Author Topic: Best place to camp in the San Juan Islands?  (Read 9108 times)

We are planning a trip to the islands in August.  Where is the best place to camp that is accessible by ferry?

Also, which is better: Lakedale Resorts or West Beach Resorts?  We were thinking about staying in the canvas cabins...

The camping itself is quite similar between islands; so the "best" place to camp in the San Juan Islands would probably depend on what other attractions and activities you were interested in.  Each island has its own unique personality.  Do you plan on bringing your car to the islands?  What kinds of things are you interested in seeing?  I am contacting West beach resort and Lakedale Resort to see if they would like to contribute to the conversation.  How many days are you planning on staying in the islands?

Thanks for your question.  Lakedale is the largest and most beautiful private campsite in the San Juan Islands.  There are canvas cabin type structures elsewhere, but no one has the level of luxury camping that we have.  Our canvas cabins include a queen-sized pillow top mattress, dining table and 4 chairs, sofa sleeper or 2 inside lounge chairs, 2 adirondack outside chairs, and a firepit.

Pictures and more information can be found on our web site.  There are also standard, premium (extra large), and Lakeside camp sites as well.  I hope that this helps.
