The camp spots were very close together with not much privacy, a lot of spots just had a log to divide it from the next spot over. Luckily there wasn't many people there so no one was next to us. Campfires were not allowed due to burn restrictions so that was kind of bummer but no one's fault. The restrooms had running water and were super clean so that was nice too! As far as a state park goes however this one was kind of lacking. It is literally right off a major highway near an industrial area . Super noisy from the highway at all times even throughout the night. There were also people walking around super late at night which kind of creeped me out. Probably just using the restroom, but still, flashlights were shown on my tent several times, it was uncomfortable. That's not the campsites fault however. Overall an OK place to spend a night on a long roadtrip. There were yellow jackets everywhere too, it was really difficult to feed the doggos without getting attacked .
There were SO MANY available campsites when we got there. About mid afternoon. The ranger was super friendly and welcoming! The bathrooms were nice and had showers that require tokens that you can buy with your site at check in. The sites vary in size and shape but most of them are decently private/ spaced apart. The site next to us never got booked, probably because it was small, but it was nice for us because it was only a few bushes away. Sites include a picnic table and fire ring with grill grate . There was a trail to the beach not far from us and it was super nice. Although there are plenty of signs that require dogs to be on leashes most people did not adhere to those rules, so keep an eye out if you're bringing the doggos. Very family friendly, very cozy, very nice stay!
The campsites are extremely close together, tent camping along the outer edge and RVs in the middle row. The ranger office is only open from 2-4 so outside of that time you have to do self reservations, which turned out to be problemsome for our neighbor camper. He put the wrong site on his reservation slip, or tacked it to the wrong site, I don't know. But it ended up with him confronting us, confused, that we were in his camp after another group mistakingly bought his campsite earlier in the day. The RV people across from us were adamant about keeping his spot for him, which was nice for him, but they weren't very kind about it. The bathrooms were really nice and showers were included. The short trail to the beach was also nice. Overall an okay stay, it was really just the unfriendliness of other campers that harshed our vibe. Oh yeah and also the traffic right next to the campground + a very loud train that goes through at 2AM might dampen the mood as well. I would say don't stay here and just go another half hour to deception pass- MUCH better experience there .
This is a DNR land campground that requires a Discover Pass to stay, but you can buy a day or year pass online and just post your info on a paper in your dash. The sites are decently secluded from one another, some more than others. We got there around 2:30pm and had a bunch to choose from but by 7:30 they seemed to be full. We stayed 2 nights and although it's close to the road, there isn't much traffic noise at night, which was nice. I didn't think there were toilets, so the vault toilets were a plus, but they were absolutely disgusting & without toilet paper. The stream was a short walk down a trail right next to our site and my husband almost caught a salmon with his bare hands, it was the highlight of his stay for sure ! Sites include a picnic table and fire ring. Everyone at this site was super quiet so probably not the right place for party campers. We did hear a lot of gunshots nearby which was a little concerning since we had our doggos with us but with the Olympic national forest right there, it wasn't super surprising. Overall great place to camp on a roadtrip!
