Gaze out at the water and look for orcas, harbor seals, porpoises and gray whales. Look up to see eagles, herons, wrens, hummingbirds and owls swooping overhead.
You can purchase firewood from the camp host or several grocery stores located on Camano Island. Please choose only wood sourced from western Washington to help us protect our forests from invasive insects.
Interpretive programs for kids and adults are held every Saturday during the summer. Check the display board at the campground entrance to see program hours. Take part in stargazing, giant bubble-blowing on the beach, arts and crafts, and guided shore and forest strolls. Listen to intriguing talks at the amphitheater ranging from the whales of Puget Sound to how your old shirt can save a salmon.
