Dry camp between Sedro Wooley and Bellingham, WA

Need some place for about 3 nights in August. Don't need hookups, but wouldn't turn them down. Casino, FS, rv park, etc. Our rig is 40 ft and pulling a PU. Thanks for any ideas offered.
  • If Rockport on Hwy 20 isn't too far there's Howard Miller Steelhead Park which is terrific for big rigs. You'd need reservations though at this time.

    Best sites: #8 and 10 on the river or very large sites #20-49.
  • Camp WallyMart in Bellingham. Just north of Costco on Guide Meridian. Lots of people us the parking lot for weeks at a time.

    This camp is a Thousands Trails membership only, we just looked .
    I mean the casino lot, not an associated rv park.
  • WE drove over and checked out Friday Creek camp ground, it is also a thousand trails but open to the public, But I'd not advise taking a 40' coach in there turns with in a grounds are very narrow and tight.
    I would simply park at the Skagit Speed Way they have a huge field, level but no hook ups. there are up to 10 coaches there all summer. The Whispering Firs camp grounds have only 6-10 spots for a 40' coach, I'd call ahead to see if they have room for ya.

    The KOA 2 miles north of Cook Road exit is probably your best bet. it's a nice camp ground with full hookups

    Are you traveling up 9 or 5?

    There is a KOA just south of the Bow Hill road exit on the old 99 highway. full hook ups.
    Then there whispering firs at Alger on old 99
    Also there is Friday Creek camp grounds on the Friday creek Rd behind the Skagit Speedway. don't know about hook ups.
