Grand opening summer 2008
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission will celebrate
the grand opening of Cama Beach State Park on June 21, 2008. The new state park is on the southwest
shore of Camano Island facing Saratoga Passage. Cama Beach offers visitors a chance to step back in
time to a 1930s-era Puget Sound fishing resort complete with waterfront cedar cabins and bungalows.
These have been refurbished, with modern conveniences added, and are available for rent year round
to individuals and groups.
For information or reservations, call (360) 387-1550.
Historic getaway close to home
Within a 90-minute drive of Seattle, Cama Beach offers day and overnight visitors alike a
"time capsule" experience. The historic fishing resort was a favorite summer getaway for families
for more than 50 years. The area, used for centuries by Native Americans for fishing and hunting,
looks out on sweeping views of the Sound, with Whidbey Island and the Olympic Mountains beyond.
