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.

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.

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.

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.

68 RV Sites, 22 Cabins

Harmony Lakeside RV & Cabins Resort in Silver Creek, WA, offers 68 full-hookup RV sites and 22 cabins, with 30 and 50-amp service.

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. Contact the resort for site count and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here — worth a call before booking a long coach. 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.

Riffe Lake Campground

35 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 13 Tent Sites

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.

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.

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.

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.

Echoes of The Sea

7 RV Sites

Echoes of The Sea in Copalis Beach, WA, offers 7 RV sites with 20 and 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites are back-ins carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Note the electrical: service is 20 and 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. A bathhouse with showers, a community fire pit, and cabins cover the rest. Pets are welcome. Beach access is the whole proposition — seven sites and direct coastal frontage, with swimming and fishing from the property. Copalis Beach sits at 3208 State Route 109 between Ocean Shores and the artist community of Seabrook, on the Olympic Peninsula's Pacific coast. Razor clam digging, the grey whale migration offshore, and surf perch fishing from the beach set the local calendar, with the Quinault Rainforest inland. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Razor clam dig weekends fill the coast — check the season dates and reserve as early as you can.

from $45/night

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.
