Mount Vernon RV Campground


     Mt. Vernon is set up so that it’s easy to check in. The welcome center is outside the gate and just inside the gate is a large parking area to drop our dinghy and use it to find a campsite. This really helps for bigger rigs in tight campgrounds. However, this campground was anything but tight. At the entrance is most of the facilities, the pool, rec centers, laundry, basketball court, etc. The roads are wide and branches are trimmed back. The sites are large and well separated. Most sites are in the trees, but there are sites in the open if you’re trying to get satellite. The campground follows the freeway so that campsites on the west side get the steady hum of traffic. We noticed that the staff was continuously working on the campground and it shows, however they did seem to have difficulties keeping up with the blackberries in some sites. This is the perfect campground for any size rig and it is very easy to access from I-5. Also, there is a large casino right outside the gate, if you’re into that.
Mt. Vernon Nooksack Falls     From the campground, it isn’t too far to venture up into the Northern Cascades. We followed Mt. Baker Highway up the north side of the mountain pass the ski resorts to some of the most scenic views in the Cascades. Along the way up we stopped to check out Nooksack Falls.  It is well worth taking a day and driving up to Artist Point and taking a short hike along the ridge and taking in the views of two mountains, Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan. We had the bad fortune of having clouds come in and cover Mt. Baker, but it was still well worth the drive.
