Went one time with my family and friends. The park is not very clean and unfortunately, the water quality at the bottom of the Hood Canal is really cloudy and dirty. Not a fault of the park.

Went camping here for this past 4th of July weekend. Campsite was smaller than what I’m used to and the area was not well kept. Headed to the«beach» where my dog was harassed by multiple dogs off their leash. Also, the beach area is not a beach at all but rather mud and old shells clumped together. Needless to say I was not impressed and can understand why this still had campsites available the weekend of.

My husband and I camped here last summer and really enjoyed ourselves. They recently opened a new section of campground that was formerly owned by Minerva Beach that has more RV hookup sites, and if you head up the hill there are some great tent camping sites which is what we did. There is a coin-operated laundromat in the parking lot and pay showers in the bathrooms in the older campground area. The day-use area has great waterfront access to Hood Canal. There is a large grassy area with scattered picnic tables and grills. There is a reservable shelter with picnic tables underneath that looks like it would be great for a summer group get together. You can dig for clams and oysters when they are in season, just make sure you have a shellfish license and shuck the oysters on the beach because you are not allowed to take the shells. Potlatch is a popular site for scuba diving due to its easy descent. Unfortunately, the park lost most of its trails to the access road that the Skokomish are building, but there is still a small trail you can follow if you explore the park. Potlatch is only 3 miles south of Hoodsport which has a winery and some cute local shops. Lake Cushman is also a short drive away. A great park for those wanting to visit Hood Canal!
