Reviews of Camano Island State Park (Park)

yelena gavrish

Very nice quiet place

Robin Baker

Clean and barnacle rocks on most of the ocean front

Shaun Spence

Great rocky beach. Kids had lots of little crabs to catch

M Clark

Did not stay here, just accidentally happened upon it while exploring. So... I cannot say to any amenities. Beautiful park. Lots of places around for exploring

misty burlew

Very beautiful place to visit whether you are alone or with people. Plenty of restrooms for families, nice beach access. There is also another entrance that is more of a grassy park with barbeque areas for picnics. Nice trails to walk along and explore. I happened to see a jellyfish washed up on the beach.

Egan Fo

This is a fantastic state park. Good amount of privacy with the RV pull through sites. The trails are easy to walk which border the campground. We'll be back for sure.

Alexandr Filenkov

We stayed at the camp area, which is well organized and clean. The bathrooms have showers and cleaned daily.

Cymantha Lou

Day use was nice. Campsites were ok. Many were small and not very level. We had a nice water view and privacy in 12

Wayne Smith

Big and beautiful

JEFF GORE

Great place on a warm sunny day

Bruce Crist

Beautiful views of the sound and surrounding islands. The "beaches" are rocky, with little or no sand. Restrooms are newer and well maintained. There are RV sites, but few are level and generally not larger rig friendly.

An amazing place for a weekend get away. Great spot to go camping! Also has 2 beach access places that are less than a 5 minute drive down to! Camping in also easy for people who have RVs or trailers. There is also places around for you to go fishing (requires a Discovery Pass, can be purchased at a local Fred Meyer or Cabellas). Lots of great hiking trails to go on too!

Ben

Had a family picnic at the park. Good hotdogs, hotdogs, brawts and beer

Tahane H

Beautiful but crowded.

Aaron Brandes

Well groomed and quiet. Lots of beach combing to do.

mama j

Beautiful and refreshing. Kids had a great time hiking around trails and looking for crabs on the beach. Storm rolled in and even that was beautiful and fun. Will be coming back soon.

Jesse Mcbride

They have really nice park benches. Would come again.

Matt Mead

Great place, good launch

Barbara Farrand

Beautiful place to hang out at the beach! New bathrooms are great with changing area etc.

Elaine 2me

I love this place! I took my children and now I take my grandchildren. You always see eagles n nothing more beautiful than when the sun goes down over the water!

Mike M

The forest hear is FULL of blackberries that you can pluck right off of the bush and eat! Western Washington is covered in blackberry bushes and they make a great hiking snack!

Brad Seibold

Very nice park

Justin Hylen

No hookups, but if you can boondock for the weekend, this was a great spot with fairly private spots and amazing views. We stayed in spot 17 in March and it was only $20 a night with the discover pass. Beach access is a 10 minute walk but well worth it. Picnic tables on the beach as well.

Allan Kay

Nice and quiet but some of the sites are steep.

Angel Gonzalez

Beauty island

Svetlana fenin

Ocean butterfly:) Love this place.... quiet and beautiful!

Marc Bell-Cruz

One of the better camping grounds we've camped in. Hiking trails abound including a quick one down to the Saratoga Passage. Ample bushes and trees around our campsite (and from what I saw, most campsites) made it feel separated enough from our neighbors. My only complaint is like all other camp sites on WA, it books up pretty fast. Also, don't forget your Discover Pass if you plan to visit even for just the day.

Kevin Huh

Beautiful park, beautiful view from a trail. Must have a discover pass.

Ava Sakowski

This is my all-time favorite park in the state of Washington. I am nostalgic of course having lived on Camano for almost 20 years. But it is beautiful great places for hiking , camping and just being with nature.

Pan Tami

Nice BBQ & RV Parking, nice for family outing!

Ryan Fredell

Great place but like much of Washington's hidden gems the masses have discovered it. Pretty busy.

Gary Knigge

Late season campouts are the best. There's less people and much quietier. Most of the campsites have little to no privacy. The park is well maintained.

Anthony Morin

Great place to visit. My wife and I stayed over night in the campground. The spot offers some hiking trails around the campground. The best part is the water access. Great for kayaking, paddleboarding, or anything else water related.

eva molina

Beautiful place fun with loved ones or friends!

Paul Boswell

Pretty nice camping facility. Nice, clean bathrooms. They appear to us tokens, though. Close and convenient for a quick getaway from the city!

Justin McClintock

Great little state park with wooded trails and rocky shores. Easy to get to and accessible with a Discovery Pass or $10 daily pass.

Jason Mills

Love Camano island state park! Lived there for four seasons in 2017. The best place to camp and have ocean front property! The Rangers are awesome and they have a great staff! Bathrooms are always clean!

Sara Fish

Fantastic state park with cabins you can rent right on the water. Used to be an old fishing lodge that the state took over and now is running. There are several trails that hike along the waterside and a restaurant on site well if you need a bite to eat.

Modeium

This is a beautiful and well taken care of park. The beach and the many trails will keep you coming back!

Laurie Webster

Nice place to let dogs walk a bit

jerrod rhynalds

Awesome park for tent camping and beach access. No rv hookups but still great. The cabins are nice and make a great getaway for a family. Lots of trails to explore and wildlife to see.

Crispedero

Beautiful park. Was bought and renovated by the public back in the day. If they try to make you pay, let them know the public already bought the land!

PM Cook

Good facilities, clean, relaxing!

Kathleen Smith

Oh my... Pulled into park and lower loop of campground totally unlevel and extremely hilly! Also, backing in near to impossible unless you enter loop going wrong way? Too much angle and not enough space to prevent jack knife! End of loop not much better but finally site 37 is partially level for my 18 foot trailer with enough space to back in. However... Restrooms were extremely clean, Aide, Hosts and Ranger Heather were very helpful and personable, Day use area at beach beautiful and Restrooms also immaculate. Sitting on beach, water smells of salt as an ocean should and view really comforting. Awesome park for Day Use

Saumil Shrivastava

Lovely place to spend outdoors

Vanessa Morse

Beautiful, loved the bluff lookouts!

Kimberly Noel

I want for the weekend this past week. Amazing. Words cannot describe the beauty of this island. We had a small miter home and stayed 2 night for only 50.00. Plus a second car driven with handy cap plate was not charged a separate few. It was so close to the beach and you could see the water from our camp sight. If your looking for a quick get away. Camano is the place to go. Thank you Comano Island State Park!

Taimur Kadri

Some views are stupendous. Nice Rocky beach.

ARA

Beautiful state park

MASON FOLVEN

Great day at the park with hubby. He is in josphene care facility and he gets a 4 hour window for outings. so our daughter and her fiance and our 1st Grandbaby went to the beach. Good day to know God has a plan for us all.

Daisy D

Great getaway from the hustle and bustle

julia196111

Not waterfront as advertised, bring your own wood it's expensive! No sign of the campground host the 4 nights we were there in August

Gorgeous waters and faciliries.

Matthew Matulovich

Forest and saltwater pretty fantastic

Hide your valuables when you visit here. Someone busted the window in my sister's car in broad daylight when she visited this park for less than an hour. They stole her purse and went on a spending spree with her credit cards.

Emily Dreher

Beautiful view and nice beach. It was ruined by small uneven campsites and rude neighbours. Toddlers and children were screaming for hours. Camp host did nothing and was no where to be found. Don't camp here!

Erich Barlow

Nice campground and a great place to take the family. Spent the weekend in a tent with 2 kids... found plenty to do and beach to walk on. Be prepared to do some stairs and walking... found plenty of space and time around the campfire. I'm looking forward to our return visit.

Nic Kefgen

Good place to go camping

Wandervans Campervans

Nice park with beach access. Can be a lot quieter than other San Juan islands. Nice camping in a peaceful setting in the trees. Could use a couple more trail options on longer trips.

Moroni Fernandez

The view at the beach was amazing and very peaceful super clear water. But the ambiance was quickly ruined due to how crowed the beach got. We got there at around 2pm and by 3pm the whole beach was taken over. Not worth the drive from Seattle. Just go to Alki Beach.

Kasey Lee

Beautiful views. Nice bike trails. The camping sites were clean. Loved it.

Judith Harmon

Beautiful beach, peaceful place to just go to relax

Jeanette Huntsman

Very nice and accommodating. Close by.

Ana Pat

Very well maintained and very nice spot for relaxing.

Alex Fadeev

Nice park by the water, frequently deserted and perfectly quiet

Darrell Livingston

No more public camping.. only by reservation now.. ugh

Brian Bradley

A nice cool day with my sweetheart, out taking pictures, looking for the elusive Bald Eagle. No luck today, we'll return another day for another try.

Robert Alberg

Camino Island State Park is a nice park to visit. Lots of good trails to walk on. I found the Al Emerson Nature Trail very interesting for a nature walk.

Ariel Sand

Beautiful place!

Alexis Romero

Beautiful area. Great camping and rock hunting.

Mandy

Beautiful beaches and super clean public non gender restrooms!!

Lisa K

Beautiful beach with a rocky shoreline. Spacious, clean restrooms. Picnic tables, large grassy area, 2 boat ramps, biking and hiking trails. We were there on a hot day and there was a lovely cool breeze coming in off the water.

Steven Means

The park is fun to hang out in, there are a Lot of trees and the beach has great access. Here's the bad part, our campsite smelled like sewage from the septic drain field, the individual sites where not flat so we rolled off our mattress at night, let alone the roots and uneven ground around our site. The camp host was rude and unhelpful. This campground could be the best around of they just updated and flattened the sites and cleared some of the underbrush to make the sites bigger.

Howard Wisner

My wife & I think this park is a true gem in the near-Seattle area. The drive into the park is great Northwest forest, abiut a mile of forest beauty, to the boat launch area. Lots of great water-side places near the boat ramp to just sit and observe miles of the Sound, the Olympics ... even the upper part of Mt Rainier on clear days. Weekends can be busy, but we always find a water-side spot even on busy days, and weekdays are amazingly light number of people, even on perfect days. It's a bit of a drive from I-5, but such a great escape of the city that we never regret.

Andew Howard

Camano Island state park. Always a good visit on a warm sunny day.

Daniel McQueen

Beautiful and peaceful place to camp. Just be sure to check out the site before booking. Some really done have great spots for tents

Very loud. Lots of screaming toddlers. Beautiful beach though.

Gia Teti

The Rangers are so friendly and helpful. The park itself is awesome and there's a lot to do! I highly recommend it!!!!

Michael Pierce

Family friendly woth a.stunning. iew of you choose the right campsites.

Joel Simpson

Trails are hard to follow, but beautiful and scenic and variety of flat and steep trails. Easy beach access and camping. Peaceful and quiet.

Max Gillespie

Nice view on the beach but the trails were not well marked and there was a house or another structure every few yards. Also, somewhat loud. Lastly, our reserved group campsite was double booked and we had to go take another 4-5 sites elsewhere in the park.

Benjamin Joseph

Went out to practice pulling our tribal canoe and had a blast. I enjoy being here for Canoe Practice.

Jamie T

Great place and view it was empty had a bbq that was awesome easy walk to the beach

Lorra Hoffman

Big park with lots to do

Luba Bushuyev

Nice and peaceful location. We were there on new year's day so it wasnt really crowded.

Max Maxfield

A lot of nice hiking trails! Beautiful park! The beach is a bit rocky for me but still nice on a beautiful summer day!

ElizaBeth Link

Great beach, picnic area. Well maintained.

Mathew Hellawell

A solid 1/5. Be prepared for huge groups on small camp spots spilling over into your side. Generators started at 6:30am. They let way too many people in and it's not pleasant at all. Otherwise it's beautiful. Lots of potential but the lack of regulation leaves chaos in its stead.

Allison Parker

Wonderful trail for walking

Ed Bishop

A beautiful place to picnic.

Sheri Gould

Had a great view and was a great place to camp. Plan on several more camping trips before the season is over.

Annette Wood

Best place for peace and quiet and views that blow your mind.

Chris Zondlo

Great views

Jessica Hinds

Beautiful trails amongst the trees as well as shores to enjoy the ocean

Todd Wendt

So beautiful

Farah Zehner

We camped out here and had so much fun. The trees, the ocean, the stars. So inlove! Will be back soon as possible

Brenda Brock

Beautiful and close to home to camp out.

SmellsLikeMeltingPlastic

Nice boat launch location. Use this launch and head just south of baby island and throw out some crab pots by the houses on the beach. You will eating Dungeness crab in no time!

Jennifer Smith

Well-appointed campground with a nice selection of short scenic trails. No bears. Good for a weekend getaway from Seattle.

Will Yates

Nice park. Go check out

Kyle W. Knouse

This State Park on beautiful Camano Island, is a true hidden gem.

Debra Kincaid

The view is never the same. Love to walk the beach

Great place to camp, launch a boat, or just hang out at the beach. Beautiful and lots of wildlife to be seen.

Sarah Strawn

Close to home, clean camping and a beautiful walk to the each.

Angela Tanis

Lovely park! Been a very long time since we had been here and we loved being back! Something for everyone! If your lucky you might even see whales swimming by! So neat!

Dan Reaume

JET NOISE!! My trip was ruined by incessant thunder from the military jets. They should be more responsible about where they fly over. In one day of hiking I heard (a guess) over 100 really loud jets. It was frequently a constant rumbling lasting several minutes at a time. Not why I went into the wilderness. Trip utterly destroyed.

Danielle Titland

Nice park!

Gregg Nilsson

New fee machine for parking and boat launch

Art by Rayleen Hall

One of my favorite hometown parks.

Michele White

Awesome clean facilities, complete with changing table and bench in each stall.

3rD eYe

I came for the scenery, I was not disappointed!

Raelene Hayes

A clean, relaxing park. Beautiful beach with lots of Driftwood and tons of picnic tables, I also saw one BBQ grill next to a picnic table on the beach. They have life vests available at a kiosk next to the beach parking lot. Several restrooms located throughout the park. As well as the beach, there are also several parking areas and pull offs located on the forested road, with trails that branch out into the forest. Beautiful park year round. Discover Pass required.

Lisa Johnson

Beautiful park. Best boat launch on the island. Killer sunsets.

Fayeleen Golden

This was an amazing place and my kids loved it!! Beautiful and very clean!

Rebecca Bourgault

Just beautiful. plus bathrooms are decent.

Adam1980

When on camano island no visit would be complete without a visit to this park. It's beautiful and well kept. Many hiking trails or walk on the beach. The camp grounds are all clean and laid out nicely. This is a nice relaxing place to visit and usually isn't so crowded as bigger city beach parks.

Cecile McVittie

Narrow roads, sites not very level, quiet, amphitheater, but not much else. Great for tenters, hikers, boaters. Not super expensive. Lots of water balloon litter on our site, which we cleaned up. Worried about birds eating them.

Marilene Richardson

Love it. It's a great place to enjoy the afternoon.

Quinn Johnson

Great place to go, especially to launch a boat and go crabbing, seeing whales, etc.

Joe Haskett

Fantastic older park, lots to do great views.

slinga mo

Beautiful scenery . Gorgeous vista's. Specious camp site.
