"Reviews are overwhelmingly positive: visitors praise scenic Puget Sound and mountain views, well-maintained trails, clean restrooms/showers, helpful park staff/hosts, and good beach and boating access. The shoreline is rocky, which some note is less suitable for swimming but excellent for marine-life exploration."

Best Time to Camp at Camano Island State Park

The lower loop campground welcomes visitors year-round, while the upper loop opens seasonally in May for warmer-weather camping. Plan ahead for winter visits: campground water shuts off from November 17, 2025 through April 2026, though you'll still find potable water at campsite #2 and the cabin/group camp restrooms. Boaters should note that the Lowell Point boat launch docks are removed for winter starting October 20 and won't return until spring 2026, so time your water adventures accordingly.

Summer(Jun-Aug)
4.0 / 5

Boating, kayaking, tidepooling and upper loop seasonal sites peak in summer.

Best
Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Cooler weather but excellent hiking and vistas; fall foliage and views remain attractive.

Spring(Mar-May)
3.0 / 5

Trails and wildlife are good; upper loop opens in May so early spring has limited campsite options.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
3.0 / 5

Lower loop open year-round, but services reduced (water off) and upper loop closed seasonally.

Planning Tips
  • Operating Season: Lower loop campsites are open year-round; upper loop campsites are seasonal (source text: 'upper loop campsites are open from May through S' — full end month not provided).
