    Baker Pull-Off

    Pull-off site

    Cute little off the road site. About 6 cars drove by throughout the night and into the morning, it was Friday so that was expected. There’s 2 little walkways down to your own little private section of the lake. Beautiful.

    Baker Lake Road Dispersed Campsite

    Peaceful Camping

    Stopped here in the month of September and there were very few people around the lake. Quiet and beautiful views! We parked our vehicle off the road at the top of the flat and walked down to the lake for sunrises and sets. Definitely set up for a good time during the summer break with rope swings hanging from the branches. Star link works OK here.

    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.

    Baker Lake Tent camping

    Beautiful tent site

    Didn’t stay here but hiked in it and it’s very spacious. There are 2 fire rings set up with an uppper and lower camping option. The lower is right by a river that spills into the lake on the other side of the road.

    Old Quarry by Sulphur Creek

    Unofficial Forest Gun range

    This is exactly as described in the title of this review. It’s set up as an unofficial forest gun range. We came on a Wednesday evening where it wasnt occupied or being used, but we’ll probably just stay here one night and find something better. The roads have lots of potholes getting here… probably won’t stay here again, but starling does work well considering it is a big open spot.

    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!

    NF-27 Tunnel Creek

    Pull through site

    This is a great spot to stay for a bit if you’re looking to do that OR just stay for a night. It’s like, a big circle that you pull in and out of. There’s a trail from this site that leads to a great tint site as well. Plenty of space if you have a decent sized group. Easily accommodating 3 cars. We have plenty of space with our rig. Star link works great here!

    Chom's RV Campground

    Great place to stay at close to the north cascades

    Great place! Clean toilets, hot water, good enough wifi, leveled ground and the host is really helpful and nice! The only downside is that it's close to the road, so you hear some traffic, but it's a rather chill place at night.

    Skagit River RV & Campground

    Good base for North Cascades National Park

    Unable to get in FCFS campground inside NP, found this campground close to the east entrance on Hwy 20. Quiet, clean, not too much privacy, but worked great for us to visit Cascades. Showers, bathrooms, laundry all very adequate and it was available same day (midweek). Full hook ups, staff friendly and accommodating.
