Great experience!

@GiannaH1C13304 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #25

Camp host was very helpful. Jeremy? Our site would not work for us so he was able to relocate us to another site nearby. He also had great info about area and the bathrooms ( pit toilets) were amine clean and well stocked

@TanaG5F9E5904F · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #18

I believe that the bathrooms near the our campground should have been fixed before the season opened instead of having them out of service when the campground is so busy. This was not new damage so it really didn't make sense

@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #14

Stunning place! Will definitely be back!

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Jul 16, 2025 at Campsite #1

Love this campground. Peaceful and beautiful, and close to home. A true wilderness experience and we'll worth the effort to get there.

@MollyP6584002 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #6

Beautiful gem of a campground!

@EricaEB95D3946 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #14

Site 14 had downed trees and no tent space. Looked nothing like the picture. We couldn't stay in it and had to move to site 4, which isn't on the water. Disappointed in this campground. Downed trees everywhere! Cut with chainsaw. Fine, but in the way of the campsites. Will not be returning. Host was pleasant. Hard worker.

@DavidH4978786 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #2

Troublesome Creek Campground Rocks!! It's beautiful, peaceful, quiet and well run. We stayed in site #2 in the west loop with great river access. There is a nature trail that leads up Troublesome creek with plenty of old growth trees and the beauty only found in the PNW. We did walk thru the east loop to check out the sites and they all looked great too. One last thing, the fampholst, Jeremy was a nice and friendly guy who took good care of the campground. We plan on returning for another camp trip in the future.

@ScottL9124908 · Camped on Jul 1, 2025 at Campsite #14

Camp host Jeremy was very helpful in getting us situated with our RV . Sites, bathrooms, and garbage bins were all super clean. Check in with host for any questions!

@DellaHC697C30E · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #3

We had an excellent time at Troublesome Creek. Beautiful location, nice hikes, clean campground, Jeremy the host was super nice and most helpful. It was also pleasantly quiet.

@CyndiL8B63D1C6 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #1

This is a very nice quiet campground. It was kept extremely clean by Host Jeremy who came around several times a day. Our labrador loved swimming in the river right out from our campsite. River was a bit loud but hard to complain about that. Lots of birds chirping every morning, we saw lots of butterflies and a few lizards but not a lot of animals other than that in the campground. Very nice place to camp and has great short trails for some light hiking. Everything was kept clean and in good working order. Bathrooms were the cleanest I've seen in a campground. We will definitely be back!

@JanaRDA5100B2A · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #3

This is a beautiful campground at the confluence of Troublesome Creek and the North Fork of the Skykomish River. The water is crystal clear and turquoise blue. The campsites are well maintained and the camp host was very nice and helpful.

@DavidS3927304 · Camped on Sep 9, 2024 at Campsite #6

Well cared for and in moderately good shape. You can tell that host takes pride in taking care of one of the Cascades best camps

@RegenW91430FAA · Camped on Aug 28, 2024 at Campsite #14

amazing campground, right by the creek. private area and very serene and well kept.

@RonaldS5698545 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #6

The Campground is located miles from the main highway and it is a very nice place to be away from traffic. The troublesome creek is very beautiful. The campsite we selected was very good for our outing.

@SharonW8755039 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #6

The sites are small; only fit up to 4 person tents comfortably. Many sites do not have tent platforms. Most of the sites are also quite close together (not much privacy). The creek/river is beautiful as well as the trail. Bathrooms were clean, but smelly. No campfires were allowed while we were there, but a group camping on the beach beyond site #10 had a fire (we smelled it, then spotted it down river). It was very windy and flames could have easily spread to the nearby trees/shrubs with the strong wind. Camp host was no where to be found to report it.

@AliceAC21997B9 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #24

Beautiful campground with some sites close to the river and others higher up in the trees. There's an easy 1-mile loop to hike along the river with two bridge crossings. Knocked down to 3 stars because 1) mosquitos (we were the furthest from the river, and still a big problem) and 2) our campsite was meant to fit 6 people, but barely fit 1 tent and had no other flat space for chairs. Plus, this campsite has pit toilets and no water supply (would have been fine without the other two issues).

@ValeriaT287405 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #1

Very beautiful place to stay. Our spot was number 1 right next to the river. Very nice trail 5 min ago. Easy access to the river.No water onsite to do dishes or drinking but very clean restrooms.The site said they didn't have wood for sale on the site so we drove 30 minutes to the next camping site to our surprise when we came back they in fact had a lot of sale $10 usd each

@AnthonyR794985 · Camped on Jun 18, 2024 at Campsite #10

This campground in general and this site in particular are both great. I give this 4 stars out of 5 only because this site is a walk-in and you cannot access it directly with a vehicle. I booked it because myself and the others in my group sleep in our cars at campgrounds like this an we chose this site specifically because the site details said it allowed more than one car. However, nowhere in the site details does it say that it is a walk-in site. The parking lot isn't far and we still had a great time but be aware that this site and the other 3 or 4 immediately next to it are all walk-ins.

@Anastasiy02857 · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #4

Beautiful destination. Enjoyed hiking around and fishing in the river. 100% recommend.

@RobertL7452920 · Camped on Sep 12, 2023 at Campsite #18

This is a nice remote campground along a beautiful scenic river. Close access to many popular trails. Its main drawback is that since the main road to it is washed out and under reconstruction, one must go the long way around on bumpy dirt logging roads.Due to its remoteness, maintenance at the camp is minimal. The toilet paper gets restocked and the garbage collected, but nonessential things are neglected. My reserved sign at the camp never showed my name. It was updated for the weekend visitors. The roof is damaged on one corner of one restroom, it does not affect the interior.Camps 01-04 are sunny riverside camps. 18,19, and 20 are more forested, on the riverside, but have a steeper access to the river. We could stand on large boulders and watch the salmon swimming in the river. We saw a number of dippers as well.

@JeanetteD86E58 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #3

This campsite was great! We really like campsites like this off the grid to relax and this was beautiful and calm. There are a few thing, that might help you prepare for this campground. 1) There are mice and they get into the cars despite doors being closed, so keep all the dry foods and toilet paper (apparently they eats that too) in a mouse proof container. 2) River side is just lots of rocks, so if your going with kids, prepare yourself that it may not be as relaxing by the river with all the climbing. 3) The names and dates on the campsites did not match the actual bookings. Our name was also on a campground, we didn't book and other guests arrived to see their spot with a different name.

@Francisco490CE · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #23

Very Nice spot for a family camping trip. The creek is very close to the campsite and there is a nice little loop to walk around with a lovely view.

@RedmondJ6EDE8A · Camped on Aug 7, 2023 at Campsite #9

Had thePlace to ourselves! Very quiet. Beautiful walk up Troublesome Creek

@RebeccaF466555 · Camped on Aug 1, 2023 at Campsite #8

Our campsites (8,9,10) are perfect especially if you have small children. Its far enough away from the river to be safe, but close enough for fun! The sites and toilets were clean, and the trash receptacles were emptied regularly. There was no water, but I was notified in advance of the no water situation. The forest ranger should be given kudos for doing a great job maintaining these campsites. There was even bundles of firewood for use at the beginning of the campsite loop. We will continue our family reunion camping tradition here. Thanks so much.

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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
