North Whidbey RV Park

Stayed here a couple nights. Pros: Tidy, clean, well run place. Really convenient access to Deception Pass state park (across the street from its entrance) and to Anacortes and San Juan island ferries. Access to laundry (bring quarters, there’s no change machine, or make change while office is open). There’s a fenced dog play area. We were located on the side farther from Hwy 20, so minimal road noise for us.

Cons: The sites are really close together and most don’t have any privacy. There are plentiful street lamps within the campground that caused me to get up from bed and start hanging towels over windows to block the light. 

Didn’t hear the jets during our stay; with no tree cover they’d be louder than they were during our stay actually in the well-forested state park.

We had stopped in for a night on the way from Anacortes to OP Nat’l Park in order to check out Deception Pass and wish we had time for another night or two. Great park, super clean and well run.

We spent 4 nights here as a jumping-off point to explore Whidbey Island and a day trip to visit Orcas Island. We were leery of bringing our trailer onto the ferry for the first time, so we took the driving route via Deception Pass. The location is fantastic for access To Oak Harbor, Anacortes and Deception Pass State Park. We spent the weekend here with my sister and her family who rented one of the cabins at the RV Park.

The cabin was very simple, clean and had a well-stocked kitchen. They enjoyed their stay and it was a convenient way for all of us to spend more time together. We were in RV spot C-22 and it was quite a tight and unlevel location. The pavement on the grounds is not in great condition with lots of bumps and ditches, but we were able to finagle our trailer to a stable spot. Your neighbors are very close but the grounds are very quiet. The staff is immensely helpful and friendly. Our water spigot was leaking badly when we arrived and they had repaired it by the next morning.

The grounds aren’t ideal but the location to exploring Whidbey is well worth it. You are steps from the entry of Deception Pass State Park to find tons of hiking but if you venture right (directionally) out of the driveway from the RV Park, you’ll find the Cornet Bay side of the state park that offers quieter, lesser crowded trails and a different view of the bridge. I spent my evenings running through this side of the park and it was lovely with lots of wildlife and nearly complete solitude. Also, make sure you get to Greenbank Farms for some local cheeses and Whidbey Pies because nothing says post-hike refuel like Loganberry pie.
