Just an update on the campground. There is no bridge restriction on Exit 47 anymore. I did not realize that and followed the advice of a previous reviewer and got off on Exit 53 and came in the back way with a very large rig. It was not fun. The campground has 50 amp service in 029, the campsite we are currently occupying. I don't know about rest of sites. I was only expecting 15 amp service so was pleasantly surprised. Very isolated but the hosts are friendly and helpful. There is considerable road noise but not objectionable when inside the camper. North Bend is a wonderful scenic mountain town with all the supplies you will need at normal city prices. Will stay again, but it is not big rig friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is probably one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have stayed in. It is quiet and away from the beaten path. The campsites are large and spread out enough for a little privacy. It is so much fun playing in the river and using the natural "watersides" formed by the river. There is an easy hike to Franklin falls just up from the campground. Only 20 minutes back into North Bend for supplies. Don't miss out on this campground! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We are staying here for a week. A couple of nights we will be spending in a room in downtown Seattle. I think otherwise a week here would be too much relaxation for us. The park is deep in the woods and was made to seem even deeper for us because we had to take the long way in due to the bridge that has weight restrictions at exit 47. Our 39ft 5th wheel is at the maximum length of anything I would want to take in here. Be sure your water tanks are full and holding tanks empty before you before you get there. There are many popular and beautiful hiking trails here to explore. The is not even a satellite signal to be had here because of the trees. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Denny Creek is a very unusual yet very nice campground. It has 11 electrical sites, which is unusual in Washington for a Forest Service campground. There are three hikes that start at the campground and several more just a few miles away. Snoqualmie Pass, with a hotel, restaurant, gas station and small store is only three miles away. The campground is set in the tall timber with very good privacy between the sites. The one drawback, which is the other unusual fact about the campground, is that it is in the middle of I-90. The eastbound lanes are about 500 feet above the campground and the westbound lanes are across the river again about 500 feet up. You can't see the traffic but you do hear it. Not bad but constant. If you have a site on the river, the sounds of the river may drown out all but the loudest vehicles. There is no dump station on site. The campground is very well maintained and would have been the perfect "10" with the natural beauty and recreational activities it offers but for the traffic noise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was just a place to spend the night along the way. It wasn't bad at all. Management was friendly and we felt secure and off the beaten path amongst the trees. There were a few long term shady looking units, but you could easily find a spot that wasn't next to one. It's a small park and for just a night or two to stay along the way or a place to stay and go hit the outlet mall it served it's purpose. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
