Quick Overview

Washington state delivers a spectacular range of RV terrain -- Pacific Ocean beaches, temperate rainforests, volcanic peaks, desert shrublands, and agricultural valleys all within a day's drive of each other. Sanidumps lists several sani-dump stations across Washington, with some free locations -- a portion% offer complimentary disposal and a portion% charge a fee for sanitary dump station access.

I-5 runs the length of western Washington from Vancouver to the Canadian border, passing through Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle, and Bellingham. This corridor has the densest concentration of dump stations in the state, with multiple options at every major interchange. I-90 crosses the Cascades at Snoqualmie Pass and continues east through Ellensburg, Moses Lake, and Spokane. I-82 connects Ellensburg to the Tri-Cities, passing through Yakima wine country.

The Olympic Peninsula is a top RV destination, with Olympic National Park's diverse ecosystems ranging from temperate rainforest to alpine glaciers. US-101 loops around the peninsula, and dump station access is available at several state parks and private campgrounds along the route. The Hoh Rain Forest and Kalaloch Beach areas draw heavy traffic. Port Angeles serves as the main supply hub for the peninsula's north side, with solid dump facility access.

Mount Rainier National Park has campgrounds at Cougar Rock and Ohanapecosh that accommodate RVs and provide dump station access during summer months. The access roads through Ashford and Packwood are RV-friendly on the main routes. North Cascades Highway (Route 20) is spectacularly scenic but has tight curves and seasonal closures -- generally open late May through November.

Eastern Washington is high desert and farmland, with a completely different character from the rainy west side. The Columbia Basin around Moses Lake and the Tri-Cities has Corps of Engineers and state park facilities along the Columbia and Snake rivers. Spokane serves as the east-side hub with good dump station coverage. The Palouse region south of Spokane has wider gaps between services.

The San Juan Islands, accessible by Washington State Ferries from Anacortes, draw RV visitors to Moran State Park on Orcas Island and San Juan County Park. Ferry reservations for RVs are essential during summer, and larger rigs face restrictions on some ferry routes. The Whidbey Island and Anacortes area along Highway 20 has solid dump station access on the mainland side.

Getting Around Washington by RV

I-5 handles all RV sizes through western Washington, but Seattle-Tacoma traffic is brutal -- avoid rush hours between Tacoma and Everett. I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass requires chains or traction tires in winter; the pass closes periodically during heavy snow. I-82 through the Yakima Valley is an easy drive with good services.

US-101 around the Olympic Peninsula is two-lane throughout and takes longer than the map suggests -- budget a full day minimum for the loop. Highway 20 (North Cascades Highway) closes November through May and has no services for long stretches. US-97 runs north-south through central Washington east of the Cascades and is a fast, easy drive for all RV sizes.

Fuel prices in Washington run above the national average, with western Washington higher than eastern. Propane is available at most campgrounds and hardware stores. Washington State Ferries are critical for reaching the San Juan Islands and several peninsula destinations -- reserve RV spots well ahead for summer sailings. The ferry system website provides specific vehicle length restrictions for each route.

Explore Washington

Washington state parks use the Discover Pass system -- a $30 annual pass or $10 day pass is required for parking at all state parks. This doesn't cover camping fees but does cover day-use access and is well worth it for RVers making multiple park stops.

For Olympic Peninsula trips, stock up on supplies in Port Angeles or Sequim. The west side of the peninsula (Forks, La Push) has limited grocery options. The Kalaloch Lodge area on the coast has basic supplies but at premium prices.

Cell coverage on the Olympic Peninsula is unreliable outside of Port Angeles and Sequim. The North Cascades and remote eastern Washington also have significant dead zones. T-Mobile and Verizon offer the best western Washington coverage. Rain is a constant on the west side from October through May -- invest in good rain gear and check your RV's seals before visiting. Eastern Washington summers are hot and dry, often exceeding 100 degrees in the Columbia Basin.
