    Several RV campgrounds near Darrington offer varying levels of amenities and seasonal availability, from full-hookup sites in town to more remote options throughout the region. Cascade Kamloops RV Park offers full hookup sites with 30-amp service and water connections year-round, located directly in Darrington. Sites accommodate larger vehicles with pull-through options for easier access. Chom's RV Campground provides six RV-only sites with electric hookups including both 30-amp and 50-amp service, though fires are not permitted at this location. For travelers seeking more space, Riverfront RV Park in Sedro-Woolley features 30-amp electrical service with water hookups and provides sanitary dump facilities. The concrete pads at some parks eliminate the need for leveling equipment. "The only campground we've been to where we didn't need to level the trailer. RV sites are all pull through, it's fairly quiet."

    Mountain roads throughout the region present navigation challenges for larger motorhomes, particularly during winter months when snow and ice may affect access. Cell service varies significantly between RV parks, with stronger connections available at locations closer to towns. Most RV facilities near Darrington remain open year-round, though amenities like water hookups may be winterized during freezing temperatures. Pets are generally welcome at area RV parks with standard leash requirements. Dump stations are limited in the immediate Darrington vicinity, with some parks offering on-site dumping while others require using facilities in neighboring communities. A review noted that "we didn't use the restrooms since we have a self-contained trailer. There's a charge dump station at the ministorage at the turn off." Propane refill services are scarce, requiring advance planning for extended stays.

      Port Susan Camping Club

      Port Susan Camping Resort Warning

      My review is from my own experience but there are numerous other reviews that express my same sentiments. I was there 7 years and only had infractions during one month. (all from the same ranger) and one speeding infraction.

      Port Susan Camping Resort has been a bad experience for me and presently turned to bitter. I sold my lot but the check got lost in the mail. I asked the sales agent to replace the check and I have waited approximately 35 days! I finally asked the board to intervene. This is bad business. This is a sample of the treatment or abuse I was given at Port Susan from the sales office. Replacing a check is easy and the money is not even drawn on Port Susan, it comes from the buyer. What would happen if I were paid but the buyer could not access the lot or wasn't given a gate pass or if the sales had to wait for their commission for 35 days after the sale? I was treated so unfairly! They showed me lots for sale with BLACK MOLD.I would think I am being targeted once again but there are many complaints that have been filed about poor management, unfair fines and being targeted if you speak up. The only recourse you have is to go to Tribal court since Port Susan Camping resort is Tribal owned. If you ask me this is a conflict of interest? Bottom line, absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Port Susan is like living under communist rule: The board took a vote to install 50 amp service, the members voted against it because most trailers use 30 amp. The 50 amp was installed any way and members have to pay for it. I spoke up on Campers Chat, but PSCC has the right to determine what will be allowed to be viewed. Freedom of Speech, NOT sat Port Susan. Members have to be careful who they speak to, if they speak against unfair fines to one of"them" they will be targeted. I have been targeted by one ranger who gave me 1200.00 worth of fines in one month. There used to be one ranger who patrolled lots 24 hours a day now there are 2 or 3. You are under constant survelience and fined for violations. Port Susan changes the rules constantly. One example, the road going downhill to the laundra mat and mailbox changed the speed limit to 5 miles per hour. Try going down a hill at 5 miles per hour. I was fined 200.00 at 5:00 am. This was thrown out because no one could do this but later going down hill to the front gate is a radar controlled system. I accidentally was going 17 mph in a 15 mph and was fined 400.00 for going over the speed limit for a 2nd infraction! no where in this country has fines like this but PSCC has unlimited power and no jusidiction. If you take it Tribal Court,( they lease the land to Port Susan you can be held liable to pay the attorney fees against Port Susan. There is less than 30 years on the lease so your membership is a poor investment. Not to mention that they have water pipe problems and boil water warnings posted periodically. If they decide to change all the water pipes the members will pay. I had rats get into my trucks. One was towed to Toyota and they found a rat. The rats got into the cab. I replaced this truck with a brand new Honda and during an oil change was notified that rat tracks were found all over my distributor cover and it was only at my site for 2 weeks!!! Many members tell the truth once they leave and abuse and mistreatment is the norm. THIS IS A FEAR BASED COMMUNITY Good luck with your purchase

      Lower Sandy - Winter Only Dispersed

      Two nights

      We spent two nights at this small campground. It is free in off season. There is a vault toilet but no other amenities. Sites were clean and in good condition.
      Baker Lake TH is a few miles up the road for more exploring.

      US Highway 2 - Skykomish Area east to Stevens Pass

      Overnight stay

      Road closures due to a bridge out closed off probably the better sites up top but we did find a great spot off the road with a view. Enjoyed a nice evening under the stars and a campfire.

      Thousand Trails Mount Vernon

      Rest Area- 8 HR limit

      Decent option if you’re traveling down 5. Seems like a popular spot so some safety in numbers. There’s a similar rest area on the other side for those traveling north

      Tulalip Casino

      Basic carpal

      Just a car park. Do not go to the front of the casino as there are over hanging branches that that can scratch your RV.

      Goodell Creek Campground — North Cascades National Park

      Packed like sardeens

      Nice area. Felt like the sites were all on top of each other. a few pit toilets that are very smelly . A few water bib cocks for refilling your rig. Water was shut off for the season already unfortunately.

      Some sites are on the river which is nice. Great level tent spot at each site. Would stay again still. Close to the NP

      Newhalem Creek Campground — Ross Lake National Recreation Area

      Level spot in the park

      Visited the last 2 weeks of off season before they shut the campground down for the winter. A little confusing on finding an open site since it was “first come first serve” but you had to show proof of occupancy while you are gone so we got booted out of our first spot by some ignorant chick who wanted to argue and we didnt want to deal with it.

      The new spot was great. Had no issues with bugs. Pretty secluded by the trees and brush so we didn’t feel on top of eachother.

      Females bathrooms pretty clean. No showers unfortunately.

      Was informed the males bathroom was pretty gross unfortunately for them

      Swinomish Casino & Lodge RV Park

      Meh! Adequate

      It’s prolly a good spot if you are here for the Casino. If not, it’s a good spot for a break along the way to someplace cool. The RV park it self has the basics. The view is okay. I’ve been by here several times and there is generally a sewage smell. My one night stay was no different. The reason I’ve been by here several times is there is a pretty massive field if you have a dog. Fun to watch mine run wild and get some exercise.

    Guide to Darrington

    RV campgrounds near Darrington, Washington offer varying accessibility dependent on seasonal road conditions. Located in the North Cascades region, this area receives significant snowfall between November and April that can impact mountain access routes. Several campgrounds maintain year-round operations with modified winter amenities and limited site availability during off-season months.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: Visitors to Cascade Kamloops RV Park can enjoy on-site fishing at their trout pond. "Cute little place. Laundry, fishing pond and restrooms," notes Jennifer H., highlighting this convenient activity without leaving the campground.

    Hiking nearby parks: The North Cascades National Park entrance is accessible within a short drive from several RV parks in the region. Brian H. explains that Chom's RV Campground is "eleven minutes to the entrance of the national park and 30 minutes to the visitor center" making it a strategic base for day hikes.

    Wildlife viewing: Many campsites offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. Kristin S. shares that at Lake Pleasant RV Park, "the grounds are quiet... truly silent... save for the many geese that call the lake in the center of the property their home," creating natural entertainment for campers.

    What campers like

    Concrete camping pads: Several RV parks feature level concrete pads that eliminate the need for additional equipment. At Lake Pleasant RV Park, "The areas were paved and level," according to Terri, making setup considerably easier for RVers.

    Privacy between sites: Natural barriers between camping spots provide added seclusion. Terri notes that Lake Pleasant offers "great privacy hedges between spots," while Brodie D. mentions that at Tall Chief Campground, "Most sites are pretty big too. We can easily fit our trailer, tow vehicle, and extra vehicle and still have space!"

    Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities rank high on campers' priority lists. Andrew observed at Skagit River RV & Camping that "The bathhouse is ok," though he opted to use his trailer shower instead due to the number of tent campers using the facilities.

    What you should know

    Cell service variability: Mobile connectivity fluctuates significantly between campgrounds. Brodie D. reports from Tall Chief Campground: "Another thing that can be annoying is trying to find a site with good cell reception due to all the trees... I'm getting 120+ mbs download on AT&T in my site right now, but several sites down from me, it can dwindle down to 5mbs!"

    Seasonal limitations: Some facilities operate only during warmer months. Kate K. notes that Friday Creek Campground is "Only open May-Oct!" requiring off-season alternatives.

    Limited grocery options: Remote locations mean restricted shopping access. Andrew advises about Skagit River RV Campground: "Bring all your groceries, not much in way of stores in area."

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground availability: Some campgrounds offer play areas for children. While Tall Chief Campground has playground facilities, Derek & Alex W. note that "The amenities needed repairs, such as the play areas," suggesting families check current condition reports.

    Swimming options: Pools provide recreation during summer months. Michael W. mentioned his experience at Tall Chief: "The campsites were pretty tightly packed so we didn't have much privacy but the facilities were well kept and the pool was an amazing spot!"

    Walking trails: Riverfront RV Park offers extensive walking areas suitable for families. Patricia K. describes it as a "Well kept large quiet park. Great dg waking areas; including a dog park," providing options for exercise with children and pets.

    Tips from RVers

    Honey wagon services: For extended stays at parks without sewer hookups, waste removal services are available. At Tall Chief Campground, Derek & Alex W. explain: "We don't have room for [a honey wagon] so we used a pumping service halfway through our time there. The park provided the information for the service. It was $60 though."

    Storage options: Some RV parks offer temporary storage solutions. John M. shares that Lake Pleasant RV Park has "a small storage lot that can accommodate short storage. I camped, stored my camper while I went on a cruise, camped and then headed out."

    Dump station locations: When on-site dumping isn't available, knowing nearby options is crucial. Patricia K. notes about Riverfront RV Park: "Free city dump station within a mile; easy to access," providing a convenient alternative.
