Glen Ayr Resort

35 RV Sites

Glen Ayr Resort in Hoodsport, WA, offers 35 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in four categories — standard back-in, back-in 30/50-amp, deluxe back-in, and pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a clubhouse cover the essentials, with a waterfront hotel and cabins on the property for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome. The waterfront is the reason to book: the resort holds a long stretch of private low-bank frontage on Hood Canal, with a fishing pier, boat docks, a beach, and walking trails, plus an outdoor pool, a spa, and a hot tub and sauna. Hoodsport sits on Hood Canal, one of the most biologically extraordinary marine inlets in North America, at the eastern edge of Olympic National Park. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Shrimp season and summer on the canal both fill the resort — reserve ahead.

West Beach Resort

11 RV Sites, 21 Cabins, 10 Tent Sites, 9 Glamping Sites

West Beach Resort on Orcas Island, Washington, offers 11 RV sites, 21 cabins, 10 tent sites, and nine glamping sites on the island's rocky western shore, with 30-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 30 feet. A single 30-amp back-in category joins a marina, boat ramp, kayak rentals, hot tub, spa, and beach. Eleven back-in sites carry water and electric on 30-amp with site WiFi, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Two things to plan around carefully: the 30-foot cap rules out most modern coaches, so this suits vans and small trailers, and the sites carry water and electric rather than sewer — use the dump station. Twenty-one cabins, 10 tent sites, and nine glamping sites make this predominantly a cabin and tent property. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, a snack bar, and a bar handle the practical side. A marina, boat ramp, boat docks, boat rentals, kayak rentals, and a fishing pier open the water for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. A hot tub and sauna, spa, craft room, sports courts, volleyball, ping pong, horseshoes, walking trails, playground, and pond fill the rest, with exceptional birding and a state park nearby. Getting here: from I-5, take exit 230 for the San Juan Islands, follow Highway 20 west to the Anacortes ferry terminal, then sail to Orcas. Orcas is the largest of the San Juans and consistently tops Pacific Northwest island rankings. Summer is the season. Reserve as early as you can, and book the ferry too.

Cougar RV Park & Campground

27 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

Cougar RV Park & Campground in Cougar, Washington, offers 27 RV sites, five cabins, and three tent sites at the base of Mount St. Helens on the Lewis River's Yale Reservoir, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup pull-throughs join water-and-electric back-ins in a forested mountain setting. Twenty-seven sites run in water-and-electric back-in and full-hookup pull-through categories carrying 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. Five cabins and three tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. All types of RVs are welcome — the park answers questions directly at [email protected]. Pets are welcome. A pavilion fills the grounds, with fishing, birding, and planned activities from the property. Snowboarding, off-roading, and boating are all nearby. The position is genuinely dramatic. The campground sits directly on the south flank of Mount St. Helens — the active stratovolcano that reshaped southwest Washington on May 18, 1980, and has since become one of the most actively studied volcanic environments in the world. The Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, the Ape Cave lava tube, and the Lewis River system's fishing and water recreation are all immediately accessible. Summer is peak for monument access and the Lewis River. Reserve ahead for July and August weekends.

Tahuya Adventure Resort

12 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites, 6 Glamping Sites

Tahuya Adventure Resort in Belfair, Washington, offers 12 full-hookup pull-through RV sites, six tent sites, and six glamping sites at the southern tip of Hood Canal, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 58 feet. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with cabins, a recreation center, pavilion, and dump station. Twelve sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 58 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One consistent spec and no guesswork. Six tent sites, six glamping tents — equipped with pellet stoves, microwaves, and refrigerators — and cabins round out an unusually varied lodging mix for a property this size. A dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a pavilion handle the practical side. A recreation center and pavilion fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Boating, offroading, and a golf course are nearby, and the property operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. The glamping tents with pellet stoves are worth noting — heated canvas in the Pacific Northwest extends the usable season well past what unheated glamping allows. Mason County sits on the Kitsap Peninsula where the Olympic Mountains meet Hood Canal, a 65-mile fjord that is one of Puget Sound's most distinctive waterways and produces much of the region's oysters and shellfish. Twanoh State Park, the Tahuya State Forest's extensive ORV trail network, and Gold Mountain are all close, with Olympic National Park a reasonable drive west. Summer is peak in the Pacific Northwest. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

from $35/night

Granite Point Resort

Granite Point Resort occupies 28 acres of Loon Lake shoreline in eastern Washington's Stevens County, offering lakeside sites and accommodations with a beach, boat rentals, a general store, and on-site dining. A recreation center, game room, and sports courts round out a self-contained summer destination in the inland Northwest. Lakeside sites and accommodations serve guests across a range of formats. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. On-site dining covers meals, which matters at a resort where guests tend to settle in for a week rather than an overnight. The lake frontage carries the recreation. A beach gives direct swimming access, boat rentals put guests on the water, and boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats all run from the property. A recreation center and game room handle indoor hours, with sports courts, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, and horseshoes outdoors and a playground for families. The programming is well-rounded enough that guests rarely need to leave. Pets are welcome. Loon Lake sits in the ponderosa pine and mixed conifer country of northeastern Washington, among the clear glacially scoured lakes and quiet small towns of the inland Northwest — a summer retreat quite different in character from the Columbia River and Puget Sound destinations that draw the bulk of the state's visitors. The resort has built its reputation over many seasons as a family destination, and demand reflects that. Summer is decisively the peak, with returning families booking year to year — reserve well ahead for July and August.

Summerhill Farm

16 RV Sites

Summerhill Farm in Chelan, Washington, is a family-owned RV park on a working Chelan Valley farm, three miles up from downtown Chelan and about a five to seven minute drive from the lake. Sites take rigs up to 45 feet, and the Christensen family's agri-tourism orientation gives the property a working-landscape character that the lakefront RV parks below cannot offer. RV sites with electric hookups accommodate rigs to 45 feet, and a dump station is available on site. The access road climbs two hills from town with a couple of sharp turns — 45-foot fifth wheels and big rigs make it regularly, but drivers of low-clearance rigs or those carrying a rear box should take the grade slowly. From downtown Chelan the route runs up Bradley Street past the cemetery and rodeo grounds, roughly two miles, then about a mile further on. On-site facilities are straightforward rather than resort-scale: bathrooms and showers, a dump station, and walking trails through the farm property for guests who want to stretch their legs without driving anywhere. Boat rentals are available on site — a genuine convenience given how much of a Chelan visit happens on the water. Hiking access runs from the property directly. Pets are welcome. Lake Chelan stretches more than 50 miles into the eastern North Cascades and drops to nearly 1,500 feet, making it one of the deepest lakes in North America. Downtown Chelan's public beaches and boat launches are minutes below the farm, kokanee and lake trout sustain a year-round angling community, and the Lake Chelan wine appellation's tasting rooms are spread across the benchlands above the lake. Summerhill Farm operates through the Lake Chelan season, with summer the clear peak for lake recreation and the winery circuit. The spring Blossom Festival covers the benchland orchards in bloom, and the September–October harvest brings crush events across the valley. Reserve ahead for summer holiday weekends, when Chelan-area inventory tightens sharply across every property type.

Warden Lake RV Resort

23 RV Sites

Warden Lake RV Resort in Warden, Washington, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites on Warden Lake with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, behind a gated entrance. Interior and exterior back-in categories join boat docks, kayak rentals, and boat storage in the Columbia Basin's high desert. Twenty-three back-in sites run in interior and exterior categories carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Cabin rentals round out the accommodations. Laundry, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side, with a gated entrance controlling access — and boat storage matters at a lake property where most guests arrive towing. The lake carries the recreation. Boat docks and kayak rentals put guests on the water directly, with fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and water sports all running from the property. A clubhouse and game room cover indoor hours. Pets are welcome. Warden sits in Grant County along the Columbia Basin irrigation corridor that transformed the central Washington plateau from sagebrush dryland into one of North America's most productive farming regions. The surrounding country surprises most visitors — a high desert plateau interrupted by the extraordinary geological formations of the channeled scablands, with productive wildlife terrain throughout. The resort serves the central Washington season, with summer lake recreation and fishing driving the heaviest demand. With 23 sites on a quiet lake, reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

from $45/night

Elwha RV Park

51 RV Sites

Elwha RV Park in Port Angeles, Washington, offers 50 RV sites alongside the Elwha River, with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Seven distinct categories — including big rig and narrow pull-throughs, private back-ins, and pull-ins — sit behind a gated entrance, open all year at the gateway to Olympic National Park. Fifty sites span 30-amp water-and-electric back-ins, big rig 30/50-amp pull-throughs, narrow 30/50-amp pull-throughs, private and standard 30-amp back-ins, and pull-in sites, all carrying full hookups where noted, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Accessible sites are available. Cabins serve guests without a rig. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, dump station, RV storage, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a concierge handle the practical side, with WiFi and recycling throughout. The park is open year-round. On-site recreation is broad: a recreation center, clubhouse, pavilion, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, a playground, a pond, and bike rentals, with a community fire pit for evenings and live music through the season. Mountain biking, hiking, birding, and stargazing all run from the area, with skiing, snowboarding, boating, and a casino nearby. Pets are welcome. The Elwha is the site of the largest dam removal in US history — the 2012 removal of the Elwha and Glines Canyon Dams reopened 70 miles of salmon and steelhead habitat, and the river's recovery is ongoing. Olympic National Park's Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent, and the Hoh Rainforest are all within reach. Directions: from Port Angeles take US-101 west to the Highway 112 junction, follow 112 about half a mile to the sign, then left onto Lower Dam Road.

Cascade Marina & Resort

5 RV Sites

Cascade Marina & Resort in Moses Lake, WA, offers 5 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Every site is a full-hookup back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. The resort is rated big rig friendly within its 40-foot limit. Pets are welcome. One extra vehicle is allowed per site, with a nightly fee charged on arrival for each additional one. The marina is what sets this property apart: it's the only place on Moses Lake offering on-the-water gasoline, which makes it an anchor for boaters working this stretch of the Columbia Basin. Boat docks and a fishing pier put guests directly on the water for fishing, boating, swimming, and birding. Moses Lake sits in central Washington's Columbia Basin, and the resort is directly on the waterfront. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Five waterfront sites at the only fuel dock on the lake means summer books out early.

from $46/night

Margie's Riverside RV Park

34 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Margie's Riverside RV Park in Riverside, Washington, offers 34 full-hookup RV sites and five tent sites on the Okanogan River, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. All RV sites are pull-through — a real convenience for travelers on the State Route 20 corridor — with laundry, showers, and a community fire pit on site. Thirty-four pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 40 feet, in full-hookup and water-and-electric configurations. Five tent sites cover simpler camping. Restrooms, showers, laundry, and WiFi handle longer stays. Two vehicles are permitted per site; additional vehicles are charged $5 per night on arrival. Note the 40-foot limit and 30-amp service before booking a larger rig. The river frontage is the setting. A community fire pit anchors the evenings, horseshoes fill the on-site recreation, and boating is available nearby. This is a quiet riverside park rather than a resort — the cottonwood gallery forest along the bank and the sound of moving water are the amenities. Pets are welcome. Riverside sits in the Okanogan Valley of north-central Washington, between the arid valley floor's apple and cherry orchards and the forested highlands of the Okanogan National Forest. The State Route 20 North Cascades Highway corridor runs from here into the mountains, and the Methow Valley's outdoor recreation programming is accessible along the river corridor. The park serves both through-travelers on the North Cascades route and guests staying for the valley's orchard season and outdoor recreation. Summer is peak, and the North Cascades Highway's seasonal closure shapes traffic — check the pass status when planning a shoulder-season trip.

from $25/night

Alpine Lakes Lodge

30 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites

Alpine Lakes Lodge in Easton, WA, offers 30 RV sites, 7 cabins, and 8 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites come in three types — water-and-electric pull-thrus at 30-amp and 50-amp, and dry campsites. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Pull-thru layouts mean no unhitching. A bathhouse with showers, a recreation center, a pavilion, and a community fire pit cover the essentials, with cabins and a lodge that sleeps 14 for larger groups. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. ATVs and quads are not permitted on the property. A beach, a fishing pier, boat docks, a pond, and lake access support swimming, boating, paddling, paddle boats, and fishing, with walking trails, hiking, and biking from the grounds. The lodge also hosts weddings. Easton sits near the crest of Snoqualmie Pass in Kittitas County, on the John Wayne Pioneer Trail, with off-road trails and a national park within reach. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Pass-season weekends fill fast in both summer and winter.
