RV camping near Shelton

·

Hours away from Seattle but worlds apart, Shelton is set at the southern end of the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington. A bit north, Hood Canal is a natural fjord offering terrific opportunities for boating, kayaking, fishing, and shellfish harvesting. Summer campers can park the RV at waterfront resorts by the canal within Potlatch State Park and Twanoh State Park. Full hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings are available at most campsites in either park. Where the warm saltwater beaches meet forested hiking trails, Hipcampers can bask in stunning Pacific Northwest scenery while hiking through Olympic National Park. Take in the rugged mountain wilderness as well as the old-growth Douglas fir and western hemlock rainforest. Then, stock up on local produce at the Shelton Farmers Market for a nice dinner in the travel trailer at a back-in campsite in nearby RV parks—which may also feature restrooms and hot showers.

Please note, this is HARSTINE ISLAND, NOT HERRON. I haven't gotten Hipcamp to fix this yet. There is a bridge to the island and the coordinates offered for site are correct. The map says beach shore Rd but the physical sign says Klondike. Very clean commercially maintained outhouse now available! Beautiful peaceful forest with trails, a great spot for elopements (elopement package separate) and a beautiful meadow with a small ringed fire pit for one site and a movable fire pit for another.. 2 meadow sites in 5 acres, a forested tent sight coming. 70% of the Island is forestry but sound DOES carry a long way so it's not dead-quiet. Harstine Island has a BRIDGE, no ferry! One hammock is left up in the forest and there are places for your hammocks to be hung, as well. There is one spot on drive that is between two trees so you need to go slowly and be careful, 9 foot wide at wheel base only. Please take note of this. Easy for cars, a bit tricky for some trailer/RVs. Photo and video can be seen on webpage. Types of wildlife include barred owls, a nighthawk usually in summer can be seen at dusk, western alligator lizards, warblers, robins, crows, wrens, a bear has visited before (lucky me heard it 'woof' at me, bear didn't appreciate my singing), deer, others have seen red fox in the past but we have not been so lucky. Birder's paradise. One lovely review calls it a great place for forest bathing! Puget sound is SO clean here with a diverse salt water life. Orca and Humpback have been spotted nearby. You can track them at Orca Network or Puget Sound Whale Sightings on Facebook. Frequently people have seen orca making rounds with the incoming tide going under the bridge and circling the island! There is Jarrell Cove state park and a boat ramp at Latimer's Landing Boat Launch few miles way. There is a great local market at the community center Saturdays from 10-12 in the summer. No water view, this is heavy forest off a gravel drive into privacy. No power, no water, pack it in pack it out. Please be careful of deer when you are driving in and observe island speed limits. Familiarize yourself with the personal fire extinguisher at the site.

Serenity on Harstine Island is a peaceful waterfront property with 100+ feet of private shoreline on Case Inlet, in South Puget Sound. The natural beauty is breathtaking — sweeping water views, deer that frequent the adjacent woods, occasional orca sightings, and Mt. Rainier visible on clear days. The campsite has neighbors on only one side, and a gravel pathway makes beach access easy. Some of the things our guests love about the property: * Reading and watching sunsets from the bulkhead * Exploring the beach at low tide — calm, kid-friendly water * Launching kayaks, canoes, or stand-up paddleboards on the protected inlet * Stargazing — minimal light pollution * Late-summer sun-ripened blackberries on the property Important to know before booking: there is no toilet on the property and no garbage service. You must be in a self-contained RV/camper with its own bathroom, or bring a portable toilet and pack out all human waste. You also need to pack out all trash. The cabin and decks are private and off-limits to guests. The Island Shores Community Beach (with a boat launch ramp, just north of the house on the beach) is also private and not for camper use. Pets are welcome on a leash; a wildlife preserve with nesting birds sits next door, so leashes apply on the beach too. About 2 to 2.5 hours from Seattle via Tacoma and the Harstine Island bridge. We hope our guests enjoy the tranquility of this place as much as we do.
