Twanoh State Park

How does a campground combine historical charm, waterfront recreation, and modern amenities? Twanoh State Park Campground, located on the southern shore of the Hood Canal near Union, Washington, offers just that, all in a picturesque setting steeped in both natural beauty and cultural heritage.

This 188-acre marine park boasts 3,167 feet of pristine saltwater shoreline, home to one of Washington’s warmest beaches on the Hood Canal—perfect for swimming, kayaking, and shellfish harvesting. The campground features 47 sites, including 22 full-hookup options and 25 tent spaces, situated among towering old-growth trees that enhance the peaceful, forested atmosphere. Amenities include flush restrooms, showers, RV hookups, fire pits, and a camp store. Several sites are close to historic structures built during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps, adding a unique architectural element to the experience.

Twanoh’s location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, as it’s within a short walk to the Hood Canal for paddling or crabbing, and only a 20-minute drive to the town of Belfair for additional dining or supplies. On-site, visitors can hike 2.5 miles of forested trails along a salmon-filled creek or explore the beach at low tide to catch glimpses of local marine life. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, Twanoh State Park offers an unforgettable combination of tranquility, activities, and scenic vistas.
