If you love camping, the Pacific Northwest is definitely the perfect place for you. Whether you prefer to sleep under the stars by a rushing river or take your tent deep into the mountains, Washington especially is full of amazing spots. Kayak Point Park is an area that is often used as a day trip destination — but it’s actually a fantastic place to camp. From its 3,300 feet of shoreline to its evergreen forests, it’s a true hidden gem.

Kayak Point Park is located in Snohomish County, nestled along the shores of picturesque Port Susan near the town of Stanwood.

This means you'll have more privacy than you will at most other campgrounds. The sites are all partial utility, which means power and water hook-ups are available.
In addition to the 30 standard campsites, the park offers 10 yurts for a unique camping experience.

The yurts are ADA accessible, have power (but no bathrooms or running water), and can sleep up to 5. Some of them have picnic tables, decks, and fire rings.
Wherever you end up setting up camp, make sure to catch the sunset over the water.
