Camano Island State Park
Heading north to Camano Island State Park is a great option for first-time campers or families with young kids who may not be up for a drive. Just shy of 90 minutes from the city, Camano offers the same stunning Puget Sound views and amenities found at many of the other campgrounds on our list. Select camping sites in the lower area if you plan to pitch a tent. RV campers will have better luck with campsites in the upper loop. One settled families can enjoy hiking, searching for wildlife and fishing.
Please note there are some closures at this Washington campground that may affecting family camping in 2024. The same holds true for nearby Cama Beach State Park, usually another great Washington campsite for Seattle families to consider.
