    Lakedale Resort

    Glamping!

    We had Nevas Canvas Tent #6. It was amazing! Glamping at its finest! King size bed was super comfy. We had a huge deck overlooking one of the three lakes. Our tent also had a bathroom w/ a toilet and shower, an electrIc heater, a trundle bed/couch, and electrical outlets. They currently have 6 of these Nevas tents, 16 canvas tents (w/o water/restrooms/electricity), 6 huge log cabins, 7 yurts (w small kitchens), 37 or so camping sites, 4 RV sites, and an Airstream you can rent. There is also a traditional lodge (not sure how many rooms, but it looked nice). Canvas tents and lodge come w/ breakfast. We will for sure come back!

    Camano Island State Park Campground

    Group Camp Stay

    We stayed with several families at the group site with a mixture of trailers, tents, and tents on cars. The trailers ranged in size from 22’ to 36’ and we found ample space for each.

    This site has close access to the bathrooms shared with those staying in the cabins. Peekaboo views of the water between the trees.

    The site has several campsites that branch off of the road through the site which is also a trail. It has a central gravel area for a large group or trailers next to a large field area. There is no kitchen shelter, just picnic tables, fire pits, and a grill.

    The site feels very private but you have people passing on the trail/road, which runs through the middle of camp, at regular intervals.

    The park is full of steep hills which can make those with mobility challenges or kids wanting to ride bikes tough. The road to the beach is very steep.

    Bring bug spray as mosquitoes were vicious as well as the yellow jackets.

    Hidden Village RV Park & Campground

    Great price, very nice manager lady.

    I rented a long term space here for over 2 years while working in Washington. Price was by far the best around. It's a very good sized place with spaces to accommodate even the largest trailers. Even when full there's room to maneuver.Full hookups, wifi, bathrooms, shower, laundry room, swimming pool. Has seperate parking for boats, utility trailers etc. Lots of big trees around for a fair amount of shade. Is pet friendly. Manager lady is very nice. Has a separate non power section for tents or dry camping. It's not the fanciest but for the price is great.

    Deception Pass State Park Campground

    Cozy campsites !

    There were SO MANY available campsites when we got there. About mid afternoon. The ranger was super friendly and welcoming! The bathrooms were nice and had showers that require tokens that you can buy with your site at check in. The sites vary in size and shape but most of them are decently private/ spaced apart. The site next to us never got booked, probably because it was small, but it was nice for us because it was only a few bushes away. Sites include a picnic table and fire ring with grill grate . There was a trail to the beach not far from us and it was super nice. Although there are plenty of signs that require dogs to be on leashes most people did not adhere to those rules, so keep an eye out if you're bringing the doggos. Very family friendly, very cozy, very nice stay!

    Stayed two nights

    What a lovely campground! There’s a day use area with a bathroom and picnic tables right before entering into the campground. This place allows you to pay to park in the lots for $15/night if you are occupying it which is nice when the campground is full. There’s trash bins located throughout the campground as well as restrooms and shower houses (quarters needed). Dump station is $5. Several free options to pick from based on your setup. If you are paying to overnight park in the parking lot, you technically are not supposed to be using any of the amenities within the campground itself including the shower. If you speak with the Office and allow to pay them directly. They are very accommodating to allow you the bathroom code for the showers. They ask you only stay one night in the parking lot but you can ask for an extra night but get approval.

    There’s a bar and grill across the road with pizza and dog friendly. There’s trails around the campground to walk. Very pretty views of the water at half the sites. Camp hosts were very kind and came around at night to check to make sure everyone paid to stay so make sure you do if you are in the parking lot! Had fantastic ATT service and was able to work well. Varied from 3-4 bars of 5G. Only 30 minutes from NC NP entrance. Definitely would stay here again!

    Flowing Lake Park & Campground

    The cabins are a lot of fun!

    We typically visit the cabins here in the winter, so we don’t usually partake in the summer activities of swimming, boating, etc., but we do love coming here in the winter. The cabins are heated and have bunk beds, which makes for a cozy retreat into nature in the winter. The only reason that this spot did not get full stars is because the park has had transients hiking through the trails (which made for a scary 2 a.m. bathroom break).

    Camano Island State Park Campground

    Wonderful group site

    Stayed in the group site with my daughter’s American Heritage Girls troop. We had 22 girls and there was plenty of room. This is a huge group site. Has running water, a couple fire pits and a bunch of picnic tables. These are lots of level spots to pitch tents. The flush toilets and shower house are in the parking area for this site so really convenient. We drove down to the beach from the site but I’m pretty sure there is a trail if you wanted to walk. We had a great time!

Guide to Clearlake

Cabin camping near Clearlake, Washington offers accommodations throughout the Skagit Valley region where elevation ranges from sea level to 400 feet. The area experiences a maritime climate with mild, wet winters and cool summers, with July and August typically the driest months. Most cabin sites require visitors to check in by 5pm, with late arrivals needing to make special arrangements.

What to do

Hiking trails: Explore the forest trails at Deception Pass State Park where many connect directly to campgrounds. A camper noted that "Deception Pass State Park has a beach, camp sites and a hiking trail... The hiking trail is a little 3 mile loop with beautiful views."

Beach exploration: Walk along the shoreline at Camano Island State Park Campground for wildlife viewing and tide pool discoveries. "Cranberry Lake has a designated swimming area where the water is super shallow and just perfect for the kiddos," according to one visitor who appreciated the beach access from the forest campgrounds.

Kayaking: Launch from the waterfront at Fidalgo Bay Resort to paddle protected shorelines. "We spent a few hours playing in the current that rips through Deception Pass," reports a camper who ended their sea kayaking expedition at the park.

Fishing and crabbing: Bring fishing gear during summer months when the boat launch at Camano Island becomes busy. "There's boating and a few small trails, if you don't have a boat or don't plan to fish or crab there's not much to do but sit and enjoy the waves with a picnic," notes one visitor.

What campers like

Fire pits: Most cabin sites include outdoor fire rings for evening campfires, though seasonal fire restrictions may apply. At North Whidbey RV Park, one camper appreciated that "the whole park was clean and pretty quiet! It was right on the water and was exactly the right distance from Seattle to make us feel like we'd really left!"

Privacy levels: Some cabin areas offer more seclusion than others. A hiker at Deception Pass State Park Campground found "several secluded campsites set aside for hikers and bikers, and they were totally worth the work. We ended up in site #233 and it was perfect. Totally tucked away in the trees with soft ground and simple surroundings."

Location convenience: Many cabin sites serve as ideal baselines for regional exploration. One visitor at North Whidbey RV Park valued it as "a great base camp" mentioning "we had stopped in for a night on the way from Anacortes to OP Nat'l Park in order to check out Deception Pass and wish we had time for another night or two."

What you should know

Navy jet noise: Periodic aircraft noise affects several campgrounds in the area. A camper at Burlington-Anacortes KOA wrote, "The location is fantastic for access To Oak Harbor, Anacortes and Deception Pass State Park," but other campers mention jet noise from nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey.

Reservation requirements: Book well ahead during peak season (June-September). "Book ahead of time cause it fills up pretty fast!" warns a visitor at Bay View State Park Campground.

Bathroom facilities: Most cabins rely on central bathroom facilities rather than private facilities. A camper at Thousand Trails La Conner noted, "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."

Security features: Some resorts offer added security measures. According to a visitor, Thousand Trails La Conner has "a quiet place to get away from it all" while another camper appreciated that Burlington-Anacortes KOA is "gated and safe."

Tips for camping with families

Cabin selection: Choose cabins based on your specific needs and group size. At Thousand Trails Grandy Creek, one visitor reported, "Very nice place clean and quiet people here are so nice. So much here to do for the kids. And really cute dog walk."

Indoor amenities: Some cabins offer heating for cooler weather stays. "The campground is great, the reservation system is super easy to use, facilities are clean, there's a convenient store within walking distance for any forgotten camp essentials," reports a winter visitor to Deception Pass State Park.

Recreational options: Many campgrounds provide additional activities for children. One parent at Burlington-Anacortes KOA shared, "This weekend there is a lollipop toss, ice cream social, candy bar bingo, and an outdoor movie. The jumping pillow has been repaired and is better than ever! Great place to bring the kids."

Noise levels: Quiet hours vary by campground, typically beginning at 10pm. A camper at Bay View State Park Campground mentioned "The only caveat would be that it is quite noisy as it is right next to a main road and there was not a well enforced quiet time."

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Consider your cabin location within the campground. "Parking can be tricky in the higher numbered sites, especially for large vehicles," advises a camper at Bay View State Park.

Utility availability: Many cabins lack full bathroom facilities. "Bayview is one of my husband and I's favorite state parks for short term camping. Even when it's full, it's peaceful and the majority of sites have decent privacy via trees + shrubs," notes a regular visitor.

Accessibility: Some cabins require walking from parking areas. A visitor at Deception Pass State Park suggested, "If you plan to hike or bike in and use these spots, get there as early as you can. All the sites got used and several folks who showed up toward evening didn't get spots."
