TravelerThis place is stunningly beautiful. The winding trails throughout the campgrounds are very nice. Restrooms and showers are very well maintained. One of the park rangers helped us book a reservation after showing up since the website wasn't working for us on our side. Overall an amazing time, def my favorite spot in the whole county so far.
TravelerStayed two weeks here. Pretty standard all around. It's nice and quite. Restrooms and showers were well maintained. Camp host tried to pull a fast one on me and up charge for fire wood about 5 mins after I pulled into the campground but other than that it was a nice and pleasant stay.
TravelerUSE AS A LAST OPTION ONLY - It's right behind the racetrack so if you like rednecks reving engines until midnight less than 100yds from your campsite you'll love it here! Didn't even bother with the restrooms or showers, everything looks pretty run down at the RV-2 site. Overall, a pretty crap operation. The other parks in the county are AMAZING, just steer clear of this place
ScoutWhitehorse Regional Park Campground is a Snohomish County public campground just north of Darrington, set in forest at the foot of Whitehorse Mountain in the North Cascades. It has 30 sites in three loops: an RV loop with full hookups and 50-amp power, an equestrian loop with corrals and a highline, and a tent-only loop. Amenities include a dump station, a restroom with showers (two ADA), a timber-framed picnic shelter, and water spigots. With 15 full-hookup sites, it's a rare full-service public campground — and a handy base for the Mountain Loop Scenic Byway, the Whitehorse Trail, the North Mountain mountain-bike trails, and Sauk River fishing and rafting, with downtown Darrington just minutes away. Open roughly mid-March through mid-October; reservations through Snohomish County Parks.
ScoutBeautiful area with friendly community.
GuideAs cyclists, we really enjoyed this state park. The hiker/biker sites are in a wooded area removed from the other sites which makes them peaceful. Good bathroom and shower amenities, picnic tables by the hiker/biker sites and in the day use area, and a lovely ocean view. Love the cheap, first come first serve option for those arriving by human power! There is also access to a store with supplies and firewood nearby. We enjoyed this spot because we could bike from our home in North Seattle, take the ferry from Edmonds and do a quick one-nighter over here.
GuideThis little campground is a great option for seeing another island in the San Juans by human power. They have great hiker/biker/kayaker spots. I stayed here twice, once with my partner and once solo. The island is quite small and great for a ride around after setting up camp. There is a small beach at the campground and local shop by the ferry in town. This is the easiest spot for camping by bicycle with children as it's so close to the ferry terminal. I felt safe camping solo here right after Labor Day even though it was fairly quiet.
GuideI have camped here numerous times via bicycle solo, with my partner and with friends In July and September. You can't beat the view of the ocean and campers come out to sit on the hill each night to watch the sunset together, which is pretty epic. Biker/hiker/kayaker sites are available first come, first serve in a corral setting in the field. Limited amenities - bathroom, water and shared picnic tables - but the setting and price are great. You may even get lucky and see whales!
TravelerMe and my boyfriend had a lovely weekend camping here at site #9…this site in particular has a little trail leading to a quiet creek behind where the fire ring is at. The site also came with 2 tent pads, even though I paid regular price. Absolutely gorgeous! We highly recommend Big Four ice caves about 30 minutes from the campground. Only downside is that you are right off the highway at this campground. If you are on the outer edge of the loop (not on the river) you can see guard rails depending where you are at lol
