The best dog-friendly RV camping in Ross Lake

·

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.

The site sits next to the property owner’s second site. There is some division with a partial hedge and tree line, but if the site next-door is occupied, you’ll have neighbors in fairly close proximity. This didn’t really affect our experience, but if you have a larger group, or desire more privacy I would both book of Dan’s sites. Yes, there is a quite community drive that goes along the front of the site, but there is such little traffic, and a few trees breaking-up the view, that it doesn’t impact the stay at all. The location is great, right along the Skagit River, near the entrance to North Cascades National Park, and a few area state parks. The town of Concrete has a Red Apple grocery store for supplies. Still, I would suggest getting the bulk of your supplies in Burlington before heading out into the more rural areas. Upon arrival, the property owner, Dan, was there to briefly greet us as he was at the adjacent site doing some work. Dan is friendly, flexible, and a quick with communications. He assured us he would be on-hand through text or calls if we had any questions, but everything went smoothly. Yes, there are cameras on the property, but they seemed to be more for general security rather than snooping. Still, you will notice their presence. The grounds feature electrical and water hookups, a few picnic tables, and fire ring. There is not a sewage hookup, but you can pay a small fee at nearby campgrounds to dump. Overall, a great stay!

From the moment I pulled into this campsite I knew it was getting put down as one of my favorite go to campsites. The location next to the creek is honestly one of the best. The host gave directions to the gated camp site along with the camp site location with in and honestly they couldn’t have given a more detailed list of directions, thank you!!! It’s in a gated community but secluded and private enough for you to enjoy your time. The bathroom was clean, the lot was clean, and let me just say the beauty that lies within the gated community was a PLUS PLUS. I had problems with the lights it wasn’t an issue at all, because I was there to camp, but the host was definitely up and beyond very attentive to the problem which for sure made this one of my absolute favorite places I’ve camped at yet, so YES I will definitely be coming back here FOR SURE!!!

We enjoyed our time camping here as a family. The location on the Skagit River was beautiful and we had plenty of space. We enjoyed easy access to hikes in the North Cascades. The club house was comfortable and we appreciated the bath house and outdoor kitchen area. They also had a washer and dryer available but we didn’t need to use it this time. Recommend backing in of traveling with a travel trailer.

I highly recommend this site and would absolutely stay here again!

The campsite was very nice, I would definitely book again. The main area is all gravel but fairly level with options to place a few tents. Unfortunately I didn't stay long, but the site was very private and quiet - no one drove by while I was there and basically all I could hear at night was the sound of the creek. I'm not sure why they don't have any pictures of the interior of the bathroom on the posting - it's a full on indoor bathroom with a flushing toilet, sink, and lights like you would have in a small house - glamping vibes. The one thing I will mention is that check-in and check-out was via a lock box up in Marblemount - it was right on the way for me and I had to go to the permit office in town after checkout anyway, but if you're choosing the site for proximity down Cascade River Road you may have to backtrack a bit for checkout. Joy was very communicative, so she may be able to accommodate a different checkout situation if needed.

Excellent site! It is really spacious and sits high above the river with easy path down. Great for kids as they have space to run, but you don’t have to worry about them running straight to the river when you blink. There’s a good mix of shade and sun so you can pick your fancy. Also some trees for a hammock! The road on the other side of the river is slightly noticeable, but I’ll take that for the views! Even though there are houses across the street and nearby you never really heard anyone. Has running water and power, which is great if you have a trailer, but even tent camping being able to easily clean dishes and feet was really nice. The river was the perfect depth and speed (camping in july) for the older kids and with enough bank for the babies to stand on the shore and splash. Would absolutely stay again! And there is WiFi if you want to work/camp (we could have stayed longer if I thought about that when booking!)

We have a very quiet and safe place for anyone to enjoy. If you just want to sit and relax or take your lawn chairs down to the creek with a beverage while you soak your feet. We have the most beautiful sunsets, and if you're lucky, maybe even get to see some elk up close. We are on 30 acres, so many places to choose from to set up camp. Lots of hiking close by.
