James Island Marine State Park Campground

Great spot to take after crossing Rosario Strait in a Kayak. Dock is huge.... but several boaters forgot to seal things up at night, and the raccoons and other varmints had made an enormous mess overnight. If you leave it out, they will go for it. Did not bother us in the tents tho.

james is a small island in the San Juan Islands. It has a couple of camp sites, a dock to moor up to 6 boats and 2 pit toilets. The views on either side are outstanding. Beautiful views of Blake Island on one side and Mt. Baker framed on the other. There are hiking trails, beautiful bluffs to view sunrise and sunset. The area isn’t super level, perfect spot to hammock camp. Only accessible by water. There are picnic tables. There is good kayaking landing spots on both sides of the island with the typical pebble beaches found in this area. Your Chaco’s WILL fill up quickly.
