    Camano Island State Park Campground

    Group Camp Stay

    We stayed with several families at the group site with a mixture of trailers, tents, and tents on cars. The trailers ranged in size from 22’ to 36’ and we found ample space for each.

    This site has close access to the bathrooms shared with those staying in the cabins. Peekaboo views of the water between the trees.

    The site has several campsites that branch off of the road through the site which is also a trail. It has a central gravel area for a large group or trailers next to a large field area. There is no kitchen shelter, just picnic tables, fire pits, and a grill.

    The site feels very private but you have people passing on the trail/road, which runs through the middle of camp, at regular intervals.

    The park is full of steep hills which can make those with mobility challenges or kids wanting to ride bikes tough. The road to the beach is very steep.

    Bring bug spray as mosquitoes were vicious as well as the yellow jackets.

    Deception Pass State Park Campground

    Cozy campsites !

    There were SO MANY available campsites when we got there. About mid afternoon. The ranger was super friendly and welcoming! The bathrooms were nice and had showers that require tokens that you can buy with your site at check in. The sites vary in size and shape but most of them are decently private/ spaced apart. The site next to us never got booked, probably because it was small, but it was nice for us because it was only a few bushes away. Sites include a picnic table and fire ring with grill grate . There was a trail to the beach not far from us and it was super nice. Although there are plenty of signs that require dogs to be on leashes most people did not adhere to those rules, so keep an eye out if you're bringing the doggos. Very family friendly, very cozy, very nice stay!

    The cabins are a lot of fun!

    We typically visit the cabins here in the winter, so we don’t usually partake in the summer activities of swimming, boating, etc., but we do love coming here in the winter. The cabins are heated and have bunk beds, which makes for a cozy retreat into nature in the winter. The only reason that this spot did not get full stars is because the park has had transients hiking through the trails (which made for a scary 2 a.m. bathroom break).

    Belfair State Park Campground

    On the shores of Hood Canal

    This campground is located on the northern side of Hood Canal and offers some great views of the water. About half the sites are in the woods, although they are all pretty close together. Some of the larger sites, including the RV sites, are right next to the beach, and you can set up chairs and have a beautiful view. These sites have little, if any, vegetation to provide privacy. A mid-week visit in early May found lots of sites open. The grounds and bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. There is a lot of open lawn, especially in the day use area, which would be great in the busy summer months. You need a Discover Pass for day use. These are required at pretty much all county and state campgrounds in Washington State. Right now they cost $30 per year. There is one Washington Water Trails site available for people arriving by human-powered boats (kayaks). It's first-come, first-served, with a picnic table and fire ring.

    Camano Island State Park Campground

    Wonderful group site

    Stayed in the group site with my daughter’s American Heritage Girls troop. We had 22 girls and there was plenty of room. This is a huge group site. Has running water, a couple fire pits and a bunch of picnic tables. These are lots of level spots to pitch tents. The flush toilets and shower house are in the parking area for this site so really convenient. We drove down to the beach from the site but I’m pretty sure there is a trail if you wanted to walk. We had a great time!

    Beach Campground — Fort Worden Historical State Park

    Fun place to camp

    A quick ferry ride from Edmonds and less than an hour from Kingston. Very spacious campsites but zero privacy. Being close to the beach and trails was nice. So many places to explore around the old military fort. Also spent an afternoon in Port Townsend which is a fun little town. We will definitely be back.

    Lewis North Travel Camp - Joint Base Lewis McChord

    Great Military only campground for a New Year's eve trip

    Great campground that serves military exclusively. We made a next day reservation due to the weather and just wanted a night away. Unfortunately the restrooms right next to our site were closed so it was a slight walk to the nearest restroom. Restrooms were heated and well taken care of. Only some of the sites have fire rings (so make sure to ask when making your reservation). The Northwest Adventure Center had propane, a dump station, firewood and tons of others things you can buy to make the outdoors more fun. Super quiet area. Only 2 dogs allowed per reservation. No camp-wide wifi but we didn't care about that. Great AT&T cell service. You can hear the nearby trains passing by but we were used to that already so it didn't bother us. Camp Host was amazing and able to answer our questions. Definitely will visit again.

    Lovely little “cabins”

    Stayed here for a long weekend. Great location. Nice walking trails and beach access. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Pet friendly cabins is an extra bonus!

    Dosewallips State Park Campground

    Great Shrimping take off point

    We usually stay here during our annual shrimping trips. The site is in a valley so when heavy rainfall happens you will get muddy, swampy sites. During sunshine, the place is great.

    The campground has cabins, rustic shelters, and tent and rv site. The cabins are great for families and have a bunk bed and futon set up with a table set and even heaters.

    Bathrooms and showers on site, though showers will cost you. Sites are pretty open, though there are a few that are a bit hidden. Lots of areas to hike and explore, even a hidden waterfall a short drive away.

    Great for shrimping, clamming and oyster hunting.


Guide to Kingston

Several cabin camping options exist near Kingston, Washington, particularly along the Puget Sound shoreline and nearby islands. Most cabins in this area sit within forested state parks at elevations under 500 feet. Winter temperatures typically range from 35-45°F while summer averages 65-75°F, making cabin stays practical year-round despite the region's 35-40 inches of annual rainfall.

What to do

Beach exploration: Access shorelines directly from campsites at Fort Casey Campground, where guests can explore the Puget Sound coastline. "There are beaches to walk on and views of several Cascades peaks and the Olympic Range," notes one visitor, who adds that "this is a good spot to camp awaiting the ferry for the next day or you could walk on to explore Port Townsend which has a historical town center."

Military history: Tour historic fortifications at Fort Flagler Historical State Park Campground. Visitors can explore gun batteries and other military structures throughout the grounds. "From arriving to leaving it was a great experience. Beach front camping, old fort to explore, and endless outdoor opportunities," reports one camper, while another mentions that "we did the tour and it was very informative. Lots of history and there are even a few geocaches."

Wildlife viewing: Observe local fauna from designated viewing areas at state parks. Dosewallips State Park features specific spots for watching wildlife. "Every night, my husband and I would walk to the wildlife viewing platform to see lots of birds, or walk down by the river and see lots of elk and bald eagles," reports one visitor who stayed in a cabin at the park.

What campers like

Beach access: Direct shoreline proximity at Beach Campground — Fort Worden Historical State Park allows for easy water activities. "Great coastal views and beach walks with lighthouse and pier access. Possibility to rent kayaks," writes one reviewer, who also appreciates the "clean modern restrooms" and "excellent hot showers."

Family-friendly playgrounds: Dedicated play areas for children at several campgrounds. Fay Bainbridge Park offers "a pirate ship playground for the kids," according to one visitor. Another camper at Flowing Lake Park & Campground mentions that the "playground is awesome for little kids. Amazing play structure."

Hot showers: Token-operated shower facilities at Flowing Lake Park & Campground. Most cabin sites provide access to centralized shower buildings. "Central located bath house with pay showers," notes one camper, while others mention that tokens typically cost $0.50 for hot water showers at most locations in the area.

What you should know

Varying levels of privacy: Site layout differs significantly between campgrounds. At Kitsap Memorial State Park, one camper notes that "the camper spots are really close together," while another mentions that "the spots with hookups are SUPER close together." This contrasts with cabin sites at other locations that offer more separation.

Winter facilities: Some amenities close during off-season. At Deception Pass State Park Campground, "the only campground open in the winter at Deception Pass State Park is the Quarry Pond area," notes a visitor, adding that despite cold weather "the campground was far from empty during our stay."

Reservation requirements: Most cabins need advance booking. Particularly during summer months, cabins fill quickly. "It is a very popular site, even year round. Be sure to reserve your site well in advance," advises a Fort Casey visitor. Another camper notes that Flowing Lake "is very popular with the locals so it is important to reserve far in advance."

Tips for camping with families

Cabin amenities for children: Basic furniture makes family stays manageable. At Dosewallips State Park, visitors appreciate the cabin setup, with one noting: "We took my wife, six year old, one year old, and my dog and we all had a great time." Many cabins include basic sleeping arrangements suitable for families.

Seasonal considerations: Winter cabin stays can provide unique experiences for families. Flowing Lake Park offers cabins year-round, with one visitor stating: "We typically visit the cabins here in the winter, so we don't usually partake in the summer activities of swimming, boating, etc., but we do love coming here in the winter."

Beach accessibility: Child-friendly shorelines at Camano Island State Park Campground. "Easy walk to the beach for exploring, which made it a great spot for kids," writes one visitor. Another notes that the "campground and facilities were clean," making it suitable for family outings.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Choose cabin locations based on specific needs. At Fort Flagler, "campsites facing the water are probably the nicest," according to one visitor. Another RVer suggests that "avoid a site by the cabins or field, you will be disappointed. Choose a large site by the river" when staying at Dosewallips State Park.

Noise considerations: Aircraft sounds at certain locations. Due to nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, some campgrounds experience intermittent noise. At Fort Casey, one camper reports: "For over two hours, we were treated to intermittent but frequent LOUD jets flying close to the ground. We both had headaches and our dogs were upset."

Hookup availability: Utility options vary by cabin location. Many cabins have electric and water connections, but sewer hookups are less common. As one RVer at Kitsap Memorial notes, "We paid $20 for site 6. This is a standard site, meaning no hookups. Full hook up sites are available for more."
