Late June through early September offers the driest, warmest weather and the best conditions for swimming, paddling, and beach walks. July and August are peak season, so weekend sites book up early and arriving midweek is easier for RVers. May, June, and September are excellent shoulder-season options with mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and long daylight hours.

Things to do at Camano Island State Park
- Saltwater Beach and Shoreline EasyRV parking available
The park's saltwater beach stretches along Saratoga Passage and is a prime spot for beachcombing, tide pooling, and watching for seabirds and marine life. The gravel-and-sand shoreline is easy to access from the day-use area and campground. Low tide reveals shells, sea stars, and kelp.
- Al Emerson Nature Trail EasyRV parking available
A short, family-friendly loop through mature second-growth forest with interpretive signage about local flora and ecology. The trail is relatively flat and connects with other park paths for longer walks. A good choice for a quick leg-stretch from the campground.
- Forest and Bluff Trails ModerateRV parking available
The park offers several miles of interconnected trails winding through Douglas fir and cedar forest and out to bluff-top viewpoints. Expect gentle to moderate grades and occasional roots and steps. Viewpoints look west across Saratoga Passage toward Whidbey Island.
- Boat Launch and Paddling EasyRV parking available
A single-lane concrete boat launch provides direct saltwater access for small boats, kayaks, and paddleboards. Calm morning conditions are typical in summer, making it a good starting point for exploring the shoreline. Watch tides and currents before heading out.
- Picnic Areas and Shelters EasyRV parking available
Reservable picnic shelters and open picnic areas sit near the beach with views across the water. Tables, grills, and restrooms make this a convenient midday stop for RV day-trippers. Several shelters are accessible from parking areas without a long walk.
- Wildlife Viewing EasyRV parking available
Bald eagles, great blue herons, harbor seals, and occasionally gray whales or orcas can be spotted from the park's beach and bluffs. Early morning and evening are the best times for wildlife activity. Bring binoculars for offshore sightings.
- Cama Beach Historical State Park Connection ModerateRV parking available
A trail link connects Camano Island State Park to neighboring Cama Beach Historical State Park, home to preserved 1930s fishing cabins and additional shoreline. The walk between the two parks is scenic and mostly forested. Day-use parking is available at both ends.

How to get to Camano Island State Park
From Seattle, the drive is about 70 miles north via I-5 and WA-532, taking roughly 90 minutes depending on traffic. From Everett it is about 45 miles, and from Bellingham about 75 miles. RV travelers reach the island by bridge over Davis Slough, so no ferry is required, but the final approach uses narrow, winding rural roads with tight turns near the park entrance, so long rigs should drive slowly and watch for low-hanging branches. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
