Quick getaway
Great view. Pretty quiet and only saw 6 vehicles drive by. Lots of bugs.

Lovely Campground, Needs Maintenance
This is a lovely campground but it's a bit crowded. Due to the landscape there isn't a lot of privacy. Site was clean when we arrived and other than a group down at the group site that was playing loud music at midnight, it was quiet and the staff are friendly. You can pay for firewood at a kiosk using cash or credit card and then call for delivery. The bathrooms needed attention. On a busy weekend, they should be cleaned multiple times per day. One shower was out of order and the other didn't have hot water. Other than that, it was a decent experience. The park is gorgeous.

New!
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. First time I was ever given a cookie at check in or where there were massage rooms available in the spa.

Close to ferry
The good: close to ferry. Nice hiking nearby (2.7 mile loop). The bad: washrooms didn’t seem clean. No hand soap in washrooms. One of two showers in the women’s room in the C-loop broken. Would choose Deception Pass State Park even though it is a longer drive to the ferry.
MarcoTravelerJefferson County Fairground Campground
Good in a pinch
Plenty of spots, but you need to reserve 3 hours before they close? We arrived with no reservation at 10pm and just parked and sorted everting out in the morning. Really just a grass lot, there were lots of vans, truck campers and people with tents by their vehicles set up. Nothing too fancy, seems like there are some bathrooms but we didn’t swing by. Spendy for what it was but it was what we needed.

Pretty mossy
The site was large and had a couple of cool amenities. It was nice to have tables at each site, but the paving made staking a tent impossible. Additionally, it was 20 a night for a fairly middle of nowhere site. Saw a bear while visiting.

Secluded forests
We stayed here and heard maybe 1 car the whole day/night. Granted, we found a pull off into the woods.
Patrick J.LegendSalish Trails Campground
Highway 101 close, about 100 yards away.
Checked in with the friendly folks. Escorted to our gravel, pull through site. Fairly level. Utilities worked well though I needed a sewer hose extension. The freeway is about a hundred yards away from the 50 amp pull through sites we were in. This section is the closest, hence all the noise day and at night. I had my white noise machine and fan on and I could still hear the trucks and all the drivers with their fart tube equipped sports car want-to-be's. Bring ear plugs. Rate was 90.00 plus a night, so a bit higher than the other 75.00 we have had in the last 4 weeks at other RV Parks. We did take a walk around. It was a bit quieter around the 30 amp RV sites, so you may want to plan for that and use your dog bone adapter if you have 50 amp service. I would rate this RV park a 3.5, but a 4.

Great place to relax
I feel lucky to have gotten to stay here as for the week of the 4th it's booked solid. Great camp sites all with power and water. The showers have great water pressure and hot water. I was kinda disappointed that they aren't a little more private but still got the job done.
