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.

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.

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.

Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Pass-season weekends fill fast in both summer and winter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

21 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites, 10 Motel Rooms

Mayfield Lake Resort & Marina in Mossyrock, WA, offers full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp power, water, and sewer, alongside 31 cabin and motel rooms and 7 tent sites. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills and exchange, a recreation center, a pavilion, and WiFi cover the essentials, and the cabins and rooms give guests without a rig a place to stay.

The marina is the anchor: boat docks, a boat ramp, and direct lake access for boating, fishing, water sports, kayaking, and swimming, with a playground, horseshoes, and picnicking on the grounds. Mossyrock sits at the south end of Lake Mayfield, a Cowlitz River reservoir in Lewis County where a forested shoreline and calm water sit within view of two Pacific Northwest volcanoes — Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens. A state park is nearby, and skiing in winter. Rates for sites, cabins, rooms, and tent spots are on the booking page. Confirm your rig's fit when you reserve.

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.

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.

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.

The resort sits 45 minutes from the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument Visitor Center, in the volcanic landscape of southwest Washington where the still-active mountain dominates the eastern horizon and the lake's calm water and wooded shores make the foreground. Summer is peak in the Pacific Northwest. Reserve well ahead for July through September.
