Tinkham Campground sits beside the South Fork Snoqualmie River one mile from I-90 Exit 42. The current Recreation.gov inventory contains 42 public standard sites that permit RVs and three tent-only sites; management records are excluded. Public RV dimensions vary by site, with selected sites publishing lengths up to 46 feet. The campground has vault toilets and hand-pump drinking water but no electrical hookups or dump station. Recreation.gov warns that the water's mineral content affects its color and taste and recommends bringing drinking water.
The campground lies in the forested South Fork Snoqualmie valley west of Snoqualmie Pass. Nearby trails and river access change with snow, flooding, and seasonal maintenance.
Practical guidance assembled from current operator maps, park pages, and clearly identified community observations.
