Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Spencer Spit State Park adventure.
Enjoy a sunrise over a quiet lagoon at this island park about three hours north of Seattle.
This beautiful park sits on Lopez Island but is conveniently accessible by car or ferry. Mooring buoys allow you to sleep off the coast on your own boat. There are also a total of 37 campsites if you're partial to solid ground.
For the most memorable camping experience, try to snag one of the seven beachfront sites. The view on the waterfront during sunset and sunrise is absolutely gorgeous.
Note that you won't have a lot of privacy from other campers, though! You also won't have too much in the way of amenities. There are no electrical or water hookups at the single-use campsites. However, one of the park's three group camps does provide access to electricity and water.
If you like seeking out your own seafood, this is an excellent spot. Crabbing and clamming are both rewarding endeavors here. You can also kick back with some traditional saltwater fishing.
The best time to visit Spencer Spit State Park is during the summer months, from 8am to dusk, when the weather is warm and all facilities are open. Winter offers a serene escape, though some amenities may be limited. Avoid burn bans and check for seasonal closures before planning your trip.
