Best Campgrounds near Silverdale, WA

Several camping options surround Silverdale, Washington, with good choices within driving distance. Dosewallips State Park Campground in Brinnon gives campers both forest shade and Hood Canal beach access, which makes it busier during summer weekends. Dash Point State Park Campground over in Federal Way has larger campsites near the beach, but fills up quickly when school's out. Fort Casey Campground sits on Whidbey Island where campers can check out old military structures between trips to their tents. Summer brings the biggest crowds to these areas, so camping reservations are pretty much required from June through August. Deer and many types of birds live around these campgrounds, so keep your food locked up tight in your vehicle or storage containers. The weather stays fairly mild year-round, though you should pack rain gear no matter when you visit - especially from October through March. Try to book your sites at least a few weeks ahead for weekend trips, and even earlier for holiday weekends. You'll find both wooded sites and beach camping within reach of Silverdale, depending on how far you want to drive.
