    We have been going to Deception Pass State park for many years. We very much enjoy it- it is one of our go to areas for spur of the moment Spring weekends. Some of the roads that access spots can be a bit narrow but not impossible. Not all RV pads are dirt or “Forrest mix” (pine cones, needles, dirt, etc.). You are in the deep woods. Each site has a pinic table and fire ring. There are many families about and the kids usually someone to play with. Also, pretty beaches and trails to walk. Geocaching is in the park too. Back out at the highway there are 2 zippy marts with basics if you need them along with fuel. Grocery stores are in Anacortes.

    Nice views, lots of trees. Warning although they have pull throughs, the sites are all dirt. Also the roads are trails, dirt again, and not wide. Several turns to make it through. The rangers are helpful. I paid for two days, but with the rain, and the close quarters, I did not want to risk hitting a tree with my 28′ trailer. The bathrooms are spread out. No wifi, etc.

      Me and my family really enjoy Deception Pass State Park. You are correct, the roads into the campground can be tight in places. This was the first place we camped when we bought our 30 foot trailer. Talk about stress trying to back it into a space for the first time!
