We camped here this summer after launching our kayaks from Anacortes and really enjoyed the stay in…read morethis remote and uncrowded camping ground. After kayaking in on a Friday night there wasn't a lot of space on the hill so we had to settle for the beach which was a bit windy but still nice. Most people had traveled by boat and brought more things but we kept it pretty light. Saturday morning a large group left opening up a site with great views for us to snag and it was beautiful waking up to such a lovely sight. There are two locations with composte toilets, sites with picnic tables and fire pits. No water access so pack your own and there's lots of mice so be sure to have a way to store your food. Also please make sure and pack out whatever you pack in as there are no garbage facilities or regular maintenance and we want to keep the mousey home nice, yah know?! When not gawking at the view there's lots to do on Cypress Island. We did a 5 mile out and back up to a little pond and airfield, there's a protected bay for swimming and paddle boarding, and lots of wild life to see. We watched eagles, sea otters, dolphins, sea lions, and tons of birds..and of course the mousies, while we visited. Lovely spot!

Wow! We've been wanting to try this literally brand new RV park recently added by the Port of…read moreAnacortes, and we weren't disappointed. Featuring 25 full hookup sites, each professionally landscaped and with its own picnic table, the sites here are large, level, and you don't feel like you're right on top of your neighbors. Most of the sites were back-in, but there are a few pull-through sites too. The on-site bathroom is not only one of the nicest campground restrooms I've ever visited, it's one the nicest restrooms I've ever visited in general. There's also a small coin-op laundry area, utility sink, and even a water bottle filling area inside. The park was clean and quiet during our two night visit. It's also just a few minutes walk (or a level bike ride) to several restaurants and grocery stores. We will definitely be adding this to our regular weekend getaway rotation! I definitely recommend getting a reservation, as the park appeared completely full this weekend.

We stayed for three (3) nights and every night we wanted to stream something and relax but it was so frustrating that we just gave up. This place needs to update their band width or research what the exact problem is. After a nice long day of enjoying everything this RV park has to offer, one wants to relax and chill by streaming a program or movie, but this internet makes it impossible.

The best time to come is during midweek before it starts getting busy…read more We came with a group of four for our first San Juan /shrimping expedition. Our campsite was right along the edge next to the beach, it overlooked the whole bay. You'll need to get there early in order to dock your boat. We beached it on nights two and three because it got so crowded. Fire pits for your campfires and plenty of firewood from the forest and drift wood from the beach. Lots of seashells, but not many starfish or marine life. An occasional seal or sea otter swimming around. Lots of birds, eagles, a goldfinch, and a pileated woodpecker. The bathrooms were great, compostable toilets, nice tile floors, and windows to look out from. Nice and clean. A ranger even stopped by to clean them while we were there for four days. It's a short hike from the bay to raccoon island campground. Loved the campground, would highly recommend to come during the week !

I'll admit it, I was flattered when the State of Washington approached about naming their next park…read moreafter me. Humbled, I declined their generous proposition. Well, apparently they found an alternative Jones after which to name their island. Reachable only by watercraft, Jones is a true gem of the beautiful San Juans. I've been there twice now for day trips, but I'd love to set up camp there for a week or more of sheer PNW bliss. This rustic isle features tent sites and even some pre-built shelters in case you forgot to stop at REI on the way. There are pit toilets and trails as well. And the views across beaches and waterways...well they're just magical. If I ever actually buy a boat, Jones will be my first stop. Even if it's not technically named after me.

OMG this place is out of my expectation! There are cats and deer and sheep!…read more We booked this campsite on the same day we arrived on Lopez island, kind of hectic but everything worked out well. It's only a 5 minute drive from the ferry, very convenient and easy to access. Even though our campsite 11 was the one closest to the road, but after dark it wasn't noisy at all, until half past six in the morning when visitors are coming from the ferry again. I slept well here. The ground was dry and clean, there weren't slugs sprawled on the tarp like butter spread on bread the next morning. The picnic table and two Adirondack chairs were in good condition, so we didn't use our camping chairs at all. There were several clean bathrooms with hot water and hair dryers in the campground, this is really a bonus for me when it comes to summer camping. I spent some time playing with the two lovely farm cats, Nori (the short tail) and Kombu (the long tail). Both of them are kind of aloof, not the most affectionate ones, but you know, they are cats and that' why we love them. I'd say the price for tent camping was slightly higher than Odlin Park's, but based on my experience and the campsite quality, I think it was totally worth it.

La Conner Marina is a great place for boaters and visitors…read more The marina features extensive covered moorage on 8 docks, two large guest docks, clean and comfortable restrooms, large laundry facility, two pumpout machines (one on each guest dock) and expensive outdoor/lawn/picnic space. Most of the slips feature finger piers on both sides of the boat, making this a very desirable location for covered moorage. As such, expect a long waitlist that could have you waiting for two or three years. Plenty of parking even when they host large events like the 4th of July celebration. Staff is friendly, courteous and very responsive to inquiries and issues. I haven't reviewed the RV park, as I haven't stayed there, but as a casual observer, the park is clean, reasonably lit without being too bright, close to the restrooms and laundry, and a short walk from town.

The first weekend was last summer, and the second one was this past weekend when we "glamped" there to once again meet up with friends who were docked at the marina for the weekend. The RV park is definitely no frills. The sites are close together, the trees are few and far between, and the sites don't include picnic tables or firepits. But they are all full-hookup, the park is well maintained and quiet, and you can't beat the sweet streets of downtown La Conner being just a quick walk (or even quicker drive) down the street. There's also a bathhouse with toilets and showers, all of which were immaculately clean. (You can get the door code from the campground host at RV Site #1.)
