Olympic Peninsula park with standard and full-utility camping, a 40-foot equipment limit, and direct access to Sequim Bay and the Olympic Discovery Trail.
Sequim Bay State Park sits in the Olympic rain shadow beside a sheltered saltwater bay. The campground offers standard and full-utility sites, showers, drinking water, and a trailer dump, and the park accommodates RVs and vehicle-trailer combinations up to 40 feet. Reservations are available for May 15 through September 15 arrivals, with first-come camping outside that period. The Lower Loop is currently closed for restroom construction, with reopening still to be determined by the park.
Sequim Bay State Park sits within the Olympic Peninsula's remarkable rain shadow — Sequim receives just 16 inches of rain per year while Olympic NP's rainforests 30 miles away receive over 140 — creating a Mediterranean-like microclimate exceptional for Washington. The bay's protected waters are prime habitat for harbor seals hauling out on floating dock platforms, and the Dungeness Spit National Wildlife Refuge — the longest natural sand spit in the United States at 5.5 miles — is just 7 miles west. The Strait of Juan de Fuca visible from the park's bluffs is the primary feeding ground for the Southern Resident orca population, and whale-watching opportunities are excellent from the park's elevated shoreline.
Practical guidance assembled from current operator maps, park pages, and clearly identified community observations.
Waterfront loop sites 1–23 looking out over the protected bay are the most popular — calm, sheltered, and beautiful. Hookup sites in Loops B and C are slightly inland but well-equipped for longer stays. The bay is completely protected and excellent for kayaking at any tide. Sequim's famous lavender farms are 10 minutes away. The campground drains well and is usable even after heavy rain.
