Beautiful park, sandy beach, very quiet, nice camp sites. Vault toilets are reasonably clean and low odor. Road can be a bit dusty if people don't obey speed limits and drive too fast.
We had a great time- kayaked over to Lopez island for a bit & around the nearby bays. Clean camping grounds.
Paddled here as part of the Cascadia Marine Trail. In late September, we were the only people in the entire campground (including car powered!). The tide goes ridiculously far out at low tide. The campground itself was clean. Several spots for kayak access tents in a larger shared space. A bit of a walk up from the beach but no more than 5 minutes. Water was provided and a pit toilet. The view is pretty solid of the bay with a small walk and all in all a super peaceful night and happy memories!
Our family has been visiting Shaw since the 80's, and I have always seen it as a magical place. The sand is warm, the waves are peaceful, the trees are like old friends.
Such a great campground! Quite beautiful beach with everything you could want
