"We really enjoyed our stay here it was very quiet and peaceful sites were long and roomy with a fire ring and picnic table. Good cell service with AT&T and Sprint."
"Lots of trees in our section separating us but in other sections your really close to each other. It is first come first serve and lucky us we got 50 amp."

"They have water, propane, and a dump. They also have great long-term rates."
"We had a pull through and, while it wasn’t a huge amount of space, the trees between spots offered a really nice level of privacy."
$57 - $104 / night
"Great place, peaceful, lots of trees. All types of site- large, small, full hook ups (30&50) to rustic, small tent area. Water pressure challenges on hill, WiFi ok/slow."
"This is definitely a RV resort, but there are 5or 6 tent camping sites under some big trees which provide shade almost all day. Nice bathroom and showers."
"Look…it’s not a resort or a place you go to for the fun amenities. But, it’s 15 minutes to Seattle."
"But we found our ear plugs did a good job of quieting that noise enough for us to get a good sleep.
Once inside the park you’ll find it clean and green."
$45 - $70 / night
"Indoor pool, small playground, dog run and well marked facility. Each space is large enough for camper and your vehicle and comes with a small storage shed."
"Riverside no sewer hookups but have dump station by where you check in. Perfect to check in dump if you stay on river side. Train goes by various times."
"WiFi wasn’t the best but hot spots worked well enough. Showers and restrooms were clean"
$44 - $49 / night
"Had full hook up, everything worked as it should.
The store has a good stock of stuff."
"This is our first trailer camping trip ever so we wanted to start small and close to home."
"The proximity to the lake is very nice. The park is very well kept. This is a bit close to businesses, but still feels pretty sereen."
"The facilities are great and very clean, the park very quiet. There are a lot of big rigs parked there, some of the pm long-term as it seems. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely visit again."
"Limited space, place is mostly long term users. Nice facility very clean and well run."
"As full time travelers, staying in one campground for more than a few weeks was a scary proposition. We have found the atmosphere and staff here have been great."
"Full hook up and amenities"
ScoutThis is very much an RV park and not really a campground. Seems like a clean little park, but right in the middle of Lynnwood, so if you are looking for a rural setting this isn't for you.
They offer weekly and monthly rentals, so this is more of a long-term sort of place.

Requirements from their site:
TravelerAll 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. Campsite is on a bluff above the beach, but you can’t see the sunset from the campground you would have to go down to the beach. Bathroom/shower is typical for a state or county campground - functional, but zero elegance. This one is a county campground and state or federal passes do not apply. Water and 30 amp electric at all sites except one tent site. Douglas squirrels are common and shy. Pets are welcome on leash.
TravelerWe reserved a space for 1 night the day before. Great communication with Brett, everything went really smooth. The facilities are great and very clean, the park very quiet. There are a lot of big rigs parked there, some of the pm long-term as it seems. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely visit again.
ScoutThere are several long term campers here. The grounds are kept immaculate and they regularly update the sites. They hang wreaths for the winter holidays. Lawns mowed weekly.
All are level gravel. All have grass area, some with patio pad. There is a dog walk area and they are currently creating a dog fenced area at the end orf the two rows.
A caretaker is on site and will often help guide rigs into the sites (all are back-in).
Close to Poulsbo (a cute, Norwegian heritage town), Seattle ferry via Bainbridge Island and just over an hour to the Olympic National Park via the Hood Canal Bridge.
GuideIt had been 15 years at least since I'd been to Jim Creek. Since then, they've done some nice upgrades. The rv pads are double wide concrete pads about 50 feet long with full hook-ups. 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. This is also where you can rent equipment such as bikes, fishing poles, boats, etc. They also have a movie theater upstairs that operates on Saturday. This building has a 24 hour lounge with free wifi, TV, dvds, books, markers, coloring books, games, and other things for visitors to use. The wifi was only supposed to work inside the building, but I could pick it up in my campsite once or twice during our stay. Verizon cell service is very spotty. When I did pick it up, I only had one bar. There are several hiking trails and you can drive about 5 miles back to Twin Lakes to fish or just take a rented boat out or just enjoy the view. Jim Creek is a Naval Radio station and is for active duty military, retired, DoD, and reserves. There is a gate and you must show id to get in. Because of this and the base police roll through once or twice a day, I felt very safe compared to a state park or even a private campground. We camped Tuesday-Friday and even when it started filling up in Thursday, it was still super quiet at night. Quiet like not even bug sounds. That was wonderful.
GuideInteresting the other review was for a first time out with their travel trailer! Same for us!
We got site 106 which was the furthest one out, it was right along the river. The site has a concrete slab and fit our Jayco 174BH perfectly.
This site does is a back in, but the slab is at a 90 degree angle from the drive. So you will have to back your trailer around a corner if you plan to park it on the slab. Didn't see other sites like this.
The campground did have a very small selection of items to buy, but mainly snacks. They do fill propane tanks, but only during week days.
The site had water and electrical, but no sewer connections. they do have a nice dump station.
The camp ground itself did have at least 2 pet areas neither are fenced so a leash is required, along with a playground for the kids.
We have Verizon and had no issues with cell signal at this campground.
Also, this is a private campground, so they have a guy that stands at the gate to open it when guests come arrive.
LegendWonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets.
We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all.
Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.
RangerSince the reservation system does not allow same day reservations, we showed up hoping to grab one of the few available sights as first come, first served. There were 3 or 4 sites listed as available in the lower campground and we found one that was perfect for us. We had the choice between a full hook up site and a dry site and chose the latter as it was perfectly level and offered more privacy.
It’s interesting to note the different pricing levels from ‘popular’ to basic. Some sites were tightly packed and others were absolutely enormous with great views. Our site, 105, had a very tight neighboring spot on just one side (a no show which gave us a much roomier feeling) and an ample area with picnic table, fire pit, and enough room for two tents behind the pad. A short trail, albeit somewhat overgrown, at the back of our site lead right to the beach.
The campground, while quite full, was incredibly quiet. I’m sure things are different in the summer time with more families camping. The hosts and maintenance folks were all very friendly.
Perhaps my favorite part of this campground is the location with miles of beach to walk. I was surprised that with our frequent strolls on the beach with the pups, we only passed a small number of people.
The dump station worked as expected and had potable water available.
TravelerWe stayed 1 night here for the maiden voyage of our recently purchased travel trailer, which was nice since it's only about an hour away from our place near Seattle. Arrived Friday early evening and it wasn't busy at all.
The check-in process was easy, even though their reservation system was down at the time. Filled up w/ some fresh water at the dump station, which was clean and well maintained.
Campsites in the RV loop were spaced out enough with vegetation between them so as to provide some privacy. Our site had a pull-through driveway, 30amp hookup, a fire ring and picnic table. Bathrooms in that loop were pretty nice... heated and very clean.
Took a walk down to the day use area by the river, which was easy for us, but some portions of the trails closer to the river were slightly overgrown w/ a few obstacles, which could be problematic for some. Didn't see any kids play structures down there, which would be nice to have for families.
We heard a couple trains while there, but the noise wasn't too loud. Never heard the fire siren that they warned us about. Overall, it was a good camping experience for a quick trip and would return!
