To profdant139 and rjxj -- thanks for letting me know the photo didn't appear. Strange -- it shows when I open the post. And rjxi, thanks for that link. That's what I've used to edit my post above. Also here is a clickable link to the photo in 'google drive'.

Edit -- more info:

If you're considering an island trip, we bought this book:

https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5038-471/Vancouver-Island-BC---Victoria%26-Gulf-Islands?gclid=Cj0KEQjw...

It shows all the backcountry RV sites -- both fully serviced and remote non-serviced. It's quite valuable -- my wife and I will go for a half dozen island trips per year, using this book to find new places.

On the north half of the island, there are numerous tiny remote forestry sites, usually with no charge, on a 'first come -- first serve' basis. Many of the larger northern lakes seem to have one (or two). Few if any of them, have full service.

In the map below, west of Campbell River, my pic is located at the arrow. Inside the large red circle, are at least 30 sites with some form of remote campsite available.

Thanks, profdant139! Kennewick (Tri-Cities) is basically high desert, if you weren't aware. And slowly becoming an urban desert!! We tend to do the mountains and woods mostly, but do at times find nice dry spots nearby!!

Washington always looks so green and cool -- coming from an urban desert, we really appreciate the lush vegetation whenever we head up to the North Cascades. Thanks for posting those photos!

If you have a smaller RV and enjoy "urban boondocking", Charleston, SC is a very RV-friendly place. Here is our Roadtrek on Murray Street, with the Ashley River on our side of the street, and multi-million dollar homes (some of them can be called mansions) on the other side of the street. No signs prohibiting overnight parking on this section of Murray Street. Charleston is a very walkable city, and the historic downtown section isn't too far.
