The statistics are scary: most Americans don’t take their vacation time!

Ahhh vacation, what a terrible thing to waste. While we’re not sure why so many folks forget to getaway and take a breather from their grueling schedules, we realize that part of the reason could be that they’re not fully aware of all of the amazing destinations that are waiting to welcome them. Namely, the San Juan Islands.

Here are our top three reasons to visit the San Juan Islands:

1.    Real Islands, real close.

The San Juan Islands are floating around the Salish Sea just off the coast of Washington State.  They’re accessible only by float plane, wheels plane or ferry.

2.    Adventures for all.

Regardless of your appetite for adventure, the San Juan Islands will have just what you need to rev your engine.  From sea kayaking to hiking to biking to whale watching to dining you’ll find just what you needed to do to complete an unforgettable getaway.

3.    Year ’round availability.

Sure, the San Juan Islands are the most popular in the summer, but they’re a great destination any time of the year. Starting around mid-September, the Islands get a little easier to navigate as the crowd sizes relax.  After the holidays and before spring break you’ll find sleepy Islands to embrace just the same.

Of course, our glamping sites in Moran State Park are only available seasonally from April – September but that doesn’t mean that you should lose your vacation days if you’ve got time for a visit when our tent flaps are closed for the season!  If you’re looking for a winter getaway and our glamping sites aren’t available, there are lots of B&b’s, Inns and cozy hotels to choose from.

Now that we’ve shed some light on the San Juan Islands, we trust that you won’t become a statistic and will, instead, book your Moran State Park glamping adventure with us today!
