| State Park Overview: |
| Illahee State Park is a 75-acre marine camping park with 1,785 feet of saltwater frontage on Port Orchard Bay. "Illahee" means "earth" or "country" in the Indian tradition, and views of Puget Sound from the Illahee beach give the viewer a sense of what that word meant to native people. The park has plenty of parking space, lots of fresh air, facilities for a number of outdoor activities and access to a variety of water sports. |

Beautiful Olympic and Sound Views
Hidden jewel that is near town. Great hiking trails but very steep. Clean well kept with vigilent Ranger services. Small RVs only less than 36 ft. Only space 25 safely accomdates slides and awnings. 24 dollars gets you full hook-ups with 50amp service. Conveniently located by the Sound and a short walk but very steep down to the waters edge. Fish crab clam swim picnic.

TRULY A STATE TREASURE!!!
My wife and I discovered this park years ago and go there 3-4 times a year to camp. The views are spectacular, the trails are challenging, the security is top notch and the park is kept so clean its unbelievable! Their are memorials to visit! The ocean front is just down the hill where you can walk the beach and the large dock. Once you are camping you forget where you really are do to its excellent location, and yet nearby stores are only minutes away! Need firewood? No problem they have it! Excellent bath facilities as well! Take the journey to Illahee State Park for a weekend adventure and tell them Mike sent you!
