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.

Dawley's Solduc River Campground

34 Tent Sites

Dawley's Sol Duc River Campground in Beaver, WA, offers riverside campsites and 34 tent sites, with a picnic table, grill, and table umbrella at every site. Sites are back-ins, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Each comes with a fire pit and barbecue. Be clear on what this is before booking: these are $35-a-night riverbank campsites rather than a full-hookup RV park, so come self-contained and confirm what service your site has when you reserve. Firewood is available and pets are welcome. The Sol Duc runs along the property with a boat ramp, walking trails, and river access for fishing, swimming, kayaking, boating, birding, and picnicking. The night sky here is genuinely dark. Beaver sits in the Clallam County wilderness of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, on the Sol Duc River — one of the most diverse and accessible wilderness corridors in the Pacific Northwest, with Olympic National Park, the coast, and Lake Crescent all within reach. Wine tasting is nearby. Rates are posted at $35 per night. Confirm your site type and any hookups directly with the campground before you arrive.

Tahuya Adventure Resort

12 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites, 6 Glamping Sites

Tahuya Adventure Resort in Belfair, Washington, offers 12 full-hookup pull-through RV sites, six tent sites, and six glamping sites at the southern tip of Hood Canal, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 58 feet. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with cabins, a recreation center, pavilion, and dump station. Twelve sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 58 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One consistent spec and no guesswork. Six tent sites, six glamping tents — equipped with pellet stoves, microwaves, and refrigerators — and cabins round out an unusually varied lodging mix for a property this size. A dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a pavilion handle the practical side. A recreation center and pavilion fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Boating, offroading, and a golf course are nearby, and the property operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. The glamping tents with pellet stoves are worth noting — heated canvas in the Pacific Northwest extends the usable season well past what unheated glamping allows. Mason County sits on the Kitsap Peninsula where the Olympic Mountains meet Hood Canal, a 65-mile fjord that is one of Puget Sound's most distinctive waterways and produces much of the region's oysters and shellfish. Twanoh State Park, the Tahuya State Forest's extensive ORV trail network, and Gold Mountain are all close, with Olympic National Park a reasonable drive west. Summer is peak in the Pacific Northwest. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

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.

Margie's Riverside RV Park

34 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Margie's Riverside RV Park in Riverside, Washington, offers 34 full-hookup RV sites and five tent sites on the Okanogan River, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. All RV sites are pull-through — a real convenience for travelers on the State Route 20 corridor — with laundry, showers, and a community fire pit on site. Thirty-four pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 40 feet, in full-hookup and water-and-electric configurations. Five tent sites cover simpler camping. Restrooms, showers, laundry, and WiFi handle longer stays. Two vehicles are permitted per site; additional vehicles are charged $5 per night on arrival. Note the 40-foot limit and 30-amp service before booking a larger rig. The river frontage is the setting. A community fire pit anchors the evenings, horseshoes fill the on-site recreation, and boating is available nearby. This is a quiet riverside park rather than a resort — the cottonwood gallery forest along the bank and the sound of moving water are the amenities. Pets are welcome. Riverside sits in the Okanogan Valley of north-central Washington, between the arid valley floor's apple and cherry orchards and the forested highlands of the Okanogan National Forest. The State Route 20 North Cascades Highway corridor runs from here into the mountains, and the Methow Valley's outdoor recreation programming is accessible along the river corridor. The park serves both through-travelers on the North Cascades route and guests staying for the valley's orchard season and outdoor recreation. Summer is peak, and the North Cascades Highway's seasonal closure shapes traffic — check the pass status when planning a shoulder-season trip.

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.
