Bad Situation Turned Out Terrific!

We arrived at 10pm with 2 exhausted kids and someone had sniped our site! We went to the Campground Host and not only did they get us into an emergency spot (which was actually better) they gave my kiddos each a little toy. They even checked on us each day to make sure everything was going well in the new site.

Great campground

Friendly staff, clean sites and facilities, coin operated showers. This campground is located right on the hood canal which is filled with oysters beds. Many people were harvesting the delicacy. Town is 5 minutes down the road if you need something.

Perfect fall camping spot

I absolutely loved this campground. It has two very different loops: beach and tree. We stayed for 3 nights in the tree loop and it was so perfect. It rained a couple of nights but being surrounded by huge trees made it really cozy. Nice walking trails that follow creeks and go right along the sound. Playground, bath house, ice machines, ADA accessible sites with concrete pads around the fire pits. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great camping year round

Camping here was so much fun for my family. The kids spent most days playing in the river or at the beach. We had two camp sites next to each that helped my nieces and nephews be able to spread out.

On the shores of Hood Canal

This campground is located on the northern side of Hood Canal and offers some great views of the water. About half the sites are in the woods, although they are all pretty close together. Some of the larger sites, including the RV sites, are right next to the beach, and you can set up chairs and have a beautiful view. These sites have little, if any, vegetation to provide privacy. A mid-week visit in early May found lots of sites open. The grounds and bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. There is a lot of open lawn, especially in the day use area, which would be great in the busy summer months. You need a Discover Pass for day use. These are required at pretty much all county and state campgrounds in Washington State. Right now they cost $30 per year. There is one Washington Water Trails site available for people arriving by human-powered boats (kayaks). It's first-come, first-served, with a picnic table and fire ring.

Beautiful but busy

Very popular spot on the canal. Lots of pull through sites. Hook ups with dump station. Not to far from the cities and just outside of town.

Crowded

It is so close to the urban areas of Seattle and Tacoma that it becomes way too crowded. I have seen multiple families occupy one camp site. Camp sites are also real close together. Positive note, Hood Canal is right there so opportunity to get clams and oysters.

Great family park!

This park surprised us a lot. On the water of the Hood Canal, it offered more family activities than many of the parks around. The campground itself is situated close to the water with several loops, tightly packed together. You will be very close to your neighbor and every spot was filled. The bathrooms are newer and very clean and there weren’t signs of bears or wild animals in this park since it is close to the city. The parks main feature is the water where you can go play in the tide pools but it also has a giant field for other activities. We noticed a ton of locals came here for Sunday afternoon fun.

Been coming here since I was a little kid. they've done a lot with the common grounds to make it more family-friendly over the years. But the campsites are still the same which are amazing.

Memorial Day weekend site

This was our first camping trip of the season, for memorial day weekend. As first timers at this site, we were pleasantly surprised with the location and amenities. We had a tent site and had good shade/privacy. Would recommend a stay for those in WA looking for a nearby site!

Nice & quiet

Tent camped here mid week last August. There’s a beach loop for RVs and a woods loop for tents & smaller RVs. Overall pretty quiet, close to town, close to ATV trails & dog friendly. The kids loved the park! The beach was great, water is rather warm for in the sound, it’s also pretty shallow which is great for the kids to play in.

Quiet

Just having purchased the travel trailer we are going to travel the USA in, we decided to take a short trip and head to the nearest park. We live 7 miles down the road but I had never camped. We got there early, around 2:15 and checked in. Camp host was not enjoyable. (Perhaps a long day?) Made comments that came across as short. Not welcoming in any way. I dont believe he even introduced himself.

The site was clean. The hook ups were easy. Quiet. We went mod week, but the neighbors were basically un-heard. Very respectful neighbors. Dog friendly as long as they are leashed. Active park. Beautiful views along the water sites. Easy walking trail for sunrise or sunset walks.

Woodsy or waterfront?

Happened to snag a waterfront cancellation. Great beach loop. Two other loops were closed for construction and landscaping work. Remodeled woodsy sites are now smaller with curbs moved and new fencing and landscaping. Looks nice.

Fun on the Hood Canal

We camped here in a early September last year. We enjoyed being so close to the water for swimming and floating. It's also just a short drive into town to get supplies. I didn't like how the water stations were closed on one side of the park.

It did rain one of the mornings and ended up with a puddle under our text but it was the last day so no loss. I think next time I'll try and rent a cabin when I stay here
