“The features makes this campsite special”
Potlach State Park lies along beautiful Hood Canal, 40 miles from Olympia. This unassuming park has a welcoming campground in a thicket of trees, and its forested creek was recently restored for salmon health. Local elk herds roam through the area, and pileated woodpeckers are busy with their beaks, tapping out rhythms on the trees. And then there’s the beach. Before you head to Potlach, be sure to pack pails, shovels, duck-boots, crab pots, boats and the right licenses For shellfish harvesting, this park is truly where it’s at! Whether it’s oysters, crabs or clams that whet your appetite, you’ll find them here. At high tide or on windy days, visitors may also opt to wind surf, fly kites or kick back and watch others create a colorful show. Featuring clear, often calm waters, Potlach is a favorite with divers and kayakers, too. Seasonal Junior Ranger and kids’ educational programs make the park a magnet for families. Hikers, take note: some of the lushest hiking in the region can be found within a half hour’s drive, on four neighboring rivers. Plan an Olympic Peninsula adventure, and enjoy the fun and uniquely northwest experience that Potlatch has to offer.
Nice state park, very quiet and clean with lots of picnic tables and shaded area and with very good access to Hood canal, it's also pet friendly. It can get crowded at times as it's very accessible just right by Highway 101.
