A very nice County park. This is a publicly owned park and campground. No alcohol is allowed in the campground or the park at all and is clearly posted but having a beer in a unmarked cup won't get you thrown out. Getting loud might get you thrown out because that's when they come to see if you have been drinking. I've camped here more then a few times and the sites are well spaced and secluded. More then half the sites are pull thru. All have electricity hookups but no water or sewer. Water is available out common use spigots so you can fill your fresh water tank easily. The nearest dump station is about 5 miles away at Lake Goodwin State park. The campground is VERY clean and quiet. Well maintained and a trail down to the bay is located within the campground. Some campsites have a view of the water but most don't due to the dense foliage and trees.This year they added a new restroom with a shower. Very nice. All campsites have a firepit. Firewood is available at the campground and it's cheap! When you register you can pay for firewood by the dollar amount. 5 dollars will give you a nice pile. the beauty of the system they have is they bring the firewood to your site and stack it neatly near your firepit. This is a first-come, First-served campground but they have yurts that are available on a reserve basis. The only minus about this campground is the distance to the beach. It's a long walk downhill but if you like walking, you'll find plenty of trails or just take a long beach walk. The beach is very well maintained and has numerous picnic shelters and firepits as well. The beach has a fee to enter if you are not camping but all campers get free access. We camped here in a camper.
This campground looks much better on the website than it is in real life! The sites were crammed so close together that we couldn't even put out our awning and an RV with slides would have a hard time opening them. The people in the site beside us had to move their vehicle so that we could back in because the site was so narrow (and we do this often and know how to back into tight spots!). It was dirty and the sites were poorly laid out- water and electrical hook ups were on opposite ends of the site. There are many permenant residents who don't keep their sites clean. The "playground" advertised on the website consists of one rutsy old swing set. Overall, it felt dirty and grungy and far, far overpriced. The worst campground I've ever stayed in. We couldn't wait to get out of there and we won't be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Seasonals held most of the lakefront spaces. Lakefront spaces are really narrow. Don't plan on putting out an awning unless the person next to you is already there. Otherwise you'll stick out too far. The inside lots away from the lake were a little larger and cheaper. Cable TV in my space didn't work, but I used a neighbors hookup that had a satellite. Park was a little rowdy at night. As seems to be the norm, the seasonals had a little more leeway in the rules. The space I was in was level. Mangement was nice. Not sure if I'll go back though. We camped here in a camper.
Nice park for boaters, as it is located on beautiful Lake Goodwin. Sites would have been really close if park was full, but we were 1 of only 2 campers in our loop. Paid $25 and $7 reservation fee. This is similar fee to a private park, yet must buy tokens to take shower and there is also a fee to dump tanks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a small state park. The web site indicates that it's located 18 miles northwest of Everett, WA; but it's actually closer to Stanwood, WA. The higher numbered spots, which are non-utility, are closed in the winter. The utility sites, which are both pull-through and back-in, have water and electric only, no sewer. There is a sewer dump with easy access on the way out of the park. The electric service is 20, 30, and 50 amp. The pull-through sites are in an open area, are somewhat close together, and can only accommodate RV's up to 30 feet. The back-in sites are in the trees behind the open area; can accommodate the larger RV's, and are a little more spacious. The non-utility sites are located throughout the tree area. Some of the non-utility spots near the outer edge of the park are along a fence-line that appears to border a private residential area. (This could possibly be a problem for both park users and the residents on the other side of the fence!) Each camping site (both utility and non-utility) has a picnic table and a nice fire ring. The sites that are used all year have a sturdy picnic table made from recycled materials. The sites that are used only in summer have either a wooden, or wood/metal picnic table. Some of the sites are designated "pair" sites for people traveling together. The day-use area has a kitchen pavilion for groups, and an amphitheater. Restrooms were OK, but not really clean. And, typical for Washington state parks, the showers were 50 cents for three minutes. This is a good park if you are a boating enthusiast, as it is located close to a Lake Goodwin. Another camper that was there at the time had a fishing boat, caught a lot of trout, and gave me one of the caught trout. If you are not a boating fanatic, this park is good for an overnight (or for taking a new RV out to put it through its paces). We camped here in a Motorhome.
