RV travel is something people work their whole lives to get to experience, whether it’s a cross-country tour of all the US states, or simply communing with nature in one state. The Pacific Northwest is loaded with RV campgrounds, offering travelers unlimited options for hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, and meeting like-minded people along the way. There are too many to list in one article, so here are 5 of the most awesome RV campgrounds you’ll find in the Pacific Northwest.
1. Birch Bay State Park – Washington

Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountains while staying in one of the many campsites. There are only 20 sites with electrical and water hookups, so it is wise to make a reservation. However, there are public restroom and shower facilities throughout the park.

5. Bullards Beach State Park – Oregon
