My wife and I had a fantastic camping trip at Deception Pass State Park! We stayed in our trailer at site #318, which had a 30-amp hookup and was easy to access. The site was clean, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful trees — a great balance of privacy and nature. The campground itself was peaceful and well-maintained, with plenty of room to walk and explore. We really appreciated how quiet it was in the evenings — perfect for relaxing after a day outdoors. Overall, a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back again!

Beautiful park, second time being here. Outstanding views where you can see seals, fish, and sometimes the brave human in a kayak. You can park and then walk on the bridge. Note, don’t be alarmed when the bridge vibrates when the cars onboard onto it, it’s normal and safe. Do pay attention but have fun.

If you love a great short hike we awesome views, this is a killer spot. Competitive parking, bit there are spots and pull offs on both sides of the bridge. Traffic drives fast. Be careful.

Deception Pass State Park is one of the most spectacular places in Washington State. From hiking trails through lush forests to watching the powerful waters under the bridge, every corner is picture-perfect. Families and pet owners will love it here. Entry is affordable at $10 per day or $30 for the annual pass. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Pacific Northwest.

Perfect Picnic Spot with Stunning Views🏖️ Visited Deception Pass State Park yesterday and had such a lovely time! We brought along some tea and enjoyed a peaceful picnic on a bench right in front of the beach the view was absolutely breathtaking. After that, we went for a walk and took in the scenic beauty all around. The fresh air, water views, and surrounding greenery made it such a refreshing experience. It was also wonderful to spend time here with family and our dog, it’s a very pet-friendly spot. The park is well-maintained and perfect for a relaxing day trip. Highly recommend visiting for anyone looking to enjoy nature, have a picnic, or just slow down and take in some beautiful views.

There is so much to explore at Deception Pass. It's great for day trips but you could easily spend a few days trekking the area. The towering trees that surround the hills, spits and waters are incredible to marvel at. 🌲⛰️🌊 The trails here are well maintained and I love the woodsy old signs. 🥾🪵

Fun for everyone! Bowman Bay has great scenery and trails ranging from flat ground to uphill dirt, secret cliff lookouts, long beaches, grass hillsides above the ocean and more. It can be quite windy so bring a layer (even if sunny) and your sunscreen as many areas are exposed to the sun. You can find plenty of shade however. As of 5/20/22 the main dock is still closed to renovations. Bring your discovery pass or pay $10/day to park.

Honestly, I thought it was a pretty nice place. Sorry that I can't say much more than that, I was kinda distracted by all of my cousins on my dads side of the family. Been a long time since we've all been together that way. It was a really nice visit!

Beautiful state park with thriving wildlife. It offers camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, kayaking, picnic. Stunning views and picture opportunities. The bridge is walkable, make sure to take a walk across. Currents can be very fast flowing in opposite directions that makes large whirlpools. Very busy on weekends

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!
