We spent another 2 weeks at Thousand Trails Mt. Vernon in Bow, Wa. Overall, we loved our stay with them and look forward to our next visit.

Pros
- Easy access to I-5 and nearby services, shopping, groceries, etc.
- Lots of good restaurants (see below for a list of a couples of our favorites)
- Good Roadschooling opportunities nearby to explore. (Deception Pass State Park, Bay View State Park, Fort Ebey State Park, Fort Casey State Park, North Cascade National Park, just to name a few)
- Nice play field and two playgrounds
- All the sites have power and water
- On-site pool and spa (open seasonally), laundry, basketball court, RC Track, walking trails, big play field
- Staff is nice and helpful with a big shout-out to Tina, Jon and Ryan! They have always gone above and beyond for us.
- Family Friendly
- Roads are Big Rig Friendly (there is one tight corner in the E section that is doable but little margin for error, see link to map below, yellow arrow) and most sites have okay to good in/out for those of us on the larger side of rigs
Cons
- Fair amount of road noise from Interstate-5
- The better sites (F, G and upper B section) have crappy power (IE 30 amp and if you pull more than 15 or 18 amps the voltage drops below 105 volts). It should be noted that parts of A and B loops have upgraded newer power that does not reflect these issues.
- Limited number of full hookup sites- reservation only
- Trail system is closed in the winter ☹
Map
I am a GPS geek so I drive my wife crazy mapping everything. Here is a link to my map of this campground. It is a work in-progress and from out point of view, with our family and our big 5th wheel inmind.
