Description

Marten Creek is a small group site meant for groups of up to 25 persons, although that would be tight. The campground is located on the Mountain Loop Road about 10 miles east of the Verlot Public Service Center, on the South Fork of the Stillaguamish River where it joins with Marten Creek. The campground is tight along the road on one side and the river on the other. There are three tent pads and three picnic tables plus two separate camping areas around two different firepits. To get in, visit the host or attendant at Gold Basin as you head out to the campground. The host will have a gate key. The campground has an elevation of about 1,420 feet. There is a CXT vault toilet, but no water so bring your own supplies. This group campground is having erosion problems and while normally, I would not recommend this site to tenters due to the noise of the nearby road, there is not much room for more than about three RVs. I do not recommend this campground unless you are familiar with it and want to use it due to its proximity to the water or to use the nearby Marten Creek Trail.
