Best Glamping near Arlington, WA
Kayak Point County Park and River Meadows Park house exceptional glamping accommodations that blend comfort with natural surroundings. Both parks feature modern yurts furnished with comfortable bedding, electricity, and climate control. At Kayak Point, the yurts rest on a forested bluff with beach access below, providing an ideal balance of privacy and waterfront amenities. River Meadows offers similar canvas accommodations with the added benefit of riverside relaxation, just a short walk from a clean, rocky beach perfect for summer swimming and floating. Both locations provide full bathroom facilities with hot showers, picnic tables, fire rings, and maintained grounds within a wooded setting. According to a visitor, "The coolest thing about the campground is the yurts. They're modern and pretty close together if it's just your family, but it was just so neat staying in the yurts, especially in the colder months."
The safari-style accommodations at Jim Creek Wilderness Recreation Area deliver a premium glamping experience with waterfront views and luxury canvas tents. Visitors can explore miles of hiking trails through old-growth forest, rent boats for fishing on Twin Lakes, or participate in organized recreational activities. The surrounding region offers additional outdoor adventures with Paca Pride Guest Ranch providing unique yurt accommodations where guests can interact with alpacas and farm animals as part of their stay. During summer months, the beach areas at both Kayak Point and River Meadows become hubs for water recreation, with swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding available. One camper highlighted the experience at Jim Creek noting, "If you're military or retired this hidden gem is a must do on the list. From its hiking trails through its old growth forest, to its beautiful lake, Jim Creek has something for everyone!"
