Camano Island State Park, Camano
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 long 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. Once settled, families can enjoy hiking, searching for wildlife and fishing.
Nearby Cama Beach State Park is open for day use, with 15 miles of hiking trails and a cute café where you can stop for lunch on the weekend.
