Best Year-round Campgrounds
in Washington
With relatively mild winter temperatures driven by its
maritime climate, Washington state is graced with some of the best winter
camping spots in the country, particularly given its northern latitude.
While snow closes down all campgrounds in the Cascades
and almost all of them in eastern Washington, nearly all of the low elevation
campgrounds west of the Cascades remain open during the winter months. From the
Columbia River Gorge to the Olympic Peninsula and up to the San Juan Islands,
incredible adventures can be pursued year round.
That being said, western Washington is notorious for one
thing, more than an other state, and that is RAIN! If you're exploring the
great outdoors any time in between October and June, you can count on liquid
sunshine. An enclosed
trailer can help keep
you dry, but you can also choose better timing. In fact, some areas like Olympic National Park
are best explored in the off-season when the crowds are all gone. We realize
camping out in the rain isn't for everyone, so we've not only highlighted the
campgrounds with cabins, yurts, and platform tents, we've also made sure to
feature some of the best rustic lodges in the area to give you, your family, or
your other travel companions the full range of overnight accommodation options.
We've also featured a slew of campgrounds, and favorites
are signified with an asterisk.
