5 nights at Skagit River RV and Camping

Skagit River RV was a great place to stay. It has quick access to the Cascades park and the National Park was absolutely amazing!!!

2 nights at Skagit River RV and Camping

The backwoods area was great because it’s decently secluded!

Weekend Trip to Rusty Ranch Tree Farm and Forest

We really enjoyed the time here. The spot was level, well groomed, very clean outhouse, and a covered picnic table. The covered area was large enough that woe could have pitched our tent under it, and still had room for the table. The host was very friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. There is a snack shake at the main building to buy snacks, firewood, water, sweatshirts, and the like. We barely heard our "neighbors" at the other campsites, and only saw a few people. It felt like having the place to ourselves. We saw lots of eagles and hawks, and even had an owl land on my son's camera tripod when he was standing 3 feet away. That was a once in a lifetime experience. We would recommend this spot happily.

3 nights at Rusty Ranch Tree Farm and Forest

This is our fourth year camping at Rusty Ranch. Never disappoints. Margaret is a FANTASTIC host-lovely to be around and has new amazing add-on options each year. We will return!

3 nights at Rusty Ranch Tree Farm and Forest

We had a wonderful experience at Rusty Ranch! This was my family's second trip here and this time we stayed at the Misty Meadows Group Site. The site was set up wonderfully for our group with lots of little kiddos. It was easy to see the kids playing from wherever we were at and the playground was so great for them. I appreciated that there were some games for adults in the game shed and the playground had some cars and trucks for the kids to drive in the dirt so we didn't have to pack those things. There is creek access from the group site but it is pretty steep to get down to with little ones. We tried to use the other access point by the other sites because it was easier for our little ones to get to but unfortunately we were told that we had to go way around because here was a group in those spots. That was a bummer for us but didn't ruin our trip. The trails were all clearly marked and the little store was nicely stocked with items that we may have forgotten or needed more of. The whole ranch is peaceful and quiet and the camp sites feel private. The staff was very friendly and checked in here and there to make sure we had what we needed. We will definitely be back in the future!

3 nights at Monkey Hill @Deception Pass Retreat

Jill's place is a little piece of heaven. We loved our time there. Her bathroom and shower were a bonus that we all enjoyed. Thanks so much, Jill!

Weekend Trip to Skagit River RV and Camping

Skagit Campground was in the perfect location—closer to Cascades than any other accommodations in the town. The staff were extremely welcoming and organized. Even the campers were very friendly. Showers and bathrooms were clean. Very much enjoyed my stay and would stay again.

Weekend Trip to Rosario Camp & RV

This was a great last minute option when camping at deception pass fell through! Host was nice and welcoming. The road was steep so definitely recommend 4WD. Our site was pretty private. I think we stayed at 7. Toilet was easy to use and clean. Could hear the road a bit but overall super peaceful. Our 18 month old struggled to walk around with the loose gravel around the campsite and the edges were pretty steep/steep road so it made “adventuring” around our campsite not an option. 10/10 adult experience and 6/10 toddler friendly.

2 nights at Skagit River RV and Camping

I had a great stay here! The sites were spacious, and the toilets and showers were clean. It was great being so close to the North Cascades.

1 night at Rusty Ranch Tree Farm and Forest

What a find! The bunkhouse was awesome, very peaceful and comfortable for us and our dogs. The view from the porch is perfect, outhouse was pristine, and a late check in was very easy for us. The grounds are a perfect setup with plenty of space between the sights, and our dogs loved relaxing on the porch this morning. Margaret was very responsive and pleasant to speak with. We’ll be back again!

1 night at Skagit River RV and Camping

Nice clean campground. Met all of our needs. Good clean showers and nice camp hosts. Very close to the entrance to North cascades National Park as well as the Ranger Station to get permits. We were able to buy ice and firewood as well. Highly recommend!

1 night at Skagit River RV and Camping

Nice, grassy camping spots, great for tent camping. Spots are spaced closely so not a lot of privacy. But cute well-equipped campground with friendly hosts.

5 nights at Monkey Hill @Deception Pass Retreat

Wonderful hosts! Nice clean camping area with plenty of room and a nice little shower & bathroom. The Jets do you go overhead about every 5 minutes though.

1 night at Rusty Ranch Tree Farm and Forest

We absolutely loved this place! We booked last minute and they were so accommodating! On top of that, their place is an absolute gem! So family friendly. She mentioned that there was a playground for kids, and I assumed it would be for smaller children, but they had tether ball, croquet, and horseshoes that my boys (15 and 18) and husband had a blast with. On top of that, we could have taken advantage of a few other perks, but with our late check in, it just didn’t make sense at the time. If we are ever back in Washington, we would definitely stay here again!! Such a wonderful place! No wonder they have won the title of best farm on hipcamp!

2 nights at Rusty Ranch Tree Farm and Forest

Great place to spend a few nights with the kiddos. The bathrooms were clean and the campsite well maintained!

3 nights at Skagit River RV and Camping

We have a tear-drop trailer with an awning on the side. It fit nicely into our space. The hosts were very nice and friendly. Clean facility, including the bathrooms and showers. We would recommmend!

2 nights at Rusty Ranch Tree Farm and Forest

Another amazing visit to Scott & Margaret's Alder Meadow. This is the 4th or 5th time we've been there. Every time is amazing. Margaret has done such a wonderful job with the property. My kids love that she has a snack shack where they can purchase an ice cream bar or popsicle. Probably the cleanest, nicest smelling outhouse I've ever used. We will be back in the future.

1 night at Rusty Ranch Tree Farm and Forest

Margaret was so accommodating when I had to change plans several times due to a series of my own unfortunate events. What was supposed to be an overnight stay became a day trip, and Margaret was accommodating to my changes in plans. She was so quick about communicating and ensuring that I still had a great time. The site was amazing. It was clean, large, shaded and sunny, and had trail access to the creek. The entire camp is well maintained, and the outhouse was spectacularly clean. The trails had clear trail markers, and even though I explored them, I feel like I only scratched the surface. I was truly disappointed to leave. I will be back.

Weekend Trip to Skagit River RV and Camping

great spot to stay right outside the park. not much road noise, pretty clean bathrooms, and nice hosts.

Weekend Trip to Skagit River RV and Camping

Skagit river camping and sauna

18 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. Would rather there be no music and if there is then super low and off by 7. Sauna available after 3pm
