"We set up camp and had our dinner on the beach to watch an incredible sunset!
our drive-up site was great, well maintained with bathrooms nearby.
Wish we could’ve stayed longer!"
"The lots are pretty close together but it has everything you need--large picnic table, fire pit with grill, parking, and a good area for your tent."
$12 - $40 / night
"Lets start with the downsides: reserve early as it fills up quick for summer, during the summer there are burn bans and you will need a propane fire pit or no fire at all, the jet noise can be overwhelming"
"Overall the campgrounds are well maintained and the bathrooms were always well stocked. It is a popular campground for families, with kiddos riding bikes and running around."
"Each site comes with a nice canvas tent, queen size bed, dresser, big chairs to sit by the firepit with basic amenities - coffee - water etc provided."
"I like site 17 because we had a neighbor on one side of us but a lake and hilly woods area on the other side so it felt more private."
$12 / night
"The vault toilet was clean and there was a composting area close to that. The campsites were large; we were able to fit 8 tents in two sites, and took over a third site for cooking and eating."
"The best part of camping on Stuart Island is the walk up to the Turn Point Lighthouse. Along the way you can visit a small museum, the island's library, and an old one room schoolhouse."
"Luxury of having power and a bed. Definitely not a nature getaway. The pool and amenities are great though."
"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 set up for a small park with small sites. There are trees between every camp spot to add privacy. Best part is that the restrooms are clean and the showers are free."
"Everyone’s so nice, good dog park, pool, and friendly staff. Little mini mart on site."
"The canvas cabins were a great solution to either traveling with gear or renting gear locally since we flew into the area."
"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."
"We spent two nights of lakeside bliss and refreshing swims in Cascade Lake."
ScoutWe stopped in for a few nights in mid September and this place was amazing. It was a mid week stay at the end of the season, so a very slow time to be there, which maybe made it better. There were minimal campers there and we really enjoyed having extra space and quiet. The canvas cabins were a great solution to either traveling with gear or renting gear locally since we flew into the area. When we arrived we found the cabin with everything we needed including firewood with matches and newspaper for lighting, a s’mores kit, and bed warmers (insulated rubber bags of boiling water). It was September and chilly at night, but the bed warmers worked well and the setup is designed to handle a cold night. Breakfast was included with the stay in the canvas cabins, and was a nice benefit. The food was good, and the staff was friendly. The grounds were clean and beautiful. There was a lot of wildlife on the grounds and fishing available on site. We will return again during future visits to SJI.
TravelerWe 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!
TravelerBeautiful place to camp! Lets start with the downsides: reserve early as it fills up quick for summer, during the summer there are burn bans and you will need a propane fire pit or no fire at all, the jet noise can be overwhelming and until the late hours of the night for someone who isn’t used to it, if you are tryIng to party at the campsIte the park rangers wIll come and tell you to be quite after quIte hours whIch Is 10pm. The great things about the park: beautiful place to camp, short walk to the water to dip your feet in the freezing water, beautiful views, quite, bathrooms are usually close and have runnIng water and hot showers for a small price, water spickets to clean dishes usually near by, a lake near by to fresh water fish and beach with shallow water for the kids to swim, overall great place to camp! Camped here a lot so pictures are from 3 different times.
LegendI 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!
TravelerWe just did a quick over-nighter here on our way back from CA. We set up camp and had our dinner on the beach to watch an incredible sunset!
our drive-up site was great, well maintained with bathrooms nearby.
Wish we could’ve stayed longer!
ScoutThe lots are pretty close together but it has everything you need--large picnic table, fire pit with grill, parking, and a good area for your tent. The hand driers in the bathroom are a bit annoying late at night but the facilities are nice and the beach nearby is absolutely beautiful! It's definitely off the beaten path, but worth it.
ScoutI have camped at Deception Pass multiple times. The campground has Ocean access and hiking access. Overall the campgrounds are well maintained and the bathrooms were always well stocked. It is a popular campground for families, with kiddos riding bikes and running around. It is a larger campground with sites that are a good size and semi-private, some sites offering more privacy than other. I have gone during July and August and most times there has been a fire ban. The campground offers propane fire pits for rent for a small fee. They do get rented up quickly so I recommend
not waiting and asking when you arrive. The site we stayed was not very private and the campers next to us played loud music most of the day and into the evening, however the camp host was dutiful in reminding campers to be courteous of fellow campers. The campground books up very quick so reserve early.
LegendGeneral: West Beach Resort offers a variety of accommodations from tent sites to water/electric sites to tent cabins to regular cabins. It is situated right on the water where you can enjoy ice cream, cocktails, and popcorn (popcorn is free) at sunset during the summer. Much about this resort is nice but at almost $80 per night for a campsite (water and electric), it is pricier than we are used to paying. However, there are limited options for camping on the island and it was high season when we were there. While Moran State Park is nice, there are no hookups, further reducing your options.
Site Quality: The water and electric sites have rock/gravel driveways. Some have trees separating them from others, but many do not have any separation/privacy between sites. All can accommodate a vehicle and RV and/or tent. Site 47 was nice as it had only tent sites on one side and a good amount of space on the other. You should be aware that for many of the sites (not 47), the hookups are on the “wrong” side, necessitating driving your RV in rather than backing in. This makes it challenging when it comes time to unhook and then re-hook when leaving the site, especially for larger rigs. The other challenge is that there is no dump station or sewer hookups. This was not an issue for us in our camper van but people in RVs should be aware of this.
Bathhouse: The women’s bathhouse was reasonable with three stalls, three sinks, and two showers. There was a bench at one end. Lighting was not quite sufficient, especially in the showers as I discovered when I took one at 8 pm one night! Also, the showers cost $.50 for 90 seconds. With the price of the campsite, it would have been nice to not have to pay extra for the showers.
Activities: Many activities are available, but all are on the pricey side (ex: a SUP rental for one hour is $25; kayak and whale watching and kayak tours cost over$100). You can bring your own toys and also fish from the dock. There is a small shop with gifts and sundries. There is a hot tub, but it comes with an extra cost. There is a small beach but not suitable for beach walks. Be aware that the ferry terminal if you want to explore other islands is about a 20-minute drive and the town of Eastsound is about three miles away. We rented bikes in town and rode back and forth but be aware that there are hills and sections of the road with narrow or no shoulder. Orcas Island Pottery is less than a mile(an easy walk) and a definite not-miss (closed on Mondays).
This was our fifth time in the San Juan Islands, and we enjoy the area very much. While we enjoyed our time at West Beach, considering the price, the extras costing additional, and some of the less desirable sites, it merited three instead of four stars in my opinion.
ScoutGreat set up for a small park with small sites. There are trees between every camp spot to add privacy. Best part is that the restrooms are clean and the showers are free. There is a store and a laundry also on site.
