Notable Campgrounds
- Best for water views: Sites 7, 9, 11, 13, and 13A at the Kayak Point Campground offer the best views of the bay.
- Best for comfort: Ten yurts each sleep five in a cozy space with heat, electricity, and picnic tables and fire pits outside.
- Best for paddlers: Several beach campsites offer water trail camping for visitors arriving and departing on human- or wind-powered beachable watercrafts.
Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation
- Plan well in advance if you want to camp in mid to late summer. Campsites can be reserved up to 270 days in advance, and may require a two-night stay over weekends.
- Try to visit during the week, during a non-holiday period, or in winter for the best chance at a campsite.
- If you don’t have a reservation, show up first thing in the morning to grab any unreserved sites. Walk-ups for campsites not accepted after sunset.
When to Go
Summers are the busiest times at the park, when you should plan to arrive by noon before the parking lots fill up. Whale watching season is from April to June, while sea lions can be spotted in winter and early spring. The best time to spot waterfowl and marine birds is in fall, winter, and spring. Crabbing season is from July to early September, from Thursdays to Mondays only. From November to February, the south shelter and some day-use area restrooms are closed.

Kayak Point Regional County Park
Enjoy saltwater, wildlife, and easy camping at this Port Susan beach park.
It’s easy to see why Kayak Point is Snohomish County’s most popular park. The saltwater beach park offers 3,300 feet of picturesque shoreline with sandy beaches, beachside picnic shelters, a fishing pier and boat launch, and lush evergreen forests. Fish or crab off the 300-foot pier, or look for seals, sea lions, and gray whales in the waters and bald eagles and other birds in the air. More active visitors can go windsurfing, kayaking, or scuba diving. Plan ahead if you want to spend the night though, as there are only 30 RV and tent sites, four water trail sites, 10 yurts, and one cottage.
