Samish Island Bluff

Thank you for a great experience!

We loved camping at the Samish Island Bluff site. Beautiful views, fairly private, & a great layout. Added bonus with the park so close. The surrounding neighborhood was really nice for long walks with views. We will be coming back. FYI: We have a Truck with a slide in camper, total length of 24 feet. We needed to slightly angle the truck on the site to allow for our steps out the back. No issues, but something to consider if you are pushing the 24 feet.

We had the most wonderful time. Plenty of room to park our 23 foot rig. The views were outstanding! We had planned on spending some time adventuring but loved the spot so much that we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave the island. We spent 3 blissful days reading, chatting, watching the wildlife, and listening to the ocean waves. The hosts were lovely. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful and unique spot!

What an excellent spot! Love love loved the deck and table and covered space. A secret little gem of a tent platform was down below. Lovely - we will return! (The CLEAN porta potty at the park just a short walk frm the site is there if you don’t want to use your own off grid buckets and such!)

Best Hipcamp ever!

What an amazing little spot with expansive views! The covered deck is a plus, making it the perfect site for rainy overnights. Excellent walks. Great eating in the nearby little town of Edison. We have already booked another weekend.

Overnight in the rooftop tent

Loved the setting and really enjoyed the spacious decking for hanging out. Access to the beach was close and easy.
