Boardman Group Campground is located about 8 miles east of the Verlot Public Service Center along scenic Mountain Loop Scenic Byway through Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The campground is located on the banks of the tranquil Stillaguamish River, in close proximity to several wilderness areas.
In addition to being a prime location for hiking, fishing, picnicking and horseback riding in summer and early fall, visitors can take advantage of skiing and snowshoeing in the winter months.
Anglers enjoy fishing from the gently-flowing Stillaguamish River, which sustains populations chinook, coho, chum, pink and sockeye salmon, steelhead trout, sea-run cutthroat and bull trout.
The campground offers just one site, making it a perfect setting for groups of up to 35 people. RVs are welcome. A small amount of traffic noise from the adjacent highway can be heard, but the river helps mask it.
The site is equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets are available, but there is no drinking water. Visitors must bring their own supply.
The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest offers visitors the chance to explore the region's rugged peaks, scenic rivers, and interesting wildlife within the forest and surrounding designated wilderness areas.
Visitors will find unique ecosystems along the banks of the Stillaguamish River. Old-growth forests of cedar, fir and hemlock line the wide, gently-flowing river and tower over trails winding through moss-covered rocks.
On a clear day visitors will see Mt. Baker, the most prominent feature of the Mt. Baker Wilderness Area. 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.
Undeveloped wilderness, clean streams and diverse forests provide important habitat for wildlife, including birds, amphibians, reptiles and more rare species such as lynx, moose, wolves, and wolverine. Grizzly bear sightings have been confirmed in the Cascade region, though black bears are more common.

I had a really great time I went there with my best friend and her dog we went swimming in the river and did a little fishing I will definitely be going back
Pretty little place. 3 stars because it's a narrow strip of land right next to the road. I didn't see any kind of river beach, just a steep drop into the river, not so sure I'd bring younger kids here. Maybe it's better in the summer and the river runs low
Forest Service reservation campground which when first built in the 60s was much larger & of course free back then. Over the years the river has eaten away at most of the campground but there are like 4 or 5
Good grass shady sites. Along it is a huge river bar. Fishing & deep water swimming if its really hot outside otherwise the water is a tad cold. Much colder in may & june than late July or August. The is one primitive outhouse but its built of cement. The riverbar streches forever it seems & you may find day timers or campers on it but they shouldnt be on your beach. Surrounded by mountains its beautiful. Bisit forest service to enquire renting for group camping or really even a normal family would love it & the rate is reasonable. I dont knkw what it is now but when i was there before it was like $175 others are less
A group camp on the side of the river. There are 4 tent pads and one or two extra small sites for more tents. The tent pads are well maintained and comfortable. There is only 1 pit toilet, so if you’re planning for a crowd make note! The river is beautiful and lovely for a dip, swim or for fishing! Wish there was a better gathering place for a large group, but a wonderful campground nonetheless.
