Reviews of Rockport State Park (Park)

Charles Heidegger

Vary nice place to visit vary pretty drive over highway 20 or north cascade highway

Misty Chandler

I enjoyed this place so very much. The old growth is breath taking. The hike, although we ran out of daylight to complete, was full of beauty. Definitely plan on going again to finish the hike.

A gorgeous park for stopping and exploring during the day. There is no camping, but it is close to other camping options and Rockport has some relaxing, not intense trails that wind through stunning old growth Pacific Northwest temperate rainforest with cedars, firs, and a rich surrounding plant community. I am not a birder per se but I believe it is a hotspot for that as well. It is an extremely peaceful, quiet, inviting place to visit and linger in. I've been there multiple times in busy and shoulder seasons and it has never felt crowded. If you're only stopping briefly while you're on the road, there is free 15 minute parking, picnic tables, and restrooms, underneath towering fir trees.

It's a lovely park but personally I feel like, compared to all the other parks Washington has to offer, it's nothing special.

Jim Perez

Beautiful old growth forest. Campsite closed which is ridiculous, unless dangerous from trees falling. On the hike we saw a LOT of HUGE trees down. beautiful hike!

Keith Alesse

Hiking through big fabulous old growth trees!

Charles Curry

Very close to mountain road access to take family up to play in snow and watch the sunset!

A nice hike in the rain. I'll have to come back on a dry day. Very pretty, old growth forest. Well maintained trails and trail map signs everywhere.

Monte Saxby

Nice spot for a picnic lunch. Bathrooms and running water available, but no camping.

Janet Smith

Rockport State Park is a beautiful day use park in the North Cascades. 700 acres of hiking trails in the old growth forest dating back to 1600's. A storm in 2007 brought the giant trees down and the park had to be closed for repairs. It is now open for picnics and hiking. Many events are held during the year including plant walks and mushroom walks in the fall. They hold deep forest tours in the winter. The Sr Park Aide and park hosts are happy to answer questions to make your visit enjoyable. This is definitely a destination.

Yhali Gat

Sone nice trails!

Ray Anthony M. Daza

Fishing, hiking, camping, birdwatching, and very educational because of the Bald Eagle Interpretive Center. Great road trip for the family!

Saara Kuure

Several hikes of various lengths including a wheelchair accessible loop through old growth forest. You can also drive through the former campground. Excellent picnic opportunity in a gorgeous and peaceful setting.

Stefan Z

A gem of a park. I t shows just how wonderful nature is. And you are almost alone in here, no crowded placed. All tracks are well managed and have great signage.

Toni Westgarth

Highly recommend the Evergreen trail. Amos and Don are very knowledgeable.

Kathleen Smith

Beautiful old tree growth, wonderful trail systems, very clean bathrooms and wonderful information boards with maps. Super day use for stop over on route 20 journey. Bob, aide very efficient in duties information, and personable. Stella, his beautiful black lab is a precious and friendly ole girl. Excellent activity center for kids, and hospitality with cider, coffee etc...

Xi Cheng

In a semi-blocked area where you can see deprecated RV camp sites, you can drive through a path that will remind you the rise of the planet ape. You are sure human have been here, but not anymore. I am particularly impressed by the plants.

Sally Mclaughlin

Eagle watching and fishing and hiking. Or just enjoying the Skagit valley

David Taylor

Beautiful relaxing place for a walk in the woods

Lee Crossman

Great trails!

Shelly Tumbleson

This is a fantastic day trip, rain or shine.

Tim Hall

Quiet with beautiful old growth forest trails.

Sarah Benoit

We were camping at Rasar State Park and did the 20 minute drive over to Rockport to walk among the old growth. Absolutely stunning. Photo's just don't do it justice. The trail was well-maintained without detracting from the beauty of the forest. Easy 3+ mile hike (we did the Evergreen Trail). Several nice places to sit and have a snack on the hike. Beautiful creeks flowing throughout. Amazing trees. Just awe inspiring. Worth the drive and wonderful to see. No restrooms on the hike, just at the day parking area, so be prepared!

John Carvalho

Great old growth park. Good place if you have younger ones who you are trying to get into hiking.

Zak Kalles

Amazing dense forest with a small education center for the kids

Tami Baublitz

Beautiful easy trails through large growth forest and maple trees almost as tall as the first. Forest floor golden this time of year with so many leaves. Enjoyed the river views on the trail across the highway. Great place for a bathroom break too.

allison lake

Beautiful veiws!

Kevin Anderson

Sara Pisano

Aleah

I haven't seen such a wild and pristine place in a long time.

Ashley Latham

The grounds are immaculate and the hosts/workers (Bob and Janet) were super friendly and very welcoming!

Fernanda Game

Love this place

Jessica Williams

A beautiful off-the-beaten-path park with lots of great short loop trails for kids. Hiked a couple trails today with my four-year-old and 18-mo old. Since the campground is closed (permanently?) It's quieter than most state parks in the summer, while still having bathrooms and excellent picnic areas. The park hosts old-growth douglas fir forests with high species diversity, we enjoyed listening to multitudes of birdsong along the trail including a grouse.

Eila Pergiel

Nice hike, very easy hikes. A lot of rugged up rooted trees and moss on everything

Lori Stiles

Great hiking. No longer has camping.

Brandy Richhart

Beautiful

Mark Bjorndal

Great place for photography and relaxation.

Jaan Toots

Worth a quick walk.

Evan Smith

A shame that the camping loop has been closed for fear of topping trees, but it is still a fantastic day use park. Beautiful example of our native forest ecosystem

PRIYA BHARDWAJ

Must visit place

Charles Waugh

No longer any camping -- in deference to keeping the roots of trees healthy. The old growth is a treasure, and since there is no camping, it is not crowded the way it could be

Laura Mackenzie

Can't beat the old growth forest hikes here. Tried a new hike called Fern Creek trail about .5 miles long, skinny trail up and down in places, roots and rocks to watch out for. Walking stick helped. Our own hall of mosses without traveling all the way to the Hoh Rain Forest on the peninsula.

L S

No camping but a easy stroll through old growth forrest

Tammy Caldwell

It's a day use only State Park. It's well maintained. There is a lot of old trees and a clean parking area. I didnt visit the visitors center but I read in the paper that they have hikes and activities.

Amy Hope

Only $20 a night in the winter with full hookups and a dump station for $5.

Giovanni Severini

Very well maintained, cozy and organized, the bathroom are very comfortable, overall a very good experience.

Tony Krautbauer

Nice and helpful park ranger, and great views!

Nikki Foster

Wonderful experience

fox fixit

Nice place for hikes and or picnics

Terry Kaylin Smith

Fabulous day!

Dimitri Lantenois

So nice place, so nice people. We paid 12$ for our tent site. 1$ the shower. You’ll hear the river passing by. The campground is so lovely and close by the north cascades. The best cost we have so far. Highly recommend.

J Rich

Beautiful old growth forest with good trails. Helpful camp hosts. Nice facilities and trails.

Pretty and relaxing little place

Nice spot on the Skagit River.

Tyler Bedard

Broke down in their fifteen minute parking and had to wait 2 hours and then fix a hose. I want even bothered once about not having a discover pass. I appreciate dat

Mike Linebrink

Trails and trees and bald eagles. Don't forget your Discover Pass.

John Goetz

I just went for a hike there, but if tall, dark, old growth forest are your thing it's a gorgeous place.

M Morrison

Nice deep forested park but due to root rot on trees camping is suspended in the park. Nice trails in the forest just below Sauk Mountain.

John Azariah

Beautiful Scenery

Gordy Bell

A beautiful park, with immense, ancient fir trees, over a hundred feet tall

Steve needham

Excellent place to go and have a picnic or barbecue. Used to be a full purpose Campground but now because of potential dead Falls it's day use only but still wonderful place to visit

Travis Cole

Beautiful nature area and great trails even in the off season.

angela goodall

Trails very nice

Cecily Tillinghast

Amazing old growth trees

Sam Smith

Nice short trails in old growth fir forest. No camping.

Eric Ross

This was a really nice and quiet park. We stopped here when geocaching. They have restrooms with flushing toilets and running water. It was a nice place to stop and we felt safe when here. I did not see any camping, but I could be wrong. They did have a big open area for your dog to run and stretch its legs.

R. Rivia

Always liked this place.

Chris Finckbone

It's a very beautiful hike with many beautiful areas to stop and enjoy all the peaceful sounds nature has to offer

Really is a great Park. Bathrooms were in great condition.

Elizabeth Manion

Nice relatively easy hike.

Alyssa Krautbauer

Beautiful, fresh hikes and super clean facilities.

Launi Harrell

Stunning. If its your first time in the Pacific North West this the perfect place to step through the woods as they transition from second growth to almost virgin forest- without a big hike!

Lyfe Sports

It's a pretty park, I haven't tried the lower trails. It's more of a nature walk instead of a hike. Super easy.

Yun Yoo

Very educational park,thanks your programs

Eric Damm

Nice out of the way park with some large old growth trees

Alexei Bucos

Magic experience to walk these trails among 200 years old trees; worth the drive from Seattle
