We had the pleasure of finding a campground over the weekend at Camano Island State Park in Washington State. There are actually two state parks that we looked at for camping in Northern Puget Sound. Camano Island and Cama Beach. Camano Island State Park is the only one where you can drive in for a first-come-first-serve campground while Camano Island State Park has cabins only. I'm more of a camping guy so the choice was clear.

The publicly owned state park is about 68 miles north-west of Seattle. It has 173 acres of recreational area and over 1 mile of rocky beach shore. You could possibly spot whales and or eagles in the protected area. There are also several trails that swing around through dense forests and all the way down to the shoreline.

The campground's upper loop is perched a few hundred feet above Lowell Point and the accessible south beach of Camano Island State Park. The lower loop, which is open year-round, has a few sites with great views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.

We camped at the upper loop, which is more primitive but quiet and it still retains the sense of being near the water. There's five well-kept cabins, an amphitheater, and a group campsite with a modern bathroom.

Adventurers passing through the Cascadia Marine Trail can use the exclusive campsite down on south beach. The marine trail is made for human and wind-powered vessels only and goes from the southern inlets of the Puget Sound all the way through the Canadian Border.

I highly recommend checking it out if you're ever in the Pacific Northwest.

Great post‏..

What a beautiful evening you have captured! Thanks for the vision.

love the sky

Gorgeous! Beautiful opportunities - nice choices of composition and design shots.

I lived on Camano Island for a few months shy of a year when I was growing up. At that time there was only the one bridge that connected Stanwood to the island (Not sure if that has changed) which had flooded for 3 weeks leaving us on the island stuck!

Great photos of a great place!

I don't even see water when I cross the bridge lol.

Wow. How times have changed..

Nice! I wish my travel posts got as much attention. I put a fair amount of effort in!

The sunset there looks great!

Hello @adonisabril! Very beautiful photos that combine chaos on earth and heavenly order. Probably, it is very pleasant to do yoga here. I have been engaged for 7 years already and also try to make a beautiful assana in every country I visit. Namaste!
