Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Deception Pass State Park adventure.
Bike, hike, swim, camp, and explore this deceptively ordinary Washington state park!
On the coast of Northwest Washington, Deception Pass doesn't deceive you on views or fun things to do. Walk along the sea cliffs or feel the sand under your toes in the dunes. Rosario Beach is a great place for kite flying or playing in the surf.
More than 30 miles of hiking trails make this park easy to explore. You can bring your horse and ride on the six miles of horse trails. Bike riders have their own trails.
Spread around the park, you find 172 tent campsites and 134 partial hookup sites for RVs. If you prefer hiking or biking to your accommodations, there are five primitive campsites. Keep clean in one of the 10 restrooms with showers spread throughout the park.
Want a little more comfort? Cornet Bay offers a lodge with all the comforts of home. You can retreat to one of the 16 cabins for some privacy. Enjoy stunning views of Puget Sound and Mount Baker from the Ben Ure Cabin. The only way to reach it is by non-motorized watercraft.
The best time to visit Deception Pass State Park is during the summer months, from 6:30am to dusk, when the weather is warm and all facilities are fully operational. Winter offers a quieter experience but be mindful of limited daylight hours and certain amenities being off-season.
