Cama Beach State Park is a great weekend getaway for the entire family, or a beautiful escape for a day.

Located on Camano Island north of Seattle, this is a perfect place to spot wildlife. Most days you’ll see a friendly Seal or a Bald Eagle in the trees (spot them by their white tails amongst all the green). If you do choose to spend the night, check out one of their many waterfront cabins. Accessible bathrooms are located near the parking lot, in each cabin, and at the Café. If you have a large group with luggage, they do offer help with transport from parking to the cabins on the waterfront. The Café and a BBQ area with fire pits, allow you to spend your time as you wish. On the other side of the cabins are trails to meet any skill level. The 1.4-mile roundtrip hike to Cranberry Lake is beautiful and can be enjoyed by any age. If you plan on parking just for the day, Cama Park does charge $10, or if you have other state park destinations, you’ll want to check out the Discovery Pass for only $35 a year. You can purchase this pass when you first check in to Cama Beach State park, or at many other retailers in the area including grocery stores.
