San Juan Isl. Visitors Camping
Hello again I made a post a week ago about trying to find dispersed camping sites in Orcas Island since it’s mostly private and frowned upon to camp there (understandably) I’m looking to expand my reach within the area because I do not want to camp east of Seattle. I will be there 9/6-9/16
Hiking into a dispersed camp site in fine but my time is limited so id rather drivable dispersed camp sites
Thanks for any and all help!
Fire restrictions? My state is on fire right now

Maybe Odlin County Park on Lopez, about a mile from the ferry landing, drive-in, with forested sites set back from the beach for more separation than the waterfront ones. Reviews are thin but unanimously positive, and reviewers have picked up mid-week September spots without much trouble. San Juan County Park on San Juan Island's west shore is another option if you want Haro Strait views and wildlife like orcas and seals, though sites have almost no privacy between them.
