Silver Fir Campground

Wonderfully located campsite near Baker. Quiet and well place campsites along river. More spacious than other campsites in area. Small and peaceful campsite away from RV's and such. Camp host - Lydia - very helpful. Although other sites in area were very nice as well, we preferred the smaller and more intimate nature of Silver Fir. Would be our first choice on the margin in the future.

This is THE MOST beautiful campsite we've ever stayed at, that's why I absolutely hate leaving this 3 star review. Everything about our stay here was wonderful, except for the terrible campground host! We stayed here for 2 nights and upon arrival the host "greeted" us and made it abundantly clear that since we had a travel trailer, that if we had a generator we could only use it from 8-6pm, which is not what the Mt.Baker forest supervisor office had told me, they assured us we could use it until 10pm. The reason we were in the area is because we were getting married the next day and would be using the generator for a few things in the morning to get ready. Around 9am the next day, the host stopped by the campsite and made the very rude comment that he couldn't hear the river over our generator and wish people wouldn't come there with them. Our generator is probably one of the most quiet ones we've ever heard, that's the reason we bought it. But the story doesn't end there. Around 2pm, the host comes by AGAIN and very rudely said that he couldn't take his nap with the sound of our generator running. The whole interaction with him was awful! His presence and his backhanded comments really ruined our stay. GET HIM OUT OF THERE! We would return if it wasn't for him! On another note, we stayed at site #11 and it was perfect for our 19ft travel trailer, but you probably couldn't fit anything much bigger. We had access to the river from our site and it was absolutely beautiful!

Our trip was awesome! We went with a couple families, and the connected campsites were perfect! The camp host was nice, and the river was gorgeous! It’s close distance to the mountains was really nice for day hikes! The only downside was the fire ban, but we were able to make s’mores over a camp stove so it was all good 👍. Definitely recommend staying here!

A large, peaceful, well laid-out series of campsites at this campground, many of which border a river. Most of them feel very private and are quite spacious. Pit toilets and potable well water is available. There is a camphost on site that you can purchase firewood from. Reservations are recommended and can be done online. That said, there are a small number (5, I believe) of first come, first served sites available. When I went camping on Tuesday and Wednesday, the entire campground was full by 5pm. The area is also quite close to the wide array of hikes that Mt Baker Forest has to offer, although many of them require drives down rough, gravel roads to reach. Overall, I had a great time here and would gladly come back.

TIP to anyone that makes reservations and shows up at this campground when its busy season. Mark your reservation site with something. When we arrived there was no camp host so we drove to our site and saw it was empty and thought nothing of it. We took off to do a hike. 6 hrs later returned and it was around 8pm. The campsite was occupied by someone else. We located the camp host and were able to sort out the situation. However for anyone that reserves and finds themselves in such a situation like ours. Make sure you mark your campsite with a tent or chair. Otherwise like previous reviewers have mention. Lots of bugs right now. Especially mosquitos and the mice are around too.
