Camping and Swimming at Moran State Park's South End: A Two-Night Adventure

Our recent camping trip to Moran State Park's South End campground provided an idyllic escape into nature. We spent two nights of lakeside bliss and refreshing swims in Cascade Lake. The South End campsite, known for its spectacular views and proximity to the water, offered a perfect base for our outdoor retreat.

From the moment we arrived, the South End campsite impressed us with its well-spaced sites and direct access to Cascade Lake. Each site had enough room for our camping gear and offered a personal slice of the park's stunning natural scenery. The lake's close proximity meant that taking a swim was as simple as stepping out of our tent.

Swimming in Cascade Lake was undoubtedly a bonus that enhanced our camping experience. The lake's water was crystal clear, making it inviting at any time of the day. Early mornings were especially magical, as the still water mirrored the beautiful sunrise, creating a perfect setting for a peaceful swim.

The campground boasted clean facilities and accessible amenities, including a nearby restroom with showers maintained impeccably throughout our stay. Evenings were spent around the fire ring, where we cooked meals and shared stories under the starlit sky, the gentle sound of the lake providing a soothing backdrop.

Our two-night stay at the South End of Moran State Park was nothing short of rejuvenating. It combined the rustic charm of camping with the leisure of lakeside relaxation. For anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the San Juan Islands, this campground, with its exceptional swimming opportunities, comes highly recommended.
