VERY well maintained campground with 2 docks. A Discovery pass is needed but definitely worth it. They have shower facilities too. There are also hiking trails that are very beautiful. Very quiet during the week. Enjoy!

Get out your, compass and map because this 8s a little known off the beaten path gem of a spot to be amongst nature and wildlife. Harstine island is a remote island just outside of Shelton, Wa with a deer population that out numbers the residents 5 to 1. So be mindful as you drive over the Harstine Island Bridge to this hidden gem, being careful to watch for the borderline domesticated deer. There... Get out your, compass and map because this 8s a little known off the beaten path gem of a spot to be amongst nature and wildlife. Harstine island is a remote island just outside of Shelton, Wa with a deer population that out numbers the residents 5 to 1. So be mindful as you drive over the Harstine Island Bridge to this hidden gem, being careful to watch for the borderline domesticated deer. There are many! But dont go feeding the wildlife! Once you arrive you will find a small but well maintained resort with public bathrooms, campsites and rv hookups. There is the Spencer Lake Bar and Grill restaurant and gas station/store a mile or so before the bridge that boasts, great pizza, cocktails and dancing, with gas, propane diesel and other amenities across the street. So take a weekend and check out Jarrell Cove State Park and Spencer Lake Bar and Grill next time your in the Mason County zip code. You wont be disappointed!

I love camping at this place, the bathrooms are clean and showers are free. There are little paths and 2 docks. Very lovely small campsite. but there were so many squirrels or chipmunks trying to get our food. We had to put our food in the tent when we were gone and they got into our trash overnight so bring a tub for food

A nice quiet place to hang camp. It wasn't very busy when we were there. The deer were walking around eating the apples from the apple trees. There are a couple hiking trails around the park

Have they even repaired the ramp going up to the laundry facilities yet? I think that thing was broken almost the whole time I lived there. It was so frustrating to have the washer not working and have to go all the way to Shelton to go to a laundromat to do laundry.

The park has been through its share of good and bad times just like with any neighborhood your going to have good and bad elements come and go. The place gets a bad reputation because of the not so desirable individuals being let in but that does not reflect the majority of people living here. Most are low income or disabled and due to their financial situation find it hard to rent most places . T... The park has been through its share of good and bad times just like with any neighborhood your going to have good and bad elements come and go. The place gets a bad reputation because of the not so desirable individuals being let in but that does not reflect the majority of people living here. Most are low income or disabled and due to their financial situation find it hard to rent most places . The rent is very reasonable and do not discriminate against individuals with bad credit or minor criminal history's so you are going to get a few people who still have issues and cause problems for the other tenants who just want to be respected and live life in peace like another person rich or poor.
