North Whidbey Rv Park

Very close quarters… tough with two big rigs together AND the sound of freedom was definitely heard.

I gave 2 stars because the owner/​manager was very friendly. The park sits at a corner of 2 very busy roads. It is near the base and the jets fly, or practice take off, landing about every 5 – 10 minutes from 8am to 11pm. It is so loud you can’t talk or hear your TV. So, all day you have to stop… talking, or TV. You can’t use briquets to BBQ, need to use propane, or the BBQ they provide, which doesn’t really work. It wasn’t relaxing, and I wish we had been told about the planes before we booked. The sites are closer than they look on the photo and we could not open our canopy because the RV next to us was to close. Deception Pass is beautiful, the Island is beautiful. WiFi is really iffy, touch and go, mostly can’t load. We left a day early, after one night.

We camped here this past July and enjoyed our stay. The price was pleasantly surprising for a full hookup campsite in the middle of the summer. The campground has a great location, close to Deception Pass and just a short drive to Oak Harbor or across to Fidalgo Island. The campground was clean, each site had its own picnic table and fire ring, and our dogs loved the fenced in pet area. As other reviewers posted, the sites are small, but we’ve stayed at campgrounds with sites much smaller and close together. We have an 18′ travel trailer pulled by a Jeep Liberty so we were able to fit just fine. Our neighbors, on the other hand, had a bigger rig and had to correct a few times to get into their spot.

The park is clean and the spaces are very close to each other without much space to park your tow vehicle. The restrooms/​showers are clean, however there are only two male toilets for the entire park which are constantly occupied due to the tent camping in the park. The park advertizes wifi which is really a joke as each device you use needs an assigned user name and password. If you have a i-​phone and tablet as example only one of them will be able to connect to the wifi. Even when connected to the wifi, it is so slow many sites timeout and never load, such as Facebook. The park states on their advertizing to visit them on Facebook, no chance of that while in the park. The park sits next to a busy highway and there is constant noise due to traffic. We camped in a 5^th wheel and chose the park due it’s location to some places we wanted to visit, if back this way again we would look for another RV park to stay at.

We are camping there now. Now the PROs and CONs
PROs: Near Deception Pass, has full hook-​ups, clean, each site has fire pit
CONs: Sites close together, slow WiFi, mid-​August grass is yellow straw and dust is everywhere,
We stayed here to have a mixed tent/​5^th wheel family week. Tent sites back-​up to the road so not quiet, nor private; No refund to tent campers. Never saw anyone in tent sites, although perhaps they are used when Deception Pass State Park is full. If you are in the area, try Pioneer Trails RV (in near-​by Anacortes) where we spent 4 weeks this summer. Much better experience.

Small, cute, & quite. Great place for winter camping & it’s right across the street from the state park! We’ll be back for sure.

Small and cozy. Every pull in has a firepit and a picnic bench.
The bathroom and showers are clean and well maintained.
They sell firewood at the office for $ 5.00 a bundle.
