Description

Located on the eastern shore of Lake Goodwin, this award-winning park offers splendid opportunities for picnicking, sunbathing, boating, and camping. Within these 45 acres, you'll discover a 70-site campground, three picnic shelters, an enclosed swim beach with rinse shower, and 1,140 feet of freshwater shoreline with a two-lane concrete boat launch for your toys. The day-use area restroom is closed and winterized November-March.

Management of the park was transferred to Snohomish County from the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission on July 16, 2009, in an effort to keep state parks open and available to residents and visitors while responding to state budget reductions. In 2018, the day-use area was renovated to provide much-improved ADA access to the swimming beach and swimming/fishing dock.

Wenberg County Park won the Washington Recreation and Parks Association Spotlight Award for an Outdoor Space in 2021. Spotlight Awards highlight excellence and achievements in the field of parks and recreation by honoring the amazing efforts of public agencies and design firms. Facilities & Parks Awards recognize the highest standards in design, development, and renovation of park and recreation areas.


Camping

Wenberg Park's campsites are situated within three campground loops offering full-utility (water/power/sewer), partial-utility (water/power), and non-utility sites.

  • Loop 1 (sites 1-15) is a mix of full-utility sites and partial utility sites. This loop is open for year-round camping, but amenities are limited during winterization.  Tent camping is not recommended in this loop. 
  • Loop 2 (sites 16-44) offers a mix of partial and non-utility sites. Loop 2 is closed from November 1st through the end of February
  • Loop 3 (sites 45-67) offers mostly non-utility sites and is best suited for tent camping. Loop 3 is closed from November 1st through the end of February.


Winterization

Wenberg campground is winterized Mid-October through March each year.  A frost-free spigot is available across from Site 6 during this time, but all other water in the campground is shut-off, and the restrooms and dump station are closed.  Only self-contained camping units (no tents) are allowed during winterization.  


Reservations

Camping reservations can be made online or through the call center (M-F, 8:30 am-4:30 pm) at 425-388-6600. Reservations must be made no later than three days prior to check-in.  Drop-in camping is allowed for sites that are not reserved (including ADA sites), on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please note, reservations are shut-down during times of winterization (drop-in camping only).
