"Lets start with the downsides: reserve early as it fills up quick for summer, during the summer there are burn bans and you will need a propane fire pit or no fire at all, the jet noise can be overwhelming"
"Overall the campgrounds are well maintained and the bathrooms were always well stocked. It is a popular campground for families, with kiddos riding bikes and running around."
"When you want to get away from it all, but don’t want to travel far from the city, THIS is the spot. Spacious campsites. Running water. Flushing toilets. Showers. A tranquil Puget Sound experience."
"All campsites are surrounded by trees so choose carefully if you need a pull through or if you have a large rig that you’re trying to back up. We had a small camper van and it fit perfectly."
"Has running water, a couple fire pits and a bunch of picnic tables. These are lots of level spots to pitch tents."
"This site has close access to the bathrooms shared with those staying in the cabins. Peekaboo views of the water between the trees."
"Our site was big enough for our friends with a tent to pitch it next to us. We had a site on the end of a grouping. Some sites are way too close together, but others are more spacious. "
"Clean bathrooms, hand sanitizer. River access nearby. Saw people floating on the river. Nice and shallow, clean rocky beach is just a short walk from the camp."
"All sites include a fire pit, picnic table, and grill with ash bucket and grill cleaning brush. The rv park is close to the recreation office that has a little gift shop with snacks and drinks."
"Scenic views, tons of amenities, spacious RV spaces, very clean, and friendly staff. Great place for families! Boating, kayaking, and hiking on site. Tent, RV, and cabins available."
"And I’ve noticed you guys have tent cabins on the list even though our tent cabins are still in the process of being built."
"Also the fire pit was far enough away from everything no worries of embers on hammocks or camper. The showers were hot but low pressure. It only took two tokens for a quality shower."
"Only 88 miles away from our home, a perfect getaway for a short trip. We are fairly new to the RV life style (always tent camped) and this only our 3rd trip in our new travel trailer."
"It's right on the water and next to the ferry and it's super cool to see the ferry and lights at night. They keep the bathrooms and showers clean."

"Nice fire pit and Beer Garden area and a great view with mountains and trees surrounding you."
"Quiet rural setting but close to town (Mt. Vernon) if you need anything or just want to explore the farmer's market, as we did. Woodland trail on the 10+ acres was a real plus for our two dogs. "
TravelerStayed in the group site with my daughter’s American Heritage Girls troop. We had 22 girls and there was plenty of room. This is a huge group site. Has running water, a couple fire pits and a bunch of picnic tables. These are lots of level spots to pitch tents. The flush toilets and shower house are in the parking area for this site so really convenient. We drove down to the beach from the site but I’m pretty sure there is a trail if you wanted to walk. We had a great time!
ScoutArrived around 9pm. Mostly quiet. Camped near someone with a generator and thought they’d shut it off at 10pm (quiet hours 7am-10pm). Well, they didn’t shut it off till we asked and then turned it back on at midnight. Impossible to sleep. Got up to use the restroom and someone had been smoking cigarettes in the bathroom: shit + cig smoke = super lame. The number Jefferson County instructs you to call in case of issues is only operable from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Lower # campsites seem to have good morning sun.
TravelerBeautiful place to camp! Lets start with the downsides: reserve early as it fills up quick for summer, during the summer there are burn bans and you will need a propane fire pit or no fire at all, the jet noise can be overwhelming and until the late hours of the night for someone who isn’t used to it, if you are tryIng to party at the campsIte the park rangers wIll come and tell you to be quite after quIte hours whIch Is 10pm. The great things about the park: beautiful place to camp, short walk to the water to dip your feet in the freezing water, beautiful views, quite, bathrooms are usually close and have runnIng water and hot showers for a small price, water spickets to clean dishes usually near by, a lake near by to fresh water fish and beach with shallow water for the kids to swim, overall great place to camp! Camped here a lot so pictures are from 3 different times.
ScoutSo I actually work for fort worden hospitality. And I’ve noticed you guys have tent cabins on the list even though our tent cabins are still in the process of being built. And are unavailable for use due to not being completed in the timely fashion due to funding constraints
Travelerit’s great access to the northern cascades. first time staying there and I have been camping in Washington since I was born
it has great access to some really good trails the scenery is beautiful.
GuideThere is a river and salmon climb it to spawn in October I believe. Very cool to see. Campground is large, with about 20% of camp sites have good privacy. Walking distance to a gas station for supplies. Clean bathrooms with running water.
Traveler10 minutes outside of Darlington city limits is the 13-site Clear Creek Campground locates right along the rocky shores of the Sauk River. For being so near to town, we felt rather far away from civilization with the canopy of green and blue above us and the river only yards away.
It was Sunday, the day before Labor Day, so we were very pleased and surprised to find the camp ground relatively vacant. There were two different bathroom facilities that were well-maintained and accessible. The tent pads made it easy to set up camp. Each site had a fire pit; and right before you leave town, you can snag some camp wood in exchange for dropping money in a cash box from a local resident. The rocky shores of the river made for easy and fun exploring.
Even though the mountain loop highway was merely on the other side of the trees, we rarely heard passing cars over the constant and soothing dull roar of the river, also located on the other side of the trees! It was the perfect location for our last minute, one-night family excursion. We even had our 8-month-old baby with us.
If you’re not interested in camping around a whole bunch of other people but also not interested in trekking too far into the wilderness, I definitely recommend pitching your tent at the Clear Creek Campground 10 minutes outside of Darrington.
ScoutThis campground is a little place tucked in beside a bridge right inside the Mt Baker Snoqualmie Forrest boundaries. The campsites are a bit small, but cozy with everything you need. Fire Pit with grill, separate standing charcoal grill, tent pads, picnic tables. The bathrooms(vault toilets) are well maintained and clean, BUT BE AWARE THERE IS NO WATER HERE. Repeat, there is no water spouts here, so you'll have to bring all you need.
ScoutI have camped at Deception Pass multiple times. The campground has Ocean access and hiking access. Overall the campgrounds are well maintained and the bathrooms were always well stocked. It is a popular campground for families, with kiddos riding bikes and running around. It is a larger campground with sites that are a good size and semi-private, some sites offering more privacy than other. I have gone during July and August and most times there has been a fire ban. The campground offers propane fire pits for rent for a small fee. They do get rented up quickly so I recommend
not waiting and asking when you arrive. The site we stayed was not very private and the campers next to us played loud music most of the day and into the evening, however the camp host was dutiful in reminding campers to be courteous of fellow campers. The campground books up very quick so reserve early.
