Typically, people have two reactions to the idea of “glamping.” Some think it sounds like the best of both worlds (spending time in nature while still sleeping in a real bed), while others might not understand the expense. But spend one weekend glamping at Lakedale Resort at Three Lakes in Friday Harbor and you’ll be sold. There really is something to be said about breathing in fresh air and spending time by the lake and following it all up with a soak in a private hot tub.
You’ll find Lakedale Resort at Three Lakes on Roche Harbor Road in Friday Harbor, just a few miles from the downtown area and ferry terminal.
Jessica Wick As the name implies, there are three lakes on this lush green property, and plenty of options for whatever kind of vacation you’re looking for.
You’re certainly welcome to experience some good old-fashioned camping at Lakedale, if you so desire.
Lakedale Resort There are traditional campsites and RV sites available as well as a 1978 Airstream for rent.
The canvas cabins and cottages are a step up from traditional camping – they offer queen or king-sized beds and amenities to make you feel more at home.
Lakedale The Canvas Cottages (pictured here) even have electricity and running water. Guests can also rent 2-bedroom cabins or spend the night in a lakefront Lodge Room. The Lodge is reserved for guests 16 and over only, but the rest of the property is extremely family-friendly.
But whether you typically prefer to camp in a tent or spend the night in a four star hotel, we highly recommend you rent a yurt at Lakedale at least once in your life.

Lakedale’s Yurt Village includes seven spaced out yurts in a small forest encircled by a lake.

Each yurt includes a comfortable king-sized bed, a sofa bed, a full bathroom with a shower and vanity, and plenty of cozy blankets.

The space also includes a mini kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and dishes. You’ll also find three different styles of wine glasses that serve as a reminder that this is not exactly “roughing it.”

… and anytime you need to relax, simply step out onto the deck and step into your private hot tub.
Jessica Wick The hot tub is kept piping hot, and it’s equally inviting on a cool summer night as it is in the colder months. The deck also has a grill and Adirondack chairs.
Vacations at Lakedale are laid back. But if you do feel adventurous, check out their list of activities.
Management / TripAdvisor Some activities are only possible in the summer months, while others – like bike rentals, boat rentals, and fishing – are available all year. During the summer, you can swim at the lake’s swimming beaches, and young glampers can make a tie-dye shirt in the Activities Tent. Nearly everything at Lakedale is included in your rate.
It’s never fun to forget something when you’re on vacation. Luckily, the General Store is about to open for the season.
Jessica Wick From May - October, the store offers deli sandwiches, Espresso, groceries, and things you never knew you needed.
But as fun as the activities are, sometimes it’s nice to just sit down, relax, and enjoy the sounds, sights, and scents of nature.
Lakedale The beauty of Lakedale Resort is that it grants you the time to slow down and breathe.
