    Camping near Everett, Washington spans from developed state parks to forested county campgrounds within a 30-mile radius, with options ranging from full-hookup RV sites to primitive tent camping. Flowing Lake Park & Campground in Snohomish offers year-round camping with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin accommodations. Verlot Campground, located northeast of Everett along the Mountain Loop Highway, provides a more rustic experience with tent and RV sites but no electric hookups. The region includes both waterfront options like Lake Pleasant RV Park in Bothell and forested settings such as Thousand Trails Thunderbird in Monroe, which features cabins alongside traditional camping areas.

    Reservations are essential during summer months when campgrounds throughout the area frequently reach capacity, particularly on weekends. Most developed sites in Snohomish County require advance booking through reservation systems, with many campgrounds opening their reservation windows months ahead. Winter camping remains available at several year-round facilities, though amenities may be limited during off-season periods. Road access varies significantly, with some campgrounds like Verlot requiring navigation of winding mountain roads. Cell service can be spotty in areas farther from Interstate 5, particularly in the more remote eastern locations. According to one visitor at Verlot Campground, "Despite being next to the loud and busy highway, my site was very nice, large, and really private from neighbors."

    Public lands near Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest provide more primitive camping experiences compared to the developed campgrounds closer to Everett. Campers seeking camping sites near Everett can find diverse options ranging from lakefront campgrounds to secluded forest retreats within a short drive from the city. Campers report high satisfaction with sites that offer water access, with Lake Pleasant RV Park receiving particularly strong reviews for its cleanliness and location. One camper noted it as "the nicest park with the best rates close to the Seattle area" with "easy access to UW Bothell." Noise levels vary significantly between campgrounds, with some sites affected by nearby highways or urban sounds. The terrain ranges from flat, accessible RV sites with full hookups to more secluded tent camping areas with minimal amenities. Most developed campgrounds provide standard features like picnic tables, fire rings, and access to toilets, while several also offer showers, electrical hookups, and sanitary dump stations for RVs.

      Falls View Campground

      Quiet forest camping at Falls View — spacious Site 12, a steep river hike, and Highway 101 for a soundtrack

      Falls View Campground is a small, primitive U.S. Forest Service campground in Olympic National Forest, about 3.5 miles south of Quilcene on Highway 101. We spent two quiet nights here and had the place mostly to ourselves. That emptiness is the tradeoff: no potable water (the campground is under redesign), vault toilets only, no hookups, and first-come, first-served sites. If you want flush toilets and a water spigot, this is not it. If you want tall timber, a river below you, and room to breathe, it works. We stayed in Site 12, one of the newer spots. It was spacious, with good privacy from the next site and easy pull-through options for a van. Picnic table, fire ring, and enough gravel pad to park without a scramble. The campground map notes that Sites 1, 2, 3, and 9 are small and limited to car/truck campers; 12 felt like a different category. Payment is cashless. You can occupy a site, then either scan the QR code with the Recreation.gov app or drive about three miles north to the fee machine at Quilcene Ranger Station (295142 US-101). Official rate is $10 per night for a single site, plus $5 for an extra vehicle. Display the receipt on the site post. The Falls View Canyon Trail starts in the campground and drops to the Big Quilcene River. It is not an easy stroll. What goes down must come up, and the climb is steep — switchbacks, stairs in places, and enough grade to make you notice. The payoff is the river: mossy basalt, clear water, and that classic Olympic Peninsula green. There is also a shorter loop to a viewpoint of the waterfall plunging toward the river. Bring water; there is none at the campground. Highway 101 is close enough that you hear traffic. It did not ruin the stay for us, but light sleepers or people hunting total silence should know that going in. Pets must be leashed. Season is roughly May through September. Bottom line: Cheap, quiet, and pretty if you are self-contained and okay with vault toilets and a steep hike. Site 12 was a winner. Pack your own water and expect the highway

      Sage Horse Camp

      A Quiet, Serene Equestrian Camp

      My feline and I were looking for a quiet, off the beaten path sanctuary and found it. We chose spot 14 in the nw corner, hidden and along the northern treeline. The road is gravel and took us a minute to roll in and once there, magnificent. There are amenities for horses to play, trails to ride, and corrals at each of the 15 sites. Although we did not have horses, this place was a wonderful spot to rest our road legs for a couple days.

      Sequim Bay State Park Campground

      A Cozy Off the Highway 101 State Park

      This State Park is cozy and directly off Hwy 101. A Camp Host, small trail down to Sequim Bay, giant trees shading the campground, one shower and toilets, garbage, and cozy.

      Rhododendron Campground

      standard car camping

      10 out of 15 sites were available on Labor Day weekend Saturday at 4pm. No reservations - it's just show up, put $15 cash in the box, and claim your campsite. Perfectly adequate car camping with a picnic table, fire circle, and access to pit toilets.

      you can still hear road noise from the main road, and barking dogs in the morning from a nearby dog sanctuary. Beautiful rhododendron brush covers the space between sites.

      Gold Basin Campground

      Lovely Campground, Disgusting Vault Toilets

      Campsites are clean and private, but the vault toilets were so bad we left early. This campground would have been great otherwise. Tent pad was far from level in our site but others looked better.

      Deception Pass State Park Campground

      Check the training schedule before you camp here!

      The Navy carrier jets train out here, for hours on end, you can’t hear someone next to you speak when they’re overhead, and it’s one after another. To top it off, some dipsh@t did the grand finale flight of the evening, around 11:30 PM, so low over the campground they lit up the inside of the tent. 

      Without the jets, this would be a great spot. Beautiful scenery, plenty of trails and beaches, well kept, but the constant interruption of any moment of peace makes it worthless unless you’re deaf and don’t mind the ground vibrating routinely when they fly over.

      Thousand Trails Grandy Creek

      Just ok KOA

      We were coming off Orcas Island on a later ferry and wanted a “known” place to stay. This is a shared KOA/Thousand Trails site. It is situated amongst large Cedars so sites are pretty dark. Gravel roads and sites. Older bathrooms that don’t seem too clean. KOA amenities like a pool/hot tub, kids playground and dog area. Just feels tired and not too upscale. If it were full it would feel crowded. Updated from 3 to 4 stars. There is a second bathroom building which is much newer and has modern showers and fixtures. It also seemed cleaner.

      Lake Erie Campground

      A really nice area to camp

      Behind the small well kept store is the lawned campground for tenters, or RVs. The flat area is well kept grass on the shoreline of Lake Erie and has a dock. New orange tables for each site. Looming across the road is wonderful Mt. Erie and the Anacortes Community Forest Lands with many trails for all levels. Trail maps online, and one can connect to a trail just walking a short bit. Mt Erie has a gorgeous view of the San Juans, Whidbey Island, Olympics, Cascades and eagles flying by. The south face has many rock climbs for all levels, even at least one 5.13! A noted area for newbies trying rock climbing, with someone to assist.

      There are basically no trees, but with the grass and sunshine, wonderful. Downtown Anacortes is about 10 minutes away. Scenic Deception Pass to Whidbey Island less than that, or a nearby trail makes a scenic hike to the bridge. A great place to explore so many things.

    Guide to Everett

    Camping options near Everett, Washington range from riverside sites to forested retreats with varying levels of amenities. The region sits within the Puget Sound lowlands, where summer temperatures typically remain below 80°F and winters bring consistent rainfall rather than heavy snow at most campgrounds. Tree cover varies from dense forest settings to more open waterfront locations, with elevation changes most pronounced at eastern sites near the Cascade foothills.

    What to do

    Water recreation access: Kayak Point County Park offers shoreline activities and fishing opportunities from its pier. "During a previous trip in April we saw a whale feeding in the bay. We take our boat and crab," notes camper Russ H.

    Mountain hiking trails: Campers use Verlot Campground as a base for nearby mountain exploration. "Situated beside the pristine Sauk River & two miles below the trailhead for Lake Twenty Two," reports Josiah P., highlighting its strategic location for hikers.

    River floating: Summer visitors enjoy water activities on the rivers near Monroe. "Shady but fun to float the river! Best in hot times of year due to shade," explains Nicole B. about her experience at Thousand Trails Thunderbird.

    Fishing access: Multiple campgrounds provide fishing opportunities in both rivers and lakes. One visitor at Kayak Point County Park mentions, "Fishing is good, the scenery is awesome, and it's peaceful," showing why many anglers return to this campsite near Everett.

    What campers like

    Private campsites: Many campers value sites with adequate separation. At Verlot Campground, Jason G. notes that despite highway proximity, "my site was very nice, large, and really private from neighbors," highlighting the spaciousness of individual sites.

    Year-round cabin options: Flowing Lake Park & Campground receives praise for its cabin accommodations in colder months. "My Questival team stayed at Flowing Lake in cabins in October, and we loved it! Cabin was clean and warm despite chilly weather!" shares Annie K.

    Waterfront locations: Campers consistently rate water access highly. "We stayed in a lovely tent spot. The space had plenty of room. A fun lake to play in," writes Lynn K. about her experience at Flowing Lake Park.

    Walking trails: Several campgrounds feature on-site trail systems. Tolt MacDonald Park offers "very well maintained" trails according to Mercedes D., who adds that "they even provide you with garden carts to help you get your stuff across the bridge."

    What you should know

    Reservation timing: Many campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. "Reserve ahead very popular especially during the summer," advises Mindy P. about Flowing Lake Park & Campground, where advance planning is essential.

    Highway noise levels: Some campsites experience road noise. At Verlot Campground, a camper notes: "I was shocked by the high score and mostly positive reviews, but then I realized there is probably a huge difference between camping in the spots along the river vs. the ones right next to the highway."

    Variable tent conditions: Tent campers should research site conditions carefully. "Tenting areas are 10-15 feet from the road, so very noisy all night long," warns Geoffrey W. about Thousand Trails Thunderbird, adding that "all other tent sites are on a gentle lean."

    Winter bathroom access: Off-season campers may find limited facilities. At Kayak Point County Park, Frankie S. reports, "We had to stop in at the park station and ask the person working for the bathroom code" because "the bathrooms were locked due to it being the off season."

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground availability: Lake Pleasant RV Park offers child-friendly features. "We did not use the bathrooms, but enjoyed the walking trails, playground for the kids, and watching the resident ducks in the pond," shares Nikki R.

    Group camping options: Several parks accommodate youth groups. "We camped here with my daughter's American Heritage Girls troop. The site was nice and big. The park had lots for the girls to do and explore," reports Bridget S. about her stay at Flowing Lake Park.

    Beach access considerations: Water features vary in quality. At Flowing Lake County Park, Ryan O. cautions, "This place loses a star for the beach access park. The grass is very wet and mushy. The swimming area is also just rock and mud."

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Children can observe local animals at multiple campgrounds. "Douglas squirrels are common and shy," notes Jamie S. about Kayak Point County Park, while Lake Pleasant features numerous waterfowl that captivate young visitors.

    Tips from RVers

    Pull-through availability: RV campers should research site configurations. Michael S. explains that at Flowing Lake, "Pretty much all the lots are hard pack gravel with no tent pads. Most of the sites are set up that way to accommodate various RV's or tow behinds."

    Utility connections: Hook-up options vary significantly between parks. "Has water electric and token showers. No dump spot!" warns Kirby M. about Flowing Lake Park, highlighting the importance of checking sanitation facilities before arrival.

    Site spacing: Some RV parks offer better separation than others. At Kayak Point County Park, Brooks S. appreciates that "surprisingly the sites are not on top of each other and there is good privacy between sites," adding that "for those with RVs/Trailers there is no dump station at this park."

    Free overnight options: For self-contained units, Tulalip Casino provides no-cost parking. "Great free camping for up to three nights. Just call security (number is on the sign) to register when you arrive," advises Adam Y., though he notes "No hook ups and no water available."
