Deception Pass State Park, Oak Harbor

Beautiful beach. Awesome place to camp! The sites are privates and a good size. From the campground you have access to the beach, the lake and the trails all the way to the bridge and eve a little further, where you get a nice view from the top of the hill. The lake is one of my kids favorite activity to do during the summer. The water is nice and warm, there's a good sand area to build castle and picnic tables to snack. The trails are easy to intermediate it's not enough path to walk the whole day but It's definitely enough to keep the family busy for a few hours (2-3 with young children). That bridge is one of the most amazing places to be to catch the sunrise!!! 🤩

We didn't have nearly enough time to really enjoy the park, and this early in the season concessions like the kayaks weren't operating and the temperatures were too cold to swim. But the beach was just gorgeous and the rest-rooms were clean. We saw quite a few folks fishing in the area, but don't know what they used for bait (or how successful they were.) Definitely worth checking-out, I imagine this park gets pretty busy in the summer!
