"Nice little camping spot close to Hoodsport and hiking at Olympic National Park. I stayed in a spot with full hookups and have a 22’ travel trailer."
"The sites closer to the back of the campground (where we were) are far away from the road so you can't really hear highway noise at all."
$12 - $50 / night
"It was nearly full but manageable. My one complaint would be the off leash dogs that happen to run around a couple of times through the weekend.
Site sells Ice and Firewood ($6 a bundle)."
"Location was clean, easy to access and feels like a world away from the busy cities close by."
$24 / night
"Lovely views on the way of Lake Cushman and the local old-growth forests."
"One of the prettiest lakes in Washington. Can get pretty busy in the summer but mostly empty otherwise. Little to no cell service. lots of options for camping and backroads all around."
"As a child we camped at a lake near by so decided to check this out. Enjoyed the walk around the pond with the kids. I did need bug spray because of large amounts of mosquitoes."
"Some spots are on the river some are tucked back in the woods, pottable water available at 2 locations in camp. 2 sets of vaulted toilets. $14 per day fee."
$20 / night
"Near Lake Cushman and not far out of Hoodsport off Highway 101, this easily accessible campground is away from the summer craziness that afflicts so many campgrounds in the Olympics."
"It is both close to Lake Cushman and close to town. It’s clean and easy drive through."
$12 - $50 / night
"Often our first or last trip of the year, due to its proximity to the greater Seattle area. Most of the folks we meet are from western Washington. "
"On the water of the Hood Canal, it offered more family activities than many of the parks around. The campground itself is situated close to the water with several loops, tightly packed together."
$12 - $50 / night
"The grounds are well-maintained with easy access to some hiking trails that are easy to moderate in difficulty."
"Dump station close by worked great on exit. Wooded with ferns. Rain was nice to enjoy through the windows."
"Easy access to all of Olympic. Gorgeous views! Pristine lake. Rope swing, volleyball courts, hiking trail circles the lake. Waking up to fantastic lake/mountain views every day was beyond words."
"Who doesn't love Lake Cushman?
For camping, there aren't many other options, but this place is alright. RV sites were very popular, but we had the walk-in tent sites to ourselves."
$54 - $68 / night

This is a nice resort with everything you need."

"We love this area of Washington!"
GuideThis is our all time favorite campground. Phone service is non-existent and we had att Verizon cricket and straight talk but it does have free WiFi. Only downside is we can't get our big camper in there and have to use our small one. It is the place we go to camp since we're full timers we have stayed some of all 12 months and many of the sites
ScoutWe enjoyed our stay at Millersylvania. It’s a beautiful place. We purchased firewood from the Boy Scout troop here for $6/bundle. The only downside for us is that it is really crowded, and a few dogs and some very rude people kept us up until about 1 am.
ScoutMy friend and I met here and had plenty of room for my truck, 21' trailer, and a lost woman who we let pull in and sleep. It was so large that we could have added a few more vehicles. The road wasn't bad. There were blackberry plants all over the place. There was, unfortunately, a lot of trash and no Verizon service.
ScoutIt’s ok. Again. A little catfished. Was here for two nights. Quiet at night Campground full of kids if that’s your thing! Bathrooms clean and everyone is friendly! It’s beautiful
TravelerStayed at Kitsap Memorial Park past few days. Very quiet area, lots of room on site 9, walked to beach area. Bathrooms for camping have code, cleaned frequently. 5G service was fast. Very nice place.
LegendThis has been one of my favorite state parks in the area for camping. The facilities are spotless, campsites and spacious and private (upper loop) and it’s very quiet. Lower loop campsites are very close together and have no privacy, but are closer to the main meadow and trail to the beach. We stayed in the upper forested loop and much preferred it. Staff was super friendly and helpful as well!
ScoutNo restroom for lower sites close to water. You have to walk up the campground road which is too far when you "have to go". We thought there was a shortcut trail but it didn't go through to the lower road - it ends in a private campsite.
The most challenging part of this Campground is trying to fit more than one tent in a site. There are designated tent camping pads, likely because it's a rocky area that they've had to clear for tents. You can pretty much squeeze two tents in there together for single campers but if you're a family or there are three or more friends in your group you're not going to be able to fit your tents without getting two sites. Since this is the first come first serve Campground, which we absolutely need more of in this state, it's up to the luck of the drive whether you'll find two sites together. If I had to ask for improvements I would say at a restroom to the lower loop by the Waterfront sites and try to increase the flat ground area in each site to be able to add everyone's tents.
Now with that out of the way, I camp here every year and have had varying experiences from Super peaceful amazing weekends with lots of wildlife sightings to full-on middle of the night domestic abuse happening in the campground with no police or host intervention. For 2025 I would say we had the best and friendliest host who made sure to come over and introduce us and let us know what was up in the area and which weeds to watch out for that were either toxic to human or dogs. The sites were really in great shape, cleared of obnoxious weeds & trash and probably the cleanest I've ever seen the bathrooms at this at this campground.
ScoutWe just stayed Aug 11-14, 2025 in sites 21 and 22. I only got pictures of site 22. Each of the sites has enough parking for a single vehicle, a picnic style table that is immovable, and a tent pad limited to 10' x 10'. There is also a dedicated cooking area and camp fire area but open flames were not permitted during our stay. Sadly, our tent was too large so we had to park sideways and place our tent in the parking spot. It's good we knew our neighbors because these 2 sites are VERY close to each other. They were also right next to the main road so you hear traffic all day and occasionally at night. It was OK but not sure for our family we'll reserve at this location again. If we didn't have a family or a large tent, it might have been more OK.
ScoutThis is our first trailer camping trip ever so we wanted to start small and close to home. We first arrived with only knowing the basic and Mike the grounds master was more than happy to help us park and hook up. He was super nice and answered all of our questions. The park is small but not crowded and had all the hook ups needed for our first camping trip! Highly recommend Mike and his park!
