselves to use them. Unfortunately we were dry camped and did not have a choice. The Park washes the restrooms literally by hosing them down with water and Pine Sol. I can only guess how long it has been since they have been thoroughly scrubbed down and properly cleaned! Mud and leaves are tracked in as soon as they are done, so it’s perpetually dirty besides. We will not be back unless with a full hookup where we can use our own facilities!

Nice area on the river. Full hookups minus sewer in most sites but they have a dump station.
I’ve stayed there twice. Once off season (Oct) and once in season (Aug). They have a lot of trees but most are not evergreen so they lose their leaves in the winter (deciduous) making it a bit baron in the off season but beautiful in the summer.
The cable TV is pretty good and has HD if you have an HD TV. Just do a cable channel scan on your TV after hooking up. All the national network channels in HD plus many others in HD. They have a good network of wiring as there was good voltage on the AC power lines every time I looked at my Kill-​O-​Watt voltage meter (i.e, above 116 VAC). The WIFI signal was weak where we were but still worked and was available without an extra charge.
They have firepits that are basically truck rims. It’s OK and nice that they allow campfires.
Sites are tight but there are several secluded sites that we saw. If you are going with a group of 2 or more, it doesn’t matter anyway (we had 3 campsites in a row). Staff was friendly. Even the regular long term people staying were fairly friendly (even though we had to ask one of them to turn down their music.).
The area seemed safe. There were a lot of families with children there and a lot of young partiers so it was sometimes noisy, particulaly during our August trip.
We left things on the table and the chairs out over night without any one stealing anything. One in our group accidently left his iPad out on the table all night and it was still there in the morning. Although I wouldn’t recommend leaving your iPad out all-​night unattended .
I wandered over to the bathrooms one time. I will say the bathroom was fifthly and one of the toilets was out of order. The showers (two) were right next to each other and would be a little odd using one if the other were being used at the same time, not to mention it looked dirty. I stuck to using my RV facilities and shower.
They don’t have garbage cans throughout, you have to walk or drive to the central dumpster near the RV sewer dump station.
It’s not perfect but it is OK. I like the trees and amenities (Electricity/​Cable TV/​Water/​WIFI). It was a nice community experience.

We’ve been here twice in the past couple of years with our RV. The first time was in the middle of the night because our RV kept breaking down in the area. They were nice enough to set us up at this time of night. They even towed us to our spot as we couldn’t start the RV up after we arrived. They have all the hook-​ups and a dumping station (? I don’t know what they’re called). They also have public restrooms for those who are tent camping. It is a huge area with lots of space. We’ve never had trouble getting a spot, even in their peak season. The grounds are nice and well maintained. Friendly staff. Right on the river if you wanna float down during warmer season. Close to home, but far enough to feel like you’re getting away from the hustle and bustle. Walking or biking distance to the town for meals at restaurants. We really like this place and plan to visit again.

I would rather eat spoiled meat than spend another night at this place.
Awful site for tent camping. Dogs running wild through camp, peeing on your stuff; people coming and going at all hours of the night; noisy partying well into the night. There are rules but they’re not enforced one iota. The camp sites are so squished together that you are basically camping with everyone else. The tent sites are on the river but the bank is so high that you can’t possibly get down to the shore, much less see it over the brush. Traffic noise such as truckers air brakes all day and night from the nearby highway.
The worst part is the bathrooms are a 10-​minute walk away from half of the tent sites. Need to go in the middle of the night, or take a kid? Put on your hiking shoes — the neighbors’ campsites are so close together that there’s really nowhere else to go other than to the latrines at the other end of the camp (in the middle of the RV park, by the way — crazy given RV’s have their own bathrooms). This place is awful.

AWFUL!
I totally agree with the poster before me. This place seems to be a magnet for gangs of miscrients.
It wouldn’t be half-​bad if they enforced the rules and cleaned up a bit.
To start, the policy states that there is to be one unit per site, max. Yet, the management didn’t seem to mind when the folks next to us rolled in and put up three tents and a canopy… with 6 adults and 4 kids! They managed to «overflow» into our site without a thought about it. Their little dogs kept coming over to our site and taking a dump… thanks.
Also, there seemed to be no enforcement of the «quiet hours.» Some Lynrd Skynrd wannabes with cheap guitars sang at the top of their lungs until almost 2am one night; and another campsite blasted music until midnight… with no recourse from the management.
The bathrooms were not cleaned the entire FOUR DAYS we were there. The same soap wrappers and dirt remained in place from the day we got there, until the day we left. There were bugs and spiders galore in the showers… yuck. Some good citizen finally emptied the bathroom’s trash can into the dumpster by herself the third day we were there. There were also no shower curtains in the women’s bathroom. So, either show the world everything you’ve got, or hope that nobody comes in while you shower.
Also, there seemed to be some shady «regulars» that made the place very creepy. It was one step down from a drung-​dealer-​infested trailor park in some places.
I wouldn’t bother for $ 26 a night… you can probably get a double-​wide in the ghetto and have a better time.

This campground made Beverly Beach seem like the Ritz Carlton.
Granted, they couldn’t have anticipated the Federline Family Reunion that literally ruined our stay in every way, shape, and form… but when squatters roll in at 10pm, steal fire wood, blast music, and dance around a lighter-​fluid fire circle until 6am in an alcoholic, marijuana induced orgy, (oh, with 2 pregnant teenagers and an infant in tow…)
…you’d think the least they could do would be to refund our stay.
(which we spent in our cars)
