Beckler River Campground

The washed out portion of Icicle Creek Road is not yet open, so we had to seek another site yet again.
We found some campsites together at Beckler River Campground off Highway 2 near the town of Skykomish.
Here's a review of the site:

The Beckler campground has large campsites that are big rig friendly, but most of the sites are isolated making tent camping fun. Many of Beckler's sites are located on the Beckler River. Both the camproad and many of the camp spurs are paved giving the campground a nice clean look. 40% of the campsites are first come - first serve, but all sites are available to the walk camper if they are not reserved. The campground is quiet as compared to it more popular but louder neighbor, Money Creek. Beckler is about two miles away from the main highway and about three miles from the little train depot/ski town of Skykomish. While there you might try out one of the old time hotel restaurants that are popular in the area. Access to the Beckler River is easy and there is plenty of shade to keep off the mid summer sun.
