Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Skagit River RV and Camping

We loved this camp ground. It was such a convenient location to get to the North Cascades and Mount Baker National Forest. There were views of surrounding mountains from every site. The campground was clean and the bathrooms and showers in great condition. And the camp hosts were accommodating and friendly. The only thing I wish we knew beforehand was that our site did not have any shade in the afternoon so our camper got pretty hot in the afternoon. Our site seemed to be only our site with this issue due to the side the hookups were on. Every other site was shaded by trees or their camper in the afternoon but just something of note when booking. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the campground to anyone looking to explore the nearby trails!

3 nights at Skagit River RV and Camping

We usually try and stay on people’s properties and not in RV resorts, but we quite enjoyed this one. They greet you when you get there and show you your spot and answer any questions you have. Everyone staying there was friendly and kept to themselves. Clean. No noise issues and dumpster at the back of the property. Would stay here again if in the area.

Weekend Trip to A place by the creek

This was the perfect spot to camp for my birthday weekend! It comfortably fit 5 tents and 4 cars!! The creek was so lovely to fall asleep to, the fire pit was perfect for a nighttime fire, and the hosts communicated promptly and efficiently. I would recommend anyone to stay here if they’d like to have a great weekend. The place was a bit hard to find, but the hosts gave great instructions on how to find it.

Weekend Trip to Buster's on the Sauk River

It was a very quiet and peaceful location right next to a river. My dog had a blast running around and going from the boat launch and back to our site. There was nobody else there the weekend we went but the site 1 and 2 are far apart I feel like each site is its own lil peaceful place. I look forward to going back and maybe bringing more family and friends.

Weekend Trip to Feral Farm

We loved Rusty (the campground dog) and the campground was just lovely! Matthew was a wonderful host and brought us firewood which was a big help!

Weekend Trip to A place by the creek

Joy's spot is absolutely a hidden gem right at the entrance to the North Cascades. I am not kidding when I say this was one of the best HipCamp experiences I've had. The spot was right next to a babbling creek, which was heaven to fall asleep to. Having a flushable toilet and running water was next level and really made the experience so enjoyable. We sat in the gazebo when it rained, and had a fire in the fire pit when it cleared up. The neighborhood itself was gorgeous and was really enjoyed walking our dog in the area. The property is very secluded, so be sure to follow the map closely once you're in the neighborhood. Picking up the key in town was very straight forward. I'm already planning my next trip. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Feral Farm

The Fairy Meadow was beautiful and private. Matthew was very nice and answered all our questions. I would definitely camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Camp Hideaway

We had a blast during our stay. The cabin was clean, cozy, tucked away in the forest, and you can tell Lorrie put a lot of thought and love into the property. She was a fantastic and thoughtful host, and we hope to be back again someday soon.

Weekend Trip to North Cascades Basecamp

Beautiful and well maintained property close to several hiking trails and river activities. The sites feel secluded and comfortable. Signage on the property is a little confusing but it is easy enough to figure out where you should go once you park and walk around. All amenities were working as they should. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Weekend Trip to Hideaway cedars campground

Just outside North Cascades, great little campground with nice bathrooms (including shower), fire ring and tables. The owner came to say hi and told me about a little trail down to the lake near the place.

Weekend Trip to North Cascades Basecamp

This was a lovely accommodation. The restroom and sink was very well kept. We stayed in campsite #1 and it was beautiful with lots of space. It was a little close to the road but still very private.

Weekend Trip to Winedown Camp at Boulder Creek

We loved staying at winedown camp in our pop-up camper! A beautiful site, with the perfect privacy, sounds of the creek and space to explore! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Weekend Trip to Cascade River Retreat

The campground was clean and well stocked. We stayed at walk-in site 13. Sites 12 13 and 14 are nice and secluded. Sites 15 16 and 17 would be great for a larger group. We will be coming back.

Weekend Trip to North Cascades Basecamp

Great tent spot! Private, clean, and nicely surrounded by trees and ferns. It was easy to get to from the parking spot (even moreso thanks to the nice cart near the lot). Great Basecamp for exploring the North Cascades.

Weekend Trip to Tamihi Meadows

Wife and I loved tamihi campground. The view of the river was beautiful and the campsite was very clean. Will come back for sure.

2 nights at Skagit River RV and Camping

Such a beautiful campsite! We stayed for two nights and it was lovely. The hosts are super nice and accommodating. Very clean bathrooms and showers!

2 nights at Buster's on the Sauk River

It was a very peaceful trip, site #1 was literally right on the water I would 100% recommend for a single camper or at most 4 people

1 night at North Cascades Basecamp

It was a perfect spot. Very clean and nice and private. Very

Weekend Trip to Magic Mountain Camp Experience

Positives: The camp site was amazing, beautiful and a very short walk from where we parked. The host was polite and responsive. We actually got to hear some wolfies, which was awesome. :) Negatives: The path to the camp site was a bit narrow, the parking spot was smaller than our truck, and the trail to the lake was overgrown and not passable. Overall: An amazingly relaxing weekend. Would absolutely camp here again.

1 night at Feral Farm

Matthew was an amazing host and we would definitely come back here to camp again for sure! :) This was our first time camping out and testing our new tent and having the canopy, propane cook stove, tables, plastic chairs, fresh paper towels, fire pit and our own little out house was perfect. My kiddos love running around all the campsite playing soccer and in the dirt and with sticks and our little campfire too. Rusty the friendly doggy and Matthew stopped by so I could pay cash for some fire wood, card board and kindling and left us to do our thing. We went for a little hike to get to the creek which was like mint green color and a lot bigger than we expected. So it was my kiddos first time kayaking and another family was nice enough to help us get in and out of the kayak too. We're definitely gonna come back here again and was so happy to find somewhere cool to camp on the memorial day and it was definitely memorable for sure. :)

Adventure Basecamp

2 sites · RVs3 acres · Maple Falls, WA

Adventure Basecamp is a tranquil, primitive camp nestled in a cedar grove at the end of a private, unpaved road less than a quarter mile off Mt Baker Hwy in Maple Falls, WA. It is the perfect stopover for hiking or skiing Mt Baker or stage yourself here for a weekend of world class mountain biking, hiking or fishing. In camp, level parking pads are tucked in amongst the cedars and a communal picnic/seasonal fire area sits in the center. Peace and quiet greets you here...it's just you, the fauna and flora, and an occasional motorcycle passing by. Watch the sun set over a meadow to the west, marvel at the night sky, a stand of firs lies to the north, and the property is bordered to the east by a private logging road. Vehicles must be fully self contained to stay here; tent camping is not permitted. Adventure awaits you in Maple Falls! It is situated along the Nooksack River at the base of Mt Baker in the North Cascades. Outdoor recreation abounds...mountain bike, hike, fish, forage, paddle, ski, snowshoe, find a swimming hole...or simply drive 50 minutes up to Artist's Point with a picnic and soak in the beauty. When hanging around camp, stroll into town to shop at Crossroads Grocery and/or have a chat and a bevie at Barmann Cellars. Bay to Baker Trail, Red Mountain and the Nooksack are also accessible on foot or bike from camp. We are 10 min to North Fork Brewery and Silver Lake Park, 15 min to Glacier, 45 min to the Mt Baker ski area and 35 min to Bham. Plan to unplug...cell service is dodgy! The property is 3.5 acres over 2 parcels. It was heavily wooded and untended when we purchased last year and has recently been logged. Driving onto the property you'll pass the future garden site, outbuilding, homeowners' cabin, timber for milling and firewood, and, at the end of the road, you arrive at the tidy basecamp. In camp, there is a mound of hog fuel (mulch), a byproduct of logging that we will utilize, and the first stage of a hugelkultur berm that we are building to plant fruit trees. Beyond the basecamp, remnants from the logging project are visible. Sithmaith is a special property, and she is a work in progress.

Hammock Ranch

1 site · Tent20 acres · Princeton, BC

Our lake belongs to the beavers and ducks more than the humans. It’s an amazing place to watch, while swimming is best done at the river, a 5min drive away or half hour walk. A hike through the woods affords many opportunities to discover secret spots carved out of the wilderness with private views of the lake and surrounding properties. The rare wildlife around includes bobcats, bears, cougars, deer, elk and the occasional wolf. Ermine, rabbits and grouse are also common sightings. We have 2 dogs and appreciate a chance to introduce them to your dogs so they understand you’re authorized visitors, once you’ve settled in and your animals are comfortable. Thank you for your understanding!

Skagit river camping and sauna

17 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Sedro Woolley, WA

End of the road. Start of an epic camping weekend. River to the side, Cascade foothill surround. Each site has river access except for lookers left which is not accessible due to the steep grade. All the siteshave nice sand for kids to play in. Close to the north cascades. Minutes from live music, bars and quality mexican restaurant. Rails to trail for bikes and walking. Tward the end of july the river starts to recede opening up more possibilities of having interaction with the river. That being said its crucial you keep an eye out on your kids. We had a guy out here who almost killed his kids multiple times underestimating the current. Watch out!!Kinda going for the peaceful, listen to the river and birds, vibe.

Feral Farm

2 sites · Tents46 acres · Rockport, WA

A 46 acre off grid communitiy nestled within an established food forest. A mile of trails, a creek/pond, established agroforestry plantings and multiple examples of tiny homes and natural buildings dot the landscape. All within the context of a mature and established forest. The camping sites are private and removed from the bustle of the farm. History: the farm was started in 1997. Matt Van Boven (your host and the owner) started on raw land and built all of the infrastructure with the help of many interns over the years. Every edible plant that could be grown here has been trialed. No irrigation, fertilizer, or cultivation is used on the farm. Only the most resilient and adapted plants remain to this day. These include hundreds of nut and fruit trees as well as many perennial edibles. Much of the forest, itself has been managed with thousands of cedar trees planted among the existing vegetation. Besides the plantings, all manner of natural buildings are represented. Cordwood and cob being a few of the methods explored. The farm has a collection of tiny homes that surround a core of utilitarian structures and provide housing to an eclectic bunch of forest folk. The land is uniquely situated on the confluence of two major rivers (the Sauk and the Skagit). The creek is an old river channel that is now abandoned. A couple sit-on-top kayaks are available to use to explore. For the adventurous, a trail carries on from the creek to the river itself. The trail system is a labor of love crafted over the last 20 years. Almost a mile of manicured trails weave their way around the plantings and forest. The trees are almost 100 years old with some very large specimens of both maple and cedar. The farm is completely off grid and has been so since its inception. Working with limited means has been a theme in the design and development. Living in a more ecological way has been a major inspiration for us and we hope that you, as a guest, not only have an enjoyable stay but also leave inspired to change your life in a similar direction!

Camping on Ross Lake guide

Overview

Camping at Ross Lake gives new meaning to “getting off the grid”. Tucked deep in the North Cascades of Washington, this reservoir isn’t accessible by car (on the U.S. side, anyway). You can hike in —or, paddle from Diablo Lake up Riprap Creek and portage your boat overland to Ross Lake.

It takes some effort to get in, but the work is well worth the reward. Wake up to views of snow-capped summits at your lakeside campsite. Fish from the shore, or paddle out into the brilliant blue water.

Feel like a walk? The Pacific Northwest Trail and the East Bank Trail are right in your backyard. Hike along the 23-mile lake toward Canada. On the Sourdough Mountain Trail, you can climb high into the Cascades. From there, the views over North Cascades National Park are breathtaking.

There are 19 campgrounds on Ross Lake, each with 1-7 campsites. Whether you choose a boat-in or trail-accessible site, you’ll need to get a backcountry permit. At Ross Lake Resort, you can rent boats and book floating cabins.

Spring, summer, and fall are the best times for camping in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. In the winter, heavy snow causes avalanches and road closures. Due to changing water levels, boating is possible from July through September.
