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.

Oceanside Camping & RV Resort

43 RV Sites

Oceanside Camping & RV Resort in Saanichton, British Columbia, offers 43 full-hookup RV sites on the Saanich Peninsula, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Voyageur Full Service categories in both 30A and 50A configurations sit on an award-winning beachside property open all year, 15 minutes from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal. Forty-three sites run in 30A and 50A Voyageur Full Service categories carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 80 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. Cabins round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, recycling, and a pet washing station handle the practical side — the amenity buildings are spotlessly clean and modern, and the year-round operation reflects southern Vancouver Island's mild climate. Walking trails run the property, with a community fire pit, sports courts, pickleball, shuffleboard, ping pong, a playground, and a dog park on the grounds. Swimming, biking, and birding run from the area, with a beach, boating, a golf course, and wineries nearby. Pets are welcome. The position is genuinely useful. Swartz Bay's BC Ferries terminal is 15 minutes away, Sidney 10, and Victoria 20 minutes south — which makes this practical for anyone arriving or departing by ferry. Butchart Gardens, the Victoria Butterfly Gardens, the BC Aviation Museum, Heritage Acres, the Lochside Regional Trail, and the Saanich Peninsula wineries are all close. Summer is decisively the season on Vancouver Island. Reserve well ahead.

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.

Cove RV Park & Country Store

Cove RV Park & Country Store in Brinnon, WA, offers full-hookup RV sites carrying water, sewer, and electric, with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table at each site. Sites are back-ins, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a pavilion, a community fire pit, and recycling cover the essentials. Contact the park for site count, amp service, and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here. A marina, a beach, creek frontage, walking trails, sport courts, basketball, and horseshoes fill the grounds, with fishing, boating, kayaking, swimming, hiking, and biking on Hood Canal — one of the most productive shellfish waters in the country. The park sits along a scenic stretch of US Highway 101 where the road hugs the western shore of Hood Canal between Quilcene and Brinnon, at the intersection of Olympic Peninsula wilderness and the canal itself. Wine tasting is nearby. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Shrimp and oyster seasons draw a crowd to this stretch — reserve ahead and call about your rig's fit.

from $32/night

Dawley's Solduc River Campground

34 Tent Sites

Dawley's Sol Duc River Campground in Beaver, WA, offers riverside campsites and 34 tent sites, with a picnic table, grill, and table umbrella at every site. Sites are back-ins, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Each comes with a fire pit and barbecue. Be clear on what this is before booking: these are $35-a-night riverbank campsites rather than a full-hookup RV park, so come self-contained and confirm what service your site has when you reserve. Firewood is available and pets are welcome. The Sol Duc runs along the property with a boat ramp, walking trails, and river access for fishing, swimming, kayaking, boating, birding, and picnicking. The night sky here is genuinely dark. Beaver sits in the Clallam County wilderness of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, on the Sol Duc River — one of the most diverse and accessible wilderness corridors in the Pacific Northwest, with Olympic National Park, the coast, and Lake Crescent all within reach. Wine tasting is nearby. Rates are posted at $35 per night. Confirm your site type and any hookups directly with the campground before you arrive.

from $20/night

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

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.

Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor

99 RV Sites, 8 Tent Sites

Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor in Washington offers 99 RV sites and eight tent sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups and rigs accepted to 75 feet, behind a gated entrance at the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula. Premium pull-through, premium back-in, and deluxe back-in categories join standard and water-and-electric tiers, with a pool, fitness center, and dog park. Ninety-nine sites span standard back-in, back-in water-and-electric, deluxe back-in, premium back-in, and premium pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet. Seventy-five feet is generous for the Puget Sound region and accommodates a long coach with a tow. Eight tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Cable service is temporarily unavailable during resort improvements, and staff can point you to local trails. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a fitness center, dog park, and gated entrance besides. Boating, fishing, swimming, biking, picnicking, and birding are all available locally. Pets are welcome. Gig Harbor is one of the most scenically and recreationally distinctive maritime communities in the Pacific Northwest — a working harbor in Pierce County on the southern Sound, with the Narrows Bridge connecting to Tacoma and the Olympic Peninsula opening to the west. Summer is decisively the season in western Washington, when the weather is reliable and the Olympic and Rainier corridors are at their best. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

from $22/night

Quileute Oceanside Resort

66 RV Sites

Quileute Oceanside Resort in La Push, Washington, offers 66 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year on the Pacific coast. Ocean RV spots sit directly above First Beach, with cabins, a marina, general store, and firewood on Quileute tribal land. Sixty-six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet. The single Ocean RV category is the point — every site is an ocean site, which is a claim almost no property on the Washington coast can make. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with a marina on the property. The beach carries the recreation. First Beach is the resort's front door — a broad crescent of dark sand backed by towering sea stacks, with Pacific swells arriving from an uninterrupted ocean horizon. Picnicking runs on the grounds, and Olympic National Park is immediately adjacent. Pets are welcome. State Route 110 ends here, where the road runs out and the Pacific takes over. La Push sits on a narrow strip of Quileute tribal land flanked by wilderness coast and the rushing Quillayute River, and the resort is owned and operated by the Quileute Tribe — which means staying here supports the community whose land it is. Rialto Beach, the Hoh Rain Forest, and the Olympic wilderness coast are all close. Summer is the driest and busiest season on the Olympic Peninsula, though winter storm watching draws its own following. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

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.

Lake Sena Campground at Circle 8 Ranch

49 RV Sites, 8 Tent Sites

Lake Sena Campground at Circle 8 Ranch in Cle Elum, Washington, offers 49 RV sites and eight tent sites across 70 acres of wooded and lakeside terrain, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Lakeside view back-ins join 30-amp and 50-amp categories at a working ranch turned camping destination. Forty-nine back-in sites carry water and electric on 30-amp and 50-amp service, sized to 75 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. The lakeside view category is worth requesting. Eight tent sites and cabins round out the accommodations. Restrooms, showers, portable toilets, and RV storage handle the practical side. The property's character is the draw. A 3,200-square-foot wooden dance hall anchors the grounds, with shade-dappled trails through the timber and a private lake with a sandy swimming area. A recreation center, walking trails, picnicking, swimming, and birding fill out the rest. This reflects the independent character of eastern Washington's agricultural communities rather than the corporate outdoor resort model, which is precisely why guests choose it. A golf course, river, and boating are nearby. Pets are welcome. Cle Elum sits at 651 Lund Lane in the Kittitas County foothills, where the eastern slope of the Cascades transitions to the drier, sunnier climate of the Columbia Plateau — reliably better weather than the west side. Summer is peak. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

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.
