    Sun set!
    Ted And Tammie F.

    What a great place! Nice and quiet however it is in February. Clean park and the local town is nice. I'll be back.

    Looking toward the water from The RV camps, spot T 36.
    Amy I.

    We came here for a camp out weekend with my mom and dad and honestly I was like "What Podunk place are we going to? But there's nothing in Belfair!" I tried to be positive but seriously, there was a reason I had not come back to Belfair in like two decades. There truly was nothing out there the last time I had unwillingly rolled through. Just a gas station and a super sketch Safeway and some mom and pop places I was too scared to even try. Enter Belfair State Park. I was pleasantly, truly and really surprised. For one thing, it was CLEAN. Our RV spot was raked and the fire pit was free of debris. The RV hookups had been updated and there was full electricity, water and sewage hookups in most of the RV spots. We had some great climbing trees in our section and though a trail ran right next to us we were never disturbed by the other campers or their dogs. And my god the people picked up their dog poop!! They actually did! Only once during our many romps through the fields and trails did I find an unscooped dog poo. And even though there were flocks of geese flying over head I didn't see huge piles of geese droppings either. I was amazed. It wasn't just our area either, the tent campsites seemed pretty clean too. We roamed through LO's of trails that wound their way between camps and dog owner's were doing their duty (heh heh). The grass fields were kept nice. There was lots of open space to run around and toss a frisbee or play an impromptu game of soccer or volleyball. I even saw a couple of kite fliers amongst the many family groups, some church groups, and day use picnic goers. There was quite a lot of people here but it never felt crowded and there was ample parking. Remember to have your $30 annual Discover Pass posted and to pay the $10 daily use fee when you come, the park rangers patrol often and from our interactions have been pleasant. There are several creeks running through out to the inlet and they were also very clean. I'm not used to seeing such clean creek water. In fact I was even surprised at the lack of smell from the creek and the bay itself. Most of what I've experienced of Hood Canal was always accompanied by a very specific "beach smell" which can be good and sometimes very, very bad but here there was nothing and there was only a slight even breeze off the water. It was really refreshing just to be able to smell the trees and grass. The playground was nice, not too big that our three and four year old would get lost or trampled on by the other big kids but a good size. It had a tube slide and several climbing rocks with the softer, semi squishy playground bark which is great but only two individual swings and no available baby swing. The picnic tables were close and shaded by some good sized trees and that provided a great perching area for parents to linger at. We saw many people with their own pop up shade tents so bring them if you have the room. The playground was near a cool group enclosure that had large bay windows and big sliding barnyard styled doors that could close to keep out the breeze if needed. We saw several groups rent it over the long weekend so I'm sure you can find rates by calling in the park or checking online. It was also very close to some recently remodeled unisex and accessible restrooms. There were also two shower rooms and the individual restrooms were labeled to let you know that they had infant changing tables inside. The ones we used weren't smelly at all. Same goes for the not remodeled restrooms on the other side of the park closer to the ranger station and park entrance. Maybe we just got lucky as I've read from other reviews that there have been some bad experiences in this department. I'm just saying what happened to us. I've never known any park to use sprinklers on their grass but after each RV patron left a camp host volunteer would come out and set up water sprinklers over the vacated camp site and check around for any trash left behind. I was flabbergasted. We spent so much time running between the trails and the beach. Low tide is amazing! It goes really far out and it's really cool because at the time that we went shellfish season was open and the waters were cleared for harvesting which is unheard of in most other parts of Puget Sound. My mom quickly loaded up on her limit of Manila clams and they tasted divine. Rock crab too! No weird after effects either! Just be smart and thoroughly cook your harvests, people. And the rangers are watchful. Don't try to cheat the system. All in all we had a blast. I'm really grateful for that considering my preconceptions. I'm glad I had a refreshing change of heart. We will be back again for sure

    We did not camp ( so review on that ) but my son (4) and I went for a day trip. There is a playground we played at. (Fun) and my son spent a long time splashing in the stream that feed into the main water area. It was beautiful! I meet the park rangers family that were friendly and knowledgable about the area. We will come back again!!!

A few minutes drive off of 101 in Brinnon, WA you'll find Rocky Brook Falls. Across the street are a few parking spots, but beware that side is private property and there are a bunch of no trespassing signs. The entrance to the trail was not obvious to me. So I took some photos showing the path. But it's a short walk to the falls, which by the way, was a lot larger than I thought it would be! You will have to climb over some boulders to access the pool at the base of the falls, so just be aware of that. I came on a summer weekday, so there was only another couple with their dog there. You practically had the place to yourself! It has been one of the dryer summers, so I imagine after a good rainfall, the falls would be roaring and serene. Also note, there are no bathroom facilities and no cell service in the immediate area.

Bring some Keens or other water shoes as you have to scrabble over some larger boulders at the edge of the pool - but to keep it real, I wore flip flops. There is a dirt parking lot on left side . Cross over the road and hike the trail on the right side.

Anywho, eventually, we found this spot, and it was exactly how my aunt and uncle described it. Lots of nature and walking paths, and gorgeous views of the water.

There's also a little amphitheater area made of tree stumps and wooden benches with a wooden stage. I think you have a reserve that area if you wanna use it, though.

If you're looking for just a night or several weeks, this campground is well maintained with beautiful views, and friendly and hardworking staff members. Truly a gem.

    Horseshoe Lake County Park is located in Kitsap County with a large lake, barbecues, picnic tables,…read morevolleyball court (on sand), playground and walking trails. Swimming, canoeing, kayaking and fishing is all allowed at this large lake. And this county park is also dog friendly. My husband, our little girl dog and I stopped by this park on a Thursday afternoon, a little before 1 pm. The reason why we came here was because we were looking for a park with barbecue grills because we had just purchased some raw, fresh oysters and clams from Minterbrook Oyster Farm and wanted to cook some up for lunch. A local at a nearby convenience store suggested this park and so we headed on our way (be sure to purchase charcoal if you want to use the park grills). Parking is plentiful, plenty of parks to provide shade and lots of grass available for our little girl to mark her territory. With a handful of barbecue grills, we decided to pick one by the volleyball court. My husband set up the grill and did the cooking (that is what husbands are for) and my little girl and I explored this large park in the meantime. There are restrooms by the playground, but I did not use it. Also during our visit, a park employee told us that he had to close the restrooms (due to some kind of plumbing problem) and that porta-potties will be delivered later today. This is a great park to have a family get together, picnic, friend gathering (play volleyball or bring your kayaks and launch off of here), fly your drone here or toy planes and play with your dog(s) here. If I lived closer, I would be out here on a regular basis.

The park also has solid amenities like tennis courts, a volleyball area, and a basketball court for older kids and adults. I especially enjoyed the shaded walking paths, which offered a nice break from the sun. The one downside was the bathroom. It was in poor condition and definitely could use some upkeep. Parking was available but packed due to the nice weather, so we had to park a short walk away. JY review.
