Best RV Parks & Resorts near Skykomish, WA

This is a big park that is part of Thousand Trails.  No sales pitch to join, which was nice.  Rangers were super nice.  Bathrooms very new and clean.  Lots of trees between sites.  Hard to find one in the sun if that is what you are looking for.  Looked like lots of long term campers.  Very quiet.  We enjoyed see the surrounding area - Beaver Lake Park, Carnation, Fall City.  Didn't make it to Snoqualmie Falls, maybe next time.

The campground for being Thousand Trails was pleasant. We were able to find a spot easily enough. Our issue was finding availability for us and our daughter arriving the next day. The full hookup sites are close together and not great IMHO. We settled for the spore in the Lakeview area. This area of the campground will accommodate up to 22’ RV’s. Water and 110 electric. Quite dusty but it worked. The lake is nice, the trails around the grounds are fun. For the grandkids there is a lot to do and that was the draw for us this time. We prefer disbursed off grid most of the time to this type of campground.

There aren’t many rv parks that are close (35ish mins) to Seattle but this is the best option. Office staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean, laundry is cheap ($1 wash), maintenance staff is constantly tending to the grounds, full hook ups, and cute (short) hiking paths surrounding the park. The lake is more of a murky pond and the geese are happy residents here so expect a lot of goose poop at any spot near the water. There’s also no dog park.

There aren’t that many hookups so if you’re looking for full service make sure you do your research. Excellent RV resort. Might want to go alternate route and not Chumstick

We picked tall chief because it was close to home for our first trip with new trailer, it was end of july 2020 online reservation were easy,got there and they were real nice and helpfull. Is thick trees and open spaces dudent give 5 stars because some of the full timers there space looks trashy!,and they need to clean up but everything else seemed good,if not a member of thousand trails or encore it can be expensive.

A new and clean RV resort about 1 hour from Seattle.

Big shower spaces for free.

Coffee and cafe on side.

Gas stations and McDonalds next to the resort 1 mile from town of Sultan

This is a great RV resort. The picture on the app is not at all what this place looks like. A Quiet oasis tucked into the forest. The new and clean bathrooms and showers were a real treat after a 2100 mile journey from Texas. Staff was super helpful when we called and helped us reserve our spot. Hookups were easy but there is no cable tv hookups which we didn’t need. There are some permanent residents here but their places were clean and tidy. We sat out and had cocktails until after midnight doing our best to be quiet but I know several times we might have been a little loud. Our neighbor never said a word. This is a great place and if we ever have the need again and are close by, we certainly will be back.

They require you to cancel 7 days prior to your trip. If you do not, they take your money and offer no refund. Not even hotels do this. I had a situation where my daughter wasn't going to go to her softball tournament(which was the reason I was staying at the campground). The team had to back out 3 days prior. I only made the reservation 4 days ago, tried to cancel, was informed they wouldn't give me my$ back. Basically, since I made the reservation 4 days prior to the trip, with their horrible policy, I couldn't EVER cancel and get my$ back. Customer service doesn't matter to these people. It's all about taking your$. I would recommend finding another place to camp. This was in Late September so not even peak season. We camped at Lake Sawyer RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.

Fantastic spot to stay or pass through to fill up/empty. They have water, propane, and a dump. They also have great long-term rates.

Looking for a mini resort with activities for kids? This might fit the bill. We met our daughter and our Grandkids for a four day trip I. Our RV’s. Personally l, not I or my daughter would normally stay at an RV Park. We prefer disbursed or boondocking. This review takes that into account.

All of the full hookups were close together, not private and crowded. We elected for the Water 110 electric hook up. The site was dusty, and the spaces somewhat spread apart. No real privacy. For the kids the pool, lake, miniature golf, game room etc. was fun. The campground is about 30 minutes from Levenworth. The girls all wen shopping in town and had a great time. It’s a nice Barivian village. My grandson and I found a forest road and went wheeling. We had a great time.

The campground was very clean and parking a 25 ft trailer was easy. Many camping spots for trailers. Camp fill up quickly. Quiet place. Large camping spots. Clean toilets. Creek and river access from campground.

Close to Leavenworth with full hook-ups. Spots are small and close together.

We 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.

Very well maintained and beautiful setting. Full hook ups, right on the Wenatchee River with easy access and a few sand beaches. Great place for paddle boarding or just floating in the cool water. Friendly and helpful staff. We will be staying again for sure.

First off, I give a three star only because of my own experiences. Please read through as I know many reviews aren't very descriptive.... Tall Chief is beautiful if you ask me. This was our first stay in our Thousand Trails membership. Being from the Midwest and Denver where it's lacking, the greenery of the area is actually quite stunning. The staff were all very friendly and remained so for the entire two weeks we stayed. We didn't use the pool area but it looked clean and well kept. It and the other lodge are easily accessible and from my understanding are great places to go if you DO need wifi. There is no wifi in the camp. We had full 5G service here with Verizon. The other campers seemed fairly clean while we were there. A few sites did look like they exploded from the inside out. I'm assuming those were long termers. Far and in between though.

I do have to knock a star for the fact no sites have sewer hookups. This is fairly understandable though as it appeared that a service needs to pump the septic tank by the dump station for the entire park. Most people I saw had a honey wagon. We don't have room for one so we used a pumping service halfway through our time there. The park provided the information for the service. It was $60 though. I'm assuming a sewer overhaul would be overly costly. It DOES make you a bit more conscious of water usage though. We had to take showers at the facilities which are kept up fairly well.

Knocking another star as the majority of the sites are only 30 amp with antiquated posts. There are a few 50 amp sites but from what I saw they were all taken by RVers that are there on a more permanent basis. If you want/need one, you cannot get one. Normally 30 amp posts are sufficient but we ended up here during a heat wave and an entire section of the park blew after having several days of power issues (one of which was our site). The staff were very accommodating as they were just as upset about the outage and caught off guard as we were. Luckily we were able to move to a new site with a newer power post. Still 30 amp though. Luckily it cooled off quickly in the following days. The power grid definitely needs an upgrade. Especially as RVs have gotten larger.

All in all, fantastic stay. Don't let a 3-star deter you from your own opinion.

We stopped here so we could leave the camper trailer and run into Seattle for the evening. Worked great! The road in is a bad as it gets still being able to haul a camper trailer. We literally went 0-5 MPH and it took awhile! We did first come first serve and found a site easily on a Monday. Lovely site, super remote feeling, but you can hear I90 right across the stream! Trash was not managed well and camp host wasn’t really around that we saw.

This is a smaller spaced out campground.  It's on the southFork of the Snoqualmie River and the water level varies with the season. There is plenty of access points to the river.

The campground has hook ups for RVs and trailers and a group site, which was in an area by itself, super convenient for big groups. There is a host on site and an info center and the center of the camp ground.  Each site has a picnic bench and a fire pit with grate. A few of the RV sites are pull through making parking very easy. Franklin Falls is very close, a short drive or longer walk. Didn't go this time, but will next trip.

The camp ground was sold out when we went, so get your reservations in early, don’t count on walk in. On the drive in there are many shots to dead out camp though.
