I wanted to stay at the State Park, but it was booked! Scandia RV Park had one spot left (and I didn’t feel like staying in the high priced Crown Villa park).
The “permanents” and the “overnighters/short terms” are in separate sections, separated by a fence. The “overnights” are in the 300 section. The 300 section […]

If you arrive at Riverside State Park from the north, you will travel via Nine Mile Road. If you arrive from the south, you will travel via Government Way. Both routes are marked with enough signs to get you there. I used the Government Way route, and my initial reaction when entering the road to […]

I had originally intended to go to Omak, but I passed Riverbend RV Park on the way and it was quite a find! Other parks in the area were booked full, so I was quite surprised that this park had a few spots open, to include spots right on the river! On a […]

Alpine RV Park has full hookups, a laundry, and free wireless, yet cheaper than the State Parks! What more could you want? The wireless was a little slow, but at these prices ($20 per night), you can live with it! Also, you have clean air and are in a little valley surrounded […]

Of the 35 total spaces, one pull-through is reserved for physically challenged customers. The park is a good overnight spot to dry […]

This is a small state park. The web site indicates that it’s located 18 miles northwest of Everett, Washington but it’s actually closer to Stanwood. Although there is a check-in station, it’s only used in the summer. During “off-season,” you must self register.
The higher numbered spots, which are non-utility, are closed in the winter. The […]

I’m sure this is a great park in the summer. During wintertime (I’m guessing this would be the period of October - March), the park has reduced services.
During winter, no one is available in the office; you must self register. During that time, you must pay with cash or check only. Also, there is a […]

This is a small, but cute RV park located along US Highway 101. Although there is a barrier fence, you will hear some road noise during the quiet hours of the late evening. The road noise doesn’t bother me, but may be an issue for someone else.
Other reviews indicate the RV spaces are “close together.” […]

Gig Harbor RV Resort - Gig Harbor, WA

Gig Harbor RV Resort has 95 RV spots and a few tent spots is squeezed in a small area on a hillside, but it’s surrounded by lots of pine trees, with the pine smell being quite fragrant! You will feel like you are in a state park!

One reviewer indicated that the trees interfered with satellite dishes. If this is the case, the park does have good cable, about 70 channels. However, be sure you bring an extra five feet of cable wire, just in case. In my particular spot, my 25 foot cable wire was too short. I had to add an extension because the cable hookup was located close to the front of the spot.

Maryhill is a very nice state park along the Columbia River with 20, 30, and 50 amp service and sewer hookup in the utility sites. In the winter, it’s a good spot to overnight only, as it is somewhat bleak and cold. The utility spots, which are on gravel, have both pull-through and back-in. The pull-through spots are on the outer edge of the loop. The pull-through spots are "arc’d" in a half circle; however, it’s a wide arc, so you can easily "bend" your RV around it. Some of the pull-through spots have a great view of the river! The back-in spots are in the center of the loop.
