    La Conner Marina RV Resort

    Decent Level Sites

    Nice location conveniently located near the Marina, close to everything.

    Premium sites are double wide and have a spot to park your RV AND Vehicle. Discount for Good Sam Club members.

    Premium Sites $55 before discount (back-in only) Pull-through Sites $55 before discount Regular Back-in Site $45

    All sites have Full Hookups, Picnic table & a minor grassed Area.

    We stayed in a Premium site, enjoyed the view of the Fields behind us. Extremely quiet, open, not dusty. Downside, people don’t pick up after their Pets. We have two Shelties & think of others so we’re not the Culprits…

    Otherwise, pleasant overall. Laundry accepts cards only which is extremely convenient since coins are hard to come by.

    5G t-Mobile is 5-stars at our Site, it’s not listed as an option yet.

    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.

    Washington Park Campground

    Anacortes Camping

    Great medium size campground surrounded by saltwater, short trails, and grassy picnic areas. Great views of islands and sunsets. Boat launch with large paid parking area. Walking distance to Skyline Marina for a variety of ocean activities. We went on a whale tour and encountered atleast 10 Orcas. Campground can be muddy in some spots. Mostly reservations, 14 day in advance, but there a a few first come first serve sites. Some with water and electric. Motorhome, trailers and tents. Some spots looked like they could handle 40 foot rigs. A couple longer pull throughs. Very shelterd anthrough. Not much good for solar. Showers and restrooms.

    North Whidbey RV Park

    Clean, well organized RV Park for big rigs

    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. Picnic table at every site. Lovely location but it can be noisy due to proximity to road and navy jets. Overall a great place I will stay again.

    Rasar State Park Campground

    Spacious Getaway

    We just spent two nights cold weather camping here. It’s a beautiful quiet park with very spacious lots. There is not a lot to do besides hiking, but if you are looking for peace and quiet in the woods, this might be the ticket.

    Riverfront RV Park

    Inexpensive and great for a one night

    30 amp sites with water. Dump station was not on site. No showers but clean bathrooms. Traveling with friends and we were the only 2 RVs there except for a campground host. The host helped our friends replace a pin on a slide out.

    Lynden-Bellingham KOA

    Wonderful nearby campground

    We were dying to go on a quick camping trip. Lynden KOA was the perfect nearby campground. Tent sites in the back are rather dusty (no grass)… but then again we’re camping so who cares. Grassy sites are around the pond and book up quickly. Great Amenities…. Swimming pool, mini golf, arcade games, paddle boats. Lots of trees and shade!. I love how it’s tucked away and you forget your right in Lynden. Close enough to town for a bike ride or a run. Pet friendly

    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!

The region sits at the northwest corner of Washington state, approximately 15 miles south of the Canadian border. Most campgrounds in the area operate on gravel pads requiring leveling blocks, with varying degrees of privacy between sites.

What to do

Kayaking access: Thousand Trails La Conner offers water access with a beach area for launching kayaks and paddleboards. "We've camped here a couple times, and love it. Bathrooms are kept clean, mini golf is fun, and the walks to 'Lone Tree' at sunset are amazing," notes a camper who visits regularly.

Beach activities: The shallow waters at Beachside RV Park in Birch Bay provide warm-water swimming and beachcombing opportunities within walking distance. "Quiet in town and on the unbelievably warm waters of the shallow Birch Bay just across the street," reports one reviewer who appreciated the proximity to water activities.

Trail exploration: Some campgrounds feature small nature trails suitable for short walks and wildlife viewing. At Thousand Trails Birch Bay, campers mention enjoying "the pool and small nature trails around camp. There is a lot to do around town all within biking distance."

What campers like

Privacy features: The Cedars RV Resort in Ferndale receives positive feedback for its site layout. "I love the hedges between spots so you're not eating lunch at the table, staring at your neighbors sewer hose and power box," mentions one camper, highlighting the thoughtful separation between sites.

Clean facilities: Several campgrounds maintain well-kept bathrooms and shower facilities. At Bellingham RV Park, campers note that "registration process was super-easy. Park felt safe and restrooms, area around the RVs were all very clean and homey."

What you should know

Site variability: Site quality can differ dramatically within the same campground. At Thousand Trails Birch Bay, reviewers note significant differences between sections: "2 phases for RVs - phase 1 spots are so close you could very well 'spare a square' of TP to your neighbor. Phase 2 has a lot more room to spread out and it's nice."

Maintenance issues: Some campgrounds struggle with upkeep. At Thousand Trails La Conner, a camper observed: "Our last visit here there were many spaces where the electricity wasn't working and the dump station was out of order."

Reservation systems: Not all parks guarantee specific sites even with reservations. One camper warned about Thousand Trails Birch Bay: "First, they take reservations but do not reserve a spot for you; rv spots are first come first serve."

Campground layout: When camping with children, consider site proximity to facilities. Thousand Trails Mount Vernon offers "proximity sites next to the restrooms" that can be convenient for families with young children.

Tips from RVers

Leveling requirements: Many RVers mention needing leveling blocks at campgrounds throughout the region. Bellingham RV Park features "gravel pull-throughs with full hook-ups," but preparation for uneven sites is recommended.
