Private campsites & glamping in Olga, WA
Olga is a tiny artist hamlet on the east side of Orcas Island, home to a historic general store, galleries, and the road up Mount Constitution. It is the quiet side of the island — no ferry lines, just forest, farmland, and Doe Bay Resort's waterfront yurts and domes tucked into a cove. Base here for the island's best hiking and kayaking.
Moran State Park surrounds Olga with 5,000 acres of old-growth forest and the drive-up summit of Mount Constitution (2,409 ft) with its stone tower and island views. Orcas's best farm stands and the village of Eastsound are 15 minutes west.
