Rasar welcomes visitors throughout the year, each season painting the park in different colors. Summer brings families to splash in the river and explore sun-warmed meadows, while winter transforms the landscape into a quiet, sometimes snow-dusted retreat—perfect for cozy cabin stays with a crackling fire. Just note that campsite water is typically turned off during the colder months (usually November through March), so plan accordingly if you're visiting in the off-season. Year-round access means you can experience this riverside gem whenever the camping mood strikes.

About Rasar State Park

Tucked along the banks of the Skagit River, Rasar State Park offers a peaceful riverside escape where meadows meet forest and campers find their perfect spot—whether that's a private tent site nestled among the trees, an RV hookup with space to spread out, or a cozy cabin for those seeking comfort. With friendly staff, well-spaced sites that give you room to breathe, and trails that wind through wildflower meadows and towering evergreens, this compact park punches above its weight for variety and charm.

Mix of tent, RV, walk-in, group sites and cabins across two park sections divided by Cape Horn Road.

Natural Features and SceneryThe Skagit River forms the heart of this park, where a welcoming sandy beach invites you to dip your toes or simply watch the water flow by. Step away from the riverbank and you'll discover a tapestry of landscapes: sun-drenched wildflower meadows that burst with color in season, shaded forest trails perfect for a morning stroll, and interpretive paths that help you connect with the natural world around you. Mountain views peek through the trees as a reminder of the dramatic Cascade landscape beyond, while a playground keeps younger adventurers entertained. Whether you prefer the openness of meadow camping or the seclusion of wooded sites, the park's diverse settings mean every visit feels a little different.

Geological RegionSkagit River valley / northwest Washington (riverfront meadow and evergreen forest setting).
