Camping Pictures

I have spring fever and am gearing up to go camping this summer, a lot. I recently switched jobs and will have more time off with my family. While trying to live vicariously through others trips I was surprised to see that a search turned up zero threads for camping pictures. There's one for trucks and trailers, but no camping trips. Maybe it's not allowed if it's not specifically vehicle related, if so, moderators feel free to delete this thread. I will start with some pics and location.

Washington Park in Anacortes, Wa. It's a city park with water and power hook ups, no sewer hook ups but there is a dump station. I want to say it runs about $15-$20 a night. If you're ever in the area I definitely recommend staying. There is trails and tide pools, a dock, boat launch, and play ground.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting the pictures BigGreenEx. We are in the planning stages of a trip to Vancouver Island and we are going to ferry across from Anacortes. I was researching a place to stay. looks like our kind of campground. Are reservations necessary in the Summer?

I would recommend getting reservations, especially in the summer. We normally go in the fall and spring when it's empty and I think they fill up pretty quick in the summer. The spots seem far enough away from each other that I wouldn't think a full camp ground would be an issue. You need to hit Bob's Chowder House in commercial and get Captain Jacks Cod Sandwich while you're in town. If you're staying for a couple days you should head down onto Whidbey Island and go to Fort Casey State Park and Fort Ebey State Park https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Casey https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Ebey_State_Park make sure you read up in the proper ghost stories first though. The whole area is beautiful though and you can't really go wrong. Not sure what you're pulling, but some of the state parks around here are not friendly for larger trailers.

Yea, making me home sick. I used to live in Everett before I got out. Living out on the peninsula it's a lot like Anacortes. But we got more beach.

Found some boating pics from labor day weekend. Forgot to take camp pics from Burt Lake state Park...


Mackinac Bridge



Not everybody knows the center lanes on the bridge are open steel grating. Note car in pic.
