River Meadows Park

River Meadows Park draws swimmers and floaters to the Stillaguamish River, where a short walk from camp leads to a rocky beach with shallow water. The campground has 14 sites plus a few yurts, with spaces separated by large bushes that provide some visual privacy. Sites open onto a shared field, which creates a communal atmosphere but means foot traffic moves freely between areas. T-Mobile coverage is reported as spotty. Families and groups looking for camping near Arlington with direct river access will find this county-run park a functional base, though booking early is advisable since the small site count fills quickly in summer.

Just enough

The campground itself was a little out of the way, but overall a pretty good spot. Not sure if they have any utility sites, mine was not and they don’t have a dump station but do have potable water. The spaces are sectioned off by large bushes which was nice to have some privacy

Small, safe, friendly feel

There was only one site available when i was looking for a site (looking in June for August trip). Coming to the campground, i saw that at least 2 sites were unoccupied, so people didn’t show up. I would recommend if they sent a reminder email because people do forget, especially when booking further in advance. There were total maybe 10-15 sites, plenty of space for large two tents and 2+ cars per each. Campground felt safe. Clean bathrooms, hand sanitizer. River access nearby. Saw people floating on the river. Nice and shallow, clean rocky beach is just a short walk from the camp. Small campground, lots of families around. Sites open up to a field, so kids kept running through our campsite and all around, that felt weird. But it had a community feel. Sites should get a large dumpster because the two garbage cans that are near the water tap are kind hidden and fill up quick.

Head to the river!

Great little campground if you want to head to the river!

Small open campground for dry camping. 14 sites, a few yurts, and lots of day use space. Short walk to beach on river. Great river floating, swimming etc. Some trails and a huge open field for play!!

Due to COVID bathrooms were closed, port-o- potties were in place, and badly needed serviced. T-mobile cell service was spotty at best.

On hot days can be busy, but a great time was had by all.
