Beautiful, quite, peaceful great for families. We went with my sister and family all together there were five kids ages 7, 6, 3, 2, 9 months. They loves tossing rocks in the water flying kites and just running around. The cabins had kid books, board games, and the loved collecting sea shells. The trails fit our jogging stroller which was awesome. Waking up to see the bold eagles fishing in front of us was apsolutly amazing. Couldn't ask for a better family vacation.
It is a bit of a hike down to the beach and back. but well worth the trip. I enjoyed sitting on the breakwater eating an ice cream sandwich from the convenience store. Just the peace and quiet I needed. the view of Saratoga Passage was beautiful.
This park seems to have it all. It occupies a beautiful location on the Sound, has lots of hiking trails, a great little cafe, and waterside cabins to rent. We will definitely stay longer next time.
I especially like all the drift wood. It is a fun place to go alone or with others. Neat place to look for the "Glass Balls" during that time of the year.
We've heard about Cama Beach cabins for years and finally had a chance to experience it ourselves. We prefer tents by nature so this felt like pretty decent "glamping" to our small family of three including a 4 year old. Our waterfront cabin was basic: really nice microwave, refrigerator, sink, a double bed in a bedroom with door and another double bed in the living room space, and an electric heater that really kicked. We also augmented our kitchen by BBQing one night in a nearby fire pit. The kiddo really liked that. Bathrooms are in a separate building - about 300 yards from our cabin. I had my doubts about how the kiddo would respond but she didn't make a peep about it. We also treated ourselves to the onsite café. We were delightfully surprised at how good the food was. Kiddo loved her hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles. The staff working there were really inviting and friendly - definitely not what we were expecting from a weekend staff at a very popular spot.They do reservations in sort of a weird way. No online reservations which is kind of frustrating at first but believe me, the people who actually answer the phone and actually return your calls are really nice and patient! I think they said to allow reservations for less than 7 cabins maybe 9 months in advance? (I'm not certain about that)We also really appreciated the little store and craft program they had. On a blustery morning, the toy loan program that was just a really great idea followed by a free necklace-making class. There were so many materials that all three of us made a little keepsake. The only downside was that there was a wedding and a family reunion going on the weekend we were there. The noise travels down to the beach and it might annoy some people but we were perfectly fine with it. It was a celebration after all. They were very respectful and stopped the music at about 9pm or so... Also the shuttles from the parking lot work pretty well. You just call them from the parking lot and they'll come to pick you up. If you arrive at 7:30pm there are wheelbarrow/carts to help transport your things. It is really nice to be at a place where there are not random cars whizzing by at all hours of the night. Two thumbs up to whoever thought of that system. T
This 1939s fishing resort was built for the city folk to camp and fish for Salmon on Camano Island, about 90 miles north of Seattle. It has been restored to that era with some updates, but all the cabins are just the way they were when they were built. It also has the Center for Wooden Boats there and they rebuilt old wooden boats and rent them to the public. Altogether this is a great place to visit and rent a cabin where the fishing is great and there is lot of wildlife all around. There are lot of trails that you can walk around and see the wildlife, and you don't have to dodge cars to see all of this (but do watch for kids on bikes)A discover pass is required in all Washington State parks.
This is a wonderful place to visit or stay in one of their cabins. Sits right at the edge of the water. Plenty of hiking, fishing, etc. You can either walk down from the top or take a tram down. Beautiful views and sunsets. Need to get a Discovery pass from the ranger station or pay for daily parking.
The cabins were all alike and they were so close together. They were also tiny. But if you rented a few of them and had family there, it might be fun..
This is a great park, with cabins, walking areas and even a restaurant that is open on the weekends. Very educational as well, with boat building information, I love Cama Beach State Park and you will too.
We stayed in an ocean front cabin and had a fabulous time exploring this park and relaxing on the beach.Everyday there are crafts and/or ranger programs at the general store. The store has lots of books, games and sports equipment for loan (free). My kids met lot of other kids to play with and were never bored. This is a fabulous beach for flying kites. At night there are communal fire pits that turned out to be lots of fun too.I know we would have a great time if we went back again.It was much cooler in the evening and mornings than we had expected (great for sleeping). If you go pack some warm clothes.
