Deception Pass State Park

 After we left the rain forest it was time to make our annual trip back to our unofficial home base. Our daughter and son-in-law had a few more days of vacation so they tagged along. We got the only available sites -113 and 114 - at Deception pass, probably because they are considered a double site. They must be reserved together and each has a separate reservation fee.

Site 113 and 114 are fairly short and slightly uphill.The tables have long overhangs and the ground is hard packed - not accessible but usable. 

We only stayed the night so we didn't check out the park or the accessible sites. The Dunes Interpretive Trail is designated as accessible.  Campground  48.40028, -122.66194

  1. My little brother and his wife just retired a couple of years ago. They have been able to get their favorite sites reserving months ahead.
    The good years I could just head out from Ballard with the lady of the time and get a spot anytime.
    Oh the good old days!
    The air shows at the base were so swell to view with a campsite to head back to.
    No longer.......

    1. No that long ago we could get sites at national parks by just going to them on the same day as we wanted to camp. The internet is great for all kinds of things but it sure has made camping harder. And also introduced to people to the wonders of our country - now they all want to see it! :D

    2. Amen to that. We've slowed down our travel on this account, but we're infinitely grateful we had the time on the road that we had. It was wonderful. I'm sure you guys are still enamored of RV travel.
