Best Time to Camp at Spencer Spit State Park

Plan your visit with the island's microclimates in mind: beachside sites offer unobstructed views and refreshing breezes but can be windswept, while forest campsites provide natural shelter and a cozier feel. Spring visitors should come prepared for muddy trails after rainfall, and remember that Lopez Island runs on ferry time—build in flexibility for boat schedules and stock up on supplies before arriving, as island services are limited.

Good wildlife viewing, tides and paddling; milder crowds than summer make it appealing.

Planning Tips

    About Spencer Spit State Park

    Discover Spencer Spit State Park, where a dramatic sandy finger reaches into Lopez Sound, creating a camper's paradise of beach and forest. This Lopez Island gem invites you to pitch your tent among towering evergreens or closer to driftwood-lined shores, where the rhythm of tides and the calls of seabirds become your daily soundtrack.
    Spencer Spit offers a mix of drive-in tent and RV campsites in forested uplands plus several marine/beach-front sites on the spit; group sites are also mentioned by visitors.
