    Large state park with numerous activities from camping to hiking to water activities. There are varying restrooms available throughout the park. We came by this park but didn't stay very long. We had a nice walk along the beach and it was low tide at the time. It was a beautiful warm late afternoon at the time in the middle of the week. It was nice there wasn't a crowd. There are quite a few parking stalls available.

    Stayed here for camping July 3-July 5 on site 7 and 8 with another family. I do not recommend tent camping because the sites are very small and close together. It usually is small at state parks but this is the worst I've ever seen. There were several RV campers parked there and it's mixed with tent campers. We barely had enough room to fit our tent because we were surrounded by RVs. The campsite is across the street from the beach and park side so there is no view in any of the camping spots. Twanoh beach itself is beautiful and I'd recommend going there for day trips but not the actual campground.

    Beautiful park. Spent the day here with friends. Great facilities and clean. Park benches with charcoal grills and only one large fire pit by the beach. If you have your shellfish license then there is a plethora of oysters, mussels and clams to pick; just have your tides correct. You also need a Discovery Pass.

    Great Hiking for families. Take water and sandwiches and take the high trail for being in the middle of a beautiful forest. Great camping and a beach for Kayaking and for swimming for the dogs

    Great hike, up the hill, good workout. Just as nice as the Olympic East side. The campground looked fun. We didn't stay, so can't say much about camping. But there are some amazing looking camp sites by the stream on the West side. The beachside was clean and the water looked amazing. Trails are well kept, canopy and trees make for a shady walk. I would go back and camp for sure.

    The Park was really nice and not crowded on the weekdays and theonly thing was the restroom need a some renovation.

    Loved camping here. Was afraid there'd be Mosquitos but came away without a single bite. Very clean, nice employees. Peaceful and quiet with respectful neighbors. Recommend! Tip: we liked the sites toward the back of the park. More woodsy and a heck of a lot more privacy. Some of the sites have water and electricity. I think it costs 10 bucks more.

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.

    Our family stayed here for two nights in July and loved it! It's a really ideal spot for kids for…read moreso many reasons - beautiful sites close to the water and general store; walking distance to the lake where they have single and double kayak and I think stand-up paddleboard rentals; and a public "beach" at Lake Cushman with seating, picnic tables, tons of shade. The campsite is nicely developed with clean bathrooms and roomy sites. It's a little more per night that your standard state or national park, but site amenities and property location more than make up for that. Outside of the amenities at Skokomish Park, the staffers there are all friendly and over the top helpful. In two days we interacted with multiple staffers and all were beyond helpful and nice, including (1) my daughter dropping her hot chocolate after buying it at the general store and staff insisting she replace it for free and (2) kayak staff being so nice and accommodating despite us obviously being their very last rental of the day (and probably standing between them and the end of the workday). However, the most over the top service we got was when our truck battery died and we went up to the general store to get cell service to call for a tow; when staff heard the issue, they insisted on jumping our truck that day, and when it died again overnight, they again insisted on jumping it rather than us calling AAA. The young couple that helped both times even refused a cash tip, saying they couldn't take it and were happy to help, and made us feel like it was sincerely no big deal for them to assist. Lake Cushman is beautiful and this property was the perfect way to experience it. Highly recommend!

But...it is very expensive to camp with what you get (almost $300 for 3 nites). Our campsite was VERY narrow; no privacy. It was not peaceful since they cram so many sites together and no sound barriers. The far back tent sites may be better for privacy. The single bathroom building in the middle of the loop is OLD. The toilet stalls are so small! I could barely squeeze in and out by standing beside the toilet (yuk!). The worst part is there is only ONE shower stall for all the female campers. AND you need quarters! For as much as we paid for camping, that is ridiculous. We won't camp there again. $20 for the day use area is a much better value.

    What?! 3-stars? For...nature?…read more Yeah, I did it. If this were a hike in Indiana, or Ohio, or Kansas, it would easily be 5-stars. But, for Washington? Home to THREE National Parks, the largest glaciers in the lower 48, temperate rainforests, and hundreds of miles of coastline? Nah. This is an A-OK hike. It goes to a lake surrounded by forested hills. It looks like many lakes in WA and OR that are surrounded by forested hills. There aren't sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains, there aren't craggy cliffs overhead. There's lots of forest, and a pretty big lake. If you're super into lakes and trees, you'll dig this. But, you can find prettier lakes (Flapjack Lakes) via Staircase: https://www.yelp.com/biz/staircase-area-olympic-national-park-hoodsport And you can find prettier forests via Hoh River Trail: https://www.yelp.com/biz/hoh-rain-forest-visitor-center-forks If you're more into mountains and scenic vistas, Ellinor is much more rewarding and relatively close-by: https://www.yelp.com/biz/mount-ellinor-hoodsport SIDEBAR: this is the trailhead you climb "The Brothers" from. I can't really recommend climbing this mountain. The trail starts to fizzle out past Lena Lake and eventually becomes a full-on bushwhack. Route finding starts to take more time than actually moving. You'll second guess your every move, mutiny will be in the back of the mind for you and your comrades. The route up the mountain is also kind of winding and confusing. In early season, watch out for avalanches! One of our people got swept away by one while on this mountain, luckily she only had a sprung (It's my mission to make this word the past tense of sprang) ankle.

They have vault bathrooms at the beginning of the trailhead near the parking lot. I checked the bulletins and signed the registry and headed up. I instantly noticed a difference from other trails I've been on in that the majority if not all the trail is shaded so even though it was like 85+ degrees when I went, it felt much cooler and there was even a breeze at times so the heat/sun wasn't an annoyance. The trail is a general medium uphill travel. I loved that it was gradual and not just a sharp incline with a huge amount of switchbacks like other trails. It's only about 1200-1300 elevation gain total. This trail allowed me to pace myself and not stop too much to take a breath. I was able to just keep going. I also liked that the trail was wide enough in most places where 2-3 people and pass each other at one time as opposed to having to yield. I also liked that even though I went on a Saturday around 10:45am the trail was practically empty. Such a difference from the trails near Snoqualmie and North Bend. Nobody appears to want to come down toward the Hood Canal to hike. You can hear the water throughout your trek uphill so it's a relaxing hike....is that even possible? I had seen a wooden sign about a mile before the lake that said Lena Lake but what I didn't notice was the word Upper in front of Lena Lake. I actually passed the lake because I didn't see the lookout point to my right and I actually went another 1.5 miles before my intuition told me to stop. Upper Lena lake is about another 7-8 miles past Lower Lena Lake, and I was definitely not ready for that plus the hike down. I will say that the bugs get a lot worse the higher up you go, or at least they did for me. I passed two huge wasp/hornet nests and they just don't leave you alone no matter how much you swat. I also ran into some friendly grouses. No bears or mountain lions this time thankfully. Anyway, on the way back down to the lake I went off the trail a bit toward Lena Creek and there were a lot of campers and people filling up their water. You can also cross a log bridge which I believe takes you to the Brothers trail. FYI: The lake is on your right about 3.5 miles up from the trailhead. Then if you want, you can trek a mile or two down hill to get closer to the ground level of the lake as opposed to peering out over it on the rocks. My hiking app kept telling me the lake is called Olympic National Forest Pond. There were a few rowdy tubers on the lake that were disturbing the peace of the outdoors, but to each his own. Overall though, I will definitely be doing this trail again as it was the perfect length and also has the nice treat of the lake once you get to the end. Definitely take a reasonable amount of water (I took 1.5 Liters) and some food/snacks and even some swimwear. Please take your trash and doggie doo bags out with you. I did notice a few spots where there was dog feces directly on the trail or doo bags throw into the ground cover. Be a responsible dog owner please. Also as of 8/20, there were some downed logs laying across some of the Upper Lena Lake trail so you may need to crawl and climb over wet/muddy areas if you go up further.
