Located 12 miles east of North Bend Tinkham Campground is easily accessible from the Seattle area. The campground has 47 sites in two loops stretching along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River. The camp sites are in a dense stand of second growth mixed conifers including hemlock and cedar. Maple and alder trees are scattered throughout, along with ferns and other undergrowth, giving the campground a "woodsy" feel and providing good to excellent privacy. About a third of the sites are within view of the river. Only the Snoqualmie River separates the campground from Interstate 90 - so some traffic noise may be audible above the river sounds. There are vault toilets, hand pumps for water, and garbage bins. Some trails for hiking and fishing are within close driving distance.

This is a well maintained nature trail meandering through lovely deep green forest to a beaver pond. There you can observe the goings on at the pond from an overlook built over the edge of the water. To get to the trail, go to the far east end of the one-way road between camp sites 8 and 10 and follow the trail It is about a .5 mile round trip.
