The park's large open field creates ample space for outdoor recreation and community gatherings. One visitor noted, "Great little campground if you want to head to the river! Small open campground for dry camping. 14 sites, a few yurts, and lots of day use space. Short walk to beach on river. Great river floating, swimming etc."
"When you want to get away from it all, but don’t want to travel far from the city, THIS is the spot. Spacious campsites. Running water. Flushing toilets. Showers. A tranquil Puget Sound experience."
"All campsites are surrounded by trees so choose carefully if you need a pull through or if you have a large rig that you’re trying to back up. We had a small camper van and it fit perfectly."
from $40 - $80 / night
"All sites include a fire pit, picnic table, and grill with ash bucket and grill cleaning brush. The rv park is close to the recreation office that has a little gift shop with snacks and drinks."
"Scenic views, tons of amenities, spacious RV spaces, very clean, and friendly staff. Great place for families! Boating, kayaking, and hiking on site. Tent, RV, and cabins available."
"Lets start with the downsides: reserve early as it fills up quick for summer, during the summer there are burn bans and you will need a propane fire pit or no fire at all, the jet noise can be overwhelming"
"Overall the campgrounds are well maintained and the bathrooms were always well stocked. It is a popular campground for families, with kiddos riding bikes and running around."

"Pretty standard all around. It's nice and quite. Restrooms and showers were well maintained."
"10 minutes outside of Darlington city limits is the 13-site Clear Creek Campground locates right along the rocky shores of the Sauk River."

Scout10 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.
ScoutThe 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.
LegendWe 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.
GuideBasic forest service campground. Off the beaten path. Pit toilet is very clean
LegendDeception Pass State Park is an incredible place to camp. The scenery and hikes have a wow factor. We enjoy the smaller Quarry Pond side. Great facilities. Wonderful campground.
GuideThis site is clean and there are good level sites available. However, it’s quite dense and you will have no privacy if you have neighbors.
ScoutFor the price it’s pretty good. $25 a night! There’s a bathroom and a porta potty close by the campsite but no sink. You have to park in a close parking lot not at your site which we would prefer. Our site was very slanted and hard. Lots of bunnies hopping about. The only lone women’s shower is down near the beach. Same with the men’s. The beach is beautiful but covered in tiny thorns of some kind so don’t wear sandles or flip flops!! It will hurt you! The ocean is beautiful of course but lots of kelp so no swimming for us.
ScoutThis rv resort was way better than we were expecting, as a last minute add on. Massive dog park, indoor pool and fire areas, putt putt, pickleball, nature walking trails, kids outdoor play area, sun deck, and I’m sure there is more we haven’t gotten to see! Big spacious spots. About 25 mins from skagit speedway. Hope to come stay here again in the future!
GuideThis is a busy campground and day use area, but it’s awesome. You can kayak and swim in cranberry lake, watch the sunset from either north beach or west beach, and hike many different trails all from the campground.
River Meadows Park sits alongside the Stillaguamish River near Granite Falls, Washington, providing a blend of forest and water access. The campground features 14 sites across an open field with short access to a clean, rocky beach. Glamping options in the area range from luxurious yurts to basic tent platforms, with most locations offering access to hiking trails and water activities within a 5-10 mile radius of Granite Falls.
Fishing at Twin Lakes: Jim Creek Wilderness Recreation Area offers excellent fishing opportunities at Twin Lakes, about 5 miles from the main campground. "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," notes a visitor to Tolt MacDonald Park, which offers similar fishing access.
Explore riverside trails: Hiking trails connect many campgrounds to river access points and beaches. At Clear Creek Campground, "the creek and the Sauk river are absolutely beautiful. There is so much wildlife in the area, keep an eye out, I think I saw a wolverine by the creek," reports Douglas S.
Water activities: Swimming and floating are popular at several area campgrounds during summer months. "Great river floating, swimming etc. Short walk to beach on river," notes one visitor about the river access, which features shallow areas suitable for family swimming.
Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the natural spacing at area campgrounds. At Kayak Point County Park, "surprisingly the sites are not on top of each other and there is good privacy between sites. It is designated as a 'dry' campground, but I think as long as you're not being obnoxious you are ok," reports Brooks S.
Clean facilities: Restrooms and shower facilities receive positive reviews at most area campgrounds. "The showers have great water pressure and hot water. I was kinda disappointed that they aren't a little more private but still got the job done," notes Bri S. about Kayak Point.
Natural settings: The combination of forest and water access appeals to many visitors seeking glamping near Granite Falls. At Deception Pass State Park Campground, "Park is remarkably pretty with older trees. Most of RV sites looked great & we loved ours," shares Rose M.
Limited water access: Several campgrounds near Granite Falls lack drinking water. At Clear Creek Campground, "BE AWARE THERE IS NO WATER HERE. Repeat, there is no water spouts here, so you'll have to bring all you need," warns Maria S.
Seasonal crowds: Waterfront sites become extremely busy during summer months. "Beach area is nice but packed in the summer," notes a visitor to Wenberg County Park.
Jet noise at some locations: At Deception Pass State Park, "You'll hear jets overhead on a regular basis" from the nearby Naval Air Base, warns Will L., though "the jets do shut off around 5 pm and there is plenty of quiet time from that point on."
Cell service varies: Connectivity ranges from excellent to non-existent. "T-mobile cell service worked at camp," reports a visitor to one site, while another notes "No cell service!" at Boardman Creek Group Campground.
