2 reviews for Seal Rock Campground
The sites here are top notch, clean, private and many are just steps to the beach. I use the word beach loosely. This is a narrow, rocky, typically Northwest beach even at low tide, but if you love oysters this is the place to go. In fact, I can't believe more oyster lovers don't show up here. Do they love oysters but hate camping? Yes, you shuck them on the beach, but remember, your site is probably just steps away. We had fresh oysters for dinner around a campfire. Actually, I don't like oysters, but the kids were happy. Don't forget to buy a permit first. Lots of kayakers here, and lots of day hikes nearby up and down Highway 101. Not much else to do, but they do have a couple of accessible trails with interpretive signs. It's a good weekend getaway on Hood Canal and less than a 2 hour ferry and drive from Seattle.
like the last woman said this is a typical northwest beach, you must learn to deal with the rocks and oyster shells (and the short hike to the waterfront, mind the poison ivy). but this beach is well known by locals for having the warmest water in the area, and if you're not a-scared then you can swim side by side with the curious seals and have quite an interesting evening with some of the local freaks aka peeps who live in the woods. if you're tired of intellectual conversations and wanna chill in mother nature with some more simple folk then this is def the place for you.
