Camping near Bainbridge Island

·

Accessible by a 35-minute ferry ride from Seattle, Bainbridge Island is a no-brainer for campers wanting to get out of the city. Pitch a tent or park the RV at the island’s local campground, which features views of Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains, plus amenities like full hookups, restrooms, and hot showers. For more privacy, snag a Bainbridge Island cabin rental with basic furnishings, electricity, a spacious deck, an outdoor fire ring, and a picnic table. Head out in the morning to the Historical Museum, hit a local brewery for lunch, then walk through cedar and fir trees in the Grand Forest, or head to Rockaway Beach Park to scuba dive. Campers looking for more West Coast terrain to conquer can head an hour away to the entrance of Olympic National Park. The Sol Duc Hot Springs Area offers full hookups for motorhomes and remote hike-in tent sites for backpackers along the Hoh River Trail to Blue Glacier.

Forest camping with a salmon stream. 10 acres of permaculture and mycology includes granite fire pits and loop trails with dispersed sites for tents, vans and truck campers. Enjoy a private island with a naturist beach. Bbq and disc golf basket. Hammocking trees at the viewpoint. Make campfire connections and find yourself here. Guests love it here: "We stayed two nights at Curley Creek Canyon and loved the experience! Jerrett was a wonderful host and met us upon arrival with great recommendations of places to explore on his beautiful property. The camp sites are clean, private, and have fire pits, and benches provided. We took the roped trail down to the creek (bring gloves it’s a bit steep) and saw large groups of salmon swim upstream. This time of year is magical with the dropping leafs and lush moss/fungus sightings. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick getaway from the city to connect to nature. Thanks, Jerrett for the experience and look forward to our next visit!"

Manchester State Park

4. Manchester State Park

State park 601mi from Bainbridge Island · 2 sites
Manchester State Park features a beach, sand dunes, and flat grasslands, with nearly 18,000 feet of ocean frontage. The beach line curves gently to form a "catch basin" for sea debris, which accounts for the volume of driftwood found here. Five miles of gentle, sandy beach stretches southward towards the Point Arena Lighthouse. One of the main attractions is the excellent steelhead fishing in the park’s two streams, Brush Creek and Alder Creek. The park features a variety of coastal wildflowers, including sea pinks, poppies, lupines, baby blue eyes and blue irises. The park provides habitat for tundra swans. The San Andreas Fault runs into the sea at the park. The park takes its name from the village of Manchester, which is located in Mendocino County on Coast Highway 1 about seven miles north of Point Arena. This is an area of rich grazing lands, flocks of sheep and herds of cattle which add a pastoral note to some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the world.

Wake up in the woods to fresh espresso pulled by certified baristas — yes, really. Forest Farm is a cozy camp tucked into 50 private acres of lush PNW forest, lovingly tended as part of our work as sustainable forest stewards and farmers. Great for couples, friends, and families with kids ages 7 and up. Our forest trails, hidden swing set, fire ring, and resident dragon make for the kind of woodland magic that kids love. Have a younger one? We consider littler adventurers on a case-by-case basis — just message us before booking. Working remotely? Trade your home office for the forest. With strong cell signal, reliable wifi, device charging, and a covered common area that makes a surprisingly good outdoor desk, Basecamp works beautifully as a weekday workation — deep-focus days among the trees, barista-made espresso instead of the office machine, and trails to wander on your lunch break. Ask us about midweek and extended stays. Just a short hop from the Seattle ferry, spend your days exploring charming Kitsap towns, kayaking the shoreline, beachcombing, or chasing the bioluminescence tours at Port Gamble — then come home to the quiet of the trees. Or simply slow down: wander the trails, find the swing set hidden like a secret, gather around the fire ring, and gaze up at a sky full of stars. Stay at Basecamp, our pair of charming wooden A-frame cabins near the farmstead, with common area, pellet stove, hammock, and fire ring all to yourself. Add our optional morning coffee service — guests say it makes the stay feel more like a rustic B&B than a campsite. Feeling adventurous? Venture into our back 40, where secluded clearings, creek access, and winding trails wait to be explored. Good to know: portable toilet, potable water, sink, and charging stations provided. Bring your camp basics and a sense of wonder.
