Best RV Parks & Resorts near Bellingham, WA

This is the very first park I took my motorhome to.  After spending a year getting the rig ready, I was finally ready to take it on the road.  I had joined Thousand Trails earlier in the year and set off to see what I knew.  While I had previous RVs before (5th Wheel, Class C's, Travel trailers) this was my trip in a Class A.

My first visit to the Thousand Trails La Conner site was great.  I was able to find a nice full hook up site at the edge of the park very close to the water.

A couple more visits to the park in the following months gave a less than great experience but still good.

Last week turned a corner.  While the staff is still five star level, the park is showing a lot of wear and tear.  I counted more than a dozen closed sites.  Some of these sites had been closed for a long time.  Potholes and ruts in the road made travel unpleasant but the pools of water (and mud) really stood out.

Granted, I was there in February but these issues were not just seasonal.  Some of the same sites had been closed for the past few visits to the park.  

I hope they start to pay attention to this park because its location is great.

Nice place, friendly staff best Thousand Trails so far. They have all the usual amenities for resort. 2 phases for RVs - phase 1 spots are so close you could very well “spare a square” of TP to your neighbor. Phase 2 has a lot more room to spread out and it’s nice. But the most surprising was the very nice bathrooms! Definitely would stay here again.

Great campground this was hands down one of our favorite thousand trails in Washington you will enjoy this campground Great location great campground would go back

I love thousand trails, we decided last minute to get out of the house and away for the weekend and spend some time outdoors. We didn’t spend a lot of time packing diligently for camping, but anything we forgot we didn’t notice. Thousand trails has everything that we may have left behind, very convenient to pick up from on-site store. There were plenty of outdoor activities to keep the dogs and kiddos entertained. Will definitely be going back soon before the weather gets cold.

We enjoyed our stay. Our nephews came to visit and enjoyed the pool and small nature trails around camp. There is a lot to do around town all within biking distance. We paddle boarding in the bays!! Great blues bands in town. Only problem I had was having to pay $10.00 for our guests just to park their cars by our campsite!! We are THOUSAND TRAILS ADVENTURES!!! NOT OK

This is a Thousand Trails facility. Lots of spaces but not many with sewer. It’s first come and you pick a empty spot. If you can find one. Only a few have water views. I forgot a couple of things so was really happy the store was open. I saw the hot tub and mini golf. There was a large open grassy area to play . Everyone was pretty nice.

This is my first time using a thousand trails membership so I didn’t know what to expect. The overall campground is nice with almost all of the sites being surrounded by trees or a view of the bay. But it was disappointing to find that the few sites that have a sewer connection were all taken and no way to know this in advance. The Wi-Fi they have is only at the recreation building so that amenity should not have been listed on their website.  About 20% of the campsites were being occupied by people who seem to be living there year-round with questionable RVs and lots of junk around their site. This diminished the overall nice setting of the campground.

This small campsite is worth a visit. Breath taking view of the ocean and just minutes to the ferry. Book early if you need or want full hook up as there are limited sites with full hook up available.

Nice park little tight but relatively nice spots. Limited full hook ups. Beautiful views of bay.

Campground located on the ocean. Some full hook ups, cabins, club house. Most sites treed although an area of parking lot type spots as well.

Staff was very friendly. We stayed in the overflow site directly next to the office with 20 amp electric only. Campground is well-maintained and very clean. Sites are a little close together, but you do have some green space with a picnic table at each site. Each site is full hook up with water, electric and sewer, and there is not a separate dump station. There are some permanent residents throughout the campground.

Nice location conveniently located near the Marina, close to everything.

Premium sites are double wide and have a spot to park your RV AND Vehicle. Discount for Good Sam Club members.

Premium Sites $55 before discount (back-in only) Pull-through Sites $55 before discount Regular Back-in Site $45

All sites have Full Hookups, Picnic table & a minor grassed Area.

We stayed in a Premium site, enjoyed the view of the Fields behind us. Extremely quiet, open, not dusty. Downside, people don’t pick up after their Pets. We have two Shelties & think of others so we’re not the Culprits…

Otherwise, pleasant overall. Laundry accepts cards only which is extremely convenient since coins are hard to come by.

5G t-Mobile is 5-stars at our Site, it’s not listed as an option yet.

RV Park for all size trailers, Class A and Class C motor homes. Restrooms, showers, Office, near a small gas station called The Lake Goodwin Store and a Restaurant Pub called The Paddle Pub that has a Cafe next door which sells espresso, icecream and pastries.

We spent 4 nights here as a jumping-off point to explore Whidbey Island and a day trip to visit Orcas Island. We were leery of bringing our trailer onto the ferry for the first time, so we took the driving route via Deception Pass. The location is fantastic for access To Oak Harbor, Anacortes and Deception Pass State Park. We spent the weekend here with my sister and her family who rented one of the cabins at the RV Park.

The cabin was very simple, clean and had a well-stocked kitchen. They enjoyed their stay and it was a convenient way for all of us to spend more time together. We were in RV spot C-22 and it was quite a tight and unlevel location. The pavement on the grounds is not in great condition with lots of bumps and ditches, but we were able to finagle our trailer to a stable spot. Your neighbors are very close but the grounds are very quiet. The staff is immensely helpful and friendly. Our water spigot was leaking badly when we arrived and they had repaired it by the next morning.

The grounds aren’t ideal but the location to exploring Whidbey is well worth it. You are steps from the entry of Deception Pass State Park to find tons of hiking but if you venture right (directionally) out of the driveway from the RV Park, you’ll find the Cornet Bay side of the state park that offers quieter, lesser crowded trails and a different view of the bridge. I spent my evenings running through this side of the park and it was lovely with lots of wildlife and nearly complete solitude. Also, make sure you get to Greenbank Farms for some local cheeses and Whidbey Pies because nothing says post-hike refuel like Loganberry pie.

Plenty of pull thru spots. Full hook ups. Super clean restrooms. Big pool. There are several back in spots around the perimeter with a bit more room (length). There are spaces with sufficient width for tip outs and those without. I love the hedges between spots so you’re not eating lunch at the table, staring at your neighbors sewer hose and power box. We will be back for sure.

I have started to anticipate that these RV parks are for locals and regulars who begrudgingly tolerate the revenue from travelers. I didn’t feel that way at Sunny Point and it was actually a very welcoming spot for people passing through. Right off the bat they are clear about being able to accommodate either RVs or tents, so if you’re a tent dweller, don’t feel like you’re going to be in the middle of a sea of RVs — you’ll still be in the minority but there is a good variety of accommodation going on here. I loved their quirky orca decor, a testament to how frequently you can see these incredible animals passing by Point Roberts. Sites have picnic benches and fire pits and community oriented get togethers (distinct from the usual programming, these were very casual and a pleasant change of pace).

Dog friendly. Fees were a bit high ($50 with hookups in the off season, $55 in the high season, $35 with no hookups). Showers and public restrooms available for those who aren’t in RVs (and I guess those who are) at no additional cost. The beach was a bit rocky but beautiful and offered tremendous views of the mountains. I would have stayed longer if I could have.

Some of the sites are close together (for a WA state park) but the sites are still private by normal RV park standards. The location is excellent and the rangers are nice. Site 24 is private and nice. The only caveat is that the fire pit and picnic table are on the hookup side of the slot. We would stay here (and in this slot) in a heartbeat.
