3/24/2020 During COVID-19 this campground will remain closed until further notice. Porcupine Bay Campground and Boat Launch includes 39 campsites, seasonal flush facilities and fish cleaning station, swim beach, and boat launch.
From Davenport: Take WA-25 north for 12 miles. Take a slight right on on Porcupine Bay Road. Follow for 6.5 miles to Porcupine Bay campground. Road ends at the campground.
Used the boat launch. It was great, however extremely busy on a Saturday. Not a single parking spot left
Spent a week there and had a great time. Went to hawk Creek to see the waterfall.
Wonderful campground! Paved pads for RVs/vehicle parking. There are no hookups, but good exposure for RV solar panels. Each site has a firepit. Bring your own firewood as there is nowhere to purchase it close by. Water spigots throughout the park, clean restrooms (no showers,) and beautiful sandy beach with large swimming area. The campground is right next to a public boat launch. The boat slips are on a first-come-first-served basis, but you can also tie up along the beach in front of the campground. It seems advance reservations are a must. There is a scannable QR code at the kiosk to reserve a site online, but no one in our party had cell service (t mobile/at&t) so this would not have worked for us. We visited in early June and found the campground was not too busy yet and very serene! The check-in process is easy. Make sure to have your confirmation email downloaded or printed in advance, transfer this info to one of the green slips at the kiosk, and clip to your site post.
Camp host Rick is just fantastic! He is so helpful and friendly, and keeps a close eye on the entire campground. We watched his interactions with our group and other guests around the park, and noticed how observant he is! He would do a quick drive by when a new guest arrived, but if they were in the middle of setting up camp/situating an RV, he would quietly leave and return after the guest was finished. This is such a small gesture, but it shows how considerate he is. He takes great care of the grounds and is always happy to answer questions.
My only negative feedback is that most sites do not have a level place for a tent. The entire park is built on a hill, and while the paved parking spots are quite level, we were unable to find a good tent spot. Just slept with our heads uphill! It would be nice to carve out some tent pads if more work is done in the future. All in all we had a great weekend and will definitely be back.
Once again we had a wonderful stay at Porcupine Bay. Rick and Cheri, the camp hosts were so friendly and accomodating. They were great at keeping things under control at the campground but still allowed folks to have a good time. We always look forward to our stay here!
