Check Availability"We were able to make it work, even with our dog-reactive dog, though. Recommend campsite 48 as it seemed to be one of the most private ones. The beach was lovely and not at all crowded."

Check Availability"Larrabee State Park is a publicly owned recreation area located on Samish Bay, six miles (10 km) south of the city of Bellingham, Washington."
"It's only a few miles from town, so you could head in there for a day away from the forest/beach, or you could hike one of the many trails leading to scenic views."
"The dog park is gravel, so that was a bummer. The hot tub, indoor pool, and and gym are closed for the season. Not sure how those are seasonal. Overall it’s clean and quiet."

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.
ScoutGood little RV park, within walking distance of a dog park, children's park and public bathrooms which is nice. Only downside is that there is not septic at the spots which for $40 a night I would think that they would, but the water is clean and overall the whole lot is nicely kept up with and clean.
GuideThere aren’t many rv parks that are close (35ish mins) to Seattle but this is the best option. Office staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean, laundry is cheap ($1 wash), maintenance staff is constantly tending to the grounds, full hook ups, and cute (short) hiking paths surrounding the park. The lake is more of a murky pond and the geese are happy residents here so expect a lot of goose poop at any spot near the water. There’s also no dog park.
ScoutEveryone’s so nice, good dog park, pool, and friendly staff. Little mini mart on site.
TravelerThe campground itself is very clean, you can tell the owners take pride it in. The showers are warm, not as hot as I’d like but very very nice! The dog park is gravel, so that was a bummer. The hot tub, indoor pool, and and gym are closed for the season. Not sure how those are seasonal. Overall it’s clean and quiet.
LegendWonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets.
We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all.
Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.
ScoutWon't let me give zero stars. So I donated$200 plus, and stayed long enough to drive phase 1 and phase 2 loops, and then left and drove 1 hour and 1/2 home. RED FLAG: First, they take reservations but do not reserve a spot for you; rv spots are first come first serve. RED FLAG: No specific photos of RV SITES on website. All roads are gravel. Phase 1 are all straight back in and not angled. You literally butt against the rv directly behind with maybe 12 inches separating you. The slidouts were literally inches away from neighbors. The only thing green were the weeds around the power and water poles. Phase 1 was bascially a refugee camp. The rv pads were weeds, grass, and some gravel. This area is not maintained at all. Phase two was full, with no trees. Grass dead. Nothing green except weeds. Sites were big and wide. It's was dreary and sad. There were two other RV'S circling and appeared to as shocked as us. I've seen better dog parks. I called my friend who wanted a review after our stay as he had a reservation in September. Needless to say he cancelled his reservation. The beach is not walking distance I would never consider this park ever and plan on leaving this review anywhere I can. The photos in other reviews here look nothing like what I saw today.
RangerGreat spot for an Overnighter on the road through quaint Sedro-Woolley WA, this spot contains amenities for all, along with RV parking and a handful of tent lots. If you care to go swimming it has easy access directly to the lake with a primitive boat launch meant for smaller, canoe-like, vessels. Clean Restrooms, no showers, but they have a stage and performances during the summer months and two Parks, meant for all ages! Surrounding areas to explore include a Dog Park just across the way, and a spooky hike among abandoned buildings which were once part of Northern State Mental facility. Be sure to take in the Train display at the Town’s enterance and have a great trip!
RangerThe service… At first, over the phone, the worker here seemed very nice but upon arrival, this campground was very off-putting. I’m not a big fan of anyone walking into my campsite even if they think they are being helpful. But this worker followed us into the site and immediately told us our rig was too far forward… we hadn’t even cut the truck off yet. And proceeded to talk to us while we were just trying to get settled. Just really weird vibes.
About this site itself…. TIGHT. No room on either side. No privacy. No place for pets to go even though it advertises that there is a pet area. This morning, after walking to the back of the campground where the worker told us we could take our dog when we checked in, he told us that we couldn’t let our dog walk in that grassy area. We were like, there is literally nowhere else to take the dog. It’s entirely surrounded by business and the airport.
We kept to ourselves and got a refund for the final booked night so we could just leave. The worker was really not thrilled about that request and was pretty rude about it.
The only reason we give it two stars is for the location. You can’t get any closer to Bellingham which is absolutely awesome.
Dog-friendly campgrounds near Burlington provide year-round access to both mountain and water recreation opportunities. The Skagit Valley sits at approximately 30 feet above sea level with surrounding mountain views and experiences rainfall averaging 32 inches annually. Most campgrounds maintain gravel parking pads with varying degrees of leveling required depending on location.
Shoreline exploration and fishing: Rasar State Park Campground offers direct access to the Skagit River with connecting trails. "There are trails everywhere from the campsites, but most importantly down to the beach and Cranberry Lake. I must say it's quite amazing to sleep amongst the tall trees of the forest and then meander down to the beach to play," notes Travis D.
Wildlife viewing: Deception Pass State Park Campground provides multiple habitats for wildlife observation. "Nice walking trails to the Strait of Juandefuca and Cranberry Lake. Very green and beautiful," reports Briggetta B. The park's diverse ecosystems support marine and forest wildlife throughout all seasons.
Paddling opportunities: Local waters offer multiple kayaking routes with access points at several campgrounds. "I ended a two week long sea kayaking expedition here in the fall. There was a wonderful large field area that was fun to hang out in as well. We even spent a few hours playing in the current that rips through Deception Pass," shares Sarah C.
Forest camping with privacy: Greenstone Farm Camping features wooded sites that provide natural screening. "Really nice farm with a great mountain view. Quiet rural setting but close to town if you need anything. Woodland trail on the 10+ acres was a real plus for our two dogs," explains Ken F.
Quick access to water recreation: Waterfront camping allows for immediate beach access from many sites. "Bayview is one of my husband and I's favorite state parks for short term camping. Padilla Bay is beautiful and within walking distance of the campgrounds," mentions CJ W.
Variety of accommodation options: La Conner Marina RV Resort offers different site configurations. "Premium sites are double wide and have a spot to park your RV AND Vehicle. Premium Sites $55 before discount (back-in only), Pull-through Sites $55 before discount, Regular Back-in Site $45," explains Stan & Jesús H.
Naval air activity: Military jets from the nearby Naval Air Station can create periodic noise. "You'll hear jets overhead on a regular basis. The jets do shut off around 5 pm and there is plenty of quiet time from that point on. But be prepared during the day for some ear splitting noise - I would actually advise ear plugs," advises Travis D.
Site leveling requirements: Some locations require extra equipment for proper RV setup. "The only downfall is the rv spaces; they are a little challenging to level in some back in sights," notes Deborah H. at Rasar State Park Campground.
Seasonal limitations: Bay View State Park Campground may have service interruptions during maintenance periods. "June 2023 dump stations and all campsite sewer hookups are down for maintenance. Nearest offsite dumps are 10 miles away," reports John M. at a nearby facility.
ADA accessible options: Multiple campgrounds offer accessible trails and facilities. "Great ADA camping. Trails are smooth enough for an electric wheelchair and the path to the river is paved. Not many spots so book early," recommends Bryan G. regarding Rasar State Park.
Indoor recreation for rainy days: Thousand Trails Mount Vernon provides indoor facilities during inclement weather. "This is a very wooded site. We took a day trip to the cascades," notes Jacob R.
Water play areas: Several locations feature shallow swimming areas appropriate for children. "Cranberry Lake has a designated swimming area where the water is super shallow and just perfect for the kiddos," shares Travis D.
Site selection strategy: Reserve larger sites when traveling with dogs. "We ended up in site #233 and it was perfect. Totally tucked away in the trees with soft ground and simple surroundings," recommends Travis D.
Satellite and signal considerations: Heavily wooded sites may affect connectivity. "5G t-Mobile is 5-stars at our Site," notes Stan & Jesús H. at La Conner Marina RV Resort, though coverage varies significantly between campgrounds.
Dump station availability: Plan ahead for waste management needs. "Not all services are available at each site. Wonderful setting with either woods or water views," advises Paula C. about dog-friendly options in the area.
