Very pretty little campground, and of the nine sites some of them are pull through and could handle relatively large RVs (I'm just in a pop-up camper trailer).

Very pretty little campground, and of the nine sites some of them are pull through and could handle relatively large RVs (I'm just in a pop-up camper trailer). I'm here on a Wednesday in late June and only three spots are taken at sunset. Note that it being on a placid creek / marsh, the mosquitoes are definitely going to be out to greet you in the evening, in late spring and early summer especially!

This is a DNR campground, not BLM. Washington Discover Pass required. I've stayed a couple times since I found the site closed the hard way. They take good care of this small campground, the pit toilets are clean and serviced regularly. A few of the sites would be challenging for a bigger camper, some are fairly easy. However I did accidentally scrape a tree with my awning just driving through, so keep a close eye on the side clearances through a couple tight spots. We have seen eagles, lots of other critters a even a black bear one time. I see they are working on providing water which would be a nice addition, and also a camp host site has been taking shape over a couple years. Like many DNR sites we enjoy, locals seem to move in and stay for a bit. Hunters also take over big parts of the camp in season, run generators and all the usual hunter type activities. Locals also "cruise" the campground in trucks and ATV's looking for what, I don't know but I've never had anything stolen. My favorite Skookum Creek fellow camper story was one perfect Sunday morning I was sitting out enjoying coffee and the glory of this picturesque, quiet spot and another RV started blaring evangelical type propaganda over their speakers. I politely asked them to keep that to themselves and they graciously complied :) The town of Newport is down the river for supplies. You can hear the road, but it's never bothered me.

Um, yeah, pulled up to give this place a try. Showed open on the BLM web site, but it was closed for 5 days to replace outhouses. No sign at the drive, and guess what - no room to turn around.
Way to go, BLM.
