Spencer Spit is one of the most popular campgrounds in the San Juan Islands and for good reason! There's lots of beach access and amazing views north, south, and west. The majority of the campsites are up a steep hill away from the water and the precious few sites along the water fill up fast (like 6 months in advance).

Whether you are arriving by boat and have to make the trek up to a campsite or arriving by car and have one of the beach sites, there are carts available to make the journey easier. If you are arriving by man or wind powered beachable watercraft there are also Cascade Marine Trail sites on the southern side of the spit.

There are kayak rentals available on site. The quaint village of Lopez is also a short bike or drive away. Hitchhiking is highly common and very acceptable on Lopez as well.
