Each year, the commission publishes a winter schedule. It’s available at www.parks.wa.gov/parkschedule/. Four parks are open on weekends and holidays only.
Stay in cabins at Bay View, Camano Island, Cama Beach, Kitsap Memorial or Wallace Falls state parks. State parks that accept year-round camping reservations include Deception Pass on Whidbey Island.
