There are several with new ones built all the time. There are major ones about 3 miles in where the trail gets close to the river, next major one is at Canyon Creek 6 mi. very large camp often filed with work parties, and anther at 9 mi just before the Miners Creek junction. There is a dry camp about a mile before Miners Creek and another before Canyon Creek. There is a small camp 2 tent 3 mi. up Miners Creek trail at junction with Miners Cabin trail. Next good camp at Image lake hikers camp. A large camp where the PCT crosses Suiattle on South side lots of thru hikers stop there. I was there just two days ago.

Canyon Creek camp is full of mice, though I didn't notice any in my camp at the far side of the bridge a few years ago (doesn't mean they weren't there, but the near side - oy vey!)

It always surprises me how few really great camps exist on that beautiful river. I love to get out in November or even December before the snow flies and generally go somewhere along a river and enjoy some outdoor/fire/camp time and inevitably go to the Olympics where river camping and great camps abound. Several years ago after a traverse, I was hiking along the Suiattle, looking for some great camps and found few except the ones MC cites (Canyon creek is pretty nice...) so if you find a cool one let me know!
