San Juan Wilderness

Absolutely incredible place to camp, especially if you hike/bike/kayak in! Staff was incredibly helpful and did regular drive throughs to make sure things were all good. The hiker/biker campsites, which are not reservable, get you the closest to the water. There is drinking water by the office, two different bathroom locations, and fire pits at every site. Head down the set of stairs right off the... Absolutely incredible place to camp, especially if you hike/bike/kayak in! Staff was incredibly helpful and did regular drive throughs to make sure things were all good. The hiker/biker campsites, which are not reservable, get you the closest to the water. There is drinking water by the office, two different bathroom locations, and fire pits at every site. Head down the set of stairs right off the hiker/biker sites and you’ll find yourself at the most gorgeous little cove. The water is cold and crystal clear, great place to cool off so long as you can take the initial breathlessness. It was $11 for a biker site and you can pay with card

One of the best campsites in the PNW! Very quiet and safe for me, my 11 year old and our small dog. John the ranger was so helpful and friendly! We stayed a few nights in early November and will absolutely come again during the off season as it’s so peaceful. Got to see much sea life/wildlife (even a melanistic fox trotted by!). The view over Haro Straight toward Vancouver Island was absolutely st... One of the best campsites in the PNW! Very quiet and safe for me, my 11 year old and our small dog.

Got to see much sea life/wildlife (even a melanistic fox trotted by!). The view over Haro Straight toward Vancouver Island was absolutely stunning. Easy jaunt to Friday Harbor for provisions. No showers, but the restrooms were clean and even heated! Potable water was a plus. Super charming spot—we will absolutely be back!

Loved our experience at this campground! The check in process is simple and the rangers were helpful in making sure we knew where the beach access and walking trails are. We camped in August and there was a burn ban so only propane stoves were allowed. We didn't know that until we arrived with our firewood...so next time, I would call the campground to see if fires are allowed. We reserved cam... Loved our experience at this campground!

We camped in August and there was a burn ban so only propane stoves were allowed. We didn't know that until we arrived with our firewood...so next time, I would call the campground to see if fires are allowed. We reserved campsite 6 and 9 for our group and they were close to each other and they both had great views. Campsite 7 would be great if you want shade. Sunsets are perfect because it’s facing West. My sunset photo is from the overlook area at the campground. The campground had so many blackberry bushes so we would eat them all the time. There is a beach area, loading dock to launch kayaks, and fun walking trails along the cliffs. BUT our favorite part was that we saw orcas from the campground! Right when we arrived and were checking in, we looked out and saw orcas. So we kept watching them until we couldn't see them anymore and that was incredibly special. Reservation Process - When the campground reservations go on sale in the spring, the reservations fill up quickly. It was a bit tricky for me to reserve 2 sites for 2 nights each because I had to reserve each campsite separately which didn't guarantee that another site would be available the same nights. Ferry - the process to get your car reserved on the ferry is pretty simple so that made it great to get over to San Juan. We'd go camping here again!
