Plan Your Trips
Tips & Recommendations
- 1Bring a quality rainfly and waterproof ground cloth—the Pacific Northwest's maritime climate means moisture management matters more than extreme weather protection.
- 2Even summer mornings leave tents wet with dew.
- 3Test your tent's waterproofing before arrival, and pack extra tarps for gear storage outside your tent.
- 4For coastal sites like Kayak Point Park's wooded bluff, prepare for wind exposure near the shoreline and bring extra stakes for the soft forest floor.
