I absolutely loved my stay here! The campground was quiet, clean, and felt very safe. The bathrooms and amenities were all extremely well maintained, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

A fine RV park along the river is a nice trail leading to it. The park had plenty of space and has both full hookup and partial hookup RV sites. Tent camping as well as small cabins are available. The staff was real helpful as we ended up in a site that did not have full hookups but they were able to move us to one that did. Nice bathrooms. Would stay here again!

Good location with very friendly staff. Nice restrooms and showers. Our campsite wasn't the greatest. We had the option to change to one closer to the river for an extra fee, which we decided not to do as the campsites are already pretty expensive and we didn't feel it was much of a difference. It worked for us for one night.

We had a great stay here. Our kids loved the pool, river, bounce house. Staff members were very kind and accommodating. Probably the best showers and laundry facility I've seen at a KOA. Super cute stuff in the gift shop. Winthrop is also an adorable town to walk around in. North Cascades are beautiful to visit!

My friends and I stayed for an overnight before a trail run nearby and had a great visit. Our cabin was clean, warm, and quiet. The bathrooms were a delight, clean, heated, and comfortable.
