Anglers and river enthusiasts will find direct access to the Skagit River at Howard Miller Steelhead County Park, where salmon runs create seasonal fishing opportunities. The campground accommodates RVs up to 45 feet with electric and water hookups alongside walk-in tent sites positioned on a grassy area near the riverbank. Sites feature gravel surfaces with level parking, though the waterfront tent sites offer the most direct river access behind a row of foliage.
The campground operates more like an RV park than a rustic camping experience, with paved roads throughout and limited privacy between sites. Kayko S. notes that during salmon runs, "You can hear them jumping and splashing from your camp site." Tree coverage provides some separation between sites, and playground equipment serves families with children. A boat ramp on the property allows water access for fishing excursions.
Shower facilities require quarters, with $1 covering four minutes of hot water. The bathhouse uses code entry and campers report clean conditions, though hooks are located outside shower stalls. WiFi reaches throughout the campground, and cell service remains strong for most carriers. Kathleen D. observed that "Daylight revealed all the charms of this beauty tucked along the river" with waterfront sites being "particularly special."
The campground sits 20 miles from North Cascades National Park entrance, making it a convenient base for park exploration. A local bar and restaurant operates across the road, and the nearby town of Concrete offers additional dining options. Campers seeking more options can explore places to camp near Rockport or consider Chom's RV Campground further east along Highway 20.
Reservations are recommended during salmon season and summer months when waterfront sites fill quickly.
