“warm water- naturally!”
Twanoh State Park, situated on the shoreline of Hood Canal, features one of the warmest saltwater beaches in Washington state. This is because Hood Canal is one of the warmest saltwater bodies in Puget Sound. The 182-acre marine camping park has 3,167 feet of saltwater shoreline. The name of the park derives from the Native American Twana tribes, better known as the Skokomish, who made their home in the area. Twanoh is popular for shellfish harvesting. A shellfish license is required. Oyster beds are seeded annually, providing for ample harvests. There is a winter smelt run along the park beaches. In late fall, there is a chum salmon run in Twanoh Creek, but the creek is closed to fishing. Visitors also enjoy other recreational activities, including hiking, fishing, swimming, water skiing, and wildlife viewing.

Stayed one night during busy holiday on the way to the coast. Sites are very close together and cramped and sloped downward, and I had to use extra blocks to level. Beach was across the road and very scenic but rocky, good for exploring but not lounging. Nice trail for hiking. Alderbrook Resort is down the road so a few good restaurants but no larger markets. Restrooms were just ok. Belfast State Park is farther north and a better option for large trailers and motor homes.

The pros are the sites are shady and right across the street from a nice beach/walking area and full hookups (30 amp).
Good cell here (Verizon, T mobile and ATT were all over 7mbps unboosted). All major stations OTA.
The area is gorgeous and there are lots of cute little shops and restaurants to explore. The beach is rocky and has a lot of shells but still nice to walk on.
The cons are this campground is tiny. I barely fit into my site. In fact my front tires ate some tree stumps getting in. I have a 34ft class A. I believe they should probably not take anything over 32ft here with the awkward layout and tight turns.
The sites are placed haphazardly and people are right up on one another. Everyone has their campfires going and due to the lack of space between sites you can't even have your windows open it's so smokey. I'm not very sensitive to smoke at all and it as out of control here. For the price of $42/night this is high for a state park. I heard there was a larger state park nearby which is better suited for large vehicles. I wish I had done more research on that.

Sites in this park almost overlap each other. Pull throughs very close to back ins making it extremely difficult to come and go with a toad. The awnings of your neighbors rig just about touch your rig. We fit our 35 ft Motorhome in the spot but very unlevel and tight. Also the park was extremely noisy being so close to the highway. Very tight roads to maneuver through the park and lots of tree logs along the side of the roads. Lots of dogs off leash running around and their didn’t seem to be any real management of the park. Also definitely a party destination.

We loved our stay here at Twanoh State park, some of the sites are kind of tight and bigger rigs (over 30 feet) will need to be in the front of the campground ( where there will be road noise). We barely got 2 30 foot trailers into sites on the back side of the campground. Some of the spots on the backside have creek access with soothing sounds. If you have a smaller (20-25 ft trailer) this will open up more spots at the campground. Plus having the state park right across the street was good to get to see the sights of the Puget sound. This park will really shine during the hot summer months as it is heavily shaded at all times. Great state park campground. We filmed a couple videos here for our Youtube channel including a complete site by site review of the campground. - Unique Adventurez
On a sunny day, this park is wonderful, with a nice stream and old(ish) growth forest trail. We had T12 next to the stream, which is my favorite location in this small park. No Verizon reception, and typically mediocre state park bathrooms, though.

Beautiful park close to the water with plenty of open spaces and things to do. As mentioned, the waters around the park is very warm especially during summer, making it a great spot for some family bonding. Very picturesque and close to Hood canal too, but can get pretty crowded during peak season.
