A Washington State Discover Pass ($30 annually) is required for day use at most state parks and campgrounds in the region. Many campgrounds near Silverdale maintain year-round operations, though facilities like Seal Rock Campground operate seasonally from May to September. Road noise can be an issue at some locations, particularly those near Highway 101 or other main routes. As one camper noted at Dosewallips State Park, "Highway traffic is pretty much nonexistent in the evening and night, and the entire camp was pretty quiet by 9 pm." Cell service varies significantly between locations, with most developed sites offering at least basic connectivity while more remote areas have limited or no service.

Waterfront sites at parks like Belfair State Park tend to fill quickly during summer months. A visitor observed, "If you can score a waterfront site, this campground earns the loyalty of everyone we meet there." Many campgrounds feature a mix of site types with varying privacy levels. At Scenic Beach State Park, campers appreciate "big spaces for tents tucked away from other campers" with beach access a short walk away. Site spacing is a common concern, with several reviewers noting proximity to neighboring campers. Illahee State Park strikes a balance, being "close enough to town for any necessities but far enough to get the secluded feeling." Most state parks offer clean facilities, fire rings, and picnic tables, with firewood often available for purchase on-site.
