    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.

    Elwha Dam RV Park

    Great place

    There are lots of different options from tent sites to cabin rentals. Owners were very welcoming and accommodating. They have a veggie garden to share, lots of outdoor activity areas and places to explore within walking distance. It’s a great base camp for exploring the peninsula. They do a good job of providing privacy with the smaller RV spaces. WiFi is good, not great but that’s not why we’re there. We will be back!

    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!

    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!

    Family oriented campground with a great location

    I reserved a "family campsite" for tent camping with a friend this past week. The campground has a great location and is easily accessible from all that the San Juan Island has to offer. The sites are large and well appointed, ours was in a nice wooded area, had two picnic tables, a nice fire pit with grill and multiple flat spots for our tent. The sites don't offer a ton of privacy and we were surrounded by large groups of families, which was a bit noisy. We arrived at this campground after spending the 3 prior nights in the backcountry, so we were pretty excited to take advantage of the bathhouse and shower facilities. We may have just caught the campground at a bad time, but we were shocked to see how filthy the bathrooms and showers were. The showers were ice cold and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. The price was also rather steep ($66/night for the most basic camp site offered) but understandable considering the lack of availability for campsites during the high season on the island.

    Overall, I would definitely recommend this campground to a family looking for fun activities for the kids while staying on the island. The resort also offers many other types of accommodations that I would be interested to try in the future including cabins, airstream trailers and "glamping" canvas tents!

    Lovely little “cabins”

    Stayed here for a long weekend. Great location. Nice walking trails and beach access. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Pet friendly cabins is an extra bonus!


Guide to Coupeville

Cabins near Coupeville, Washington provide a strategic location for enjoying Puget Sound's recreational opportunities. The area's temperate maritime climate averages 19-25 inches of annual rainfall, significantly less than Seattle due to the rain shadow effect of the Olympic Mountains. Most cabin camping locations sit at sea level with direct water access, creating distinct seasonal rental patterns.

What to do

Explore historic military structures: Fort Casey State Park provides access to military installations dating to the early 1900s. "The fort is fun to explore all the dark nooks and crannies. The light house is just cool. The land around the Fort is easy to hike around to see the different parts and buildings," notes Emily S.

Beach exploration and wildlife viewing: Fort Flagler Historical State Park Campground offers extensive shoreline access with seasonal marine life viewing. "Amazing views, lots to do and a wonderful place to spend some time. I look forward to going every year," states Daniel S.

Paddle sports opportunities: Beach Campground — Fort Worden Historical State Park provides protected water access for kayaking. "Great coastal views and beach walks with lighthouse and pier access. Possibility to rent kayaks," mentions Leonard H.

What campers like

Navy jet watching: Many cabin stays near Coupeville include views of military aircraft from nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. "Navy reservists as rule not practicing. Happy to say we only encountered a couple jets making racket so our stay was relatively quiet," reports Rose M. at Deception Pass State Park.

Off-season solitude: Camano Island State Park Campground cabins remain available year-round with reduced crowding in winter months. "We had beautifully clear skies and little light pollution so it was really nice for stargazing," explains Christina F. about her January visit to a nearby park.

Military history access: Multiple cabin locations provide proximity to historical military installations. "We stayed in site #79 for our camper and truck. We enjoyed walking on the beach and hiking around the park to all the Geocache's. Great food at the guardhouse and the staff is super friendly," notes Becky R.

What you should know

Limited privacy at some locations: Water-view cabin sites often trade privacy for views. "Being right on the beach is fantastic, and well worth the slightly higher cost," notes Tom R. at Fort Worden, while others mention the beach campground is "very open with little privacy between spots."

Varying winter facility access: Winter cabin rentals remain available, but with reduced services. Deception Pass State Park Campground maintains limited winter operations. "The only campground open in the winter at Deception Pass State Park is the Quarry Pond area. And even though the weather was wet and cold the campground was far from empty during our stay," reports Erica G.

Reservation lead times vary seasonally: Summer cabin rentals require advance planning, while shoulder season availability improves. "We managed to get a last minute 2 night reservation in June. Site was great with lots of room and full services," shares Doug M. about Fort Worden.

Tips for camping with families

Junior Ranger programs: Several parks near Coupeville offer educational programs for children. "Kids of all ages should do the Junior Ranger program which the Gift Shop has the packets," recommends Becky R.

Protected swimming areas: Bay View State Park Campground provides calm water access suitable for younger children. "Cranberry Lake has a designated swimming area where the water is super shallow and just perfect for the kiddos," shares one camper about Deception Pass.

Geocaching opportunities: Multiple parks feature geocaching routes designed for family exploration. "We enjoyed walking on the beach and hiking around the park to all the Geocache's," notes one reviewer about their family activities at Fort Worden.

Tips from RVers

Limited sewer connections: North Whidbey RV Park provides more comprehensive hookups than many state parks. "We called early afternoon and asked if they had a space for that night for a fifth wheel with total rig length 53ft. Nice grass around all the campsites, 50 Amp electricity, water and sewer," shares Jeanie S.

Campsite surface conditions: Many cabins and RV sites feature compacted gravel pads rather than concrete. "Asphalt roads with compacted dirt pads. See website for length of level pad," advises Leonard H. about Deception Pass campground.

Water accessibility varies: Some cabin locations include direct water access while others require short walks. "There are trails everywhere from the campsites, but most importantly down to the beach and Cranberry Lake. I must say it's quite amazing to sleep amongst the tall trees of the forest and then meander down to the beach to play!" explains one camper.
