We used to camp here often when we had the 5th wheel. Good place to get to the coast from Olympia, the grandkids liked it, plenty to do. The wife and I could go into town and get seafood, or eat at one of the resturants. There is also a Casino nearby, but I think they are over priced. The only reason we didn’t use thei s aprk more is that its close to the Pacific Beach Military Recreation Area and we usually went there. At Pac Beach we could rent houses and bring all the kids and grandkids up.
