About

Potlatch State Park Campground sits on 57 acres along the rocky estuary shoreline of Hood Canal in Mason County, Washington. The campground offers 38 standard campsites and 35 partial hookup sites for RVs, plus 2 hiker/biker sites, all nestled among mature pine forest with sweeping views of the Hood Canal. The park's name comes from the Skokomish Indian Tribe, who called this area "Enetai" meaning "beyond." The park combines the delights of sea and land with 5,700 feet of saltwater shoreline and year-round moorage buoys. The typically calm Hood Canal waters are ideal for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, water skiing, crabbing, and fishing. The estuary environment provides excellent opportunities for intertidal beach exploration, and clam and oyster harvesting are permitted in season with proper licensing. The calm, steady winds make it a popular spot for windsurfing and kite flying. Camping facilities include an amphitheater, fire circles, accessible restrooms, showers, drinking water (seasonal), and a dump station. The park is open year-round and operates on a first-come, first-served basis during winter months. Located conveniently on Highway 101, Potlatch serves as an excellent base camp for exploring the Olympic National Forest and the eastern Hood Canal region.
