For staff training, the Tumwater Headquarters lobby and Information Center will be closed on Friday, Dec. 1. We will not be taking appointments during this time. Our Information Center will not be answering phone calls, but you can leave a voicemail. Or, email infocent@parks.wa.gov.
Fires allowed in all designated fire pits and grills. Propane and gas grills allowed.
The day-use area and restroom will be closed beginning November 15 though the end of February. The closure is due to flooding caused by rainfall and king tides. Sani cans are available near the shellfish beach trailhead north of the Dosewallips River Bridge.

Visit the mountains or beach at Dosewallips State Park. Dig for clams or watch a herd of elk wander through camp. This diverse and dynamic park is perfect for a day trip or overnight stay.
Guests may share space with the local elk herds that wander through camp. Stay back 100 feet, and never offer food.
The park does not have a formal swimming area, but park visitors may enjoy swimming in the river. Please note the river can be swift and not suitable for young children.

Dosewallips State Park is a year-round camping park with 5 miles of shoreline on Hood Canal and the Dosewallips River. All camp areas are grassy and located in scenic, rustic settings.
Bring your fishing poles and shovels to collect freshwater or saltwater fish, clams, oysters and crabs.
Freshwater activities are nearby on the banks of the Dosewallips River, and saltwater activities can be found on nearby Hood Canal. There is a watercraft launch 7 miles south of the park at Triton Cove State Park.
The park provides a kitchen shelter without electricity, and sheltered picnic tables. There are braziers and restrooms nearby.
The campground has cabins, standard and utility sites. The park accommodates RVs and combinations of 40 feet or less in length.
During winter months (Nov. 15 through March 1), the campground is winterized and only sites 21-29 have water. Winter water supply is still available.
In summer months, campfire programs are conducted on most weekends.
