Easily accessible
I 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.

So far, seems good.
I’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

Stay Away
This owner/management group being only concerned about money!!! Our family had a very big camping trip this Summer where we had 37 reservations to make. After making all the reservations I realized I was off by a couple of days. I made these reservations 3 months in advance. To correct the mistake I contacted two of the hosts a couple days after making the original reservation. One host simply changed my reservation to the new dates. This host charged me 67.50 for changing the reservation by one day; it was still 3 1/2 months before the stay. I accepted it because it was my mistake. My son then dislocated his knee and so we had to cancel our Summer plans. I contacted this host to explain the situation and instead of giving me a full refund, like the rest of the 36 hosts, they charged me 91.50 for cancelling 7 weeks prior to the stay. I contacted the host to explain my situation and that all others had provided a full refund and asked if they would give me a full refund because of my son's injury; they refused. I think this speaks volume for whom these individuals are and what they care about. I informed them I would be making sure I used every social media outlet to warn others about their very unfair and unethical business practices.

Pretty...
This 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.

Peaceful among the trees
You 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.

Great Coastal Views & Beach Walks
Great 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.

Deception Pass State Park Campground
Pretty, Forested, Clean Rest Rooms
Three main camping areas separated along Route 20. Each has hiking trails through the trees... many have views of the water. Clean rest rooms in our area. Showers require tokens... inquiry upon entry. Asphalt roads with compacted dirt pads. See website for length of level pad. We stayed in RV in site without hook-ups. Fighter jet noise on a Monday morning during our stay. Be prepared for rain.

Nice State Park
Only 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.
