There
are excellent campgrounds throughout Washington, most extensively along the Cascade Range across
the entire state from
Bellingham to
Vancouver.
A highlight of camping in Washington is with a view of
Mount Rainier
or
Mount St. Helens in the background, and a crystal clear
mountain stream at your feet.
Vancouver is within an easy drive of the Columbia River Gorge, and nearby camp sites.
To escape from the crowded cities, an overnight camping excursion in the Cascades out of
Leavenworth or
Wenatchee
puts your close to hiking and horse-riding trails. For the more adventurous, traveling west from
Winthrop into
the
North Cascades National Park for a one or two day backpacking and camping trip lets you
fully experience the wild forests and alpine lakes.
More campgrounds can be found surrounding the old growth
forests and along the rugged beaches of the Olympic peninsula. Backpacking is allowed along most of the coastal portion of
Olympic National Park -
the opportunity to camp amid the driftwood on a wild, sandy beach is a opportunity of a lifetime.
An undiscovered corner of the state, the forests around
Kettle Falls and the northern stretches of
Lake Roosevelt are studded with intimate campgrounds. Deer and eagles are common here,
as well as the occasional bear.

For extended travel, nothing beats traveling across Washington in an RV, from Grand Coulee to the Cascades and Mount Rainier, across the Puget Sound to Olympic National Park
and the Pacific Ocean. No RV? No problem. Once you have researched your vacation on Go-Washington, visit our
