Campgrounds near Stanwood, Washington
Stanwood sits at the north end of Snohomish County, just off Interstate 5 and at the gateway to Camano Island via SR 532. The area pairs freshwater lakes inland with Puget Sound shoreline a few minutes west, giving RV travelers two distinct camping landscapes within a short drive of town.
Family-friendly options cluster around Lake Goodwin, where Lake Goodwin Resort offers full-hookup sites and cabin rentals on the lake, and the neighboring Cedar Grove Shores RV Park sits along the same shoreline. A short drive west, Camano Island State Park is a 134-acre camping park with 6,700 feet of rocky shoreline and beach, with sweeping views of Puget Sound and the Olympic and Cascade mountains. Port Susan Camping Club, set on tribal lease land in Tulalip, operates as a private membership park rather than a transient stop. Travelers heading north toward the Skagit Valley can also use Mount Vernon RV Park as a base.
Seattle sits roughly an hour south on I-5, and the North Cascades and ferry terminals to Whidbey Island are within day-trip range, making Stanwood a practical hub for a multi-stop Puget Sound itinerary.
Things to do around Stanwood
Water access defines most trips. Lake Goodwin is a popular swimming, fishing, and non-motorized boating lake, with shoreline sites at Lake Goodwin Resort and Cedar Grove Shores RV Park. Camano Island State Park adds saltwater beach walking, kayaking, and views across Saratoga Passage to Whidbey Island and the Olympics.
On land, the park has roughly four miles of forest trails that loop through the forest, plus a one-mile trail leading to Cama Beach Historical State Park. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound: deer, rabbits, chipmunks, coyotes and skunks in the forest, orcas, harbor seals, porpoises and gray whales offshore, and eagles, herons, wrens, hummingbirds and owls overhead. Interpretive programs for kids and adults are held every Saturday during the summer, with stargazing, beach activities, arts and crafts, and guided shore and forest strolls.
Off the campgrounds, downtown Stanwood and nearby La Conner offer restaurants and shops, and the Skagit Valley tulip fields north of town draw heavy traffic each April.

Reservations are needed for the campsites at Camano Island State Park during the peak season from mid-May to mid-September, with sites first-come, first-served only during the off-season. The park books well in advance for summer weekends and holidays, and crabbing season adds extra demand around the boat launch. Midweek and shoulder-season trips are easier to plan.
Spring is cool and wet but workable. The tulip festival in April pushes lodging demand across Stanwood, Mount Vernon, and La Conner, so booking earlier is wise during that window. Wildflowers, migrating birds, and quiet trails are the trade-off for occasional rain.
Fall brings the wettest stretch of the year, with November the rainiest month, when rain falls about 20 days and averages near five inches. Private parks such as Lake Goodwin Resort, Cedar Grove Shores RV Park, and Mount Vernon RV Park stay open year-round, while Camano Island State Park is open year round for camping and day use, though some campsites are closed in winter. Snow is uncommon at sea level but possible, so check road conditions before pulling out.

How to book campgrounds near Stanwood
Reservations for Camano Island State Park can be made online at washington.goingtocamp.com, or by phone at (888) 226-7688. Individual campsites and the five forest cabins are reservable, and the campground operates on the standard reservation window from mid-May through mid-September, with off-season sites first-come, first-served. A Discover Pass is required for day-use parking but is included for registered overnight guests.
Private parks are booked directly. Lake Goodwin Resort, Cedar Grove Shores RV Park, and Mount Vernon RV Park take reservations by phone or website. Port Susan Camping Club is a private membership facility, not a nightly rental, and access is limited to members and their registered guests.
What to expect
Sites near Stanwood lean toward lakeside or forested settings rather than open pads. Lake Goodwin Resort accommodates larger rigs with full hookups, while Camano Island State Park has 88 tent spaces, five cabins, one dump station, two restrooms and two showers, with the upper camp loop better for RVs up to 40 feet. Cell coverage is generally usable across the area on major carriers.
Mosquitoes appear near the lakes in early summer evenings, and raccoons are common at coastal sites, so food storage matters. Firewood can be purchased from the camp host or grocery stores on Camano Island, and should be sourced from western Washington to protect forests from invasive insects. Only light campfires in designated fire pits, and beach fires are not allowed.
Groceries, fuel, and propane are available in Stanwood and along the I-5 corridor near Smokey Point and Mount Vernon.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Stanwood, WA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Stanwood?
An RV rental in Stanwood is one of the more affordable ways to explore the Pacific Northwest. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $95 to $150 per night, campervans run $125 to $200, and larger Class A or Class C motorhomes average $175 to $300 nightly. Because hosts set their own pricing, you'll often find midweek and shoulder-season deals from October through April. For a cheap RV rental Stanwood travelers love, filter by travel trailers with delivery included so you can skip towing a rig yourself. Pro tip: booking Sunday through Thursday can save you 15 to 25 percent versus weekend pricing, especially during the busy Skagit Valley Tulip Festival weeks in April.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Stanwood%2C%20WashingtonWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Stanwood?
Great news for first-timers: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Stanwood. Washington does not require a commercial driver's license or any special RV endorsement for motorhomes and trailers used recreationally. You'll just need to be 25 or older and upload your license through RVezy's secure ID verification during checkout. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit, which you can get from your local auto club. Most renters are surprised at how quickly approval goes, so you can focus on planning your route through the Skagit Valley.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental insurance included when I book in Stanwood?
Yes, every RV rental in Stanwood booked through RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip, so you can pull into Wenberg County Park or head north to Bellingham with peace of mind. During checkout you'll choose your coverage level, with higher tiers offering lower deductibles and broader protection. RVezy's support team backs you up if anything happens on the road. Pro tip: if you're new to RVing, selecting a higher-tier plan for your first Stanwood RV trip is a small price for a worry-free weekend on Camano Island.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Stanwood RV trip plans change?
Plans can shift, and RVezy has you covered. Every booking uses a cancellation policy set by RVezy, including a grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates with confidence. If a Pacific Northwest storm rolls in off Puget Sound or life simply gets in the way, refund eligibility depends on how far out you cancel. The exact terms are shown before you confirm payment, and RVezy's support team is available to help if something unexpected comes up. Pro tip: booking 30+ days ahead for peak Tulip Festival weekends in April gives you the most flexibility if your schedule shifts.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV rental in Stanwood?
Absolutely, and Stanwood is a great base for dog-friendly travel. To find a pet-friendly RV rental Stanwood hosts offer, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy. Once you're on the road, take your pup to Double Bluff Beach on nearby Whidbey Island (an off-leash favorite a short ferry ride away) or the Stillaguamish River dike trails right in town. Wenberg County Park and Kayak Point Regional Park both welcome leashed dogs on trails and at campsites. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee (usually $25 to $75 per trip) and bring a towel for muddy paws, because Puget Sound beaches stay damp most of the year.
snohomishcountywa.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Wenberg-County-Park-25Can the RV be delivered to me in Stanwood?
Yes, RV delivery Stanwood travelers love is widely available, and it's hands-down the easiest way to start your trip, especially if it's your first time renting an RV. Many Stanwood-area hosts will drive the RV to your campsite at Kayak Point Regional Park, Cama Beach, or a private RV park, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Delivery fees typically run $2 to $4 per mile from the host's location, with many offering free delivery within a set radius. Filter listings by Delivery on RVezy to see who offers it. Pro tip: ask for a propane top-off and full freshwater tank at delivery so you can skip extra stops.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Stanwood%2C%20WashingtonHow many miles can I drive on a Stanwood RV rental?
You'll have plenty of road to explore. Most hosts offering RV rental in Stanwood include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage which is ideal if you're planning a bigger Pacific Northwest loop. Beyond the included miles, expect to pay $0.30 to $0.45 per extra mile. For reference, Stanwood to Deception Pass State Park is about 25 miles, to Mount Baker Ski Area is roughly 95 miles, and to Olympic National Park's Hurricane Ridge is around 140 miles via the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry. Pro tip: if you're planning a longer RV road trip from Stanwood toward the North Cascades or Vancouver Island, filter for unlimited mileage listings to keep your budget predictable.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Stanwood%2C%20WashingtonWhere are the best campgrounds near Stanwood?
Stanwood is surrounded by some of the best campgrounds near Stanwood you'll find in Washington. Top picks include Wenberg County Park on Lake Goodwin (about 6 miles away, with a swimming beach), Kayak Point Regional Park (a Snohomish County gem with bluff-top sites overlooking Puget Sound), Cama Beach Historical State Park on Camano Island (cabins and walk-in tent sites with stunning sunsets), and Deception Pass State Park (about 25 miles north, the most-visited state park in Washington). For full hookups closer to town, look at private RV parks in nearby Marysville and Arlington. Pro tip: Washington State Park reservations open nine months in advance, and Friday-Saturday summer slots vanish within minutes of release.
parks.wa.gov/find-parks/state-parks/cama-beach-historical-state-parkWhen is the best time of year for RV camping in Stanwood?
July through September is the sweet spot for RV camping Stanwood visitors dream about, with daytime highs in the low 70s, the longest stretches of sunshine, and very little rain. August is typically the warmest and driest month. April is a magical shoulder-season pick if you want to catch the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival just 20 minutes north, though pack rain gear. Winter trips (November through February) are quiet and atmospheric, with highs in the low 40s and many state park campgrounds open year-round. Pro tip: late September often delivers warm days, quieter campgrounds, and salmon runs on the Stillaguamish River, an insider favorite.
weather.gov/sew/I have never driven an RV. Will I be okay renting in Stanwood?
You're going to do great, and Stanwood is one of the friendlier places for first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host provides a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, water, propane, generator, and dumping, plus they're a text away during your whole trip. The local roads help too: I-5 runs flat and straight just east of town, and Highway 532 to Camano Island is wide and easy with low-stress traffic. If you'd rather skip driving entirely, choose a host who offers delivery and setup at your campground. Pro tip: do a short practice loop in a large empty lot near town before heading out so you can get a feel for braking and turning.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360003356354-For-rentersWhat happens if I have a problem with the RV during my trip?
You're never alone out there. Every RV rental in Stanwood booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, covering flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. One call connects you to dispatch anywhere in Washington, whether you're at Deception Pass, halfway up Mount Baker Highway, or sitting at Kayak Point. Your host is also reachable directly through the RVezy app for quick questions about quirks specific to their rig. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host's number to your phone before pickup, and snap a photo of the RV's VIN and license plate. Cell service is solid in the Stanwood area but can drop in the North Cascades, so screenshot key info before heading east.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Stanwood RV rental into Canada or other states?
Cross-border road trips are absolutely possible. Stanwood sits about 90 miles south of the Peace Arch border crossing at Blaine, making a quick run up to Vancouver, BC or the Sea-to-Sky Highway very doable. To cross into Canada, message the host through the listing before booking to confirm they allow it and that their RV's coverage extends across the border. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Interstate trips to Oregon, Idaho, or Montana are generally fine, just confirm with your host. Pro tip: bring your passport plus any required RV insurance paperwork, and budget extra time at the border on summer Fridays and Sunday afternoons.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Stanwood RV trip?
Fuel is one of the bigger variables, but it's easy to plan for. Washington gas prices in the Stanwood area typically run among the higher in the country, with diesel slightly above regular. Class B campervans average 18 to 22 mpg, Class C motorhomes 8 to 12 mpg, and larger Class A rigs 6 to 10 mpg. A 200-mile weekend loop from Stanwood to Deception Pass and Anacortes in a Class C will run roughly $80 to $120 in fuel. Travel trailers don't burn fuel directly but will reduce your tow vehicle's mpg by 30 to 40 percent. Pro tip: fill up at warehouse-club stations in nearby Marysville before heading out, where prices usually run noticeably below highway stations along Highway 20.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Stanwood?
For peak summer weekends (mid-June through Labor Day), book Washington State Parks campgrounds the day reservations open, which is nine months in advance through the official Washington State Parks reservation system. Cama Beach and Deception Pass sell out within minutes for July and August Saturdays. Snohomish County parks like Kayak Point and Wenberg use a separate reservation system that opens further out as well. Private RV parks are usually bookable 30 to 60 days ahead. Pro tip: midweek arrivals (Sunday to Thursday) often have last-minute openings even in August. If you strike out on your dream park, message your Stanwood RV host about quieter spots on nearby Department of Natural Resources land.
washington.goingtocamp.com/What are the driving conditions like around Stanwood?
Driving around Stanwood is refreshingly low-stress. The town sits along flat, straight Highway 532, which connects to I-5 about 4 miles east, and traffic is generally light outside of Friday afternoon commuter waves. Camano Island is reached by a short bridge with no ferries required. Heading north on I-5 toward Bellingham or south toward Seattle is straightforward interstate driving. The trickier stretches are Highway 20 over the North Cascades (closed in winter due to snow) and the winding coast road to La Conner, where larger rigs need to take turns slowly. Pacific Northwest drizzle is common year-round, so plan for wet roads. Pro tip: avoid I-5 southbound between 3 and 6 p.m. on weekdays, when Seattle-bound traffic backs up near Marysville.
wsdot.wa.gov/travel/real-time/mountainpassesWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Stanwood?
Most campgrounds near Stanwood offer a solid mix of amenities. Full-hookup private RV parks typically include 30/50-amp power, water, sewer, Wi-Fi, and hot showers. Washington State Parks like Cama Beach and Deception Pass typically offer partial hookups (water and electric), flush toilets, and dump stations on site. Snohomish County's Wenberg and Kayak Point parks have dump stations, potable water fills, and beach access. Pro tip: fill your freshwater tank before leaving Stanwood, since some boondocking-friendly sites on nearby DNR forest land have no water at all, just gorgeous Puget Sound views.
parks.wa.gov/find-parks/state-parks/cama-beach-historical-state-parkWhat's included inside a typical RV rental in Stanwood?
You're stepping into a fully-equipped home on wheels. A typical motorhome rental Stanwood guests book sleeps 4 to 8 (queen bed, bunks, convertible dinette) and includes a kitchen with fridge/freezer, propane stove, microwave, and sink, plus a wet or dry bathroom with shower and toilet. Most rigs have a furnace, roof A/C, and either an onboard generator or solar setup. Wi-Fi varies by host, but cell-based hotspots are common (Verizon and AT&T both have strong coverage around Stanwood and Camano Island). Seatbelts match the listed sleeping capacity for safe driving. Pro tip: check the listing photos for a backup camera and a power awning. Both are game-changers for first-timers parking at Kayak Point's tree-lined sites.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Stanwood%2C%20WashingtonWhat add-ons can I get with my Stanwood RV rental?
Hosts make it easy to customize your trip. Popular add-ons for a campervan rental Stanwood travelers book include linen and kitchen kits ($25 to $75), camping chairs and outdoor tables ($15 to $30), portable grills ($20 to $40), generators ($25 to $50 per day), bike racks, kayaks, and pet-cleaning packages. Pickup is typically between 1 and 4 p.m. at the host's location, with drop-off by 11 a.m., though many hosts are flexible. Mileage policies range from a set number of free miles per night to fully unlimited, listed clearly on every page. Pro tip: bundle linens, a kitchen kit, and a generator for your first trip so you arrive at Cama Beach State Park ready to relax rather than shopping on the way out of town.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Stanwood%2C%20WashingtonHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. When you book an RV rental in Stanwood through RVezy, you'll pay the rental cost, protection plan, service fee, and any add-ons up front via credit card, all processed through the platform (never directly to the host). A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment and is pre-authorized on your card a few days before pickup, then released after the trip if there's no damage or policy violations. Document the RV's condition with photos and video at pickup and drop-off. Pro tip: return the rig with a full fuel tank and empty waste tanks to avoid the most common deposit deductions and keep your post-trip experience smooth.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the best road trips from Stanwood?
Stanwood is a perfect launch pad for a Pacific Northwest RV road trip from Stanwood. Top routes include Deception Pass and the San Juan Islands via Anacortes (25 to 40 miles, with a ferry from Anacortes to Friday Harbor), Mount Baker and Highway 542 for alpine views (about 95 miles northeast, best July through September), Olympic National Park's Hurricane Ridge via the Mukilteo ferry (around 140 miles), the North Cascades Highway loop through Winthrop (typically open mid-spring to mid-fall), and Vancouver, BC via the Peace Arch border (about 90 miles north). Pro tip: for a family RV trip Stanwood-based, try a 3-night loop hitting Deception Pass, then Larrabee State Park near Bellingham, then back via Chuckanut Drive's oyster bars.
