||| FROM SAN JUAN COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS |||
San Juan County Parks, Recreation, and Fair Department is pleased to announce the Resident Reservation program will now be offered through the department’s reservation website.
On Wednesday, February 28, at 6:00 am through Tuesday, March 5 at 4:00 pm, reservations will be available online to San Juan County residents. This is a one-week phase only, prior to our reservation website opening to the public on Wednesday, March 6 at 9:00 am.
This program allows San Juan County residents to reserve individual campsite early in order to camp with their family/friends together within a site. Non-resident friends who would like to camp in their own site on the same dates can reserve beginning March 6 at 9:00 am. Past limitations on the number of campgrounds, campsites and dates for the resident reservation program no longer apply.
Please go to our reservation system to make your reservations. If a technological issue occurs during the online process, you can reach out to San Juan County Parks, Recreation & Fair Department administrative staff for assistance at parks@sanjuancountywa.gov. Please email a detailed note.
To request and secure your reservation online, please:
- Go to https://www.sanjuancountywa.gov
- Choose the Parks, Recreation & Fair link.
- Choose the Camping link.
- Choose your desired San Juan County Park or Fairgrounds location.
- Submit check-in and check-out dates and your available campsite selection to compete one camping reservation.
- Follow all additional instructions.
- Submit full payment. Residents must have a San Juan County billing zip code.
- Should you desire another reservation, begin the process again.
Note: Once you choose a campsite online, it is still available for others to reserve until you complete your payment process and submit. You will know your reservation is secured if you receive a confirmation receipt.
Please be prepared when camping through this local benefit program to show your local identification at the campground if asked by San Juan County staff.
If you have a local group of 9 or more people, we ask that you reserve group campsites instead. Group camping opened on January 5, 2024. Please email parks@sanjuancountywa.gov to receive group camping information and forms. Group camping allows you to gather for all activities and helps us manage our Parks for the good of all campers.
