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.
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 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 or call 425-388-6600.
If accessibility is part of your planning, the county identifies Yurt 1 as ADA-compliant, 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 and current county parks alerts 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.
