Sun Retreats Birch Bay

271 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites, 5 Onsite RV/Trailers

Sun Retreats Birch Bay in Blaine, Washington, offers 276 full-hookup RV sites and 10 tent sites two miles from the Canadian border, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, open all year behind a gated entrance. Open and standard full-hookup back-in and pull-through categories join a pool, fitness center, disc golf course, and clubhouse. Two hundred seventy-six sites span full hookup back-in 50/30/20-amp, full hookup pull-thru 50/30/20-amp, open full hookup back-in 50/30/20-amp, and open full hookup pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. The open categories give more space and light for guests who prefer it to a treed site. Ten tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property was formerly Beachwood RV Resort. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fitness center, clubhouse, disc golf course, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, golf cart rentals, a playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Biking, fishing, swimming, and picnicking round it out, with a golf course and a state park nearby. Pets are welcome. Birch Bay sits at the northernmost edge of Whatcom County, where Semiahmoo Bay and the protected waters of Drayton Harbor make a marine environment of unusual beauty. Birch Bay State Park adjoins the resort, and Vancouver is a short drive north. Summer is decisively the season in the Pacific Northwest. Reserve well 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.

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.

Rondalyn Camping & RV Resort

30 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 1 Cottage

Rondalyn Camping & RV Resort in Ladysmith, BC, offers 30 full-hookup pull-thru RV sites and 6 cabin and cottage rentals, with 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in two full-service categories, standard and premium, each carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp resort throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management. The grounds are gated and open all year, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, RV storage, recycling, and a community fire pit. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, a spa, a clubhouse, a recreation center, a playground, basketball, horseshoes, walking trails, and creek and pond frontage fill the property, with swimming, fishing, hiking, and biking. Ladysmith sits on the Vancouver Island coast between Nanaimo and Duncan, in deeply wooded, creek-threaded country. The Trans Canada Trail, Haslam Creek Swimming Hole, Mindy's Suspension Bridge, and the Chemainus murals are all close. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Premium sites and the island summer both book early.

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.

RV@Olympic

92 RV Sites

RV@Olympic in Port Angeles, WA, offers 92 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in four categories — standard, premium, and luxury full-hookup back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric, plus water-and-electric partial-hookup back-ins. Each has a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. The park is rated big rig friendly. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a clubhouse, WiFi, and a playground cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Peak season runs May 1 through October 15, and the park takes bookings as far in advance as you'd like during those months. Walking trails, horseshoes, and genuinely dark peninsula sky for stargazing fill the grounds, with a beach nearby. Port Angeles sits at 191 Old Deer Park Road on the Olympic Peninsula's north shore, the gateway to Olympic National Park's three distinct ecosystems, across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Vancouver Island. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Peak season on the peninsula books out well ahead — reserve early for summer.

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.

Riverside Camping & RV Resort

100 RV Sites

Riverside Camping and RV Resort in Whistler, British Columbia, offers 100 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 51 feet, open all year — the only RV and camping resort within the Resort Municipality of Whistler. Voyageur full service categories at both amperages join partial service and multi-use tiers, with a disc golf course, mini-golf, and on-site dining. One hundred sites span Voyageur full service 30-amp, Voyageur full service 50-amp, Voyageur partial service, and Voyageur multi-use categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 51 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier before booking, as the partial service category does not carry the full hookup set. Cabins round out the lodging. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A disc golf course and mini-golf anchor the on-site recreation, with sports courts, volleyball, bocce ball, gem mining, walking trails, hiking, biking, a pond, lake, creek, playground, and on-site dining filling the rest. Skiing is minutes away. Pets are welcome. Being inside the municipality is the whole proposition. Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski resort in North America, and the same terrain becomes one of the continent's most complete summer adventure destinations — the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, the Peak-to-Peak Gondola, the Valley Trail, the Whistler Sliding Centre, Olympic Plaza, and the Trans Canada Trail are all reachable without a car. Both ski season and summer bike season drive hard demand. Reserve as far ahead as you can for December through March and July through September.

Westport RV Park & Motel

16 RV Sites, 11 Motel Rooms

Westport RV Park & Motel in Westport, WA, offers 16 full-hookup RV sites and 11 motel rooms, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 35 feet. Sites are individually numbered rather than tiered, which tells you the scale of the place — you book a specific spot, not a category. All carry water, sewer, and electric. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp park throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management, and the 35-foot maximum keeps it to smaller rigs. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills and exchange, and the motel rooms cover everything else. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, horseshoes, and a playground fill the grounds, with wide sandy beaches for beachcombing and kite flying, fishing and crabbing, and a state park nearby. Westport sits on Grays Harbor's outer coast — a working fishing town that has built its identity on the Pacific's commercial and sport fleets since the nineteenth century. Rates for sites and motel rooms are on the booking page. Salmon and razor clam seasons fill the park, so reserve ahead.

from $83/night

Whispering Pines RV Campground

71 RV Sites

Whispering Pines RV Campground in Cle Elum, Washington, offers 71 RV sites across 60 acres in the Cascade foothills, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 120 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. River back-in and full-hookup categories in both water-and-electric and water-electric-sewer versions join pull-through tiers, with a clubhouse, beach, and general store. Seventy-one sites span back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp, back-in water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp, pull-thru water-and-electric 30/50-amp, pull-thru water-electric-sewer 30/50-amp, and river back-in water-and-electric 30/50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 120 feet. The category names spell out exactly which utilities you get, which is unusually plain and genuinely useful. One hundred twenty feet accommodates anything on the road. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. A lake, pond, river, and beach support fishing and swimming, with a clubhouse, walking trails, playground, and dog park filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Directions: from westbound I-90 take Exit 84 and turn left at the stop sign, two-tenths of a mile to the park; from eastbound, Exit 84 then east on 1st Street to Oakes Avenue and right. The store runs 9am onward May through September. Cle Elum sits at the eastern approach to Snoqualmie Pass, where western Washington's evergreens give way to Kittitas County ponderosa. Summer is peak. Reserve well ahead.

from $57/night

Kenanna RV Resort

65 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Kenanna RV Resort in Grayland, Washington, offers 65 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and five cabins on the southern Washington coast, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet. Premium West and Standard East categories, both with buddy site options, mean no backing at any site, alongside a clubhouse, general store, walking trails, and dog park. Sixty-five sites are pull-through throughout, spanning Premium West 30-amp, Premium West 50-amp buddy, Standard East, and Standard East buddy categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. An all-pull-through layout at 70 feet is genuinely practical, and offering buddy sites in both the premium and standard tiers is unusual — two rigs traveling together can park side by side at either price point. Five cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A clubhouse, pavilion, walking trails, hiking, playground, and dog park fill the grounds, with boating nearby, a state park close, and genuinely productive birding along the shore. A casino is nearby. Pets are welcome. Grayland sits off State Highway 105 between Westport and the Long Beach Peninsula, on a broad stretch of sandy Pacific shoreline that remains one of the Pacific Northwest's most underappreciated coastal landscapes — cranberry bogs inland, razor clam digs on the beach, and Westport's charter fishing fleet just north. Summer is peak on the Washington coast, with razor clam season drawing off-season crowds. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

Gallagher Lake Camping & RV Resort

89 RV Sites, 11 Cabins

Gallagher Lake Camping and RV Resort in Oliver, British Columbia, offers 89 RV sites and 11 cabins on a spring-fed lake in the South Okanagan, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 83 feet, open all year. Voyageur full service categories — including cable and a no-pets option — join a partial service tier, with a private sandy beach and pickleball courts. Eighty-nine sites span Voyageur full service, Voyageur full service 50-amp, Voyageur full service with cable, Voyageur full service no pets allowed, and Voyageur partial service categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 83 feet. Two things worth knowing: the partial service category does not carry the full hookup set, and there is a dedicated no-pets section for guests with allergies or a preference for quiet. Eighty-three feet accommodates the longest coaches. Eleven cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and recycling handle the practical side. A private sandy beach on the spring-fed lake anchors the recreation, with sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, horseshoes, walking, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and picnicking filling the rest. Wine tasting and golf courses are close, along with Tickleberry's, the Golden Mile Fruit Market, and Vaseaux Lake. Oliver calls itself the Wine Capital of Canada, set in the only recognized desert ecosystem in the country. Summer and harvest drive demand. Reserve well ahead.
