I went down to this campsite in September and honestly it was a great idea. There was next to nobody in the area, and it was pretty close to service. The road down to the site is pretty smooth, last 4 miles it turned into a dirt road with a lot of huge puddles after it rains, but not too bad. It had a bathroom and if I remember it cost $15 to stay. The long road it was on had a bunch of different campgrounds, so if it’s full you’ll be fine. There are also a couple trains next to the campsite. Overall pretty nice site, very calming and pretty.
This isn’t exactly a campsite, more so a spot people end up camping at, before a long hike. The hike up to the site was very simple and easy and the actual hike itself was beautiful. It was annoying that we had to hike up to the site itself, but it isn’t too long about an hour and a half. Overall, if you want something in between drive in camping and backpacking, this is it.
I stayed here this summer and it just never really stood out at all. It’s a great area to visit, but the park itself isn’t that great. Easton was an amazing place though, service, has a nice burger place and a gas station close by. The lake was beautiful, and if you kept going down past the first 2 parking lots, you find a really nice area that wasn’t too crowded. It was a great way to cool off from 110 degree weather.
It’s a nice little place, down on the hood canal, very cozy. We stayed down at a cabin and it was pretty empty, which was nice. The cabin was a bit older, but it has a charm to it, everyone had service there too. I’d recommend bringing a small boat out if you can, sunset on the hood canal was great, we saw some porpoises. Overall, I’d go back again if I wanted a quiet little getaway without the haste of camping.
The beach was definitely the best part about this campsite. The small pools of water with cool sea life were great. There are some trails nearby that were also very nice. My stay here was short, but I won’t forget it anytime, love the coast.
The experience was pretty good overall. The campsite was clean and the sites were large. It wasn’t crowded which is good considering half the campsite was flooded. But if you are ready for it to be very wet and very rainy, then it’s cool. There was a pit toilet near the trailheads outside the campground and it seems like there is some ranger station but it was closed down due to COVID. The trails down to the coast were nice, but just make sure you stay dry and warm.
The way up to the campsite was a bit rough, and as you’d think there is no service. But the campsite itself was very nice. I believe it was $12 a night and the campsite was pretty huge. The upper section was nice, but we stayed right by the lake in the lower area. Nobody actually stayed the night to camp with us over the 3 nights but a few people would come around between 11 and 5, but after or before that it was a beautiful lake to enjoy the day at. Overall great campsite, would visit again.
When we got to the campsite, it was just all filled up, this was definitely our fault (we came too late) but still sucked. We ended up driving a little further down the road and camping in some random spot. It was a nice little place, some sites were too close to each other but still had pretty good spacing.
