Hours of operation are typically 9 a.m. - Noon, and 1- 4 p.m., but may vary depending on the time of year. When entering the park, take a right at the 4-way stop and look for the park office sign on the left side of the road (parking is across the street).

Camping The Beach Campground offers full-hookup sites with level, spacious sites, most with views of Admiralty Inlet. The Upper Forest Campground has partial-hookup sites in a forested, more private setting. Both campgrounds have easy access to trails and restrooms with showers. Maximum site length is 75 feet with limited availability. Reservations are necessary year-round as campsites are popular and fill quickly. Camper check-in can be done at the park office or through self-registration at the campground bulletin board.

Please note, there is a prickly native ground covering plant in the grassy areas around the Beach Campground. For more information, please read the Sandmat Flyer in English or the Spanish version of the Sandmat Flyer.
