"Sometimes it's nice to just get away though and still have power and a bed."

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.
GuideI had the great fortune of being here off season, and there were very few fellow campers. Many campsites are right on the water and there is a great mix of car camping and walk-in sites. There is a group site, and some short hiking trails. The beauty is the beach and water and the amazing night sky. The pit toilets are clean and it is a laid back place. During the busy season the beach sites would be tight. Very few van/trailer sites so pay attention to the website because it has everything g you need to know.
Scout10 out of 15 sites were available on Labor Day weekend Saturday at 4pm. No reservations - it's just show up, put $15 cash in the box, and claim your campsite. Perfectly adequate car camping with a picnic table, fire circle, and access to pit toilets.
you can still hear road noise from the main road, and barking dogs in the morning from a nearby dog sanctuary. Beautiful rhododendron brush covers the space between sites.
ScoutThe Navy carrier jets train out here, for hours on end, you can’t hear someone next to you speak when they’re overhead, and it’s one after another. To top it off, some dipsh@t did the grand finale flight of the evening, around 11:30 PM, so low over the campground they lit up the inside of the tent.
Without the jets, this would be a great spot. Beautiful scenery, plenty of trails and beaches, well kept, but the constant interruption of any moment of peace makes it worthless unless you’re deaf and don’t mind the ground vibrating routinely when they fly over.
LegendWe were coming off Orcas Island on a later ferry and wanted a “known” place to stay. This is a shared KOA/Thousand Trails site. It is situated amongst large Cedars so sites are pretty dark. Gravel roads and sites. Older bathrooms that don’t seem too clean. KOA amenities like a pool/hot tub, kids playground and dog area. Just feels tired and not too upscale. If it were full it would feel crowded. Updated from 3 to 4 stars. There is a second bathroom building which is much newer and has modern showers and fixtures. It also seemed cleaner.
GuideBasic forest service campground. Off the beaten path. Pit toilet is very clean
LegendDeception Pass State Park is an incredible place to camp. The scenery and hikes have a wow factor. We enjoy the smaller Quarry Pond side. Great facilities. Wonderful campground.
GuideThis site is clean and there are good level sites available. However, it’s quite dense and you will have no privacy if you have neighbors.
GuideThe sites were large, the bathrooms nice, even in the middle of summer it was pretty quiet considering how many people were camping there. Day use is on the shore and easy to access and town is just a walk or bike ride away! The sunset view was incredible from the day use area.
Near Hamilton, Washington, several campgrounds offer access to Baker Lake, North Cascades wilderness trails, and mountain views. The area sits at the junction of the Skagit and Baker rivers, with elevations ranging from 200-600 feet at most campsites.

Hike to Baker Hot Springs: Located across the road from Swift Creek Campground, this 3+ mile trail leads to popular natural hot springs. "My son and I spent one night here mid week. It is a solid camp ground, quiet and very clean. There are plenty of trails to explore and the lake is beautiful," notes Lucas.
Kayak Baker Lake: The pristine waters offer excellent paddling opportunities. "We've now stayed at this campground twice. It's a bit unique as half the sites are KOA and half are Thousand Trails, but both sections are serene, well maintained, and peaceful. We use this campground as a jumping off point for kayaking adventures into the North Cascades," shares a visitor at Thousand Trails Grandy Creek.
Fish for sockeye salmon: Baker Lake is known for its seasonal sockeye runs. "This is an incredible campground out on a peninsula on Baker Lake with views in all directions, including of Mt. Baker itself. This is not a big campground at all so make sure you reserve in advance. There are a good number of sites pretty close to the water and you can easily put your canoe in the water," reports Kim B.
Private beach access: Multiple sites at Panorama Point Campground offer direct water access. "We camped in site 6 double site (best group site) and we loved it! We had our own access to the water and the fire pit is located with an excellent view of the mountains. They don't call it Panorama Point for nothing," writes Michelle G.
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the area maintain well-kept amenities. "This is a very clean campground. Those responsible for it take a lot of pride in keeping the facility clean for all of us who enjoy camping. There are a ton of amenities here such as flush toilets, a boat ramp, drinking water, picnic areas, and handicap accessible sites," notes Carrie J. about Horseshoe Cove Campground.
Family-friendly activities: "This is one of the top campgrounds in our rotation. The sites are pretty spacious, lots of stuff for kids to do. 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 (new?) better than ever!" shares Kathy A.
Limited amenities at some sites: Facilities vary widely between campgrounds. "The Thousand Trails property is convenient. Only 15 minutes away from town but you feel secluded. Close to a lot of great trails. Campsites are very close together with the exception of a few. Bathrooms are clean," explains Jeracha D.
Seasonal water availability: Some campgrounds have limited services during certain periods. "$37 per night for a standard campsite. No running water at the moment," reports Eric O. at Panorama Point.
Insects: "Very wooded, big and shady campsites. Just spectacular. Site 35 is a double lot - didn't know that when booking. It is a little bit more exposed than some of the other sites available but still had a lovely time," shares a camper about glamping near Hamilton, Washington.
Swimming areas: Baker Lake offers designated swimming zones. "The swimming area is great for kids and adults, lots of places in the shade on the hill next to it with or without picnic tables, a few bathrooms nearby and water spigots," explains Lucas.
Security considerations: Military Park Jim Creek offers an extra level of safety. "Because of this and the base police roll through once or twice a day, I felt very safe compared to a state park or even a private campground. We camped Tuesday-Friday and even when it started filling up in Thursday, it was still super quiet at night. Quiet like not even bug sounds. That was wonderful," notes Christina F.
Kid-friendly glamping: Alternative accommodations work well for families. "The campsite is great for kids because of the amenities like the pool and other games. Good for people now into glamping. If you're looking for a 'nature' experience this isn't it. If you have a trailer or reserve a cabin is great," shares Stephanie P.
Full hookup availability: Not all sites offer complete services. "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," advises Jeff M. at La Conner RV.
Concrete pads: Some sites feature improved parking areas. "The RV pads are double wide concrete pads about 50 feet long with full hook-ups. All sites include a fire pit, picnic table, and grill with ash bucket and grill cleaning brush," describes Christina F.
Cell service considerations: Coverage varies dramatically throughout the area. "ATT cell service is solid. I was able to use my phone as a hot spot and work a bit, too. BONUS!!" reports Kathy A. about the Grandy Creek area, while others note spotty service at other glamping locations near Hamilton.
