Goodell Creek Campground — Ross Lake National Recreation Area
Reviewed Aug. 9, 2022

Beautiful Campsites on the Skagit River

I was able to score site 19 right on the river because of a no-show.. The scenery is stunning. The river is a beautiful shade of green because of the glacial “milk”. This is a primitive campground with no hook-ups, but there is potable water located in the loops. There are bear containers, picnic tables, and fire pits. There are vault toilets located in the loops, but they are not in great condition. Fair Verizon signal so I was able to get online. Too many trees for Starlink. I was awakened at 5:50 a.m. because the flood evacuation siren went off– apparently a false alarm. It was a bit unnerving. I spent the next night in Newhalem Creek Campground which is right“next door”. This has better infrastructure.
