Thanks for all the suggestions! While I love NPS cgs, they won’t work for this trip because we need the hookups. I do love all the suggestions for stops tho, we’ll try to hit as many as possible!
What about one base camp near Olympic for 3 nights, and one btwn North Cascades and Ranier for 3 nights?
Do you really "need" the hookups? Are you saying you can't survive for a few days without them? Most national park campgrounds will have at most, a dump station and a source of fresh water--but I've seen plenty of people in RVs happily camping there for several days on end. Same with national forest campgrounds.
In the Pacific Northwest, the most beautiful campsites are often dry or minimal service campgrounds. If you restrict yourself to Pay-For-A-Slab RV Resort, not only are you bleeding money, but you're sticking yourself in some of the least attractive locations. The RV parks in that part of the country are overcrowded, noisy, cramped, and hideously expensive. A shame to go there when you can camp in or near a beautiful national park for much less money!
