Cranberry Lake Campground Review
We found that the campground near Deception Pass State Park is a beautiful and easy-to-access option for most visitors to the state park.
But, in peak season it can be quite busy. It's not the secluded experience that you may be looking for. There is a nearby naval air station that can be pretty loud at night. Some campers even bring earplugs to get a better night's sleep.
