"Not especially private. It's nice, but I would prefer a spot that's a little more secluded. Benefits of this site are the facilities and the 15 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Super conveneient."
"Creek in the backyard, nice and secluded. Do have to bring tote up to bo w location. Great showers."
"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."

"We originally were going to stay for 2 weeks (but the Campground we were going to afterward was closed by corporate for electrical repairs) so the very nice park ranger, Linda, was able to extend our stay"
"This RV Park has many seasonal or long term campers, but it was perfect for the 3 nights we stayed here. Easily accessible, reasonably priced, clean facilities, quiet, friendly neighbors."

from $35 / night

"Big dog park, clean bathroom & showers. Paved. Some sites are narrow and shady but overall a very nice park."

"Full 50 amp hookups, gravel pull through spaces. It is quiet here even though the train comes by every evening at idle speed. Our diesel trucks are louder than the train."
ScoutBeautiful spot on Orcas Island. Do be aware there is a ferry ride and you need a reservation and it can be expensive depending on the size of your rig. Water and 30 amp electric. Clean bathrooms and showers. Cute café and the best sunset on the island.
ScoutMy review is from my own experience but there are numerous other reviews that express my same sentiments. I was there 7 years and only had infractions during one month. (all from the same ranger) and one speeding infraction.
Port Susan Camping Resort has been a bad experience for me and presently turned to bitter. I sold my lot but the check got lost in the mail. I asked the sales agent to replace the check and I have waited approximately 35 days! I finally asked the board to intervene. This is bad business. This is a sample of the treatment or abuse I was given at Port Susan from the sales office. Replacing a check is easy and the money is not even drawn on Port Susan, it comes from the buyer. What would happen if I were paid but the buyer could not access the lot or wasn't given a gate pass or if the sales had to wait for their commission for 35 days after the sale? I was treated so unfairly! They showed me lots for sale with BLACK MOLD.I would think I am being targeted once again but there are many complaints that have been filed about poor management, unfair fines and being targeted if you speak up. The only recourse you have is to go to Tribal court since Port Susan Camping resort is Tribal owned. If you ask me this is a conflict of interest? Bottom line, absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Port Susan is like living under communist rule: The board took a vote to install 50 amp service, the members voted against it because most trailers use 30 amp. The 50 amp was installed any way and members have to pay for it. I spoke up on Campers Chat, but PSCC has the right to determine what will be allowed to be viewed. Freedom of Speech, NOT sat Port Susan. Members have to be careful who they speak to, if they speak against unfair fines to one of"them" they will be targeted. I have been targeted by one ranger who gave me 1200.00 worth of fines in one month. There used to be one ranger who patrolled lots 24 hours a day now there are 2 or 3. You are under constant survelience and fined for violations. Port Susan changes the rules constantly. One example, the road going downhill to the laundra mat and mailbox changed the speed limit to 5 miles per hour. Try going down a hill at 5 miles per hour. I was fined 200.00 at 5:00 am. This was thrown out because no one could do this but later going down hill to the front gate is a radar controlled system. I accidentally was going 17 mph in a 15 mph and was fined 400.00 for going over the speed limit for a 2nd infraction! no where in this country has fines like this but PSCC has unlimited power and no jusidiction. If you take it Tribal Court,( they lease the land to Port Susan you can be held liable to pay the attorney fees against Port Susan. There is less than 30 years on the lease so your membership is a poor investment. Not to mention that they have water pipe problems and boil water warnings posted periodically. If they decide to change all the water pipes the members will pay. I had rats get into my trucks. One was towed to Toyota and they found a rat. The rats got into the cab. I replaced this truck with a brand new Honda and during an oil change was notified that rat tracks were found all over my distributor cover and it was only at my site for 2 weeks!!! Many members tell the truth once they leave and abuse and mistreatment is the norm. THIS IS A FEAR BASED COMMUNITY Good luck with your purchase
ScoutStayed here 2 nights... . sign in and yu can stay for free 3 nights. If yu want electrical and water, it is 20$ . Wifi in the casino. Friendly staff.
ScoutFull Hookups at the waters edge at a marina with great views. But packed together with no picknic table or fire pit. Next to restaurants and shopping. It’s different
LegendGreat spot to stay while visiting the area. There are trails to hike and wildlife to observe in camp. We needed to charge batteries so opted for a full hook-up site. The sites are nestled in the trees giving you some privacy from other campers.
One thing to note is that the main restrooms are already closed for the season. Half the available restroom/shower combinations for the TH and boat ramp were closed as well. I spoke with a camp host who stated they were having vandalism problems and were in need of repairs to the drainage systems so they opted to close them early. The water in the CG was still on and the dump station was also operational.
Overall a great place to stay while visiting Anacortes.
LegendWe spent two nights at this small campground. It is free in off season. There is a vault toilet but no other amenities. Sites were clean and in good condition.
Baker Lake TH is a few miles up the road for more exploring.
ScoutIt IS a pretty, private, moderately priced rv park. Too bad -- there is a note announcing their permanent closure 10/31/2026. Enjoy it while you can!
RangerDecent option if you’re traveling down 5. Seems like a popular spot so some safety in numbers. There’s a similar rest area on the other side for those traveling north
ScoutJust a car park. Do not go to the front of the casino as there are over hanging branches that that can scratch your RV.
Burlington, Washington RV campgrounds sit between Puget Sound and the Cascade foothills at 30 feet above sea level. The region experiences mild Pacific Northwest weather with summer temperatures typically ranging from 65-75°F, while winter camping requires preparation for frequent rainfall averaging 32 inches annually. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, with seasonal amenities adjusting for weather conditions.
Explore Deception Pass State Park: Located just a short drive from Burlington RV sites, this natural landmark features hiking trails along dramatic cliff views overlooking the water. A camper at North Whidbey RV Park shared, "You are steps from the entry of Deception Pass State Park to find tons of hiking but if you venture right 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."
Visit local farms and markets: The area around Burlington features agricultural attractions worth exploring. Near Thousand Trails Mount Vernon, one visitor recommended, "We took a day trip to the cascades." Another camper staying on Whidbey Island suggests, "Make sure you get to Greenbank Farms for some local cheeses and Whidbey Pies because nothing says post-hike refuel like Loganberry pie."
Beach walking at low tide: Several RV parks provide access to waterfront areas where timing your visit with tides enhances the experience. At Cliffside RV Park, a reviewer noted, "At low tide, you can walk all the way to Rocky Point and beyond outside of the base. A lovely paved waterfront trail on the bluff and then an amazing sandy beach."
Spacious sites at select parks: While many Burlington area RV campgrounds feature standard-sized sites, some offer extra room. At Friday Creek Campground, a camper described their spot as "Creek in the backyard, nice and secluded. Do have to bring tote up to bow location. Great showers."
Natural settings despite proximity to town: Several campgrounds maintain wooded environments while providing convenient access to urban amenities. One visitor to Thousand Trails La Conner appreciated that "It's true it doesn't feel like a parking lot, which is great" while another noted it was "Beautiful campground. Near the water and shared by the local tribe."
Clean facilities: Many RV parks in the Burlington area maintain well-kept grounds and amenities. A visitor to Mount Vernon RV Park observed, "Staff was very friendly. 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."
Jet noise from Naval operations: Several campgrounds near Burlington experience occasional aircraft sounds. A camper at North Whidbey RV Park mentioned, "There is occasional noise from Naval Station Whidbey, but this camper doesn't mind the occasional sighting of a fighter jet."
Utility maintenance issues: Some campgrounds experience periodic service interruptions. A visitor to Thousand Trails La Conner reported, "June 2023 dump stations and all campsite sewer hookups are down for maintenance. Nearest offsite dumps are 10 miles away."
Seasonal closures: Not all facilities operate year-round. A camper noted about Riverfront RV Park, "Affordable stay $25 @7/2020. Closing at end of month for renovations." Another visitor mentioned that Friday Creek Campground is "Only open May-Oct!"
Variable site quality within parks: Even within the same campground, site conditions can differ significantly. At Thousand Trails Mount Vernon, a camper observed, "There are a limited number of sewer sights you can get on a wait list for. All the power poles, water, sewer hookups all look in good order."
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Some Burlington area RV parks offer recreation options specifically designed for younger campers. A visitor to La Conner appreciated that "Bathrooms are kept clean, mini golf is fun, and the walks to 'Lone Tree' at sunset are amazing. The hosts are ALWAYS so friendly!"
Consider cabin options: For families traveling without an RV or wanting extra space, several parks offer alternative accommodations. At Bellingham RV Park, a visitor noted the "Office/lodge has laundry room and showers. There is wi-fi that covers most of the park."
Check noise sensitivity: Traffic and aircraft sounds can disrupt light sleepers. A visitor to North Whidbey RV Park observed, "The sites are really close together and most don't have any privacy. There are plentiful street lamps within the campground that caused me to get up from bed and start hanging towels over windows to block the light."
Site selection matters: Burlington area RV parks vary in site layout and topography. A visitor to Thousand Trails Mount Vernon cautioned, "There are a few hills that might be a problem for larger Class A's with a trailer."
Wi-Fi reliability varies: Connectivity differs between parks and even within the same campground. At Thousand Trails Mount Vernon, a camper warned, "If you need wifi to plan your next days this location is not for you. Wifi available at the lodge only and very slow."
Check for resort amenities: Some Burlington area RV parks offer unexpected services. A visitor to Town and Country Motorcoach and RV Resort was pleasantly surprised, noting "Place is brand new. Facility is more like a 3 or 4 star hotel. First time I was ever given a cookie at check in or where there were massage rooms available in the spa."
Advance reservations essential: Most parks fill quickly during peak seasons. At North Whidbey RV Park, an RVer shared, "We called early afternoon and asked if they had a space for that night for a fifth wheel with total rig length 53ft," suggesting that last-minute availability sometimes exists but cannot be counted on.
