"Not especially private. It's nice, but I would prefer a spot that's a little more secluded. Benefits of this site are the facilities and the 15 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Super conveneient."
"Creek in the backyard, nice and secluded. Do have to bring tote up to bo w location. Great showers."
"Campground located on the ocean. Some full hook ups, cabins, club house. Most sites treed although an area of parking lot type spots as well."
"Limited full hook ups. Beautiful views of bay."
$35 / night
"We stayed in the overflow site directly next to the office with 20 amp electric only. Campground is well-maintained and very clean."
"We originally were going to stay for 2 weeks (but the Campground we were going to afterward was closed by corporate for electrical repairs) so the very nice park ranger, Linda, was able to extend our stay"
"Slots are nice and big, very few sewer sites. Close to the freeway. It’s convenient but you can definitely hear the freeway. It’s very safe and clean."
"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."
"Well kept large quiet park. Great dg waking areas; including a dog park. Some sites with trees for shade. Hookups work. "
$50 / night
"Very friendly host and security guard met us on our arrival as we got there around 845pm. Place is brand new. Facility is more like a 3 or 4 star hotel."
"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."
"We were leery of bringing our trailer onto the ferry for the first time, so we took the driving route via Deception Pass."
"With easy access to the beach and less than 30 minutes from all the amazing things whidbey island has to offer it makes Cliffside a unique and safe place to camp."
"Most rigs were large RVs, many looked like they were there for an extended stay (up to 30 days). There is also a tent-only area.
The setting is incredible right over a bluff overlooking the Sound. "
"Cute RV-only park not far from the Canadian border. Parking spots are pretty straight-forward, as it’s just a lot for RVs. Advanced reservations are highly recommended. No tent camping available."
"Park felt safe and restrooms, area around the RVs were all very clean and homey."
"Full 50 amp hookups, gravel pull through spaces. It is quiet here even though the train comes by every evening at idle speed. Our diesel trucks are louder than the train."
LegendJust 20 minutes from Mount Vernon/Burlington, near the water front/slough. Small campsites (some really tiny) with picnic tables, pit toilets and potable water. Some sites have a water view, but most are tucked away in the trees. Walking path along slough is nice, but short. A bit overpriced for what you get. Cost=$25-35
ScoutNice 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.
ScoutThis is very much an RV park and not really a campground. Seems like a clean little park, but right in the middle of Lynnwood, so if you are looking for a rural setting this isn't for you.
They offer weekly and monthly rentals, so this is more of a long-term sort of place.

TravelerI 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.
TravelerGreat 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.
GuideIt had been 15 years at least since I'd been to Jim Creek. Since then, they've done some nice upgrades. 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. The rv park is close to the recreation office that has a little gift shop with snacks and drinks. This is also where you can rent equipment such as bikes, fishing poles, boats, etc. They also have a movie theater upstairs that operates on Saturday. This building has a 24 hour lounge with free wifi, TV, dvds, books, markers, coloring books, games, and other things for visitors to use. The wifi was only supposed to work inside the building, but I could pick it up in my campsite once or twice during our stay. Verizon cell service is very spotty. When I did pick it up, I only had one bar. There are several hiking trails and you can drive about 5 miles back to Twin Lakes to fish or just take a rented boat out or just enjoy the view. Jim Creek is a Naval Radio station and is for active duty military, retired, DoD, and reserves. There is a gate and you must show id to get in. 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.
LegendWonderful 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.
RangerSince the reservation system does not allow same day reservations, we showed up hoping to grab one of the few available sights as first come, first served. There were 3 or 4 sites listed as available in the lower campground and we found one that was perfect for us. We had the choice between a full hook up site and a dry site and chose the latter as it was perfectly level and offered more privacy.
It’s interesting to note the different pricing levels from ‘popular’ to basic. Some sites were tightly packed and others were absolutely enormous with great views. Our site, 105, had a very tight neighboring spot on just one side (a no show which gave us a much roomier feeling) and an ample area with picnic table, fire pit, and enough room for two tents behind the pad. A short trail, albeit somewhat overgrown, at the back of our site lead right to the beach.
The campground, while quite full, was incredibly quiet. I’m sure things are different in the summer time with more families camping. The hosts and maintenance folks were all very friendly.
Perhaps my favorite part of this campground is the location with miles of beach to walk. I was surprised that with our frequent strolls on the beach with the pups, we only passed a small number of people.
The dump station worked as expected and had potable water available.
ScoutWe 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.
