    Meh

    The layout of this campground packs sites too close together. It feels more like tailgating in a parking lot than camping. Other than that, this park is pretty great. It's a very short walk to the beach and a stone's throw from Westport. It's even got some decent trails for hiking around a bit. The bathrooms are pretty standard fare for state Park bathrooms, however, the free showers were a great plus.

    Super great hosts and wonderful stay near the beach!

    James and Jordyn were so helpful and accommodating to any need that arose. The nearness of the trail to the beautiful beach was a huge plus. Super relaxing ...hope to return soon!

    Bad Situation Turned Out Terrific!

    We arrived at 10pm with 2 exhausted kids and someone had sniped our site! We went to the Campground Host and not only did they get us into an emergency spot (which was actually better) they gave my kiddos each a little toy. They even checked on us each day to make sure everything was going well in the new site.

    It's fine, but expensive

    Campgrounds nearby were closed, so had to come here. Price for all sites was $72 after tax in 2024. Has electric and water, limited wifi in campground. Took site 31. Sites were close together but luckily no neighbors for us. Lake is nice, Lake Crescent is much better if you're looking for a pretty lake to swim. Big Sitka spruce nearby. 31 sites total. Some cabins and whatnot available. Expensive camp store exists.

    Great campground

    We arrived without a reservation and were happy that the office was still open at 7pm on a Sunday. The staff was super friendly and we got a really nice spot in the area that has WiFi. The campground is great, in a little forest with plenty of space between the lots and very quiet. Clean facilities and they even have a little farm.

    Beautiful small campground

    We spent on great night here with friends. Awesome view of hood canal. Take a hike stroll on a rock beach right in front of you. 16 RV sites and a well maintained inn. All amenities are amazing. Nice showers and restrooms. Complementary WiFi and Verizon signal is great. This is our second stay and would return at some point for sure.

    Old Growth Forest near Olympia, Washington!

    Just 20 minutes south of Olympia, WA you can pull off I-5 and pitch a tent beneath towering old growth Douglas Fir and Hemlock trees. This stunning state park reminds us both of the kinds of campgrounds we frequented as kids. 

    Most of the campsites in the forest loops are small with limited parking and the narrow roads would not serve larger camper rigs. Our little 15 foot travel trailer made it in without any problem. The feeling of camping under the old-growth canopy is so classic Washington, but the solar gain is pretty minimal. Ironically, the electrical hookup sites, which more easily accommodate the big rigs, are out in a more cleared area where there would be solar gain for days. 

    We camped on the closest loop to the full-hook up RV area and were able to get our solar suitcase out into the sunshine on its extension cord for a few hours. The bathrooms in the forest loops are pretty simple ranging from pit toilets to flush varieties with showers. There is a more modern bathroom facility with nicely clean and refreshing showers near the larger RV field. Things to do in this park are abundant. The water is super chill, shallow and warm. 

    Only “cartop boats” are allowed in the lake, making it ideal for stand up paddle boards, small kayaking boats, inflatables, canoes, fishing dinghies and just swimming around.  Lightening storms in this part of the world are pretty rare, so very fun to see one over the lake while we were here.  The lake shore has some classic picnic shelters, built by the CCC, that are reservable, offer wood burning stoves, and lots of places to cook for a family get together. 

    Hiking and trailing running in the park is wonderful, and with all the loops your efforts can range from 30 min strolls to half-day hikes. The trails are well mapped, and signed making it nearly impossible to get lost. 

    Tumwater is about 10 miles away on country roads to the north, and Grand Mound is 10 or so miles to the south. Either of these communities provide the usual suburban supplies for groceries and restaurants. There are also some nearby convenience and general stores where you could pick up some ice and such. During the summer months the park has a small cafe and ice cream shop.

    Nice Site

    Clean sites, as advertised. Sites are dirt, so can get a little muddy in the wet season. Friendly staff - stayed over Thanksgiving, and were able to accommodate our check in, which was nice to find a campground actually open. Verizon and T-Mobile have relatively weak signal. Convenient location to Hoodsport and the National Forest/Park. Tolerable road noise.

    Nice, convenient spot

    This is a big park with plenty of tent and RV sites. Little expensive, but had clean showers and bathrooms, a grocery store right across the street, and walkable to the ocean. Only giving it 3 stars cause the guy who ran it was a lil rude to us.

    Unexpected great experience

    This was the first time that we had ever stayed at a KOA, so we were apprehensive. We were greeted by Karen who was so nice and helpful. Our firewood was delivered by Dennis, who was always helpful. We loved our site which offered privacy and close proximity to the trailhead to the beach which was fantastic. Karen set us up with"Clamming 101". We purchased the clamming package which had everything down to the wine and garlic to cook our intended bounty. At first I thought maybe it was wishful thinking, but we caught our limit. We purchased our license online at the campground. The WiFi worked pretty well overall. No complaints and nothing but compliments to the staff at this campground. We will be back!

    A stay

    The park geography is beautiful, trees and cool shade. If you are ok with spending a night or so with long term residents, then enjoy the geography. The long term residents were the predominant occupants and seemed quite, keeping to themselves predominantly. The restroom and showers in the back of the park could use some upgrades. The door to the building was worn and broken in the bottom which was big enough to potentially let a raccoon or similar in. The facility was clean but had the feel of a state run park rather than private. We would stay again if circumstances dictated, as they did this time, but wouldn’t go out of our way to do so.

    Site 202

    Stayed in site 202 in the RV section of the park. We had tents but enjoyed access to water and electricity. 202 is separate from the other camp sites which was great but can be downwind of the dump station and dumpsters. When the wind shifted it was bad. 202 also opens up to the main road entering the park. If you have small children or animals, I would not recommend this site for fear of them running into the street. This also resulted in a lot of campers thinking our site was a cut through and attempting to walk through our site at all hours. Upside was it was a short walk from our site to the lake, you don't have to walk through the rest of the campground but you do have to walk on the main road with no sidewalk. State park was clean and well maintained. Couldn't go 30 mins without seeing a park ranger or employee out and about. Lake was crowded from 11-5/6 but early mornings or late afternoon it really quieted down. Bathrooms by the RVs have the showers and a nice volleyball net set up. Would not recommend it if you are not kid friendly. This is a very kid friendly camp ground. Has a beer garden and snack shack but limited hours on those and rentals for the lake which was nice.

    Friendly Place

    We came in late and the owner/operator was very helpful and found us the last dry camping site available. The next day we moved into a different site on the property with a great view of the campground. Just a five minute walk from the beach.

    Solid campground

    Clean facilities, some nice perks like a beer garden and ice cream and the lake is great. You’re packed in pretty close to each other, but the trees provide pretty good insulation. We enjoyed our stay.

    Awesome hidden camping

    We had a little trouble finding this spot because an industrial area moved in around the campground.  Signs tell you where it is, but it feels wrong. If you follow signs to the campground, you won't be disappointed. 

    We met the owner and visited with her for a while about her business. Unfortunately, there are no tent spots available. But we were able to get an RV spot and had access to a very clean shower and restroom.

    Secluded and beautiful

    Sites were super clean and hidden away from your neighbors. All sites were close to restrooms and we didn't run into anyone on the beach. Would definitely go back.

    Great stay!

    This was a great place to get away for a few days! It’s close enough to both Seattle and Portland to make the drive fairly painless, and once we arrived, it was easy to set up in our stall. The full hookup sites were a great addition, and not having to worry about finding a separate dump station takes a lot of stress off our stay. The beach is beautiful, the weather was fairly nice, and the campground was chill. We also needed to get some work done, so it was nice having reception with T-Mobile to keep in touch while we were away. We look forward to having the opportunity to come back and visit more often!

    Great park right by the beach

    The park was beautiful and well maintained, the facilities were clean, and you’re just far enough from the ocean that the ocean breeze isn’t overwhelming at the campsites. It’s also quite popular and while there is a decent amount of foliage to separate you from your neighbors, you can still hear and see them.

    A Memorable Stay at the Park


    My spouse and I had a great time visiting the park, where we admired the recent improvements that made it look even more stunning. The waterfront sites remain our top pick, with the breathtaking sunset views and natural wildlife that surrounded us. Plus, the fires by the water added an extra touch of coziness to our stay.

    Really cute camp ground. Easy walk down to the beach. We were the only people on the whole beach. Super quiet place (may 3rd).
