Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Lummi Island, WA

995 Reviews

Moran State Park's dog-friendly campgrounds offer a variety of pet-accommodating options across Orcas Island near Lummi Island. The park features multiple camping areas including Midway, Mountain Lake, and Southend campgrounds, all permitting pets with proper leash control. Each site includes standard amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and access to toilets, with many campgrounds also providing showers. Campers appreciate the well-maintained facilities and proximity to hiking trails where dogs can join their owners. Sites accommodate tents, RVs, and some areas offer glamping or yurt options that also welcome pets. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer months when campsites fill quickly regardless of accommodation type.

Mountain Lake trails provide excellent dog walking opportunities with a 3-mile lakeside path popular among pet owners. The park's multiple lakes offer water access points where dogs can cool off after hikes, though owners should bring towels as no dedicated pet washing stations exist. Wildlife encounters are common, with many campers reporting deer sightings throughout the campgrounds. Pet owners should be prepared for limited cell service in some camping areas, particularly at Mountain Lake. Those requiring veterinary services may need to drive into town, as no emergency pet care exists within the park boundaries. Washington Park Campground in Anacortes and Birch Bay State Park in Blaine offer alternative pet-friendly camping options closer to mainland services if island camping presents too many logistical challenges for camping with dogs.

    Burlington-Anacortes KOA

    Oversell on Amenities

    The campground itself is very clean, you can tell the owners take pride it in. The showers are warm, not as hot as I’d like but very very nice! The dog park is gravel, so that was a bummer. The hot tub, indoor pool, and and gym are closed for the season. Not sure how those are seasonal. Overall it’s clean and quiet.

    Thousand Trails Birch Bay

    Awful, we left upon arrival

    Won't let me give zero stars. So I donated$200 plus, and stayed long enough to drive phase 1 and phase 2 loops, and then left and drove 1 hour and 1/2 home. RED FLAG: First, they take reservations but do not reserve a spot for you; rv spots are first come first serve. RED FLAG: No specific photos of RV SITES on website. All roads are gravel. Phase 1 are all straight back in and not angled. You literally butt against the rv directly behind with maybe 12 inches separating you. The slidouts were literally inches away from neighbors. The only thing green were the weeds around the power and water poles. Phase 1 was bascially a refugee camp. The rv pads were weeds, grass, and some gravel. This area is not maintained at all. Phase two was full, with no trees. Grass dead. Nothing green except weeds. Sites were big and wide. It's was dreary and sad. There were two other RV'S circling and appeared to as shocked as us. I've seen better dog parks. I called my friend who wanted a review after our stay as he had a reservation in September. Needless to say he cancelled his reservation. The beach is not walking distance I would never consider this park ever and plan on leaving this review anywhere I can. The photos in other reviews here look nothing like what I saw today.

    Evergreen Coho SKP Park

    For Escapee members only

    Wonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets. 

    We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all. 

    Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.

    Riverfront RV Park

    Urban Camping At Its Best

    Great spot for an Overnighter on the road through quaint Sedro-Woolley WA, this spot contains amenities for all, along with RV parking and a handful of tent lots. If you care to go swimming it has easy access directly to the lake with a primitive boat launch meant for smaller, canoe-like, vessels. Clean Restrooms, no showers, but they have a stage and performances during the summer months and two Parks, meant for all ages! Surrounding areas to explore include a Dog Park just across the way, and a spooky hike among abandoned buildings which were once part of Northern State Mental facility. Be sure to take in the Train display at the Town’s enterance and have a great trip!

    Bellingham RV Park

    Noisy and off-putting

    The service… At first, over the phone, the worker here seemed very nice but upon arrival, this campground was very off-putting. I’m not a big fan of anyone walking into my campsite even if they think they are being helpful. But this worker followed us into the site and immediately told us our rig was too far forward… we hadn’t even cut the truck off yet. And proceeded to talk to us while we were just trying to get settled. Just really weird vibes.

    About this site itself…. TIGHT. No room on either side. No privacy. No place for pets to go even though it advertises that there is a pet area. This morning, after walking to the back of the campground where the worker told us we could take our dog when we checked in, he told us that we couldn’t let our dog walk in that grassy area. We were like, there is literally nowhere else to take the dog. It’s entirely surrounded by business and the airport.

    We kept to ourselves and got a refund for the final booked night so we could just leave. The worker was really not thrilled about that request and was pretty rude about it.

    The only reason we give it two stars is for the location. You can’t get any closer to Bellingham which is absolutely awesome.

    Rainbows End RV Park

    Good RV park near Sequim, Port Angeles, Olympic National Park

    I’ve stayed at Rainbow’s End twice. Both times were in their overflow camping area, which are two spots with water and electric only, under some trees which made for comfortable shade. The staff at the park are nice and professional, the facilities are always clean, and there is a large dog park (it has a somewhat short fence, perfect for my small dogs but be careful with bigger animals). Lots of people live at Rainbow’s end full time. It’s very clean and well maintained. You do get some road noise from the US 101, but it’s not too noticeable. If you aren’t taking advantage of water and electric hookups, it could be a little expensive.

    Riverfront RV Park

    Off the beaten tracks

    Affordable stay  $25 @7/2020.    Closing at end of month for renovations.   

    Well kept large quiet park.  Great dg waking areas; including a dog park.  Some sites with trees for shade.   Hookups work.   Free city dump station within a mile; easy to access.  2 clean bathrooms; no shower.  Manager on site.   Gate locked by 10pm.   Access through older well kept neighborhoods.   Grocery store on main road.  Lorenzo-s was closed due to COVID; we ate their 10 years ago; mighty good rellanoes.   Gave it 4 as one toilet with very slow flush!   Perhaps renovations will solve that problem.  Perhaps showers will be included; they could charge more.
