Rhododendron Park & Campground

Currently $15/night. Beautiful wooded area with space between most sites. A couple Port-O-Potties and garbage cans. Half occupied or less on a Wednesday night. Next to a dog kennel or shelter, so there was quite a bit of barking when we arrived late afternoon, but was quiet when they were put in for the evening/night. Military jets flew back and forth for an hour starting at 8PM--these aren't normal airplane sounds. It's frighteningly LOUD. For a solid hour. Very faint road noise in the morning. So basically, don't expect peace and quiet if you visit... but it's a nice, cheap spot for a quick overnight while traveling through.

Sweet privacy

I had my eye on Rhododendron Campground, but checked at the State Parks on the way here. They were all packed full. I’m so glad this is where I ended up.

  • Much cheaper ($15/site)
  • Much smaller (15 sites total)
  • Excellent site placement & sense of privacy (I can’t see anyone from where we are)

Only a few words of caution:

  • It’s close to the road and I can hear the beep beep beep if construction vehicles.
  • It feels very coastal woodland, damp forest-y. I love it, but mention it in case of allergies.

Nice quiet 15 site campground

Beautiful tall semi old growth trees everywhere. The 15 sites are well maintained and form two loops around three portapotties. There appear to be other bathrooms but they were locked up. This place is the definition of a shady spot for pigmentally challenged white boys like me. There are a few sites the look large enough to host a good size group.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there free camping available at Rhododendron Campground?

No, Rhododendron Campground is not free. The camping fee is $15 per night per site. This is quite affordable compared to many state parks in the area, which tend to be more expensive and often fully booked. The reasonable price makes it an excellent value, especially considering the privacy and natural setting of the campground.

What amenities are available at Rhododendron Campground?

Rhododendron Campground offers basic amenities in a beautiful natural setting. The campground features porta-potties (at least three) and garbage cans throughout the camping area. While there appear to be permanent bathroom facilities, these may not always be open. The 15 campsites are well-maintained and arranged in two loops. The sites offer good privacy with ample space between them, and the entire campground is shaded by tall, semi-old growth trees. No hookups or shower facilities are mentioned, so come prepared for a more rustic camping experience.

Where is Rhododendron Campground located on Whidbey Island?

Rhododendron Campground is located on Whidbey Island in Washington state. The campground is situated in a wooded area that features beautiful tall trees providing excellent shade. It appears to be near a dog kennel or animal shelter. While the exact location coordinates aren't specified, it's worth noting that the campground may occasionally experience noise from nearby Navy planes doing touch-and-go exercises. Contact Island County Parks or check their official website for precise directions to this peaceful woodland retreat.

Can you bring RVs to Rhododendron Campground?

While Rhododendron Campground can accommodate some RVs, it's primarily designed for tent camping and smaller rigs. The campground's natural setting with tall trees may limit access for larger RVs. The 15 sites are arranged in loops and spaced well for privacy, but there are no hookups available. Consider the size of your RV carefully before planning your trip, and for larger rigs, you might want to contact the campground directly to confirm accessibility for your specific vehicle size.

Is there a map of Rhododendron Campground?

Official maps of Rhododendron Campground can be obtained from Island County Parks, which manages the property. The campground consists of 15 sites arranged in two loops around three porta-potties. For planning purposes, knowing that the sites are well-spaced with good privacy and surrounded by tall trees can help visualize the layout. Contact Island County Parks directly for the most current and detailed map of the campground to help with site selection and navigation.
