Sulphur Creek Campground

Can a campground redefine what it means to get away from it all? Sulphur Creek Campground in Darrington, Washington, does just that, offering a truly secluded camping experience amidst the pristine beauty of the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Surrounded by towering old-growth Douglas firs and situated at the confluence of the Suiattle River and Sulphur Creek, this site harmonizes natural serenity with rugged charm.

This primitive campground, ideal for those seeking refuge from the bustle of daily life, features 20 spacious campsites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings. You won’t find drinking water here, so plan accordingly, but vault toilets are available. Every site is enveloped in dense forest and offers the soothing sound of rushing water from the river or creek, enhancing the immersion in nature. Hiking enthusiasts will appreciate direct access to the Suiattle Trail and other nearby paths, which lead into the heart of the North Cascades wilderness. Wildlife sightings and rich opportunities for photography add to its allure.

Located roughly 30 miles from Darrington via State Route 530 and Forest Road 26, Sulphur Creek Campground is an excellent base for weekend escapes or extended stays. While the nearby Suiattle River is too cold for swimming, its designation as a National Wild and Scenic River ensures breathtaking views and a peaceful ambiance. The surrounding forest also invites exploration, with trails offering varying levels of difficulty.
