The best glamping pods in Deception Pass

·

Deception Pass State Park has a little bit of everything Northwesterners hold dear: rugged saltwater shoreline, freshwater lakes, old growth forest, wildlife, and views stretching across Puget Sound. The park’s centerpiece is the Deception Pass bridge, which flies high above the cliffs and links the mainland with Whidbey Island. Campsites are scattered around the park, including a boat-in cabin and forested tent spots.

As well as propane and garbage removal of the onsite rubbish container. Guests are expected to leave the site as they found it with all garbage contained in the site bin and all farm stand items returned to the farm stand. Additional non-exclusive guest access to a 3 acre pond picnic field, walking paths, livestock barn, and our farm stand. There is also a boat launch at the end of the property operated by our neighbor with a $10 fee for use. Please bring your own paddle boards, canoes, kayaks and small motor boats if you would like to use the launch, there is no rented watercraft available. There is no swimming or lingering at the boat launch. Pets – Dogs on leash are welcome. Guests should understand that we raise sheep, cattle, pigs, and fowl on the property and any pet that becomes a nuisance could result in our having to end your visit without returned fees. It is important to note that we have a ranging farm dog, Stella, with access to the full property and she often finds her way to the Glamp Ground on her rounds. Stella is a sweetheart, (unless you are a racoon), she doesn’t start fights, but if your dog is prone to aggressive behavior it is best to reach out before booking. Stella is safe with children and respectful, but she has a job to do on the farm and her access is not limited.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve all of the park’s 172 tent sites, 134 partial-hookup sites, and five hiker/biker sites online. 
  2. Deception Pass is a popular state park. Reservations should be made in advance, especially for summer weekends. All campsites can be reserved online, up to nine months in advance of the arrival date. 
  3. The Ben Ure Cabin on Ben Ure Island is accessible only by kayak or rowboat, and guests must bring their own water.

When to go

Deception Pass State Park is open year-round. In the Coastal Northwest’s relatively mild climate, there’s never a bad time to visit. Summers, especially on weekends and holidays, are very busy here. But come in the shoulder season—in the spring or early summer, before July 4—or early fall, after Memorial Day, and you’re more likely to find seclusion. Weekdays are generally a better bet, too.

Know before you go

  • You can rent kayaks and stand-up paddleboards at the Bowman Bay concession stand from April through September. 
  • Visitors will need to display a day-use or annual Discover Pass. The park has automated pay stations dispensing both, along with boat launch permits. 
  • The park has 1.2 miles of ADA hiking trails, in addition to three miles of bike trails, six miles of horse trails, and 38 miles of hiking trails.
