      Colonial Creek South Campground — Ross Lake National Recreation Area

      07.09.16

      Get there early on a summer weekend. We arrived to the campsite Saturday around 11AM ($10/night). Each site had its own table and fire pit - ours was tucked into a nice private spot. Some of the sites had bear lockers and there were bathrooms nearby with running water and large trash bins throughout.

      Deception Pass State Park Campground

      Cozy campsites !

      There were SO MANY available campsites when we got there. About mid afternoon. The ranger was super friendly and welcoming! The bathrooms were nice and had showers that require tokens that you can buy with your site at check in. The sites vary in size and shape but most of them are decently private/ spaced apart. The site next to us never got booked, probably because it was small, but it was nice for us because it was only a few bushes away. Sites include a picnic table and fire ring with grill grate . There was a trail to the beach not far from us and it was super nice. Although there are plenty of signs that require dogs to be on leashes most people did not adhere to those rules, so keep an eye out if you're bringing the doggos. Very family friendly, very cozy, very nice stay!

      Flowing Lake Park & Campground

      The cabins are a lot of fun!

      We typically visit the cabins here in the winter, so we don’t usually partake in the summer activities of swimming, boating, etc., but we do love coming here in the winter. The cabins are heated and have bunk beds, which makes for a cozy retreat into nature in the winter. The only reason that this spot did not get full stars is because the park has had transients hiking through the trails (which made for a scary 2 a.m. bathroom break).

      Howard Miller Steelhead County Park

      Stayed two nights

      What a lovely campground! There’s a day use area with a bathroom and picnic tables right before entering into the campground. This place allows you to pay to park in the lots for $15/night if you are occupying it which is nice when the campground is full. There’s trash bins located throughout the campground as well as restrooms and shower houses (quarters needed). Dump station is $5. Several free options to pick from based on your setup. If you are paying to overnight park in the parking lot, you technically are not supposed to be using any of the amenities within the campground itself including the shower. If you speak with the Office and allow to pay them directly. They are very accommodating to allow you the bathroom code for the showers. They ask you only stay one night in the parking lot but you can ask for an extra night but get approval.

      There’s a bar and grill across the road with pizza and dog friendly. There’s trails around the campground to walk. Very pretty views of the water at half the sites. Camp hosts were very kind and came around at night to check to make sure everyone paid to stay so make sure you do if you are in the parking lot! Had fantastic ATT service and was able to work well. Varied from 3-4 bars of 5G. Only 30 minutes from NC NP entrance. Definitely would stay here again!

      Mt. Baker Lodging - Cabin #95 - Hot Tub, BBQ, Fireplace, WiFi, Pets Ok, Sleeps-4!

      Perfect Basecamp for a ski weekend

      I booked this cabin through Mt. Baker lodgings which has about 100 properties in this area to choose from. It was the perfect spot to access and ski Mt. Baker for 3 days while on vacation.

      The check-in process and finding the cabin was super easy just make sure you know where to check-in prior to leaving a cell service area as service is basically non-existent when you get there.

      The cabin had everything we needed from kitchen utensils to linens, to a washer and dryer not to mention some added perks like the grill, hot tub, and fireplace. This cabin has 2 full-size queen beds, a foldout futon in the living room, and 2 bathrooms. It was super spacious!

      The cabin was near Glacier, WA which is the closest town to Mt. Baker and has a small assortment of stores although I would recommend you buy the bulk of your groceries beforehand as a selection in the area is limited.

      All in all, this was the perfect spot for a few days of skiing at Mt. Baker. It was so easy to access the ski area and the cabin was the ideal getaway in the mossy forests of Northern Washington. It was tucked away in a thickly forested neighborhood full of similar houses which were great for walking. The nearby river also was a great spot for a short hike.  I will definitely be staying here again!

    Tips from RVers

    Site dimensions: Most RV sites accommodate standard-sized rigs. "We ended up here since our planned campground was closed due to recent fires. We arrived at 3 pm on a Thursday the week after Labor Day and there were plenty of sites, so the host gave us an ADA-accessible site since it was larger," reports a camper at Howard Miller Steelhead County Park.

    Power considerations: Electric hookups vary between campgrounds. At Clark's Skagit River Resort, "The 50 amp sites don't have 30amp or 20amp outlets, so you might need an adapter."

    Cell service availability: Connectivity differs by location. About Thousand Trails Grandy Creek, a visitor shares, "ATT cell service is solid. I was able to use my phone as a hot spot and work a bit, too. BONUS!!"

    Seasonal access: Winter camping requires additional planning. Colonial Creek South Campground can be accessed in off-seasons: "I've been to Colonial Creek Campground twice, both in winter. The first time was wonderful. It's deserted in winter, and it's located right before where the highway closes off in winter."
