Mountain Loop campground with 37 public RV-capable sites, one tent-only site, vault toilets, no water or hookups, and an accessible mill-pond trail across the highway.
Gold Basin Campground sits near the South Fork Stillaguamish River. Current federal descriptions conflict, citing both 39 and 29 primitive campsites. The live Recreation.gov inventory resolves the RV question more precisely: 37 public standard sites permit RVs, one additional public site is tent-only, and three management records are excluded. Public site-specific limits reach 45 feet. The campground has vault toilets but no potable water, hookups, showers, or dump station.
Gold Basin is in the South Fork Stillaguamish corridor. Gold Basin Mill Pond and its accessible interpretive trail are across the highway from the campground, not inside the camping loops.
Practical guidance assembled from current operator maps, park pages, and clearly identified community observations.
The 37-site RV count comes from current public standard inventory and excludes one tent-only and three management records. Site-specific RV limits range from 22 to 45 feet; bring all drinking water.
