Washington/Oregon in July

[Red_Eagle]

Will be heading to Canada (Banff) this July, then down to Vancouver before heading back to U.S. At present, plan on camping in Mt Vernon, then Sequim or Port Townsend (Olympic,N.P.), Mossy Rock and down to the Columbia River Gorge area. From there, we will head down to Bend, Oregon area (Crater Lake N.P. & other attractions). We have a 31' 5er and prefer FHU. Would appreciate recommendations for campgrounds in these areas from those of you who have traveled this northwest area. Thank you in advance for your advice. Would also appreciate recommendations for Kalispell, Montana and Boise, Idaho areas. Again, thank you.

Bend area has a lot to see and do, way too much to mention here. Be sure to make reservations. We will be there in middle loop in June/July, so stop be and say hi if you stay there.

Do you host at LaPine SP every year?

Where ever you stay, make your reservations NOW!
Campsites in this region fill up many months in advance - especially those with hookups.

Fort Worden State Park at Port Townsend is a great park - right on the water.

If you can't get a site at Collier State Park for Crater Lake, Joseph H. Stewart State Recreation area is a very nice place and a short drive to Crater.

I see Mt. Vernon then Sequim and Port Townsend I would assume you plan taking the Washington State Ferry between Coupville and Port Townsend. If so get reservations for that also.

Better make reservations.
Oregon and Washington state parks are popular and book up early for summer months.
