The wife and I want to take my little cousins (9-14) camping next week. The park or area needs to have bathroom and a good swimming area. Needs to be within 2 HRS from Everett. Where should I take them? Ideas would be great!

Howard Miller Steelhead Park in Rockport is close enough. And they have a play ground, good camp spots on the river. Lots to do. http://www.skagitparksfoundation.org/howardmiller.htm:corn:

A few to add to this would be Razar state park, Baker Lake area, Grandy Lake, Gorge Lake, Diablo Lake. If ya can't tell, I'm pimping out Skagit Valley:redneck:
I'd suggest Deception Pass State Park, but it's usually booked a year in advance. So, my other suggestion is Washington Park in Anacortes, it's a city owned park that has all the enimities that you're looking for;

My wife and I camp along here for climbing purposes....usually @ 8 mile
campground. Good luck "swimming" in the Icicle River.....I've been known to get in and OUT for washing purposes but holy smurfs is it cold. As summer goes on and the river slows it gets better but..............
Super pretty area......the alpen glow at the end of the day is sweet

Fixed my link above. I stand retarded.:redneck:
I grew up in Concrete so I like to camp up there. Dad and Mom still live there and come up on Saturday for a BBQ. Love the upper valley.

Good luck getting any camping spots in the Baker Lake area this weekend. All the "reserved" spots are booked. The few that are first come first serve will be snatched up early. We're heading up there early Friday on the off chance something might be available. Newhalem has some spots available. No place to swim really unless you drive up Newhalem creek. There is a small dam there and a nice big pool behind it that is great for swimming ( no spillway).

My parent's place is on Sauk Valley Rd. That was one of our favorite spots in high school to go wheeling. I have not been up there since the early 90s other than during hunting season.
