Best Campgrounds near Duvall, WA

Wow did we luck out, last min stay and got a site RIGHT on the water! Site 10. Worth every penny, great little hikes and wonderful spaces.

I have family in Bremerton and my wife and I stay here in our little 16 foot camper. 

I love how tucked away it is. Some campsites feel very remote as you can't see your neighbors at all while around a fire. But I settle for any of the sites. Even the ones that seem like you have a view of several other campers still gives you a feeling of your own site as apposed to campsites where you seem to share a stretch of grass.

It's the kind of campsite that all others try to be but don't quite get.  Very clean hook ups are very easy to get at. The trails are nice. Bathrooms are clean as are the showers. 

If I was to say there is an issue the only one I have is in the winter it is very dark. But it the Northwest its' suppose to be. 

Love it

Nice but busy campground. Spaces are fairly big. Not a lot of privacy but the spots are big enough so it was okay. Restrooms are as clean as they can be with people trekking in mud.

There are two sections to this small, tucked away campground on the edge of the Salish Sea, one in the forested area and another out on the beach spit. We camped along the spit, and had an amazing time. And even in the final days of summer, it was a lovely temperature to hang out for the week and we even got to see the Northern Lights one night!  One extra clear days, you can see Mt Rainier directly across the bay.  That incredible sight just never gets old.

The nearby towns of Port Townsend, Port Hadlock and Chimicum have most of the things you might be looking for in terms of groceries, eateries, and entertainment.  Definitely put Finn River Farm & Cidery on your must-do list while you are here.  So much fun...great food, great cider, fun atmosphere, live music!

The sites down on the spit are first-come first-served, with 4 tightly packed together near the single vault toilet and fresh water tap, with several more further down the spit.  The sites all had a grassy spot, picnic table and fire ring.  As this is also a county park, there’s lots of vehicle and walking traffic but it is all deserted by sundown. It’s very quiet at night unless you have some rowdy neighbors, but we rarely had neighbors except on the weekend nights.  Met some nice locals who come to camp on weekends.

Across the canal there’s a naval armory which plays the National Anthem at 8 am and Taps at 8 pm, so enjoy that nice touch. We had great solar accessibility and phone service as well as an unobstructed view for satellite internet. Up in the forested campground (Upper Oak Bay) there is less solar access, and a lot more trees, but feel more like a campground.

This is a great tide pooling and bird watching area, with great opportunities to put the kayaks, or paddle boards in the water for a short trip. While street walking is easy here, situated in a residential area, more significant hiking is a drive away. We went to Fort Worden State Historic Park to get in some miles- lot’s of history there. Olympic National Park is also within an hour’s drive. Road cycling is pretty good in the area, but be aware of the narrow lanes and heavy traffic. We bounced over to Marrowstone Island to get away from traffic and have a wander by bike.

We did not have a reservation but got a spot. Quiet sites and little beach for kids to explore. Hot showers and bathrooms are clean

Had the whole park to our selves. Beautiful old growth forest with a river.

Jan 24-26, 2025 We went for a winter meet-up with my local teardrop trailer group. As mentioned in other reviews, the beach campground is very open with little privacy between spots, but there is quite a bit of space. The first night there were a few gusts of wind that shook the trailer, but it died down. The second night there was no wind. We had beautifully clear skies and little light pollution so it was really nice for stargazing. There are two gun batteries right next to the campground and a trail right out to the beach. You are also close to the Point Wilson Lighthouse. Even in winter, the park was busy with people during the day and the campground was full. There is so much to explore, I wish I'd had more time there.

This was wonderful in terms of a car campground. The sites are all secluded and tucked into the woods. The beach access, though, small offers standard gorgeous PNW views. And the day area was nice to explore. Few other campers but I barely saw them. Enjoyed my stay.

We decided to check this camp ground out after our friends had stayed there. Nice wooded campground with access to the water. Plenty of opportunities for day hikes and not far from port orchard Washington. Some sites have hookups and others are dry camping. Most spots are level. The shower house restrooms are very clean . Firewood is available for purchase.

I thought it was quaint. Only one other camper, which is always nice. I don’t think I’d camp here peak season due to the potential congestion. Trails were pleasant as were the shoreside views of the Sound.

Went over night on 12/9. There were only a few other campers, which is always nice. Can’t imagine camping here in peak season. Rangers circled frequently. Walk to the beach has housing complexes in view.

There is a trail that leads down to the water or you can hop in your car for a short drive. We did a walk up site and checked in late, the bathrooms were locked due to it being the off season. We had to stop in at the park station and ask the person working for the bathroom code. Peaceful and very pretty trees.
