Cama Beach State Park in Washington, USA - map and visitor information

Research checked: 2026-11-01. Check linked official notices before travel.

Cama Beach Historical State Park on Washington’s Camano Island is a day-use waterfront park overlooking Saratoga Passage. Plan around its trails and shoreline: the former overnight cabins remain permanently closed, while the beach has reopened subject to changing winter conditions.

Highlights

The park combines walking and biking trails with a former waterfront resort. A one-mile trail connects it with Camano Island State Park. For a short visit, choose a trail outing and a picnic rather than planning an overnight cabin stay.

Know before you go

Fees, hours, and seasonal access

Safety information

A seawall collapse prompted the earlier beach closure. Respect barriers around damaged structures and closed areas even when the shoreline is accessible. There are no lifeguards.

Visit responsibly

Keep dogs on a leash. Fires and horses are not allowed, and the park is for day use only.

Maps, location, and access

Use the park’s road address, 1880 SW Camano Drive, Camano Island, WA 98282. The official park page provides a visitor map; use the street address for arrival rather than treating a general map search as an entrance pin.

Nearby parks

• Camano Island State Park is the nearby island option at 2269 S Lowell Point Road. Its Canyon Trail and north beach staircase are closed; the south trail still reaches the beach.
• Kayak Point Regional County Park is a mainland road outing at 15610 Marine Drive, Stanwood. Its access road and northern day-use area are open, while the southern day-use area remains under construction, scheduled through November 3, 2026, subject to change.

Things to do

Walk or bike the park’s trails, with up to 15 miles listed by State Parks, or use the connecting trail to Camano Island State Park. Picnic tables are first-come, first-served. Weekly interpretive opportunities run from mid-June through Labor Day.

Facilities and accessibility

The Welcome Station is listed as open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For toilets during the septic-system closures, portable units are provided in parking lots A and C and on the beach. Plan around those specific temporary facilities rather than assuming the closed restrooms are available.

About the park

Washington State Parks manages Cama Beach as a historical state park.

History

The former resort had a general store, boathouse, and fishing-village-style cabins. Infrastructure failures ended cabin use in February 2024; the commission voted in October 2024 to keep those cabins permanently closed in their present location.
