    View straight out of the front door of cabin 9
    Mitch H.

    We stayed in cabin number 9. Very cozy and clean place across the street from the water. Great view out the windows and front door of the bay. Plenty of space to sleep a large group. There is only one bathroom though and it is shaped oddly; but works fine. Large table for playing games but the chairs are very uncomfortable. Space to grill outside, but I'd bring your own grill unless you want to use the "park style" metal grills they have on site. Quiet area, especially at night, and WOW do the stars come out at night if it is clear out. You just may find god or whatever you believe in staring up at the night sky here as we did in September. Great place, friendly staff, would stay again!

    Considering roughing it & digging for clams w/ eldest sis. We ended up being lazy just waiting for dad & eating BBQ...

    A place called... John Wayne's Waterfront Resort A few years back when my mom was still shining her star on earth she planned a camping adventure to surprise my dad for his 200th birthday. The party included my parents (2 of 2), five of their children (5 of 7), four grandchildren (4 of 12), then "5' foot with slippers on" mom invites my "hānai" brother who stands at 6' foot 7" inches even near a Grizzly. So now you know we need more than just a tent. Luckily for guys like me who never plan anything in advance... mom already booked 2 cabins to fit the Flintstones, the Rubbles, & a snoring Grizzly... Once we loaded the parental van, the sisters SUV, and whatever car we could muster up... we leave the suburbs of Seattle to a place I know little about called Sequim located on the coast of Puget Sound in Washington. So after a few city pit stops, bridge crossing, and ferry riding we head over to the cabins and the smell of clams... A place called... John Wayne's Waterfront Resort Yup, it's named after legendary Hollywood actor, John Wayne. Here's his story: "John Wayne frequented Sequim Bay aboard the Wild Goose and bought a big chunk of land in the area. He would get excited about picking blackberries in the PNW and said there was nothing better than bourbon, steak, and blackberry pie. He envisioned a marina in the scenic bay and The John Wayne Marina was constructed on 22 acres of land donated by the John Wayne family. The Wayne family still owns 150 acres in Sequim, where 'John Wayne's Waterfront Resort', is located steps from the Marina..." A place called... John Wayne's Waterfront Resort In the end, my family roughed it up the best we could in the cool Puget Sound of the PNW, sans the lumberjacks & werewolves. And no, don't expect a resort from the "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" here. It sure wasn't the conventional laying on the beach shirtless or exploring a 15th century convent like I'm used to, but it was a special rustic type memory that will forever be with me: cabins (w/ old kitchens), clamming, picking blackberries, playing board games & chatting til midnight. So that's the story of my family's association w/ John "the Duke" Wayne. My mom was certainly sweet as an angel in her lifetime, but heck tough as "the Duke" too... I miss mom dearly, but she's always in my memories & forever in my heart...

    This is not a modern RV park with full amenities. It is older, all gravel, on a hill side, and only 30 amp electrical. However, the view is what this park is all about. John Wayne loved this area, donated the land for the gorgeous marina across the street where he kept his boat, and built this RV park which his family still owns. We are doing our bucket list of camping in every state and this is by far the most gorgeous place we have ever been. It is not the easiest place to get to with an RV as the roads tend to be winding and tight, but it is certainly worth it. Most sites are pull-through with full hook-ups, but there is an overflow area without hookups. There are also cabins and a tenting area. They even do outdoor wedding receptions. Check out the restaurant at the nearby 7 Cedars Casino - great food. Thank you to the very friendly camp hosts.

    Excellent staff from the office to maintenance to cleaning crew. Always helpful & friendly too!! Accommodations are excellent. We have camped in tent spots, visited in our rv, and stayed in the cabins- highly recommend them all!

    We lucked out and called last minute to see if they had any spots for our 27 ft motorhome and she had a cancellation so we took it! We had spot #4 which was right in front so it had a beautiful view of the bay. You do have to cross the road to get over to the water. But definitely beautiful. We went to dockside grill for dinner which is always a hit. And you just walk the path from the rv site.

    The spectacular view from our cabin.

    What a gorgeous park this is. The sad part was it was full when we were hoping to stay. However,…read morethat didn't stop us from spending some time there and that we did. We visited the clubhouse, the kitchen and talk to quite a few folks there. People were working everywhere and even in the flower beds. It was just beautiful for sure. People were very friendly. The sites are well kept up. Maybe next year we'll try to make reservations earlier and be able to stay here.

    This is a great park with very few downsides. We stayed for a month and never got moved to a site…read morewith a sewer hook-up. Not within range of over air antenna's. They have 5G WiFi, if you don't abuse it. Buildings were fantastic, showers, laundry facilities were well kept and some of best we have found. In fact, one semi-broken hand held shower head in each of the women's and men's showers were replaced while we were there. Whole park is surrounded by a large forest of old tall trees, private, secure from highway. All the perm residents have sewers but not for the drive by folks. Perm folks stopped by after a week to introduce themselves and offer to show us around. Sundays have an ice- cream social at the clubhouse when not in COVID mode. A great little community that we were blessed to visit with. What needs to change/Other issues: Honey pot service weekly or twice weekly needs to be considered and voted in. Our neighbors hooked up their 30W 5th wheel to our sites electric post for 5 days, and we got the electric charge, (Monthly rate includes electric bill), Staff never checked or had them rebook. All sites are on a small gravel bed, perm sites have some poured concrete patios, but pure rocks make it hard to enjoy sitting outside the RV and enjoy the sunset. There is a car wash on site that is great. Folks there were most kind and helpful, and we will definItely seek to stay there when returning to area. Gorgeous park, wonderful ride/drive to nearby cities, very close to a farmers market for fresh produce and necessities. Near enough Port Townsend to make a daily run if needed.... we did for Groceries, gas or other odds and ends. Close to multiple lakes. Just "wowed" by the beautiful area Around. SkP did this one right, with a very few changes it would approach perfect. Wife approved post.

    We had an amazing experience here--especially as first-time RV renters…read more We arrived around 9 PM in the dark, in pouring rain, and had no idea what we were doing. The staff still came out to meet us, guided us to our spot (which they thoughtfully chose to be extra easy for beginners), and even helped us hook up electricity and water in the rain. That level of kindness and patience meant so much. Our plans changed and we ended up staying a second night, and they were just as welcoming--this time offering helpful local tips as we got more comfortable. The park itself is wonderful: * A beautiful waterfall less than a 10-minute walk away * Walkable restaurants and a coffee stand * Hot showers (a lifesaver when we couldn't get ours working ) This place made our first RV trip feel doable and enjoyable. Highly recommend--especially for anyone new to RVing

    Wow! We've been wanting to try this literally brand new RV park recently added by the Port of…read moreAnacortes, and we weren't disappointed. Featuring 25 full hookup sites, each professionally landscaped and with its own picnic table, the sites here are large, level, and you don't feel like you're right on top of your neighbors. Most of the sites were back-in, but there are a few pull-through sites too. The on-site bathroom is not only one of the nicest campground restrooms I've ever visited, it's one the nicest restrooms I've ever visited in general. There's also a small coin-op laundry area, utility sink, and even a water bottle filling area inside. The park was clean and quiet during our two night visit. It's also just a few minutes walk (or a level bike ride) to several restaurants and grocery stores. We will definitely be adding this to our regular weekend getaway rotation! I definitely recommend getting a reservation, as the park appeared completely full this weekend.

We stayed for three (3) nights and every night we wanted to stream something and relax but it was so frustrating that we just gave up. This place needs to update their band width or research what the exact problem is. After a nice long day of enjoying everything this RV park has to offer, one wants to relax and chill by streaming a program or movie, but this internet makes it impossible.
