(Located ON base, so base access is required)…read more This place is seriously awesome. If you arrive late, you can park and check in in the morning (now that we've been doing this for a while, that seems to be the norm). Friendly staff, gorgeous views, beach access, base police make regular rounds, and the bathroom facilities are clean and warm. It's nice to take a shower in an area big enough that if you drop something, you don't have to get out of the shower to pick it up. ;-) The dogs loved the path and the nearness of the beach for potty potty breaks. Man, this place is so windy. If I might make a recommendation...keep your awning in. Only put it out when you plan to sit under it...otherwise, keep it in. Prices are competitive. There is a playground and giant chess set. BBQ's provided at each site. Back in, pull through, 50 amp, 30 amp, tent camping, yurts, oh...and fun "art" installations along the path. If you're into tetanus PT, there's a pull-up area covered in rust!

The Whidbey Scenic Isle Way is a nice stop to take pictures of the shoreline just past Fort Casey State Park. People were fishing and even scuba diving while I was walking around.

Then it is mostly flat and easy and has a couple benches to stop at. Has some other trails that branch off, but there are signposts to tell you where to go. Nice dog friendly hike.

For all it's worth, I will say this camp ground is amazing. My fiancé and I are full time RVers and decided a year ago we wanted to live here so they placed us on the waiting list. Once they called us we were ecstatic and we packed and moved out there. Sad sad days followed. I was diagnosed with PTSD from an incident that happened to me two years ago, add in the stress of moving, my fiancé's new job and all the changes and stressors that go along with those things and the result was, a major mental health crisis. Long story short, During the crisis I started screaming and crying and hyperventilating. Needless to say I scared my neighbors who called the police. Because of that disturbance we were asked to leave. It was heartbreaking but understandable. Having said all of that, our short tenure there was absolutely amazing. It's beautiful scenery, quiet and peaceful (except for my screaming fit) . The laundry facility is awesome and economical, there's a wonderful dog park that we visited daily with our puppies. There's a small gym and pickle ball courts. There's a small walking trail and a play ground. They truly offer an amazing setting for anyone wanting a weekend getaway to full timers like us. The staff is friendly and professional. Although it saddens me that we had to move, I feel lucky to have had the experience to live there. If I had known that I was experiencing PTSD, I'd have gotten help much sooner so I could have avoided the scene that happened one fateful night. Thank you to all those who made our stay there possible. Sincerely Raine Thomas

Guests can enjoy a seating area at the top of the hill and there is a nearby shack that provides firewood and propane for convenience.Some of the park's sites include cozy cabins, each furnished with a comfortable chair, desk, and a generous king-size bed, along with a window offering views of the RV area.

There aren't activities but that was okay with us. It does have laundry, showers and bathrooms that were clean. We would stay here again

We stumbled upon this absolute gem of a county park on a recent camping trip to Whidbey Island, and…read moreI just had to make a Yelp page for them! This spot is so pretty, located way off of busy Hwy 20 at the end of a dead end road. It's pretty basic - there are no amenities (not even a port-a-potty, eek) but don't let that stop you from visiting. The beach is absolutely breathtaking, with views across to Hope Island State Park and the mainland, and literally hundreds (if not thousands) of huge pieces of driftwood. My guess is the trees that float down the Skagit during flood season eventually end up at this park, and I'm here for it because there were some GIANT ones! There's also a tiny, no-frills boat-in campsite at the north end of the park, but the real experience here is to walk south along the spit where you can almost see Deception Pass, which is right around the corner. There's no lack of boats, sea life, and birds to enjoy. No to mention this was one of the best rockhounding areas I've been to in quite awhile! I had to resist re-starting my infamous fourth grade beach rock collection. This is definitely worth the visit, and the beach walk to the end of the spit is worth it (if not a bit more tiring than it looks). There was only one other person here during our visit, too, so it was super quiet!

I stopped at Bowman Bay one day on my way to Oak Harbor to visit my grandma. I had packed a lunch…read moresince I was traveling in the morning to midday and traffic was starting to pick up. My sister had recently come here to go kayaking and recommended it as a spot to visit. So, I decided to give it a try as a lunch spot. Discovery passes were required for parking, fortunately I had thought ahead and it was in the glove compartment of my car. I arrived towards the morning side of noon on 1 September 2021 and parking was abundant. The weather was sunny with a slight wind. So I decided to park, grab my lunch and eat on a piece of driftwood on the beach. A group of kayakers were just heading out as I ate and a few dog walkers made their way up and down the shore. Just up from the beach there were picnic tables and a large grassy expanse. A trail led off into a wooded area. The restroom building not far from the parking lot was kept cleanly.

This would have been a 5 rating if not for a dog bite incident where the owner refused to be accountable for her dog biting my dog. We were there for 10 minutes when a large Rhodesian Ridgeback bit my girl as she returned a ball to me. No skin was broken on her back and my girl seemed OK so we moved far out into the park to get away from the biter. Twenty minutes later my dog was returning a ball and the biter appeared and bit again. Look out for this dog if you go there. The woman that owns the Rhodesian Ridgeback said we were not locals and that is why her dog bit my dog. Not a good excuse for bad behavior and no apology. If your dog attacks another dog, you're responsible and accountable period. My next message is going to Coupeville City Hall to ask if an occasional visit from an animal control officer might help remind owners that they're responsible and need to supervise their dogs. Otherwise, this is a fabulous dog park. Go here, your dogs will love it.

The area is run/managed by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife and there are a number of different units to explore. We took a right at the fork in the road past the main entrance and parked in the parking lot by the restrooms, information boards, covered area, and office. Venturing off on foot after parking the car, we took the trail in the no hunting zone. A short ways past the trailhead the trail forks into two trails, both trails are out-and-back trails. Today we decided to walk both trails. We were fortunate to have overcast weather that partially guarded us from the sun's rays. On a sunny summer day I could see roasting while walking on this pathway. So make sure to cover up, what we did, and/or wear sunscreen. The bullfrogs were croaking, birds chirping and singing, and woodpeckers pecking all throughout the few hours we spent here. The trails we walked took us past streams, mudflats, estuaries, bird nests, and Olympic Mountain view points. The herons and eagles enjoyed soaring overhead and when we passed an eagle's nest the young ones were just coming out and looking around. A place to take one's time and move a little slow or walk and stop frequently just to see what wildlife crosses one's path. We encountered a couple of covered shelters with seating for those who want to sit and observe the surroundings. Wild flowers also abound in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Berries drew the appetite of birds and were eagerly consumed. No negatives about the Skagit Wildlife Area for me. A great place to come if you are craving nature and especially an abundance of wildlife and/or wild flowers to walk amongst or observe. Not very busy during our time here, we arrived and departed before noon. Also great morning light for taking photos.
