Camano Island State Park Campground
About
State Park
Close to Seattle but a world away, Camano Island Camping offers a mellow, less bustling, but equally friendly alternative to its busier neighbor, Cama Beach State Park.
Forest loop trails provide cool, tranquil hiking, while shoreline strolls offer birding, shell and rock exploration and sweeping views of Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier.
Are you happiest in or on the water? Go boating, crabbing, saltwater fishing and sailboarding in Saratoga Passage. Curious about the restored 1930's fishing resort at Cama Beach? Hike the 1-mile trail to check out this neighboring state park.
After a fun day exploring the trails or cavorting in the water, you will probably want to kick back in your forested cabin, pitch your tent or get cozy in your RV. There, you can cook up the delicious crab you have caught, or your dinner of choice, and enjoy a bit of sublime R and R before heading back to the world.

TravelerGroup Camp Stay
We stayed with several families at the group site with a mixture of trailers, tents, and tents on cars. The trailers ranged in size from 22’ to 36’ and we found ample space for each.
This site has close access to the bathrooms shared with those staying in the cabins. Peekaboo views of the water between the trees.
The site has several campsites that branch off of the road through the site which is also a trail. It has a central gravel area for a large group or trailers next to a large field area. There is no kitchen shelter, just picnic tables, fire pits, and a grill.
The site feels very private but you have people passing on the trail/road, which runs through the middle of camp, at regular intervals.
The park is full of steep hills which can make those with mobility challenges or kids wanting to ride bikes tough. The road to the beach is very steep.
Bring bug spray as mosquitoes were vicious as well as the yellow jackets.

RangerNice trails, decent location for winter campinf
The sites at this campground are pretty close together but you can find a few that have some foliage in between. Luckily since we went during the winter we were able to find a spot without neighbors. In the summer I’m sure it is packed and you’d be very close to everyone.
The campground is close to lots of great trails. The beach is a short walk away and has nice picnic areas and super clean bathrooms. Firewood is available for purchase for $7/bundle. The camp host, Marshall, was very friendly and helpful during our stay.
The one complaint was the dump station was closed and the winter water spigot was not working well, neither of which was reflected on the state park website. Fortunately we were able to use the winter water spigot, it just took a long time and sprayed water everywhere because it had been broken and they were still working on repairs.
There are some sites with beautiful views of the water (7-10 I believe), which I would recommend if you can get them. Overall, nice campground.
