1. How do I make a campsite reservation?

Reservations can be made here. Please remember, reservations can only be made at least 14 days in advance of your arrival date.

2. How do I know how many campsites are available if I don't have a reservation?

On-site park staff update our recorded information line 3 times a day during our busy camping season, with both campsite and boat trailer parking availability.  The number to call is 360-293-1927.

3. How many first-come, first-served campsites are there?

We have 25 first-come, first-served campsites, 19 that have water & electricity, and 6 that are non-utility sites.

4. How do I get one of the first-come, first-served campsites?

You will need to show up at the park and if the site is empty, put a camping unit (tent, RV, car) in the campsite and then pay for campsite at the pay station located near site B4.  Paying at the pay station without having a camping unit on a site does not guarantee a site is available.
