Calling all RV travelers & van lifers
Winter is an incredible time to road-trip through Washington. Many parks that accept RVs and vans stay open year-round, offering quiet loops, open hookup sites and beautiful off-season scenery.

A few things to keep in mind:

Water hookups vary: Many parks turn off water but still provide winter water access at restrooms, dump stations or specific sites. Plan to arrive with a full fresh tank or be ready to fill up at the designated winter spigot.

Power is widely available: Even when water is off, electrical hookups remain on – great for heating, cooking and keeping batteries charged.

Dump stations may have winter access: Some remain open year-round; others close seasonally or during hard freezes.

Roads can be icy: Always check pass conditions and park alerts before you roll out.

Enjoy the solitude: Winter is one of the best times for van lifers and RVers to find peaceful campsites that are booked solid in the summer.

Whether you’re weekending in your camper van, chasing snow in your RV or even braving it in your tent, Washington’s state parks offer plenty of beautiful winter spots to call home for a night, or several.
