Best time to visit Moran State Park
Late June through early September offers the warmest, driest weather and the best conditions for swimming at Cascade and Mountain lakes, hiking, and summit views from Mount Constitution. These months also bring the heaviest ferry demand, so reservations for both campsites and Washington State Ferries fill well in advance. Shoulder seasons in May and late September deliver cooler temperatures, quieter trails, and easier ferry bookings, though some park concessions scale back. The indoor summit visitor center and gift shop is open April through October, with outdoor exhibits available year round.

Things to do at Moran State Park
- Drive or Hike to the Mount Constitution Summit Moderate
The Mount Constitution summit is the highest point in the San Juan Islands and the park's signature viewpoint. Trails and roads lead to the top of Mount Constitution, whose 2,409 foot summit is crowned by a stone observation tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Large RVs should stay at the main campgrounds and drive smaller vehicles to the top. nps.gov/places/moran-state-park.htm

Cascade Lake is the park's main day-use hub with a swimming beach, picnic area, and boat rentals. The park has concessionaires who rent various watercraft to visitors and a snack bar, The Sugar Shack, located on Cascade Lake. RV parking is available in the main day-use lot.
- Fish and Paddle on Mountain Lake EasyRV parking available
Mountain Lake is the largest lake in the park and a quieter spot for paddling and fishing. Visitors can fish for lake trout, kayak, or camp at sites around the lake. A campground and boat launch sit on the west shore with space for tow vehicles.

We went on our first RV trip as a family and had a fantastic time. The host was communicative and the RV was clean and worked really well. We will for sure rent again.

We had a great experience renting this 29-foot RV from Stanislav. We picked it up at Swartz Bay in Victoria, traveled up the east coast of Vancouver Island, crossed over at Powell River, and made our way down the Sunshine Coast to Vancouver before returning it to Swartz Bay. The RV itself was very nice and everything worked as it should. The battery was particularly impressive—we were able to stay two full days on battery power without any issues. The generator also worked perfectly, and overall the camper was comfortable, reliable, and well equipped. Stanislav was also very helpful and made the pickup and drop-off at Swartz Bay easy. He offers delivery and pickup there for an additional fee, which was very convenient for us. One piece of advice for future renters: plan your route carefully if you are crossing between Vancouver Island and the mainland. We ended up taking five different ferry crossings during our trip, which added a significant amount to the cost. If we did the trip again, we would plan a route with fewer ferries. Overall, we really enjoyed the RV and would happily rent from Stanislav again.

Great communication, everything on-time and as expected. Mark and his trailer are both lovely.

This was our first time renting a trailer and it was awesome! Mark and his wife were lovely people and it was a pleasure meeting and communicating with them. We had everything we needed in the trailer and it worked perfectly for where we were with no hookups. Anytime we had questions, Mark was very quick to answer and explained everything about the trailer before they left. Thank you so much guys! :)

How to get to Moran State Park
Moran State Park sits on Orcas Island and is reached only by boat or small plane. Washington State Ferries provides regular transportation between Anacortes on the mainland and the San Juan Islands, including Orcas. From Seattle, plan roughly 1.5 to 2 hours driving to the Anacortes ferry terminal, then about a 1 hour and 15 minute ferry crossing to Orcas, followed by a 13 mile drive from the ferry landing at the south end of the island to the park entrance near Eastsound. RV travelers should pre-book vehicle space on the ferry, note that ferries charge by vehicle length for rigs and trailers, and be aware that the road up Mount Constitution is steep, narrow, and winding with tight switchbacks not recommended for large motorhomes or trailers. The nearest commercial airport for fly-and-rent trips is Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA).
