Sun Outdoors Portland South

58 RV Sites

Sun Outdoors Portland South in Wilsonville, Oregon, offers 58 full-hookup RV sites across 45 wooded acres overlooking the Willamette Valley, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 66 feet, open all year. Premium full-hookup and standard back-in categories join an indoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, and clubhouse. Fifty-eight sites run in premium full hookup and standard back-in categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 66 feet. Two tiers keep booking simple, and 66 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property was formerly Pheasant Ridge RV Park. An indoor pool is the standout — genuinely valuable in the Pacific Northwest, where the swimming season is short and the rain is not. A hot tub and sauna sit alongside, with a fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, pavilion, playground, and dog park filling the rest. Wine and beer tasting is nearby. Pets are welcome. Forty-five wooded acres on the urban edge gives the resort a genuinely quiet setting while keeping the I-5 corridor minutes away — Portland is a short drive north, Salem south, and the Willamette Valley's Pinot Noir country begins immediately west, with dozens of tasting rooms within half an hour. The Willamette River, Champoeg State Park, and the Oregon Garden are all close. Summer is peak in the Pacific Northwest, when the valley is at its best and the wine country fills. Year-round operation and the indoor pool make the shoulder seasons genuinely viable. Reserve well ahead for July through September and for harvest.

Valley's Edge RV Park

5 RV Sites

Valley's Edge RV Park in Sheridan, Oregon, offers full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet, in the heart of Yamhill County wine country. Back-in and pull-through categories, a dog park, and a pet washing station serve travelers exploring the northern Willamette Valley. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, in back-in and pull-through configurations sized to 45 feet. This is a small property, so confirm availability rather than arriving on spec. Laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Long-term reservations require a phone call — the park asks all long-term residents to speak with them directly rather than booking online. Pets are welcome. A dog park and a pet washing station serve pets, and a creek runs near the property with swimming available in the area. The amenity set is deliberately practical; guests here are out touring wineries during the day. Sheridan sits in the foothills west of Salem where the Coast Range begins to rise against the valley floor, in one of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated wine regions. The genuine advantage is economic: winery-adjacent accommodations in Yamhill County command premium hotel rates, and full hookups at campground pricing in the same corridor is a combination that is difficult to replicate. The park serves the Willamette Valley season, with harvest and crush from September into October driving the heaviest demand alongside summer touring. Reserve ahead for harvest weekends, when Yamhill County lodging fills.

Hart's Camp

Tucked directly behind Pacific City Beach on the Oregon Coast, Hart's Camp occupies a premium position in one of the Oregon Coast's most scenically distinctive communities—with Haystack Rock, Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, and the Nestucca River estuary all accessible within a short walk from the camp's entrance gate. The property's identity as "a Noble House Experience" reflects a hospitality approach built on decades of RV travel traditions, combined with an expanded accommodation lineup that now spans 45-foot pull-through RV sites, Airstream trailers, rental cottages, cabins, and tent sites. The campground's lodging variety accommodates the full spectrum of coastal travelers—from longtime RV guests who return season after season to first-time visitors seeking an Airstream or cottage experience without towing a rig down the coast. The 45-foot pull-through sites were designed to welcome larger modern rigs, and the cottage and cabin options give groups flexibility in how they configure a multi-party coastal stay. The camp registration is located next to Doryland Pizza on the edge of the property, providing convenient access to one of Pacific City's most popular local restaurants. Pacific City Beach lies directly across the street, giving Hart's Camp guests the kind of immediate beach proximity that requires dedicated planning to replicate at most Oregon Coast campgrounds. Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, accessible by foot from the campground, encompasses the dramatic sandstone headland above Pacific City's beach, the large dune that towers over the cape, and the coastal trail network that provides elevated views of the offshore rock and the open Pacific. Tide pools along the cape and beach are productive for exploration during low-tide windows throughout the year. The surrounding Oregon Coast offers exceptional variety for active guests extending their stay beyond Pacific City. Surfing the beach break at Pacific City, kayaking the Nestucca estuary, and hiking the headlands along the Three Capes Scenic Route are among the most popular active pursuits in the area. Birding on the estuary and along the cape during migration periods adds another dimension to the natural experience, and the town of Lincoln City is a short drive south for additional dining, shopping, and cultural options. Hart's Camp operates as a year-round coastal destination, though summer months bring the heaviest demand for beachfront-adjacent camping on this stretch of the Oregon Coast. Reservations are strongly recommended for summer weekends and holiday periods, and the Airstream and cottage inventory tends to book earliest in the season. The combination of beach immediacy, diverse lodging options, and Cape Kiwanda's natural character makes Hart's Camp one of the more compelling multi-night destinations on the central Oregon Coast. The broader Three Capes Scenic Route, accessible from Pacific City, links Cape Kiwanda to Cape Lookout and Cape Meares along an 18-mile stretch of Oregon Coast headlands, beaches, and estuaries that represents one of the most scenically varied short drives on the entire Pacific Coast. The estuary at the mouth of the Nestucca River, directly adjacent to Pacific City, is one of the more productive birding locations on the central coast during migration periods.

Toutle River RV Resort

212 RV Sites, 21 Tent Sites

Toutle River RV Resort in Castle Rock, Washington, offers 212 full-hookup RV sites and 21 tent sites on the Toutle River, with 30 and 50-amp service in back-in, pull-in, and pull-through categories. A pool, hot tub, recreation center, and private river access sit 10 minutes from Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. Two hundred twelve sites run in RV back-in, RV pull-in, and RV pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp. Three straightforward categories keep booking simple. Twenty-one tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a recreation center, clubhouse, pavilion, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, a playground, dog park, and snack bar filling the grounds. Scenic trails run from the park down to the riverbank for fishing, wildlife viewing, or a quiet walk. Pets are welcome. The river position is the property's real asset. The lower Toutle canyon gives private access to the confluence with the Cowlitz, widely regarded as one of the premier fishing holes in Washington State, while the upper drainage leads directly to Mount St. Helens — the visitor center and the blast zone are 10 minutes from the entrance, which is as close as any full-service resort gets to the most consequential volcanic event in modern American history. Summer is peak in southwest Washington, with the steelhead and salmon runs drawing anglers in the shoulders. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Mayfield Lake Resort & Marina

21 Cabins, 7 Tent Sites, 10 Motel Rooms

Mayfield Lake Resort and Marina sits at the south end of Lake Mayfield in Mossyrock, Washington, a reservoir on the Cowlitz River in Lewis County where the lake's forested shoreline, calm water, and the proximity of two iconic Pacific Northwest volcanoes—Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens—combine to produce one of the more complete outdoor recreation bases in a region famous for its scenic density. The resort accommodates the full spectrum of accommodation from RV sites to cabins, cottages, and hotel rooms, and the on-site marina makes it a genuine boat-in option for guests arriving or departing by water. Large full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, water, and sewer are the foundation, expanded by cabins, cottage accommodations, and hotel-style rooms that allow mixed-party groups to combine RV and non-RV accommodation at a single property. A marina with boat launch and slips, seasonal restaurant, year-round convenience store, playground, covered pavilion, propane exchange, and Starlink WiFi provide the comprehensive service that a multi-day lake stay requires. Boat, kayak, and pedal boat rentals are available on-site, and the resort's recreational calendar includes swimming, waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, and freshwater fishing—a full water recreation inventory without leaving the property. Lake Mayfield occupies a reservoir basin where the Cowlitz River was impounded by Riffe Dam in the 1960s, creating a 2,200-acre lake backed by the forested ridges of the lower Cascade foothills. The lake's clear, cold water and undeveloped shoreline give it a character more reminiscent of alpine recreation lakes than the developed reservoir communities that typify lowland impoundments in the Pacific Northwest. Fishing on the lake targets smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rainbow trout, and the kokanee salmon that make reservoir fishing in the Cowlitz watershed productive across multiple species and techniques. Mount Rainier National Park, the most topographically dominant peak in the contiguous United States at 14,411 feet, is accessible for day trips that deliver the subalpine meadow hiking, wildflower displays, and glacier viewing that make it one of the most visited national parks in the Pacific Northwest. The White Pass Scenic Byway runs from Mossyrock through the park's corridor to Yakima, providing the route that delivers the most direct access from the resort to Rainier's southern and southwestern approaches. Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, about 45 minutes south, preserves the landscape of the 1980 eruption and the remarkable ecological recovery that has made it one of the most scientifically significant active volcanic landscapes in the world—the blast zone's regeneration is visible from the Johnston Ridge Observatory in one of the most striking before-and-after landscapes in North American natural history. Mayfield Lake Resort and Marina operates through the Pacific Northwest camping season, with the combination of lake activities and volcano day trips making it a genuinely complete outdoor recreation base from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The White Pass Ski Area provides winter recreation access for off-season visitors, and fall is one of the most rewarding times to visit with the Cowlitz watershed's big-leaf maple and vine maple turning gold and red across the forested ridges. Reservations for summer weekend stays should be secured well ahead given the resort's reputation and the limited lakefront accommodation in the Cowlitz corridor.

Riffe Lake Campground

35 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 13 Tent Sites

Riffe Lake Campground in Mossyrock, Washington, offers 35 RV sites, five cabins, and 13 tent sites on Riffe Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories join kayak rentals, walking trails, and a general store between two volcanoes. Thirty-five back-in sites run in 30-amp, 30/50-amp, 30-amp water-and-electric, and 50-amp water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Group sites and rustic sites supplement the main inventory. Five cabins and 13 tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The lake carries the recreation. Kayak rentals are available on site, with swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking from the shoreline. Walking trails, hiking, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, and a playground fill the grounds. The position is genuinely rare. This privately owned Lewis County property sits within striking distance of both Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens — a double-header of volcanic landmarks that is nearly impossible to match anywhere else in the continental United States. Guests can day-trip to one, then the other, from a single base on a scenic reservoir. Summer is decisively the season in the Cascades, when both mountain roads are reliably open and the lake is warm. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and check road status at both parks when planning shoulder-season stays.

Harmony Lakeside RV & Cabins Resort

68 RV Sites, 22 Cabins

Harmony Lakeside RV and Cabins Resort sits along Mayfield Lake on Washington 122 in Silver Creek, Cowlitz County—100 RV sites and a range of cabin accommodation on a reservoir lake positioned equidistant between Mount Rainier National Park and Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. This dual-volcano proximity is the defining geographical distinction of the property: both iconic Pacific Northwest peaks are accessible for day trips from the same lakeside campsite, giving Harmony Lakeside one of the most unusually complete natural attraction positions of any lake resort in southwest Washington. One hundred RV sites with full hookups in 20, 30, and 50-amp configurations accommodate the full range of modern RV sizes, alongside two tiers of cabin accommodation: camping cabins sleeping four with microwave, refrigerator, WiFi, TV, and bedding, and deluxe cabins with full kitchen and bath sleeping up to six guests. A swimming pool, boat docks, kayak, paddleboard, paddle boat, and canoe rentals, boat storage, WiFi, cable TV, and laundry provide the on-property water recreation and practical infrastructure. Dry-land activities include volleyball, horseshoes, giant chess, and badminton, and the playground covers children's recreation in a property where the water—both pool and lake—is the primary summer focus. Mayfield Lake, impounded by the Riffe Dam on the Cowlitz River, provides 2,200 acres of clear, cold water in a reservoir basin backed by the forested ridges of the lower Cascade foothills. Fishing on the lake targets kokanee salmon, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch across a water body whose undeveloped shoreline gives it a character more reminiscent of alpine lakes than of the more heavily developed reservoir communities that typify lowland impoundments in western Washington. The lake's calm, protected coves provide ideal conditions for beginning paddlers and families who want lake exploration at a pace that suits children. Mount Rainier National Park is accessible for day trips that deliver the subalpine meadow hiking, wildflower displays from late July through September, and glacier views that make the mountain's hiking season one of the most spectacular in the Pacific Northwest. The White Pass Scenic Byway connects Silver Creek to the mountain's corridor, passing through the Packwood Valley in a drive that transitions from agricultural lowland into the old-growth and subalpine terrain of the park's southern and southwestern approaches. Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument is in the opposite direction—the Spirit Lake Highway route to Johnston Ridge Observatory follows the Toutle River drainage through the blast zone in a landscape where the recovery from the 1980 eruption is both scientifically remarkable and visually arresting. Harmony Lakeside RV and Cabins Resort operates through the Pacific Northwest camping season, typically April through October, with the dual-park proximity driving demand from visitors who want a lake base for mountain day trips rather than camping within the national park units themselves. The water recreation on Mayfield Lake provides the afternoon wind-down after morning hikes at Rainier or St. Helens, and the cabin accommodation makes the resort accessible for family groups who want comfort alongside the outdoor recreation access that the Cowlitz corridor delivers.

Fisherman's Cove RV Park

45 RV Sites

Fisherman's Cove RV Park in Ilwaco, Washington, sits at the mouth of the Columbia River on the Long Beach Peninsula's southern tip, where the Pacific Ocean's most powerful river-ocean confluence creates the legendary bar fishing, the Cape Disappointment State Park's dramatic lighthouse-topped headlands, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition's western terminus in one of the Pacific Northwest coast's most historically significant and scenically compelling locations. Positioned in Pacific County where the Columbia's final miles before the Pacific deliver the combination of river, ocean, and estuary recreation that makes Ilwaco one of the premier salmon and sturgeon fishing communities on the West Coast, the park serves serious anglers and coastal recreation enthusiasts. The park provides full hookup RV sites alongside community recreation amenities: a beach for shoreline access, dog park, community fire pit, firewood including a free welcome bundle, pond, river and stream access, RV storage, laundry, showers, and Wi-Fi serve the practical and recreational needs of extended-stay guests and overnight coastal visitors. The pet-friendly atmosphere accommodates the beach dogs that Pacific Northwest coastal camping invariably involves, and the park's proximity to Ilwaco's commercial charter fleet makes it the natural base for guests whose visit centers on the Columbia River bar's famous salmon and halibut charter fishing that operates from the Ilwaco Boat Basin throughout the season. The Columbia River Bar—where the river's enormous freshwater discharge collides with the Pacific Ocean's swells and tidal currents—is one of the most challenging and dangerous navigational passages in the world, earning its historical designation as the Graveyard of the Pacific from the hundreds of vessels lost in the bar's breaking waves since maritime commerce began on the Columbia in the eighteenth century. The Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria, Oregon, just across the river via the Astoria-Megler Bridge, provides the most comprehensive interpretation of the bar's navigational history and the maritime culture of the Columbia's lower river communities. Cape Disappointment State Park, adjacent to Ilwaco, encompasses the historic Cape Disappointment Lighthouse—the oldest operating lighthouse on the West Coast, first lit in 1856—alongside the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center that marks the expedition's November 1805 arrival at the Pacific Ocean after 18 months of westward travel. The park's Waikiki Beach on the Columbia's south shore and the North Head Lighthouse on the Pacific's north-facing headland provide additional scenic and historical access within the state park's 1,882 protected acres. Fisherman's Cove RV Park operates year-round in Ilwaco's temperate maritime climate, with the salmon fishing season from April through October driving the most fishing-specific demand and the Chinook salmon runs in late summer and fall—when the Columbia's returning fish are largest and most sought—creating the peak reservation pressure for the Ilwaco charter and private boat fishing community. The Long Beach Peninsula's 28-mile ocean beach provides year-round walking, kite flying, and the razor clam harvest during the favorable negative tides that Washington's game department schedules periodically throughout the fall and winter. Cape Disappointment's hiking and lighthouse viewing are accessible across all seasons.

Sun Outdoors Bend

118 RV Sites

Sun Outdoors Bend in Bend, Oregon, offers 118 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 130 feet — the most generous length allowance in this tranche. Sites run in tiered Copper, Bronze, Gold, and Platinum categories, with a hot tub and sauna, fitness center, pickleball, and on-site dining in Central Oregon's high desert. One hundred eighteen sites span Copper water-and-electric, Bronze, Gold, and Platinum full-hookup, and full-hookup pull-through categories, all carrying 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 130 feet. The tiering makes it easy to match site quality to budget. A general store, propane fills and exchange, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, and a business center serves guests working remotely. Note that a resort fee applies. The property was formerly Crown Villa RV Resort. Amenities are resort-grade. A hot tub and sauna, fitness center, and clubhouse run year-round, with sports courts, pickleball, and tennis outdoors and on-site dining and a snack bar for meals. Walking trails and a dog park run the grounds along a creek, with live music and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Bend sits in Deschutes County at the Cascades' eastern edge, in what is arguably the outdoor recreation capital of the Pacific Northwest. Mount Bachelor's skiing and snowboarding, the Deschutes River's whitewater rafting and fly fishing, Smith Rock's world-class climbing, and the Cascade Lakes Highway all converge here. Summer carries the heaviest demand, with winter drawing skiers to a resort that stays open. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Rimrock Lake Resort

30 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

On Highway 12 at Rimrock Lake in Naches, Washington—12 miles east of White Pass Ski Area in the Tieton River canyon of Yakima County where the Cascades' eastern slope creates the transition landscape between the maritime-influenced western forests and the rain-shadow desert of the Columbia Plateau—Rimrock Lake Resort operates year-round with 27 campsites (12 full hookup sites, all with water and electric), two furnished cabins, a bare-bones cabin, a furnished condo and home rental, a boat ramp, a convenience store with propane, a diner, paddleboard and canoe rentals, laundry, showers, and the gasoline sales for boats, dirt bikes, and ATVs that the Tieton River canyon's motorized recreation demands in a resort whose Rimrock Lake position and White Pass proximity make it the four-season gateway for the skiing, boating, fishing, and Cascades hiking that the Naches corridor provides at the intersection of two of Washington's most rewarding recreational landscapes. Year-round operation is the differentiator here. The 12 full hookup sites with 30-amp electric, water, and sewer serve the RV camper alongside the partial hookup and the tent-capable non-hookup sites that fill the 27-position total—water and electric at every site provides the minimum comfort standard regardless of position. Furnished cabins with the kitchen and bedding amenities that the drive-to destination requires, the bare-bones cabin for the minimalist, and the furnished condo and home options accommodate the group and the extended-stay guest whose Rimrock Lake visit extends beyond a weekend. The boat ramp provides direct Rimrock Lake access for the powerboat and fishing boat, the paddleboard and canoe rentals serve the non-motorized water recreation guest, and the gasoline sales accommodate the full spectrum of motorized recreation that the Tieton canyon's ATV trails and the lake's power boating enable. The on-site diner and convenience store, with propane filling, handle the food and fuel logistics that a year-round mountain resort requires. Rimrock Lake—the Tieton Dam's reservoir on the Tieton River at 2,920 feet in the Cascade foothills—provides the 1,400-acre surface for the fishing, sailing, and the power boating that the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife manages for rainbow and German brown trout in the Tieton system. The lake's east Cascades position in the Yakima River watershed creates the clear-water, pine-and-fir-forested environment that the western Cascade lakes at lower elevation and higher precipitation share, with the rain-shadow drier character of the eastern slope producing clearer skies and more predictable summer weather than the west side's marine influence. White Pass Ski Area, 12 miles west on US-12, operates on the Cascades crest at 4,500 feet with 37 trails, 6 lifts, and a consistent Cascade snowpack that makes the White Pass area one of Washington's most reliably snow-covered ski destinations from December through March. The Chinook Pass corridor and the William O. Douglas Wilderness beyond create the summer hiking and wilderness access that the Cascades' most direct connection between the Yakima Valley and the Rainier-area peaks provides. Mount Rainier National Park, accessible via SH-410 through Chinook Pass or via US-12 to Packwood and the Stevens Canyon entrance, lies within 60 miles of the resort. Rimrock Lake Resort's year-round operation serves the White Pass skiing community from December through March, the spring fishing opener crowd in April when the Tieton's trout season begins, the boating and hiking season from May through September, and the fall hunting season in October when the Tieton canyon's elk and deer populations draw the eastern Washington hunting community to the resort. Reserve your site or cabin at Rimrock Lake Resort and let the Cascades' eastern-slope lake, the White Pass access, and the year-round mountain resort character of the Tieton canyon make Naches the Yakima-area base camp your Cascades itinerary requires.

Westport RV Park & Motel

16 RV Sites, 11 Motel Rooms

Westport RV Park and Motel sits in the heart of Westport, Washington, on Grays Harbor's outer coast—a fishing town on the Washington coast that has centered its identity on the commercial and sportfishing economy of the Pacific Ocean since the nineteenth century. The park's combination of full hookup RV sites and 12 renovated motel rooms gives it flexibility for mixed-party groups, and its large fish cleaning station is the telling amenity detail that reveals the campground's primary constituency: serious saltwater anglers who use Westport as the staging base for the Pacific's halibut, salmon, and bottomfish grounds. Full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections are complemented by an outdoor heated swimming pool, restrooms, hot showers, WiFi, and a dog park—an amenity set that serves both the fishing guests who arrive before dawn for charter departures and the families and couples who come for the broader Westport coastal experience. The 12 renovated motel rooms provide comfortable enclosed accommodation for guests without self-contained vehicles, and the propane fill and exchange service handles the practical refueling needs that extended camping stays on the coast generate. A picnic area with charcoal grills provides outdoor cooking infrastructure. The Westport Marina is a few minutes' walk, operating as one of the busiest recreational fishing ports on the Washington coast with charter boats departing daily from spring through fall for Chinook salmon, halibut, bottomfish, and Dungeness crab in the offshore Pacific grounds. Westport's charter fleet is one of the largest in Washington State, and the marina's fish cleaning facilities, seafood processing operations, and the commercial crabbing vessels that work the Grays Harbor bar give the waterfront an authentically working-port atmosphere that resort marinas rarely duplicate. Crab is available direct from the processors at the marina when the commercial Dungeness season is open. Twin Harbors State Park, south of Westport, provides the ocean beach access, sand dunes, and clamming beaches that complement the offshore fishing of the marina—the razor clam digging seasons on the outer Grays Harbor beaches are among the most popular shellfish harvest events on the Washington coast, drawing thousands of diggers from across the Pacific Northwest when WDFW opens the beaches during productive clam abundance periods. Westport Light State Park, a 212-acre natural site 10 minutes' walk from the campground, surrounds the 1898 Grays Harbor Lighthouse—the tallest lighthouse in Washington State and one of the more photogenic on the Pacific Coast—with a system of coastal dune trails above the jetty and ocean beach. Westport RV Park and Motel operates year-round in a climate where the Washington outer coast's Pacific exposure delivers the drama of winter storms, the abundant fishing of spring and summer, and the reliable September-October silvers (coho salmon) that provide some of the best light-tackle fishing on the Washington coast in the shoulder season. The ocean beach is three minutes by car, and the combination of fishing charter access, beach recreation, and the motel rooms for non-RV guests makes it a versatile base for the full range of Westport's coastal activities. Book well ahead for peak salmon season weekends when the charter fleet operates at full capacity.

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.
