This is a wonderful campsite to take your family to. I went with my partner and her family and we had a great time! Lots of trails to walk and there is a river that you "could" technically kyak down if the river is high enough. It says it's not recommended but it defiantly looked like it was possible. I highly recommend bringing something like a volleyball net or something because there are lots of kids and my aunt basically had half of the camps kids having a blast playing volleyball! Dog friendly!

This was my first time being here, and we drove from Seattle early in the morning to go clamps digging here. The state park is so spacious and clean than I expected, and there are many restrooms right across the entrance to the parking. We got some beautiful and delicious oysters, clams, and mussels. The whole experience was great and memorable. If you have kids and want them to have some great recreational activities, you can take them here for a walk while digging some clams. All you need is a clam shovel or specialized tube (clam gun) and most importantly is your clam licence. Please check the weather and tide information before coming and after all please enjoy your moment

Beautiful park with cabins & some are heated. Very peaceful. They just added new shower building with 8 to 10 private shower rooms, Due to open by April 1st or sooner. This is 1 of the best parks we have visited & stayed at, It have a lot to offer for the Visitor or Camper. This would be a great model of what a WA State Park should be like.

Kimberly Debar | Jan 1, 2021

The most amazing close bridge is about 200 yards behind the outhouse in the old group camp. There is a trail head parking there, and if you contact the park for reservations they can advise you better
