The Cove is located between the two small towns of Quilcene and Brinnon, nestled in a scenic area of Highway 101 that hugs the shore of the great fjord, Hood Canal and at the eastern edge of the Olympic Mountains. Within minutes there are marinas, three major rivers and clam and oyster beaches. Bring your kayaks, boats and scuba and fishing gear. Take in the annual ShrimpFest in Brinnon and the Quilcene Saturday Market, visit Whiteney Gardens & Nursery (a world reknowned rhododendren nursery) and the Quilcene History Museum. The ranger station in Quilcene offers detailed maps and information about the Olympic National Park and the Olympic National Forest and all of its many hiking trails. Camp Parsons is a mere mile from the park, making the Cove the closest, most convenient location for camping parents of the boy scouts...welcome!

Easy on/off from US 101 at SR 3 (Shelton). Pull-through RV Site can accommodate most RV lengths**. Electric and potable water hook-ups. Public RV dump site at Potlatch State Park - 14 miles.
17 mins to Hood Canal, 30 mins to Lake Cushman, 50 mins to the Staircase Entrance of Olympic National Park (33 miles). Perfect location for setting up camp with your RV, then taking your car up into the Olympics. Looking for dog-friendly hikes? Several Olympic National Forest and Skokomish Wilderness trails can be accessed from Lake Cushman, including Mt. Ellinor, Mt. Rose, and Mt. Washington.
When returning to camp, enjoy what our property has to offer. Of the 11 acres, 10 acres are comprised of a Cat II wetland, a Cat III wetland, and their associated buffers. A legal trail winds down to Mill Creek just 1/4 mile downstream from the outlet of Lake Isabella. Here the creek is wide and it is permissible to hand launch non-motorized vessels (eg, kayaks, canoes). The stretch of creek between our property and the lake is conservation land, and a beaver dam crosses the creek, but kayakers can usually navigate over the beaver dam and paddle into Lake Isabella. The lake is over 200 acres and boasts Lake Isabella State Park and a Dept of Fish and Wildlife public boat launch.
Our wetland is critical for maintaining local water quality and supporting the local shellfish industry; access is confined to the trail and creek access needs to be respectful and gentle. But if you pause for a moment or two along the trail or shoreline, you'll be rewarded as the local wildlife begin to stir from their hiding places. Song birds, rabbits, deer, voles -- yes. But also river otters, beavers, ducks, cormorants, and owls. Mountain lions and coyotes are possible, but we have not personally seen these. Salmon do run Mill Creek, as well. Dogs are permitted on the trail during summer, fall, and winter if leashed but should stay up near the RV site during spring to avoid disturbing nesting wildlife.
Back at the RV site, there is a picnic table for outdoor cookouts (propane stoves are permissible). Inside the driveway circle is a large propane fire pit with half-moon seating on either side - perfect for roasting S'mores late into the evening. The majority of our outdoor lighting shuts down at midnight to allow for stargazing in a region remote from city lights.
A 1-bed, 1-bath cottage is currently under construction, tucked into a cove of maple, hemlock, and alder. Availability expected in spring 2025.
With just a single RV site, our nearest neighbor several acres away, and only State and County land between us and Hwy 101, you can expect a private stay in a forested setting with easy freeway access on one side of the property and an idyllic private creekside nature preserve on the other. We welcome you to share this place we call home.
In omnibus rebus serviunt Terrae, non homini.
** Larger RV's would back-in to avoid the tear-drop curve at the end of the driveway (please see photos). Driveway entrance is 22' wide, first curve is 18' wide and gradual, leading to RV site if pulling-in/backing-out -- best option for Class A's. Most Class C's and smaller will find it easier to circle the entire driveway and use the site as a pull-through.

I normally try to stay away from RV parks as a tent person but this little private park surprised me. They don’t really have the daily changing business but rather long term RVers. Therefore, it’s pretty quiet despite a little road noise. Clean restrooms/showers (coin operated). The restaurant is not open because of the pandemic at the moment.

This RV park has full-hook up and dry camp sites for SKP members.
The location is a bit remote hence very quiet. I like that it's only about 10-12 minutes to Port Townsend, a bustling everything-you-could-possibly want hip town. Perfect for my tastes and needs. I dry camp which costs $7.50/nt.
Works for me!

This campground is about 45 minutes south of Quinault Lake in Olympic NP. So it adds a lot of extra time and miles to explore ONP. It is about 20 minutes to the beaches, which was great. You can drive your car right up onto the beach, which was awesome. The showers and laundry were very clean. Site were full hookups, but very close together. Sites are very close together with no privacy. There are many long-term RV's here. The area fronting the river is very well landscaped and offers fire rings, benches, grills, and a nature path to walk your dog.
LegendWonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets.
We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all.
Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.
Guide
A very small RV resort but very clean, helpful management on site but closely parked together. Full 50amp hookup. Close to Olympic National Park (Go early).
Scout
If you just need a place to sleep, then it will do. Set up, do your thing, and move on. They will squeeze you into any corner left - literally.
But to stay, no way. The place is too muddy, the laundry room and showers are little better than free public sites. If you have to be in Seattle there are not many options. That's how they get away with such dingy offerings. They just want your money: charge a lot for sites, hope you will buy something in the boutique, and they do not spend any of it on basic structure (like fixing broken roads)
The bird sanctuary adjacent is also a bug factory. One person claimed 'this is not camping'. That's right. It's a cheap way to travel. And for some migrant workers, a cheaper way to live. The park is full of old RV's, permanently parked.
The staff is annoyed to deal with customers.
If anyone should be able to set up a new RV park, customers would flock to it! They'd leave this dump in a heart beat!!
As my grandma used to say, 'all dressed up with a dirty neck'. In other words, first clean yourself up. The dress nicely. This place dresses up with cute signs - but underneath its falling apart.
Fix the roads and learn that your customers are your best asset. Be happy to greet them and care for them. That is the secret to a long term business.

Called and talked to the team at midway today inquiring about guests coming into town. They’re a long term only location with 6 months or more as the minimum stay. They recommend angle lake RV down the street which I’ll add to the app next. Nice staff at Midway if you need long term!
Guide
Clean bathrooms, shower had good water pressure. Good sized grassy patches between most sites and some pretty, old trees. Mountain scenery in the background is beautiful. Only complaint is the water pressure for the RV hookup seemed low. There also is very little privacy.
Scout
Good little camp ground on post with almost everything you need. It is in the wilderness, on the lake, but it is also fairly close to stores and gas stations. Long term max is 28 days per spot. All hookups available trash laundry showers bathrooms fire pits as well as grills all in each spot
Scout
This is definitely a RV resort, but there are 5or 6 tent camping sites under some big trees which provide shade almost all day. Nice bathroom and showers. Laundry, dog run, tv room, plus really friendly employees!!! Waterfront is right down the street. Costco, Home Depot, Albertsons and other shopping close by.
Legend
This is a large campground with all the of camping options. They have tent sites, platform tents, cabins and RV hookups. This is located on both the Hood Canal and the Dosewallips river. This provides lots of activities like hiking, fishing, clam digging and exploring. There are several camp sites located on the river. The campground is well maintained year round.
Ranger
Always drove by on our way to other campgrounds but decided to stay over. Day use area is on the Hood Canal and very nice. Campground borders a busy highway and traffic noise is bad. Some nice campsites in a wooded loop along a nice little creek for tenters. Rv hookup sites are close together. Might be better if you were camping with friends next to you.
Legend
Mike's Beach Resort has a campground located right on HWY 101. The highway is all that separates it from the canal. There are several RV hookup site all with fire pits. There aren't flushing toilets, just an it house. Over all it is a beautiful location. The camp office is just North of it further down hwy 101. The "resort" also has cabins and beach access.
Scout
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.
Traveler
Full hook up and amenities
ScoutVery close to Gig Harbor. Quiet, lots of trees, level gravel sites, and full hook ups available.
Recently purchased by Sun, who is making asthetic improvements.
Lots of full-timers, but no Pickett fences, wading pools, or excessive yard art.
Traveler
As the tide comes and goes, so does the water fowl. Nice campground, open sites, full hook ups
Scout
Most of the campsites her won’t accommodate a camper plus tow vehicle length of greater than about 30 feet maximum. For those tent, can or teardrop trailer camping, this is a great, clean place to camp especially because it’s First Come First Served and a ways away from the busier campgrounds to the West In Olympic National Park. No hookups but there’s water and you’re only about 6 miles from downtown Port Angeles. That’s close enough to drive for a coffee if you’re not very diehard of a camper. The sites are mostly shaded, the pull-ins are paved (but short). Hiking trails start right from the campground and Hurricane Ridge is 10 minutes up the mountain. Only complaint was some obnoxiously loud group pulling in at about 11PM and parking overnight in a closed campsite. Picture a couple of banks of bright truck mounted flood lamps and a midnight picnic for a group of starving kids on a Friday night. Of course they left early in the morning before the rangers arrive. But, pretty much could happen anywhere.
Scout
There are several long term campers here. The grounds are kept immaculate and they regularly update the sites. They hang wreaths for the winter holidays. Lawns mowed weekly.
All are level gravel. All have grass area, some with patio pad. There is a dog walk area and they are currently creating a dog fenced area at the end orf the two rows.
A caretaker is on site and will often help guide rigs into the sites (all are back-in).
Close to Poulsbo (a cute, Norwegian heritage town), Seattle ferry via Bainbridge Island and just over an hour to the Olympic National Park via the Hood Canal Bridge.
Ranger
Now I’m not one to camp in an RV but I honestly can say if I was going to sissy-camp with an RV it would be at Sequim Bay.
They have a beautiful facility with many public restrooms and showers, RV hookups for both power and water, and easy to park lots. They also offer tent camping lots if that would be a preferred route.
It’s a quick jaunt to the shoreline, either from conventional trails or a bit off the path if that’s what you like (which, obviously, I do!) and has a boat launch and docking space for public access. Fishing and shellfish harvesting is legal while in season and I gotta say the beaches really pulled through as we harvested our own meals for the entire trip!
We decided to go a bit too early for swimming, being only May, but we still managed to get some kids to try our floaters in the Bay. They came back frozen but happy, and the adults were glad for a bit of silence, I’m sure.
overall a great place to have a late Springtime adventure!
Traveler
Nice campground with all the amenities of a hotel. Full hook ups, showers, BBQ’s, games, hot tub, laundry facilities, game room with fireplace and pool table all with a beautiful view of the Hood Canal!
Scout
Mike and the ladies in the office just great people, very helpful and friendly
Small park, a little road noise but nothing that bothered us, will stay here again.
Had full hook up, everything worked as it should.
The store has a good stock of stuff.
Guide
RV sites 1, 2, 4, 9, and 11 will be easier to back in to. The other full hook up sites are 90° approaches. Very nice park for playground and a very nice venue building. A lot of picnic tables in the open and in the shade of trees.
Small rocky beach only accessable when the is not to high.
Amazing view from the beach of the Olympic Mountains.
Water pressure is low, averaging just over 20psi.
TravelerNew owners a/o January 2021. Make reservations in advance! Great place, peaceful, lots of trees. All types of site- large, small, full hook ups (30&50) to rustic, small tent area. Water pressure challenges on hill, WiFi ok/slow. New laundry room almost complete, small dog run, exterior dog bath, clean restrooms, very accommodating staff, 1st Friday movie night. Landscaping needs more improvement. Coming back next year. Close by stores, trails, parks, harbor. Tacoma across bridge (10 minutes - $6.25 toll).
GuideI travel in my rv to get away from the city life. Most KOAs are pretty cool. This one has to be the worst KOA I’ve ever stayed in. Packed in trailers like sardines. Your view is your neighbors sewer line. Run down spots, dead grass, mole hills, bathrooms are unclean. Right on a busy highway and you can hear it. I bought the “deluxe site” for 65$ a night!! No WiFi, no cable, nothing worked!! It is a nightmare of an RV park. I had originally booked for 6 nights and stayed for 1 and left because it was depressing.
Traveler
Well kept RV park. All the hook ups worked fine. Sites are close together. Owner was very helpful. Stayed for 4 nights while exploring Olympic National Park.
Guide
I live 5 miles from this park and am here all the time, just not for camping. I came for one night to do a shakeout in my new to me trailer. My husband came to be my second set of eyes as I set up camp and to entertain our kiddo while I made dinner. Then we drove him home since he had to work in the morning. Several reviews complain about the airplane noise overhead, but I live in Federal Way and cargo planes from JBLM often fly over my house so some commercial airlines don't bother me one bit. I was in a pull-through full hook-up site. I did not hook up the sewer hose however because the lid was broken and I would have had to find a large rock to hold my elbow in place. All in all, it's a nice campground and was quiet. I didn't even hear the cars on road.
