Mountainaire Campground and RV Park

26 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 16 Tent Sites, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers

Mountainaire Campground and RV Park in Nanaimo, BC, offers 29 RV sites, 5 cabins, and 16 tent sites, with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 57 feet. Sites come in two categories, full-hookup back-in 30-amp carrying water, sewer, and electric, and water-and-electric back-in 30-amp, each with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Three on-site RV rentals are available for guests arriving without a rig. Note the electrical: service here is 30-amp throughout, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane fills and exchange, and on-site dining. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. An arcade, horseshoes, volleyball, a pond, and creek frontage fill the forested, mountain-backed grounds, with swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, biking, and planned activities. Nanaimo sits on Vancouver Island's east coast, the island's main ferry gateway from the mainland. Rates for sites, cabins, tent spots, and RV rentals are on the booking page. Full-service sites are limited and book first.

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.

Sheridan Lake Resort

15 RV Sites, 11 Cabins

Sheridan Lake Resort in Lone Butte, BC, offers 15 RV sites and 11 cabins, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites are back-ins carrying water and electric. There's no sewer at the site, so plan accordingly for a longer stay. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp throughout, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, and firewood cover the essentials, with eleven cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The lake is the reason to come: a boat ramp, boat docks, and boat and kayak rentals, plus a beach and walking trails, with fishing, boating, paddling, paddle boarding, paddle boats, and swimming. Skiing and snowboarding are nearby in winter. Lone Butte sits on Highway 24 in the South Cariboo's Interlakes District — a stretch of interior BC known widely as the Fishing Highway, and Sheridan Lake is one of its best-known waters. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Fifteen sites on a Fishing Highway lake means the season books early.

Tsawaak RV Resort and Campground

33 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 5 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Tsawaak RV Resort and Campground in Tofino, BC, offers 34 full-hookup RV sites, 9 cabins, and 5 tent sites, with 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 76 feet. Sites come as deluxe RV sites, deluxe pull-throughs, and a double site, plus a named RV rental for guests arriving without a rig. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Note the electrical: the resort runs 50-amp service, so a rig wired for lighter service will need an adapter. At 76 feet, though, the pull-throughs take a long coach — genuinely rare on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a boutique shop, propane fills, and a hot tub and sauna. Pets are welcome. A beach, lake access, and forest walking trails support swimming, fishing, paddling, hiking, and birding, with hot springs reachable by boat. Tsawaak opened in 2023 and is owned and operated by the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, minutes from Tofino's surf breaks and old-growth rainforest. Reaching it means a ferry to Vancouver Island and the highway across. Rates are on the booking page. Tofino's summer books out months ahead.

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.

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.

Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with cable TV, site-delivered WiFi, and a picnic table. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and firewood cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, with a dog park on the grounds. Recreation is built around the lake. Boat docks, a boat ramp, and boat rentals get guests onto the water for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and swimming, and the property adds a disc golf course, ball field, sport courts, horseshoes, volleyball, and a playground. A clubhouse handles indoor gatherings, and golf and wine tasting are nearby. The resort sits on Dragon Lake at the south edge of Quesnel in BC's Cariboo region, about 90 minutes south of Prince George. Rates for sites, tent spots, and rentals are on the booking page.
