Weather at Sequim Bay State Park

Best Time to Camp at Sequim Bay State Park

Summer brings the driest conditions, with temperatures typically between 60 and 75°F. This is prime time for boating, kayaking, and shellfish harvesting on the bay. Though you'll need to check Washington's current biotoxin closure maps before digging clams or oysters. The long daylight hours make evening beach walks and wildlife viewing practical. The park stays open year-round, but summer weekends (Memorial Day through Labor Day) fill up fast. Reserve early if you need hookups or want a waterfront spot.

About Sequim Bay State Park

Sequim Bay State Park spreads across 79 campsites on the shores of Sequim Bay, split between an upper loop with full RV hookups and a quieter lower loop closer to the water. The campground sits at 148 feet elevation near Sequim, Washington, where the Olympic Discovery Trail runs directly through the property. Highway 101 noise affects the upper sites, but the lower loop offers better privacy and bay access.

A mixed campground with full-hookup RV sites and dry/primitive loops, plus tent and walk-up bike/hike sites.

The park stays open year-round, but summer weekends (Memorial Day through Labor Day) fill up fast. Reserve early if you need hookups or want a waterfront spot.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a forested shoreline where Douglas firs and cedars shade the sites. Sequim Bay extends east from the lower loop, and the park maintains a boat launch and two docks for direct water access. The area sits in the Olympic rain shadow, which keeps the landscape drier than the surrounding region. From certain sites, you can see sailboats on the bay and distant mountain ridges. Trails near the campsites cross small creeks and pass through mixed forest.

Scenic ViewsBay views available from many lower-loop sites and select sites (several visitors specifically praised water and bay views); upper-loop sites are closer to the highway and generally have less privacy or scenic view.

Go if

Lower-loop tent campers, especially around site 80, get Douglas fir shade, bay views, dock access, and the Olympic Discovery Trail out the door. Summer is the sweet spot: dry weather, crabbing season, and evening walks along the water.

Skip if

Full-hookup RV sites land you in the upper loop, where Highway 101 runs loud enough that earplugs aren't optional. Narrow roads and cramped, uneven pads make big rigs a genuine hassle before you even unhitch.
