Blakes RV Park & Marina
Overview
Blakes RV Park & Marina offers a peaceful retreat situated directly along the scenic banks of the Skagit River. Unlike many modern, paved resorts, this park maintains a traditional riverfront atmosphere that emphasizes its connection to the water and the surrounding natural landscape. It serves as a historic gateway for those looking to explore the fertile Skagit Valley and the intricate waterways leading toward the North Sound.
Location & Surroundings
Located just south of Mount Vernon near the quiet community of Conway, the park is surrounded by vibrant agricultural fields and the winding channels of the Skagit River Delta. The setting is characterized by its wide-open skies and proximity to the saltwater of Skagit Bay. Visitors can enjoy the pastoral beauty of the valley while being only a short drive from the local shops and antique stores of the surrounding Skagit County area.
Amenities & Park Features
The core appeal of this destination is its private marina and boat launch, providing direct access to some of the region's best river fishing and boating. The RV sites provide essential full hookups, including power, water, and sewer services to ensure a comfortable stay for self-contained units. On-site facilities include laundry rooms and restroom facilities, catering to long-term travelers and weekend boaters who prioritize functionality and river access.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Anglers frequent the area for seasonal salmon and steelhead runs, while birdwatchers enjoy the nearby wildlife areas famous for wintering snow geese and swans. During the spring, the park is a short drive from the world-famous Skagit Valley Tulip Festival display gardens. For day trips, guests can easily reach Deception Pass State Park or head to Anacortes to catch a ferry to the San Juan Islands, making this an excellent central hub for regional exploration.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for dedicated anglers and boaters who want their equipment close at hand and immediate access to the water. It also suits travelers seeking a no-nonsense home base that offers a more authentic, rustic Washington experience. If you value a quiet evening by the river and a relaxed, unpretentious environment, Blakes RV Park & Marina provides the perfect setting for your Skagit Valley adventure.

Camped by the river. We opted for no hook-ups since we were only there for one night.

Located on the lower North fork of the Skagit River, been comming to this area for like 50 years, brought both my sons here when I was raising them. Back then I had a 20 foot GLASPAR cuddy cabin with a V-8 for power. Was very fast on flat waters .

Edited to add a response: there was only ONE time either of you talked to me about the dog poop or the car that I had not yet gotten running again - and that was when Paul came and banged on my door screaming at me and gaslighting me, straight up lying to my face about claiming to have talked to me before. Yes I signed a paper, over 3 years ago, that I never got a copy of. If you’re going to hold tenants accountable for things, hold them accountable by all means. But when I had been there 3 years, one of the most quiet & respectful tenants, don’t decide one day to just get a wild hair and go on a spray paint and screaming rampage (I was NOT the only victim of Paul’s rampage this day) and I’d also like to add that afterwards they threatened to charge me $60 a day with no notice! I pleaded for them to just let me pay for a whole month (I even paid extra!) and luckily avoided that. And unsurprisingly, you are lying again saying it took many months to get me to leave. You screamed that I had a 30 day notice, yet never served me any papers (legal req in WA state to evict) and I left anyways in just over 30 days. Lies, gaslighting, more lies. You’ll find this and more at Blake’s Skagit Prison Park and boat launch. Have fun running the trailer park Lahey! There’s a special place in hell for landlords like you two. And reading all these other 1 star reviews I know I’m not the first victim and I certainly won’t be the last. The owners are petty, will nickel and dime you for everything. Paul (the husband) went on a spray paint rampage marking things he wanted people to move, and came and banged on my door drunk one evening right after I got home from work and asked why they did this, and started screaming at me because I hadn’t picked up my dogs poop from that morning (right behind my trailer - not in a publicly used area) and said that I was being evicted because of that. I was never served papers, but got out anyways because who wants to be around that? (On a side note, I was charged by their big off leash dog while walking my dog on leash on 3 separate occasions) This is not a “resort”, it’s a trailer park. It’s dusty, dirty, and stinky. They are always running heavy machinery around 7 days of the week. There’s been a giant pit and gravel pile in the middle of the drive in where their large propane tank is for at least the last 3 years. The owners have 2 shops located in the middle of their RV spaces where they are frequently banging away on equipment. The laundry machines are a joke, and do not wash or dry adequately. A lot of nights, the neighbors are up til almost midnight blasting music or working on their vehicles. There’s virtually no privacy. Some of the long term residents are really creepy, and will walk around just staring at people. All in all a horrible place to park, be it for a short or long term duration. Living there kind of felt like a fever dream, a world where everything is just slightly off and uncomfortable, and you’re always waiting for the next thing to go wrong or for something to burst into flame. I was charged nearly $1100 the last couple months I was there, for various fees and up charges based on nothing really. The spaces are worth $500 tops. In contrast, the surrounding area is beautiful, with 2 separate public beach access points that don’t see a lot of traffic, and Snow Goose Produce about a mile away.

They charge $1,000 a month (not including utilities) for a small concrete slab and act like they’re giving you a discount because “it’s cheaper than any other RV park around.” The difference is other RV parks are better ran and give people more than 2 feet of space between RVs. There is absolutely no privacy and I have seen the owner come behind and around our RV when he thought no one was home to inspect our site and turn off our water. The residents are nosy and love to complain about the smallest of things. The owners are greedy and always find something to get angry about.

When I called to make my reservation, they said they had a spot that would fit out travel trailer. When we got there, it was next to a large storage unit and on the other side it had a long fence. We barely were able to get our truck and trailer into the site. We couldn't hook up our hose for septic because we couldn't get close enough to the hook up. We stayed that night and left the next day. I called them to get our money back for the next three days that we were going to stay and they would not reimburse us. The camp ground was gross. Would not recommend this place at all.
