Private campsites & glamping in Coupeville, WA
Coupeville is Whidbey Island's historic waterfront village — one of Washington's oldest towns, set on Penn Cove with views across to the Cascades. It is famous for Penn Cove mussels, its 19th-century storefronts, and the Ebey's Landing bluff trails. The Captain Whidbey Inn's cabins sit right on the cove, minutes from town.
Whidbey is an easy island escape: no ferry needed via Deception Pass from the north, or the Port Townsend–Coupeville ferry from the Olympic Peninsula. Pair a cabin stay with the island's farm stands, Fort Casey, and a mussel feast in town.
