Weird but doable
Small state park. The water at sunset is super pretty, can't beat that and it's only a five minute walk from the campsites. It's kinda unsettling though seeing signs that it's a high theft area.
Some of the campers here are pretty peculiar tbh. One guy kept yelling at his dogs for doing dog things and there was another family making being absolutely obnoxious and cussing after talk (thankfully they were right next to my site 🙃). Sites are really close together with no privacy. But they're clean and fit small tents pretty well.
Planes fly by constantly but if you have noisy neighbors it's kind of nice haha Bathrooms are super clean and there are 3 showers, also really clean. Host seemed chill.
Functionally it's a good campground. People just make it kinda weird.
Great state park on the bay for airplane lovers!!
Staying two nights in the "preferred" #17 campsite. Parking was wide enough to fit my RV and my son's big Panel Truck. Pay showers ($1 for 3 minutes) and clean restroom with air dryer, pet friendly, lots of trails to hike and a beautiful beach area with a playground, seasonal/weekend snack shop, outdoor shower by the beach and full-time host. We paid $37 (+10 for extra vehicle) for one of the few "camper preferred" sites, but the normal rate is $25 (least preferred site) and $32 (average preference)and the only difference in the sites appears to be where in the campground they are located. We were at the end of the campground next to the camp host and a disabled access site, directly across from the showers. Great cell coverage for my T-Mobile plan. ***Commercial jets landing at Sea-Tac fly directly above us at a low altitude and are VERY loud and VERY frequent (every 3-5 minutes), so if you don't mind the noise, or LOVE airplanes (like we do), this is an Awesome campground!!!

Great spot near Seattle
We needed a place to stay with our camper van for a night before flying out of Seattle and it was perfect. Amenities were clean and fully functional. Nice people around and small spaces but very calm and quiet
