Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Welcome to Waterfall Camp where you'll enjoy a breathtaking and unique view of the "sunset Waterfall" located on the South Fork Skykomish River in Index WA , in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains, off of Highway 2. find more pictures on Instagram @waterfall_camp This land used to be the property of the local market owner. From there you have a pristine and unique view of the sunset falls, where The Dept of Fish and Game built a fish ladder. You might spot some wildlife including eagles, deers and salmon during the Fall. Don't forget your camera, binoculars and camping chairs to take in the awesome views. Local places to hike include Wallace Falls, Sunset Falls, Lake Serene, Bridal Veil Falls trail ( literally 5 minutes away from us), or maybe you like rock climbing, white water rafting, kayaking or fishing. All are available if you drive to Index; located just minutes away. Located at the very end of a private community area (you will need the code) , this place offers a very peaceful setting, including the rushing and relaxing sound of the waterfall and the occasional whistle of a train. Approximately 55 miles east of Seattle and 25 miles west of Steven's Pass. We welcome, tents and camper vans, small to medium groups of campers.Welcome to Waterfall Camp where you'll enjoy a breathtaking and unique view of the "sunset Waterfall" located on the South Fork Skykomish River in Index WA , in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains, off of Highway 2. A medium-sized and private setup, with shared access to the river water and breathtaking mountain views, this is a wonderful getaway to kick back and relax after your day of adventures, or just to escape the city rush for a day or 2.  The campsite is easily accessible but an SUV or AWD vehicle is recommended under snow conditions, the camp has a couple of trees to navigate around to access the best spots.  Multiple firepits, 4 wood chairs, toilets, and 2 picnic tables are available.  There is no running water or electricity. Be sure to bring your tent, firewood, and plenty of water.  You might spot some wildlife including eagles, deers and salmon during the Fall.

Gorgeous spot! Very well maintained and the views were amazing. Host was very responsive and helpful. Will definitely be back to hit up one of the many, many trails in the area. My friends and I did the Wallace Falls and Wallace Lake loop trail.

Lovely site (even during the rain!)
We enjoyed our time at the Waterfall camp! There are several platforms to set up your tent, but we enjoyed staying closer to the fire and ended up moving under the trees because it was raining for 7+ hours and into the night. Lots of space to move around and our dogs enjoyed the walk down to the water. Having a bathroom on site was lovely. Super easy directions and would definitely love to go back again when it’s summertime and no rain!

One of the best camping experiences
This little private camp site was perfect! You can see all the love and care that has gone into making this site comfortable and fun! Two different fire pits, wood splitter, Adirondack chairs, 2 picnic tables, platforms and open areas for tents, etc. A bathroom area with 2 very clean port o' potties, solar lights throughout that help during the night, and cute decor with even a little free library! Our absolute favorite part of the site was the view, you get a front row seat to a stunning waterfall and river with mountains and trees, almost looks unreal how beautiful it is! The only thing we couldn't easily find was a way down to the water, but it was too cold to swim anyway. The site is in a gated private community and the keypad didn't work, but it was easy to find the lockbox with a clicker. There was a good amount of space for our 2 cars in the site, but just be careful on the gravel/dirt road, it gets pretty bumpy and narrow in some spots. Hosts were wonderful, great with communication and their instructions were easy to follow. We will absolutely want to return, especially since it looks like the hosts are building a little staircase down to a little swing bench and we want to see what new things they do! Thank you so much for such a perfect way to end our summer!! ❤️

Really enjoyed my time here! It was small and private. The views are obviously one of a kind. Used the small trail to go down to the river and enjoyed the day by the water. Saw lots of fish jumping around. Train is kinda loud at night so if you’re a light sleeper it will wake you up. Saw a bear as well my second day so be sure to have some bear mace and properly package up food during your stay. Hope to come back with friends some day!
