Best Cabin Camping near Startup, WA

The prices for everything is amazing! The campsites are spacious and run along the creek! There are tent pads that make the ground not so hard under your tent. A table, grill and campfire ring at every site. The cabins are very nice! And are spacious as well. Have a porch swing, campfire ring, table and grill outside. Most cabins have an electric heater and a heat stove inside. The heat stove heats up the entire cabin very well!! They provide trash cans and bags and a broom to help keep the dirt cleaned up!

The bathrooms are very nice and clean. And they have firewood for sale on site. There is an attendant that will be there after work hours for people who are arriving late to get you checked in and answer questions you have. There are a couple of hiking trails, twin lakes, boats, canoes, and bikes to rent on site. There is also an enclosed dog park on site. There are tent sites, cabins, rv sites and even little apartments to rent for your stay. Great place and only 25 miles from town!

Jim creek military campground is beautiful. 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.

In character, this is more of an RV park than a campground. While there are some people staying just with tents, most have RVs or fifth wheels. Privacy between sites is limited, as well mostly find in such settings. But, still, I can recommend this place even to tenters. The park is wonderfully kept, there are group shelters where you can eat comfortably even in the rain and the cabins offered or nice – A couple of regular ones and a couple of open bunk cabins. All of them in good repair. The setting is beautiful in a verdant and interesting valley, right by the river. There is a small local bar/diner just a few steps away and a boat ramp on the same property.

Maybe half full in late March. Sites have decent space. Rocky Beach and some short hikes. Cabins seem to be more of a party area so choose sites away from there if you want quiet.

Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this property that offers 6 private cottages with a private jacuzzi. "What makes Country Cottage of Langley special is the fact that each of our Cottages sits among the life and color of our famous gardens. You can enjoy the sweet scent of flowers in bloom from the patio of your Cottage or listen to the croak of the Pacific chorus frog." Check them out and leave some reviews!

This is the cleanest, prettiest, best maintained campground I’ve stayed at in my 9 months of travel! Clean, beautiful park-like setting with Skagit River next to it. Great little playground for kids, birdhouses, flowers, hot showers, wifi - what more could you need. RVs and tent campers, and cabins. I highly recommend it

This is a small park along the west side of the rather large Camano Island. There’s boating and a few small trails, if you don’t have a boat or don’t plan to fish or crab there’s not much to do but sit and enjoy the waves with a picnic. There’s another state park up the road with more swimming. The cabins are modern but feel more rustic than a motel and put you right in the middle of the island’s charm and beauty.

Great spot for living by the water for a few days. Plenty to do as long as you're into beach-combing, hiking, crabbing, fishing, kayaking, or just watching the water. There's a sweet spot late summer when you can add berry-picking to the activities list. It gets quite busy, but not as overrun as other parks in the islands. This place is ideal for tent camping and hiking around the green trails with pretty awesome views of the sound. If you'd rather go RV/cabin experience, you might be better off down the road at Cama (?) I think.

It’s 9:30, and the full hookup sites are blaring “how to save a life” by the fray, two sites down there’s an odd couple with a trailer arguing over the generator. I can hear the crowd in the little cabins on the other side of the campground. There’s no privacy here. The sites are all right on top of each other. Just hope you get a day when the crowd is good. On the bright side, the rest of the sites are being considerate, it’s open in winter, they have showers, and there are three tent sites for $20/night. Ear plugs are of good use here. We are using it as a stop over on our way out to the other side of the peninsula.

Camano Island State Park has a beach, camp sites and a hiking trail. They even have little rustic cabins for rent. That would be a fun low key weekend trip. The hiking trail is a little 3 mile loop with beautiful views.

When you enter the park if you keep driving to the end of the road you’ll get to a large parking lot. Drive to the furthest point of that and you’ll reach this beach access. This is a great place to walk on the beach or let your dog go for a swim.

On your way home I recommend stopping at the Camano Island Inn and getting a glass of wine and a snack. They have a big back yard with tables and will allow your dog to dine out there with you if it’s not too crowded. There is a lovely view of the water and you can pick a table on their deck or right on the lovely grass.

We stayed with several families at the group site with a mixture of trailers, tents, and tents on cars. The trailers ranged in size from 22’ to 36’ and we found ample space for each.

This site has close access to the bathrooms shared with those staying in the cabins. Peekaboo views of the water between the trees.

The site has several campsites that branch off of the road through the site which is also a trail. It has a central gravel area for a large group or trailers next to a large field area. There is no kitchen shelter, just picnic tables, fire pits, and a grill.

The site feels very private but you have people passing on the trail/road, which runs through the middle of camp, at regular intervals.

The park is full of steep hills which can make those with mobility challenges or kids wanting to ride bikes tough. The road to the beach is very steep.

Bring bug spray as mosquitoes were vicious as well as the yellow jackets.

General: A variety of options from cabins to tent sites to RV sites with electric and water hookups on the Skagit River. 

Site Quality: With the exception of the ADA-accessible sites and the sites directly on the river, sites are gravel. All appeared to be level. Sites have nice tree cover separating them.

Bath/Shower house: Code entry and they were clean. Showers are $1 for four minutes and a quarter for each continuous minute thereafter. Didn’t use so cannot comment on them (except that hooks are outside of the shower stall, compromising privacy a bit). 

Activities: There is some nice playground equipment and horseshoe pits (not sure if you have to bring your own horseshoes). There is a trail, but a sign was posted saying there was a recent cougar siting, so I took a pass on that one! Saw a boat on the river with people fishing. 

We ended up here since our planned campground was closed due to recent fires. We arrived at 3 pm on a Thursday the week after Labor Day and there were plenty of sites, so the host gave us an ADA-accessible site since it was larger. We appreciated the helpfulness of the host for a last-minute reservation and the price was reasonable.

I love this campground I stayed here to complete a natural resource college assignment and I will return many times. Beautiful and has all the user rentals. Those are cool. I recommend this campground.

Well maintained campground even though it is quite large. If there is any kind of wind - the kayak rental will be closed so be aware. Plenty of tree cover say most sites. Very clean facilities. Note that you won’t get that secluded feeling here. This is a full service campground.

All the sites here were beautiful many different spots to access the water. There were kayak and paddle board rentals availble at the main beach. We rented a double kayak for 2 hours for $45! Kayak the island and check it out if you have time. Also plan on spending a day in Leavenwoeth since it is only a 20 minute drive away!

This campground was awesome! We got super lucky and found one camp ground someone must have canceled and we were able to book the camp ground! The lake is absolutely beautiful and there are quite a few trails to do around the lake! Also they offer rentals for sup boards and kayaks too. This is a must go if you haven’t but make sure to book in advance to Ghana spot!

Easy to access, has bathrooms on site. Will require a State Park Pass, they do check vehicles and ticket people ($10 for day & $30 for one year.) It is a fun day try or a overnight stay. Rentals are available or you can bring your own accommodations. The beach stretches for miles with views of Mt. Baker. Lots of marine life to see. If you are lucky you may even see whales of different varieties go by. Explore the old fort that is open all the time. Or join a guided tour. Check out the store and museum setup that they have. Watch Eagles fly over and land on trees by the old fort very cool to see

This place has everything, including some serious wind and freezing mornings. Bring your paddle boards, kayaks and floatation islands, though the water was cold my family never left the water. One day was so windy not only was rentals closed, but the cold lake was not appetizing. Instead we drove to Safeway in Leavenworth, went shopping in town and picked up pizza from Rudloof’s Pizza and Brats, greasy, but incredible. I wish we planned white water rafting in Leavenworth, it seemed like a few fellow campers were planning to. Fire ban was a bit of a bummer, but understood, I wish I had a propane fire pit for those cold mornings. My family will be back.
