Best Campgrounds near Snohomish, WA

1,297 Reviews

Campgrounds near Snohomish, Washington range from established county parks to RV resorts, with varied accommodations for tent campers, RV travelers, and those seeking cabin rentals. Flowing Lake Park & Campground offers tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins with year-round availability, while Thousand Trails Thunderbird in Monroe provides similar options approximately 10 miles south of Snohomish. The area features several lakefront properties including Silver Lake RV Park and Lake Pleasant RV Park in nearby Bothell, creating a mix of natural settings with relatively convenient access to urban amenities.

Most developed campgrounds in the region require reservations, particularly during summer months when demand peaks. Flowing Lake Park receives consistently high ratings for its spacious sites, though the roads within the campground can present challenges for larger vehicles. "The roads and some spots are pretty tight and windy so 5th wheels be aware," noted one visitor about Flowing Lake. Water and electrical hookups are common at established sites, though dump stations are limited, with some campgrounds lacking this amenity entirely. Weather remains mild year-round with some sites offering all-season camping, though winter brings increased rainfall and cooler temperatures.

Campers report varying experiences with amenities and natural features throughout the area. Several visitors mentioned the lake access at Flowing Lake as a highlight, though reviews indicate the swimming areas could use improvement. "The swimming area is also just rock and mud. A few loads of sand would make it infinitely better," according to one review. Evergreen State Fairgrounds offers basic camping with proximity to events but receives lower ratings due to noise from the adjacent racetrack. For those seeking a wilderness experience, Verlot Campground, located approximately 20 miles northeast of Snohomish in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, provides a more remote setting with fewer amenities but greater natural immersion. Privacy between sites varies significantly across properties, with county-managed sites generally offering better separation and tree cover than private RV parks.

    Old Cascades Highway Dispersed

    Bigfoot Lives Here

    If he doesn't, then he's missing out on the most Idyllic campsite ever! There are no fewer than 9 campsites within less than a mile either side of the bridge. The one directly on the south side of the bridge is 4wd access only because of the big rocks protruding into the road bed. But if you go about 3/4 mile up from the bridge, you'll find the most superb spot ever. There is nothing here for TT or large RV's, for small van-lifers and such, it's a pot of gold. There are two absolutely beautific sites at the 3/4mile area. Both sites can access the river for water (it's a small, steep hill). There are no toilets, cell service was spotty, Starlink worked fine.

    John Wayne's Waterfront Resort

    Quiet this time of year

    Right across John Wayne marina. Full hook ups. Trails behind rv sites for walks and close to discovery trail for biking or walking long distances. Close to town but away from traffic and traffic noises

    Cascades RV Resort

    Cascades RV Resort

    We are long term RV campers here at Cascades. It is a lovely RV resort with large concrete pads with astroturf lawn and picnic table. Everyone is friendly. Nightly noise is never excessive. Gracie’s place is an onsite cafe that serves food, alcohol, deserts, coffees, and other drinks. You can get package delivery just no USPS. They do offer monthly discounts. Would highly recommend for anyone in an RV.

    Thousand Trails Mount Vernon

    Private wooded site

    I loved the forest here. It was a very wooded site. Groceries were reasonably priced. We took a day trip to the cascades.

    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.

    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!

    Great large flat spot for camping. Could easily fit about 5 cars here. About 4 fire rings set up and the road is pretty easy getting here.

    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.
