About this campground

Silver Fir Campground is a smaller campground, offering sites to accommodate tents and RVs. A group picnic shelter for up to 25 people is also available.

Groceries, firewood and other conveniences are available 20 minutes away in the nearby community of Glacier.
The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest showcases rugged peaks, sparkling alpine lakes and old-growth forests, providing visitors with unique and surprising landscapes. Mt. Baker, the most prominent feature of the Mt. Baker Wilderness, dominates the landscape on a clear day. Rising to an elevation of 10,781 feet, the active volcano is perpetually snow-capped and mantled with an extensive network of creeping glaciers. Mt. Baker's summit, Grant Peak, is a 1,300-foot-deep mound of ice, which hides a massive volcanic crater. Wildlife in the area includes mountain goats traversing the higher elevations to squirrels and black bears in the forests. Migratory birds and native fish find ample habitat in the varied ecosystems as well.
The campground provides a prime location for hiking and picnicking in summer and early fall and is a non-motorized Sno-Park in the winter. Hikers and backpackers are especially fortunate to have access to a variety of trails near the campground and in the surrounding Mt. Baker Wilderness area. Trails accessed from Hannegan Pass Road, less than a mile from the campground, lead into stunning scenery in the Mt. Baker Wilderness and North Cascades National Park.
What campers say
Silver Fir Campground sits along the North Fork Nooksack near Mt. Baker, offering riverfront, tree-lined sites that many find peaceful, private, and spacious. Facilities are minimal: pit/drop toilets and potable water pumps (no showers). A camp host is onsite and sells firewood; reservations are recommended though a few first-come sites exist. Expect mountain access to nearby hikes, often requiring drives on rough roads. Tradeoffs include generator and RV noise in the evenings and seasonal pests—visitors have reported mosquitoes and occasional mice—so secure food and be prepared for rustic conditions.
