Very nice place
Stayed 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.

Lovely established campground
Nice clean bathrooms, showers, trails above the water, gorgeous views. Spendy, but has hook ups and all.

Clean and quiet
This 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!

Annual favorite but in need of two major improvements
No 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.

A cute spot for our trip!
This 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!

Seal Rock Campground
Great spot
Pulled up late on a Wednesday night and easily found a spot. Large campsites, well maintained, but close to road so if you’re a light sleeper you might want to try to find a spot a bit deeper.

WA is super host state
Stayed a night here and very impressed with the cleanliness and quality of the park. Highly recommend a WA state park. Bathrooms and showers were spotless.

Beautiful spot. Campgrounds facing the water are probably the nicest, but generally this is a really beautiful spot. Spacious sites, clean water, decent bathrooms.
