RV Rental Lopez Island, WA

The San Juan Islands are full of enchanting parks, forests, and beaches just waiting to be discovered.

Eighty acres of waterfront and 30 campsites are an open invitation for you to visit the park in your Lopez Island camper rental. Hiking along the seashore, swimming in the water, or fishing for dinner are fun ways to make the most of your stay. Iceberg Point is located at the southernmost tip of the island and can be a little tricky to find when you search for it in your Lopez Island RV rental.

Spencer Spit State Park is the only state park on Lopez Island, although there is a myriad of state parks in the San Juan Islands. The park has lots of hiking trails, tranquil beaches, and a salty lagoon near the shore.

The Cascadia Marine Trail, a 250-mile boating trail in the Puget Sound uses the park as one of its many camping spots if you are into that sort of thing.

Remember those Olympic Mountains you might be able to see from Iceberg Point? They reside in Olympic National Park all the way on the other side of the Puget Sound. You can either drive your Lopez Island RV rental through Seattle and Olympia all the way around to the national park or take a ferry from nearby Whidbey Island to utilize a helpful shortcut. This stunning park brings in millions of visitors each year to see its glorious rainforests, rocky shores, and epic mountains that overlook the entire Puget Sound. There are more than enough places to camp and trails to hike at this stunning eco-sanctuary that is home to countless species of wildlife.

Lopez Island has a smaller population and cannot be considered a lively, bustling town. However, there are naturally some interesting things to do while you visit because it is a tourist haven in the summer. Shark Reef Sanctuary might technically fall under an outdoor attraction, but it is an amazing place to stare at the water and watch wildlife interact. Sharks, seals, whales, birds, and every kind of ocean animal you can think of might make an appearance at the sanctuary. Lopez Island Vineyard is one of the oldest in the region, and an awesome place to sample locally made wine.

You can also hop on a whale watching tour and take a cruise of the Puget Sound. Unbelievable up-close sightings of different types of whales are a fantastic way to remember your vacation. Lopez Island Historical Museum is run by the Lopez Island Historical Society, which protects lots of historic homes for the preservation of the town’s culture.
