Park overview:
Deception Pass State Park is a 4,134-acre marine and camping park with 77,000 feet of saltwater shoreline, and 33,900 feet of freshwater shoreline on three lakes. Rugged cliffs drop to meet the turbulent waters of Deception Pass. The park is outstanding for breath-taking views, old-growth forests and abundant wildlife.
Please note: U.S. Navy jets from nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey Island may fly over the campground at any time for several hours. Navy personnel conduct training missions which are not announced ahead of time. Depending on the direction of the wind, their flight pattern may put them above the park, creating noisy conditions for campers. State Parks cannot be responsible for this significant intrusion into your camping experience.
Bowman Bay restroom closed: Due to sewer problems, the restroom at the Bowman Bay campground is closed until further notice. Portable toilets are available. Because of this closure, reservations are not currently being accepted, and a primitive camping fee of $14 is charged at Bowman Bay campsites. Staff is working to find a solution as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience. Reservations and a restroom are still available at the Cranberry Lake Campground. Please check this Web site for updates.
