Penrose Point State Park Campground

We really loved the forest setting of this park. There are great hammock trees at nearly every site. Overall, it's beautiful.  The bathrooms were just ok.  There's only 1 shower per bathroom, and you have to pay to make it work. One night, the meter in the men's shower was broken, so I had to take a cold shower.  Also, it's tokens, not quarters.  The hiking trails views onto the sound are nice as well.  I'm not sure if it was just our weekend, but the campground was kind of noisy and loud.  Rangers came around to make sure our fire was propane, but they didn't make any trips around to enforce quiet hours.  Still, we liked it and would come back again.

This was our first time at Penrose Point State Park. We are so fortunate to have so many State parks along the beaches of the Sound. Penrose Point is located across Carr Inlet from Gig Harbor and Fox Island. There are trails and beaches to explore. Lovely large campsites. No hookups available but isn't dry camping just taking us back to the purity of camping? There are showers and flush toilets. Nearby Joemma Beach State Park offers even more to explore with a wonderful dock for fishing, crabbing, loading your boat, or just watching the sea life in the waters below.

Tall old growth forest. The camp spots are all over a hill and valley. Nice water spots and hiking.
