Campgrounds near Edmonds, Washington provide access to a diverse range of accommodation types, from developed RV sites to rustic cabins. The Puget Sound region features several established campgrounds like Lake Pleasant RV Park in Bothell and Fay Bainbridge Park on Bainbridge Island, both within 30 minutes of Edmonds. These mixed-use facilities typically offer tent camping alongside RV hookups, with several state parks in the area also providing cabin options. Many campgrounds maintain year-round accessibility, though amenities and reservation requirements vary significantly between locations.

The Edmonds area camping landscape features primarily developed campgrounds rather than dispersed camping options. Most sites provide standard amenities including picnic tables, toilets, and trash service, with many also offering electric hookups and shower facilities.

Accessibility for larger vehicles can be limited at some locations, with North Sound Recreational Vehicle Park noting restrictions on RVs over 35 feet. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. According to one visitor, "There aren't many RV parks that are close to Seattle but this is the best option. Office staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean, laundry is cheap, and maintenance staff is constantly tending to the grounds."

State park campgrounds throughout the region receive consistently positive reviews for their cleanliness and natural settings. Lake Pleasant RV Park stands out with multiple five-star ratings noting its peaceful atmosphere despite urban proximity. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, the park "feels secluded, but you can walk or take a short drive to restaurants, groceries, anything you could want or need." Most campground options near Edmonds balance convenience with natural settings, often featuring water views or forest surroundings. Several parks, including Camano Island State Park and Manchester State Park, maintain water-view sites that tend to book quickly during summer months.

    Town and Country Motorcoach and RV Resort

    Great Stop After a Long Trip

    We followed RV Trip Wizard south on I-5 straight to the campground (CG). At the stoplight next to Lowe’s, you simply continue straight into the resort entrance for check-in. Check-in was super easy and informative, and we were then escorted to pull-through Site 11 with FHUs. A standout feature here is that each long pull-through has full utility hookups on both sides. Sewer placement was excellent—neither too high nor too low—and the sewer cap even swivels to align with your hose(something we’d never seen before). The pad was long enough for our 40' toy hauler with the patio down, plus convenient parking for our F450. It was interesting that a CG this nice did not have picnic tables nor fire pits/barbecues at the sites. Connectivity was great: campground Wi-Fi delivered~49 Mbps down/ 44 Mbps up, while T-Mobile Home Internet hit 133 Mbps down/ 9 Mbps up. On the north side of the CG is a tree farm where dogs can roam off-leash. We were also able to receive packages—very helpful coming back from Alaska/Canada—and even had our vehicle washed onsite. An RV tech staying in the CG was available for repairs. The campground hosts and workers could not have been more accommodating—allowing package delivery, coordinating vehicle washing and RV repairs, and most of all not fertilizing our grassy site because of our 15-year-old pup. There is some road and occasional train noise, but nothing too disruptive. They were getting the shower houses and laundry building finished up while we were there. This is a very nice, newer campground, and we thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay.

    Thousand Trails Thunderbird

    Great spot for members!

    This is a members only campground, with a few non members sites. The membership is well worth the price, but the only level that you can pay for monthly is the camping pass, allowing you to stay up to 14 days at the same campground at a time. I've stayed here several times and it has everything you need to stay in an RV, tent, cabin, or yurt

    Riverfront RV Park

    Good!

    Good 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.

    Blake's RV Park & Marina

    Decent spot close to lots of nature activities, snowgoose produce stand is down the road and worth a visit may through September.

    Small rv park with mostly full timers. Tent sites with power right next to the river. Open gravel camping. Not great water access. Bathroom, shower uses quarters, laundry room, boat launch. Craft island hiking trail is great, I recommend walking it barefoot till you get out to the island. If the tide is out you have many acres of sand bar to walk out into the bay. Boat launch available. Some spots have full hookups.

    John Wayne's Waterfront Resort

    Quiet this time of year

    Right across John Wayne marina. Full hook ups. Trails behind rv sites for walks and close to discovery trail for biking or walking long distances. Close to town but away from traffic and traffic noises

    Cascades RV Resort

    Cascades RV Resort

    We are long term RV campers here at Cascades. It is a lovely RV resort with large concrete pads with astroturf lawn and picnic table. Everyone is friendly. Nightly noise is never excessive. Gracie’s place is an onsite cafe that serves food, alcohol, deserts, coffees, and other drinks. You can get package delivery just no USPS. They do offer monthly discounts. Would highly recommend for anyone in an RV.

    Woodlands at Lake Stickney

    BEAUTIFUL LOCATION

    I myself have never parked my RV at the campsite. However, I've been to the public Access area and have to say that it's very peaceful and has a restroom which is nice. I'm a local. I live inside my RV and it has been a major adjustment but having places like this has been extremely helpful.

    Top of the Hill camping

    Top of the hill camping

    This is actually a really secluded, pivate location with a beautiful view! The road is fairly easy to get up to this spot but really just room for one vehicle. I guess the last people used it as the dumb spot when they were leaving because there’s a grill and a TV screen there… we did not stay and camp here, but we did check it out and if we didn’t have a trailer, I would definitely have claimed the spot!

    Great large flat spot for camping. Could easily fit about 5 cars here. About 4 fire rings set up and the road is pretty easy getting here.
