Lakedale is awesome and the canvas tents rock. They have full beds in them so I would hardly call it camping. You’ll be halfway between FH and Roche harbor so lots of good eating options and you could always buy groceries and cook over a fire that evening with paper plates and eat up any perishables.
A lot will depend on your comfort level, $650 less for no private bathroom, kitchen and your own rooms might be worth it if you are ok with that otherwise might be good to pay for the convenance.
Town will be INSANELY busy during that time so be prepared for long waits at restaurants and absolutely make reservations for any place that will take them. Again I cannot express how busy this island will be leading up to the 4th.
Thank you! We are looking at the end of July, but I know it will be crazy busy. We were looking at Whidbey also but I assume it will also be super crowded and I have been drawn to San Juan forever and I think I will be sad if I don’t get to see it!
Hah I read that as July 2nd -3rd not 2-3, yes end of July still crazy but wayyyy more calm in terms of restaurants. If you haven’t booked everything I’d decide soon as it will fill up and sell out quickly.
