The old growth trees alone are worth it. Beautiful place.

My experience at site 15 was nothing short of excellent. The site offered ample spacebig enough to park a 20ft vehicle (Sprinter Van) sideways on the generous parking padwhich is a huge plus if you're traveling with a larger rig or RV and want easy access between the vehicle and the campsite via a side/slider door. Site 15 doesnt have a view of the river as its blocked by trees but the sound of the river is a nice feature. Views of the river are only steps away.The cleanliness of the facilities really stood out. The vault toilets were exceptionally neat and well-maintained, which added a level of comfort to the stay that many campgrounds unfortunately miss. While there were some mosquitoes buzzing around, the use of citronella candles did a fantastic job keeping them at bay, so you could enjoy the evening without interruptions and bites!The camp hosts deserve a special mention for their courteous and welcoming attitude.Beyond the campsite, the location itself is great for nearby hikes by the river. The kids enjoyed hours of skipping rocks.

It was a bit early for silver for, cold and rainy, but campground and location are the best
@RobertW1226972 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #11
Fabulous campground along the north fork of the Nooksack River. We were in site 11, which, to our opinion, was the best site in this small campground. It was very private and spacious. That said, any site in this beautiful campground would be good. The location also was perfect as it is 20 minutes to Artist Point, one of the most spectacular vistas in the U.S.

Campground host, Lydia was amazing. She accomodated our request to change campsites and was so helpful on how to go about doing that. She is amazing.

Clean campground. Close to MT Baker. Nice spot on the river. It was a peaceful trip.

Booked and paid for a campground online (or so I thought). When we got to the campground, it turned out we booked the picknick tables for day use. Paid $60 for that!! I even got a conformation mail that I reserved a spot for 1 night. Luckily, the ranger on site had another spot available and helped us.

Nice quiet campground. Very clean privys. Nice sites with a great location close to awesome hikes.
@AllysonTA1DC13 · Camped on Jul 18, 2024
Dislikes : lots of mosquitos at our campsite (site #14), likely due to all the overgrown plants around the edges of the site. I also thought the site would have direct access to the river, but only about 3 campsites at Silver Fir Campground had river access. Likes: I liked the short drive to Mt. Baker/ Artist Point.
@KirkR1491056 · Camped on Jul 9, 2024
Quiet to clean campground. The restrooms were particularly clean. Most campsites were right on the Nooksack river.
@MelPC0A9A7DEF1 · Camped on Sep 14, 2023 at Campsite #18
Nice campground in a great location. The campsites are spacious and right on the river. We tent camped and tent camping works well there. The host was a bit out of sorts, but maybe he was just having a bad day.
@MattL5521331 · Camped on Sep 13, 2023 at Campsite #17
Loved the site.
@MelanieG95C0E6 · Camped on Sep 12, 2023 at Campsite #17
Campground was quiet and clean. All good.
@ChrisA3029244 · Camped on Sep 5, 2023 at Campsite #21
I chose Silver Fir only because it was close to our backpacking trailhead (Yellow Aster Butte trail), but what luck to find out that it is a BEAUTIFUL place, and conveniently located to Mt. Baker area trails. Campsites along the N. Fork Nooksack River are beautiful, lots of mature trees and shade. Restrooms were impeccably clean and stocked. We definitely plan to come back to Silver Fir next summer, it's amazing!
@BennettSCCBFDC · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #11
Amazing site at a great campground! Everything is spaced out and site 11 provides easy access to the river. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
@LanceL19154D24 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #12
Very quiet, small campground. Nice river by most campsites. Nice vault toilets. Water spigots. Big trees.
@OleseaWCBF0332 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #5
Beautiful spot and a great campaign area! We had an awesome stay there.
@PamelaR3069613 · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #13
Gorgeous campground, huge beautiful trees, large private sites, clean toilets. Loved it, would return in a heartbeat.
@MarlaW18E36598 · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #4
Small (they lost a few sites due to erosion from winter floods) campground on the Nooksack River close to Mount Baker. Pros: scenic, River, easy to sight see Baker area. Cons: Even if Full sign is up people drive through on the gravel road often- can be noisy and dusty. Pump water very sediment filled this year
@CarlL5F92D145C · Camped on Aug 2, 2023 at Campsite #3
The campground is beautiful and right on the river. Ron the camp host was great!
@DanielleL75117 · Camped on Jul 18, 2023 at Campsite #11
Pro’s site 11: has to be the best camp site!!! Easy access to the water, short walk to fire wood, trash, and drinking water, very private. Absolutely beautiful place to camp. Cons: mosquitoes are horrendous, lots of shrews so keep you car doors shut and food put away.
@ChristinaA0F3C · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #11
Great site! Right by the Nooksack River. Bring bug spray because there are skitos. Camping was awesome!!!
@MarkG5733121 · Camped on Jul 11, 2023 at Campsite #11
Good location, site (11) felt nicely private, easy access to the river. A short drive to Heather Meadows and Artist Point for hiking.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
