The River's Edge Camp Ground

1 site · RV1 acre · Concrete, WA

This is a hidden gem! This is waterfront on the river where you can relax, play in the river with your own beach for your stay. It's a Very beautiful private open RV and Trailer Site on the Skagit River. I have currently owned the property for 10 or so years. This is one of my happy places to bring friends and family and relax. This is where we get our river therapy. Nothing better than sitting by the camp fire watching the river flow and listening to the nature. There is a nice big fire pit as well as a log picnic table. Lots of room to lounge around and enjoy the peace and quiet. Watch the eagle and fish on the river as you sit by the campfire. Kayak down the river from RockPort bridge and pull out right at camp. It's about a two and half hour float down with a Kayak right to camp. Close drive to Baker Lake for the day to hike or sight see. An hour or so away from North Cascade Hwy passes. Or if you feel like a drive, head to Winthrop for the day and walk the town. Fishing can be done right at the site or a short walk to the point. Check the fishing regulations for the time of year you want to fish.

Secluded river haven nestled on the west bank of the glacially fed North Fork of the Nooksack river, this peaceful property sits directly on the river bank surrounded by wildlife and nature.

Resident bald eagles, the occasional brown eagle, blue heron, trout, owls, beavers and all five species of native salmon are a few potential wildlife encounters. Various types of edible berries including salmonberries, thimbleberries, elderberries, mountain blackberries, huckleberries and of course blackberries. Every morning provides a symphony of song birds welcoming the rising sun with a good chance of sharing the river with bald eagles and blue herons. Beautiful sunrises overlooking the North Fork and pink alpenglow over slide mountain with the setting sun. 30 minutes from Bellingham bay, 30 minutes from Mount Baker ski area and extensive hiking trails and mountain lakes, 30 minutes from the Canadian border, 45 minutes from North Cascades National Park. The North Fork Brewery is a 2 minute drive north for great food and beer. Multiple grocery stores within 10 minutes. Activities include fishing, swimming, kayaking, rafting, photography, bird watching, sunbathing, earthing, yoga or just relaxing by the fire watching the river. Private parking and multiple campsites with direct access to North Fork of the Nooksack river. Amenities include: Clean (new) porta-potty, hand washing station, access to electricity and fresh water spigot / hose, high speed wireless internet. Available for rent are various sized tents, sleeping pads, sleeping bags, camp stove, propane, hammocks, etc. We respect and cherish privacy so you won't hear from us (unless you request someone to pick guitar or banjo around the campfire). Driveway exactly at mile marker 20 on the right if you're travelling north (river side) - see site photos for picture of driveway entrance. Shared driveway with neighbor - everything on the left hand side of the driveway as you enter is NOT our property (no trespassing).

Skagit river camping

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

End of the road. Start of an epic camping weekend. River to the side, Cascade foothill mountains surround. One flush toilet, porta potty and shower. Each site has river access. Sand and grass. 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

Beach RV camping in 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.
