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.

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.

Lily Pond RV

12 RV Sites

Lily Pond RV in Qualicum Beach, BC, offers 12 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites are named for size and outlook: compact full-hookup, compact full-hookup pond view, deluxe full-hookup pond view, premium full-hookup, premium full-hookup forest edge, and premium full-hookup pond view. All carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and firewood cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. What makes this different is the property itself: Lily Pond sits on an 8.7-acre working aquatic farm, where the growing operation and the campground are genuinely integrated. The farm produces lettuce, basil, and Japanese koi from its spring-fed ponds, and the koi pond is part of the grounds guests walk through. Qualicum Beach sits on central Vancouver Island, with the beach, Heritage Forest, Milner Gardens & Woodland, and the Saturday farmers market all close. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Pond view sites are the ones to request, and twelve sites on the island books early.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Run with Alpacas Farm Stay

On 21 pastoral acres in Port Angeles, Washington—the gateway city to Olympic National Park on the north shore of the Olympic Peninsula—Run with Alpacas Farm Stay offers tent and car camping in open pastures and private lots alongside a working farm where alpacas, llamas, sheep, chickens, and ducks roam freely through the property and guests are invited each morning at 10 AM to help feed them. For travelers making the Olympic Peninsula pilgrimage and looking for an overnight experience with genuine character and warmth—something more personal than a campground and more authentically local than a hotel—the alpaca farm stay creates a base camp that combines farm life with Olympic Peninsula adventure in a way that is simply unavailable anywhere else in the region. Sites in the open pastures and private lots provide the flexibility of both community-oriented camping and more private options, with gravel cooking and seating areas, potable water, and accessible bathrooms at no extra charge. WiFi and device charging are available on-site, and the property's clean, well-maintained facilities reflect the care of owners who live on the farm and are deeply invested in every guest's experience. Private educational experiences with the alpacas and camelids are available by arrangement for guests who want a deeper behind-the-scenes look at the herd's personalities, health care, and the fiber production that runs from animal to yarn on the property. Guests are encouraged to bring thinly sliced apples and baby carrots to share during the morning feeding—a detail that immediately establishes the relationship between guest and animal that makes the farm stay memorable. Port Angeles sits on the Strait of Juan de Fuca across from Victoria, British Columbia, in Clallam County at the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula. The city serves as the primary gateway to Olympic National Park—one of the world's most biologically diverse temperate ecosystems—and the ferry connection to Victoria makes it simultaneously an international border crossing and a dramatic scenic gateway for travelers entering the Pacific Northwest from the south. The surrounding landscape of temperate rainforest, glacier-capped Olympic peaks, and the rocky Strait shoreline creates the visual and ecological character that makes the Olympic Peninsula one of Washington's most extraordinary regional environments. Olympic National Park, 30 minutes from the farm, encompasses 1,442 square miles of three distinct ecosystems: the glacier-capped Olympic Mountains with over 600 miles of hiking trails, the temperate rainforests of the Hoh, Quinault, and Queets River valleys where annual rainfall exceeds 140 inches and Sitka spruce grow to extraordinary dimensions, and 73 miles of wild Pacific coastline. Hurricane Ridge, accessible from Port Angeles, provides the most dramatic high-elevation views in the park and winter skiing access to the park's only downhill ski area. Sol Duc Hot Springs, Crescent Lake's milky glacial-fed waters, and the tide-pooled coast at Ruby Beach represent some of the park's most rewarding individual experiences within day-trip range. The farm stay operates throughout Washington's dry season from late spring through early fall, with the Olympic Peninsula's weather most cooperative from June through September. The morning animal feeding ritual and the farm's peaceful pastoral atmosphere make for a particularly restorative camp experience between ambitious Olympic Peninsula hiking days. The annual Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival in October celebrates the Peninsula's remarkable seafood tradition in Port Angeles. Book your pasture or private lot at Run with Alpacas Farm Stay and let the alpacas, the Olympics, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca combine into an Olympic Peninsula experience that is genuinely unlike anything else.

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.

Quileute Riverview RV Park

26 RV Sites

Quileute Riverview RV Park near Forks, WA, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. Every site is a river RV spot — back-in, carrying water, sewer, and electric, with a picnic table. A general store, firewood, laundry, and a bathhouse with showers are on the property, and pets are welcome. The 40-foot limit keeps this a mid-size-rig park, which suits the setting. The park is operated by the Quileute Nation and sits along the Quillayute River, embedded in a community whose people have lived on these rivers and this coast for generations. Guests come for the river, the quiet, and the proximity to the coast rather than a recreation program. Forks sits on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, surrounded by Olympic National Park — the Hoh Rain Forest inland, Rialto and First Beach on the Pacific, and some of the wettest, greenest country in the lower 48. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Summer on the peninsula is short and busy, so reserve ahead for July through September.

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.

Quileute Oceanside Resort

66 RV Sites

Quileute Oceanside Resort in La Push, Washington, offers 66 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year on the Pacific coast. Ocean RV spots sit directly above First Beach, with cabins, a marina, general store, and firewood on Quileute tribal land. Sixty-six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet. The single Ocean RV category is the point — every site is an ocean site, which is a claim almost no property on the Washington coast can make. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with a marina on the property. The beach carries the recreation. First Beach is the resort's front door — a broad crescent of dark sand backed by towering sea stacks, with Pacific swells arriving from an uninterrupted ocean horizon. Picnicking runs on the grounds, and Olympic National Park is immediately adjacent. Pets are welcome. State Route 110 ends here, where the road runs out and the Pacific takes over. La Push sits on a narrow strip of Quileute tribal land flanked by wilderness coast and the rushing Quillayute River, and the resort is owned and operated by the Quileute Tribe — which means staying here supports the community whose land it is. Rialto Beach, the Hoh Rain Forest, and the Olympic wilderness coast are all close. Summer is the driest and busiest season on the Olympic Peninsula, though winter storm watching draws its own following. Reserve well ahead for July through September.
