Whidbey Island Campgrounds & Parks

We would like to introduce to you some of the awesome parks on beautiful Whidbey Island. Whidbey Island has parks for every interest and includes dry camping, partial and full hookups. Some with a water view and some in woodsy areas, you get to pick. We've included some other fun events and activities you may want to partake in while you are camping in the surrounding areas of the parks. Whidbey Island has some of the best dungeness crab, all types of clams, mussels, and fishing found anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, especially salmon.

If you ever decide to take a trip to Washington state, Whidbey Island should be on your list of places to visit. If you are going to come experience Whidbey be sure to do it during June through September, for the best weather. Fortunately we do not have as much rain as Seattle does because we are in a rain shadow, but we do have a few gray days. The temperature during those months is very mild and ranges from 60 to 80 degrees in the warmer months of July and August. Whidbey Island is approximately 2-1/2 hours drive north of Seattle.

It's a pretty drive that will bring you to Deception Pass Bridge, where your eyes will not be able to fully take in the spectacular views from the top of this bridge. Whidbey Island is approximately 50 miles in length and has many quaint small towns. The summers on Whidbey Island are so pleasurable and pleasant - as you will find out for yourself.

When you complete the drive all along Whidbey Island, you will reach the town of Clinton which is the southern most town. This is where you can take the Mukilteo ferry which will take you to Mukilteo on the mainland, and then onto I-5 towards Seattle. Those are the only two ways to drive onto Whidbey Island, unless you have your own boat or fly in on a small plane. There is a small air strip which allows small planes to come and go to Whidbey.
Our goal in this blog is to bring you as much information about our beautiful parks, areas of interest, events and other places to stay. Each article features a different park with a link to more information online for reservations and pricing. We hope you find it helpful. Happy camping to you all!

In the park you can walk to Cranberry lake, go for a swim in the warmer summer months or fish right off the edge of the lake. There is also a walking beach area where your view of the bridge is amazing. Take a picnic lunch and sit on the picnic tables and just have a fun day where the kids can play along the shoreline. You can also fish for salmon right off the shore under the bridge. This is an area where salmon are in abundance when the salmon are running.

At Deception Pass State Park you are close to Fidalgo Island which is just north of the bridge, yet just a few minutes drive to Oak Harbor. Whatever it is you decide to do at this park for relaxation and pleasure - it has it all.
