Camper Enjoying Campfire
A chorus of birdsong wakes you at dawn. Fried eggs on the Trangia cooker. A morning dip in a local pond... Camping is a great way of going back to basic, and is probably the cheapest way to holiday

    Moran State Park, Orcas Island

    Posted by namztis 19 February 2008

    The San Juan Islands, a two-hour ferry ride out of Anacortes, Washington, are a great destination for outdoor recreation.

    Moran State Park on Orcas Island has lovely scenic campsites with excellent access to hiking, biking, swimming, and boating. The view from the lookout on Mt. Constitution is well worth the hike (or drive).

    Orca whale-watching is best off of nearby San Juan Island, where you can also visit the charming village of Friday Harbor.

    For more information, and to make reservations (recommended!), visit the Washington State Parks Website:
