Members of early sailing expeditions of Puget Sound named much of our area.  The first was Capt. George Vancouver and his Second Lieutenant Peter Puget who explored Puget Sound in May 1792.  Almost 50 years later in May 1841 Admiral Wilkes expedition named Stretch Island for Samuel Stretch, a gunner's mate with the expedition.  Using his wit he then named the smaller island to the north Reach Island.  Reach Island had been known as Oak Island prior to this.  Joseph Pickard was the first to homestead Reach Island in 1885.  He left in 1890 and the island was not inhabited until 1905 when Alfred W. Zizz bought Reach Island for $1,000. Alfred and his wife Natella raised two children; Virginia and Zane. Alfred remained on the island until 1952 when it was sold to a development group and it was renamed Treasure Island. In 1991 The Riley Family planted their first Oyster and Clam beds and named there area Treasure Cove because of the close distance to Treasure Island, Washington.

Took a chance on a November booking and mother nature won: windy, cold, rainy BUT we still had an amazing time thanks to the host Kevin! He set up some tents, started a fire and the grill, had heaters going in the cabins with some extra blankies, the hot tub ready, fresh out of the water clams and oysters, and entertained us all night with stories, education about his business and the history of oyster shellfish farming and the area. (Host lives on property and gave plenty of space/privacy, we happily invited him to stay and hang out) Being able to let the dog run free was a huge bonus. Highly recommend the Boat House up the street if looking for restaurants near by

This was the first time my husband and I stayed on an oyster farm and it was such a treat. Kevin is a lovely host who teaches you all about oyster farming and how he uses the land. It's a very low-key, dog friendly piece of land which our pooch loved. Overall just a wonderful and unique place to stay. Highly recommend it!

A perfect, relaxing PNW destination
Kevin has an amazing set up with a couple of cute cabins, unexpected & welcome amenities, open space, a phenomenal waterfront location, and he is a thoughtful and fun host. My husband and I had the place to ourselves for Labor Day weekend. We were super surprised that there is a mini fridge available for us to use! We really appreciated having access to a flushing toilet and a hot shower! It was really fun and fascinating to learn about oyster farming from Kevin and he taught us how to shuck oysters. His are kayaks available for use and Kevin is super welcoming about letting you use any of the toys and furniture he has in his yard. A couple of times we almost got in the kayak but we spent the weekend soaking in the view, relaxing on the swing chair, and getting a lot of reading done. Bring a pair of binoculars because there are sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters, deer, and if you’re really lucky you might spot a whale! This spot is a total PNW gem and Kevin is so gracious to open up his home and share it with people. 10/10 experience

The property is small but had everything we needed. It's a short walk to the bathroom with a warm shower. Situated by the water, we kayaked with seals and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset. Kevin is a shellfish farmer. The piece de la resistance was having clams and freshly shucked oysters prepared by Kevin, and the most delicious freshly picked blackberries.

Scrumptious Oysters
Treasure Cove Oyster Camp was an adventure! Kevin was a delight to get to know, and his oysters were scrumptious. The cabin was very comfortable, enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and the indoor bathroom. Hot showers felt great. Kayaking was fun, also floating on the blowup armchair, and watching the seals club onto the dock in the bay.

Once again, Kevin is an amazing host. This is my second time here at Kevin's oyster farm. He made sure we had everything we needed and even showed up how to shuck oysters. Even after a night of beers and oysters, he was up early to harvest oysters for us the next morning. Def book with Kevin and you will not be disappointed!

Kevin's spot is very magical! My partner, son (28 months) and I took his kayaks and floatie out morning, noon and night:D Late afternoon we saw seals swimming nearby..and the water got warmer as the day stretched on. Kevin was awesome in letting us rent out the whole place (we were nervous with our son.) We ended up leaving a day earlier- because of our son haha (he is still getting used to overnights,) but we had a blast otherwise. Each cabin is cozy and feels like summer camp. There is a grill/cooler/fridge to use...fire pit/picnic tables..Kevin really has thought of everything..Ac/fans etc. We also drove out (about 45 min) to Lake Cushman, which was really fun. All-in-all great trip..hope to do it again and will definitely try to head back with friends or fam. Also, Kevin gave us a whole bag of oysters on our way out. We grilled them and ate some raw when we got home and they were delicious:) Thank you Kevin!

Birthday weekend at oyster cove
Our group had an incredible time here . I rented both cabins so our group could have the whole space for my 30th birthday . Kevin greeted us with oysters and all the info we needed to get straight to the fun. I especially appreciated the fencing all around the yard so our 4 dogs in our group could run free while we were out on the water or cooking. Would come back or recommend for everything and especially the location, hospitality and nice amenities while still camping.

We had so much fun at Treasure Cove. We lucked out and had the place to ourselves, there was plenty of space and I didn’t realize that one of the cabins had 2 queen beds so that was a nice surprise. Kevin was on-site and he was available if we needed him but gave us our space as well. We loved our fireside oyster tasting/lesson and learning all about the oysters and Kevin’s business story was so fascinating. The water was perfect and we even saw orcas!

Fun and relaxing
The oyster farm is right on the water with a rocky beach at low tide - it was so nice to get in the cool water on a superhot day. Kevin let us borrow his two sit-on-top kayaks, which we paddled to the nearby marina to see the mama seal and her pup! Also did a sunset paddle to see the stunning pink sunset on Mt. Rainer. Kevin is such a charming host; he let us use his grill to cook our dinner and he even gave us a laser light show!

Being off the sound is a great advantage. Cabins were well stocked. I loved that I was allowed to have my dogs off leash. Kevin gave us two extra kayaks to use.

Kevin is a super friendly and welcoming host! He let us taste some of his AMAZING, freshly harvested oysters and offered to show us how to dig clams right off the beach — we had an incredible seafood feast for dinner one night. The cabin was very comfortable and convenient — the only bummer was that the hot tub was out of order during our stay, but overall this is a great spot! We would definitely come back and stay again.

Great site for a family reunion
Kevin is a very responsive host. He responded to every request. This site is especially good for dogs and children because it is fenced. He made time to educate us about his oyster and clam farm. We paid for wood and he delivered. The three sites are relatively close to each other. Good for large groups. I recommend 6 people at most per site because there is exactly one toilet and one shower. We really enjoyed kayaking and swimming of the beach as well as looking at the beautiful view.

We had such a wonderful time staying at Kevin's Treasure Cove! It is such a great spot for wildlife watching. We saw a baby whale playing with seagulls, a pregnant sea lion, a sea otter and a heron. Talk about magical. Also, his oysters are hard to beat. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Kevin!

We enjoyed our stay on Kevin's land. It was very beautiful. We even got to see wild life such as a sea lion, ducks, and geese. Kevin was very nice and built a camp fire for us. The hot tub was very enjoyable.

We absolutely loved our stay! Kevin is the number one best host and his place is wonderful. I can’t recommend this place enough! We can’t wait to go back again some day. Love what he’s doing out there and the hot tub is a pro-move. Thank you Kevin!!’

We had a great time at Treasure Cove Oyster Camp - not sure why this webpage is saying "This is required to submit your low rating." Kevin was an excellent host and his oysters ($1 ea) were fantastic, some of the best I've ever had. I'd suggest the HipCamp page for this site be updated for clarity on which site one is renting and that it be clarified that the hot tub (which was also lovely) is available for an additional charge.

I highly reccomend going to the Treasure Cove Oyster Camp- especially if you have kids. The host is a natural teacher & gardener. As a science teacher, I really appreciated the host showing us the whole process of raising oysters and explaining the special brackish environment right outside the cabin window! It’s beautiful- the salty ocean water coming from the left and the fresh river water coming from the right meeting in front as we watched the tide come in & out. Thanks Kevin for your kindness and sharing your land & work.

Shells full of treasure
Kevin was an amazing host, provided everything we required to make a meal from the sea. He is quite the sea farmer. His oysters and clams are hands down some of the BEST I’ve ever tasted, and I’ve been a chef for 12 years. The sunsets and sunrises on Treasure Cove were our heaven, and when we needing anything, Kevin was friendly, communicative, helpful and accommodating. We will be back for sure!

What a great spot! It was my first time using hipcamp and Kevin was an amazing experience. He had a warm fire, great table set up for cooking, fresh oysters, heated hot tub and lovely rooms. He was a very kind and accommodating host who really cares for the place and people :) It was great to chat a bit and also have space to enjoy the setting. A perfect place to end a weekend of back country winter camping on the peninsula!
