Summer reservations. While reservations are not required for camping at any of the San Juan County Parks (reservations ARE required for Fairgrounds sites), they are strongly recommended during the summer, especially at San Juan County Park on San Juan Island. Any unreserved campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis; please register promptly upon selecting your campsite.

Online camping reservations for individual campsites can be made a minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 90 days in advance of arrival. Reservations are accepted from March 1  through October 15, beginning at midnight each day.

Pets. Pets are welcome in our parks, though we do ask that pets be kept on a leash at all times, they be kept quiet and not bothering other park visitors, and the pet owner clean up after their animal.

HAMMOCK TENTS not allowed in County campgrounds. While we recognize that some manufacturers are prudent in their design & application and respectful of the environment, there are many who are not. Other traditional tends are, of course, still allowed in any of our park campsites.

Group Reservations. Organized groups will be accommodated in special Group Camp areas on a space available basis. In order to minimize adverse impacts, large groups (more than 40 people at Odlin, 30 at San Juan, or 15 at Shaw County Park) cannot be accommodated at any of the parks from Memorial day weekend to mid-October. Groups must call 360-378-8420 to reserve space in advance, beginning on January 9. Arrangements must be completed at least 2 weeks prior to group stay; allow ample time.

Commercial/Group Operators. All commercial operators are required to obtain a permit from the Parks & Recreation Director to use any San Juan County park for a business-related purpose. For those who are in the business of providing services primarily to tourists and park visitors, please refer to our Commercial Use Permit Program. Permits are generally valid from the date of issue to the end of the calendar year. Park use without a valid permit is grounds for immediate denial of use privileges. Call the Park Administration office at 360-378-8420 for information. Arrangements must be finalized at least 2 weeks prior to group use; allow ample time.

Special Events. Includes non-recreation events such as (but not limited to) weddings, birthday parties and receptions. Please call our main office at 360-378-8420 to make arrangements.

Weather. Each of the camping parks is situated along the water, so they tend to be a bit cooler than mainland locations. For your comfort, it’s always a good idea to bring extra layers of clothing. Temperatures typically range from the low 40’s in April to the pleasant 70’s in July and August (winter temp’s can dip below freezing). Rainfall is often less than Seattle, due to the rain shadow effect of the Olympic Mountains, with average monthly accumulations of less than two inches from April through September.

Off-season camping. During the off-season (October through April), the islands take on a slightly different personality. The pace of life slows just a bit, but the majestic natural beauty remains. And the weather can be dramatic and delightful! Community events and activities are scheduled year 'round. Come enjoy the San Juans like the locals do.

Campsites are on a strictly first-come, first-served basis from November 1 through March 31. Self-registration information is posted at each park. Enjoy more relaxed camping and reduced fees, too (services are also reduced.)

San Juan County resident reservations. We are once again offering early advance reservations for people who reside in our county year 'round. Please call our main office at 378-8420 for information. Early resident reservations are accepted through February 28, 2013. Proof of County residency will be required.
