""Firstly, I just have to say what a positive and amazing experience I had at this campground. The volunteers were friendly, kind and absolutely awesome to interact with."

". #2, #3, #4 are IMO best after that as they move away from the beach and then curve around in ascending order.
Some neighbor noise, sites are close, but was not busy."

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!
GuideChecked in here after 3 weeks of travelling, before giving our rental back. The owners just seemed to glare at me on check in, were not friendly and were the only place in our travels to take a copy of our ID. They were not welcoming and we felt that they didn't want tourists there. The site is 90% residents with them taking up all the lakeside spots. Travellers get the sites by the road. There were only 6 full hook ups with the rest being dry sites. This felt like a Butlins holiday camp to us and would not recommend unless you're coming for the lake, which I admit, is very pretty. The owners don't respond to email correspondence either. After our book in experience, I didn't feel comfortable in attending to ask to cancel our last night so emailed them, as equally the office was shut, but alas I am still awaiting a response. I didn't want this site to be the end of our amazing trip so booked into a stunning hotel for our last night.
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
GuideThis has been well thought out with the play parks. It really is a lovely site but limited for large RV's. You can hear the road from the RV sites but weirdly it didn't disturb us. The bay area is pretty.
ScoutYou must be an Escapees member to stay here and reservations are recommended. There are FHU and partial HU options. Hiking, shopping and biking trails are all within walking or biking distance. The public transportation is free and is also a great option to extend your explorations. Shower and coin laundry facilities are in the clubhouse. There's also an exercise room, billiards room and craft room in the activity hall as well. Tons of flowers, I came during spring and the rhododendron and lilacs are heavenly, the irises have just started to bloom. And everyone is friendly. Very lovely place to visit.
GuideGreat coastal views and beach walks with lighthouse and pier access. Possibility to rent kayaks. Clean modern restrooms. Excellent hot showers. Paved level sites and most have good separation. Quiet. Highly recommend.
TravelerOnly had 2 night here, but it was quiet and very enjoyable. Spacious lots. No sewer at our site, but we did have electrical and water. Dump station close by worked great on exit. Wooded with ferns. Rain was nice to enjoy through the windows.
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.
