You don't want to miss this truly unique location! Our 3 campsitesites sit just up the hill (0.4 miles) from US 101 and the beautiful shores of the Hood Canal, with semi-obstructed views of the water. I own and run Lilliwaup Oyster Farm just down the hill and across the 101 - you'll pass the workshop and processing building on your drive up to the sites.
YES! We offer oysters to purchase, seasonally (September - June) and if you're feeling adventurous, take advantage of farm tour on the beach and harvest your own oysters straight from the farm to eat raw or grill up back at your campsite! *Please note - oyster farm tours require 1 week advance notice - let us know when you book if you're interested.*
Campsites are located on a secluded hilltop just a half mile from the waterfront, surrounded by old growth trees, wildflowers, and the serene soundscape of the rushing creek straight from the the Olympic Mountains. Come rest and reconnect with yourself, your crew, and the elements.

We had an amazing time camping at site #3. The area was peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. It’s only about a 15-minute walk to the water, where you can collect shells, oysters, etc.
Jim was a fantastic host. He provided us with firewood and even stopped by to check on us and see if we needed more. On top of that, there were fresh oysters for sale during our stay. I think we ended up eating around five dozen or so over the course of our stay there.
We would absolutely come back!

We had a wonderful overnight stay at Jim's Hood Canal Oyster Farm. We originally booked site #2 but Jim contacted us prior to our arrival and invited us to stay at site #1 which became available. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. All three sites are very well kept, peaceful, and private. The hookups worked perfectly, and our 21' class C RV had no issues with the short steep climb to the site. Site #1 is the largest and we loved the herb garden and table. I did notice that site #3 is more private and would have fit our RV with no issues. We hope to be back soon. We can't thank Jim enough for the absolutely delicious oysters from his farm.

This was our second time at this campsite in Lilliwaup! The location is great, it was quiet, the campsite & porta-potty were clean, and Jim was a great host. Since it was a wet weekend, he brought dry kindling to our site and made sure we were all set for the evening. We'll be back again!

We chose this spot for our very first camping trip with our 1955 trailer - and it was beautiful! Private (though we had family at the next door spot - which worked perfectly!). Loved all the cute seating spots the owner set up throughout the property. The river was fabulous and we even took out the tubes (a bit cold on a 70 degree day, but so much fun!). 🤩

The view and sounds of the river on this campsite were even better than we expected! It was clean, well-manicured and softly lit at night if you turn on the string lights above the site. It is pretty private, with just one set of neighbors who were also quiet. The river access is tricky from this site, and only for those who are very able to navigate a steep climb.

Kevin was an amazing host. He was quick with responses anytime we needed to contact him. He's thought of everything you might need and more! We had an amazing time enjoying the lake and water amenities. We had no luck fishing, but theres plenty of fish jumping and we will try again the next time we stay! We went in mid-September, so a bit off season and it felt very private and cozy.

Site #3 was perfect for our first time camping using our sleeping platform in the back of our Forester with a Kelty caboose. There was plenty of space! There was a big wooden spool we could use as a table. Although we didn’t tent camp in the additional open clearing, we did sit there to enjoy our coffee the next morning. It was very quiet except for the chipping of birds and sound of a nearby stream. The porta potty was very clean! Jim was very responsive. We will definitely be back.

I had amazing time spending a couple of days here. It was peaceful and quiet at the cabin. The cabin really showed off it's pirate theme I adore it so much and the welcoming basket was great. Kevin made sure your stay was comfortable by having supplies for any activities for the lake and had enough supplies for bedding too. I am gonna come back here again in the future 😄

RV Site #1 and Tahoya River Lodge was great. The site was large, well landscaped and immaculately maintained. Being able to just relax while watching the river was great.
Also it was a quick drive up to Silverdale or Poulsbo so the ability to do day trips from this spot was nice.
