At a glance

LEANTO sets up canvas tents on cedar platforms inside Moran State Park's South End Loop on Orcas Island, part of the San Juan Islands. The walk-in campsites sit among roughly 5,000 acres of forest, with access to more than 30 miles of hiking trails and five freshwater lakes nearby. Each site requires a short uphill walk on uneven ground to reach the platform.
The tents are equipped, but guests bring their own bedding and bath supplies. There's no water, electricity, or reliable cell service on-site, though flush toilets and hot showers are a short distance away. It's a stripped-down version of camping, minus the work of hauling gear and pitching a tent from scratch.
The 2026 season runs from check-in on June 18th through check-out on August 30th. Reservations go through the LEANTO website, or by calling the property directly at (360) 298-1684. Office hours run weekdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.
Past guests mention the ease of arriving to an already-set-up site, clean accommodations, and the surrounding scenery of Moran State Park as highlights of the stay.
