River Meadows Park’s campground is closed this November for maintenance. Its yurt village remains open, Snohomish County Parks & Recreation said in a [new update](https://www.facebook.com/SnocoParks/posts/pfbid02Gv9Ut6wRkGAwSR9a1JENezhcf2wXC6beWXQqzciJVN2uesMN6TCfjYcQTZTM8pXyl).

Crews are replacing rotting wooden parking beams and fencing with rocks, adding fresh gravel to the parking area and planting trees. The announcement does not give a campground reopening date.

Families planning an overnight visit near Arlington can check the yurt village for available dates while campground work is underway.

## Planning a yurt stay

The county’s [Yurt Village information page](https://www.snohomishcountywa.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/-48?ref=justabouts.com) describes six yurts in the park’s former orchard area. They offer a way to stay overnight without bringing a tent, with heat and electricity provided. Bring your own bedding and food.

Advance reservations are required; the village does not accept walk-in stays. The county says reservations must be made at least 72 hours before check-in, and weekend bookings require both Friday and Saturday nights. Check current dates and prices through the [county’s reservation system](https://reservations.snocoparks.org/?ref=justabouts.com) or call [425-388-6600](tel:14253886600).

If accessibility is part of your planning, the county identifies [Yurt 1 as ADA-compliant](https://snohomishcountywa.gov/5776/ADA-Camping?ref=justabouts.com), with a ramp, nearby parking and an accessible restroom. Ask about availability and the layout before booking.

## Check facilities before a day visit

River Meadows is at **20416 Jordan Road**, northeast of Arlington, along the Stillaguamish River. The county lists normal day-use hours as 7 a.m. until dusk, defined as 20 minutes after sunset.

Before setting out for a walk or picnic, check the [park page](https://snohomishcountywa.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/River-Meadows-Park-46?ref=justabouts.com) and [current county parks alerts](https://snohomishcountywa.gov/m/newsflash?cat=24&ref=justabouts.com) for conditions and access changes. The maintenance announcement concerns the campground.

Winter facilities also need a little planning. The county lists the day-use and campground restrooms as winterized, with portable toilets provided. The yurt village’s year-round restrooms and showers are for yurt campers.
