Camping at Deception Pass State Park
This weekend we tried camping together for the first time. After converting the back of our car into a bed (with a folding wooden platform + foam mattress) we crossed the border, drove for an hour (through scenery that looked a lot like the route to Tofino) and ended up at our final destination: Deception Pass Park on Whidbey Island.
The campground we chose had a partial ocean view, was a reasonable distance from the 'facilities' and had a picnic table and fire pit ready for use. Other than getting a little dirty (the part I don't like about camping) we had a great time exploring the park, playing paddle ball and getting coffees in Oak Harbour and a cinnamon bun in Anacortes.
The final verdict: Yes we will camp again. Just need to make the SUV-bed a little more comfortable and pick up a few items which will better facilitate our camping experience.
Here are some pics from our overnight excursion:
