"Located about two hours from any significant population base, accessible off of a (mostly) dirt forest service road, you'll marvel at the serenity of this idyllic campground."
"Tip: get your firewood BEFORE turning off highway 2. We were there three days and never saw a host. Drove to multiple campgrounds to see if the host was there and no such luck."
GuideThe park rangers are so nice and helpful it was like stepping back in time . The spaces are very private and spread out. Everything is clean including the bathrooms. I had a hot shower one day and a luke warm one the next. Watch out for stinging nettles on the paths to the river if wearing shorts. Very painful.
GuideHas a vault toilet and picnic table, first come first served
GuideThere are a ton of really great sites along this road, although most of the drive-in sites will be taken if it’s a busy weekend, so get there early!
GuideI love how easy it is to get to this campground from tacoma. The beach is great and the amenities are great! But it’s quite busy and loud.
GuideAccess road is right off the highway and unpaved, has a TON of holes so I wouldn’t recommend driving down it without good ground clearance. There are a number of established sites where you can pull off the road and drive back into the woods a bit. And I had cell service everywhere!
ScoutBe prepared for mosquitoes. But other than that very clean nice campsite.
ScoutI’ve until the last 2 years have been a Poulsbo resident over 40 years and over the course of time have been here many many times, be it individual sites-full hookup or most of the tent spaces for employment end of academic year
ScoutService road with no pull outs on side to set up. Further past pin drop, there is a large field. Will need a high clearance vehicle to get through. There is a dead end on loop, lots of trees down.
TravelerThis campground is remarkable in the privacy between each of the camping spots, the bird life, the wild and deep forest vibes, and the walking trails. The washroom and shower is kept clean, as is the rest of the campground.
