    I go here to read every once in a while. Small, quiet park with a cool little stream. Nothing spectacular, just a nice park.

    We were passing through after visiting Olympic Park and looking for a hiking spot in the area. Lake…read moreSylvia seemed like a possibility so we stopped off last Sunday around 10am. There were a few hikers there, but otherwise mostly those preparing to fish. We didn't visit the camping section, but they've got a decent sized day-use area with a good amount of parking, tables, and restrooms. We took the forest loop trail that leads from the lake along the stream through the forest and back around to the day-use, about 2 1/2 miles. There are sections of the trail that are simply gorgeous, and other parts not quite as pretty. But the trail is pretty fun, ups and downs, winding with steps and bridges. While the path is completely passable right now, it was very muddy in many places. A bit precarious at times, as some of the soupiest, slickest spots happened to be on inclines and declines. You'll definitely need waterproof shoes and prepare to get dirty, but Sylvia is good for a quick hike. They've got some interesting educational info along the trail too...and the lake has a very peaceful feeling.

    This place is quite the gem for a family trip ! Camping is very reasonably priced. Our walk in…read moreprimitive sight was $20 a night. If you have children the walk in spots are best because the are closest to the swimming and playground and bathrooms! There are plenty of amazing trails and all well kept! ***WATER FALL ALERT*** yes there is a waterfall and also a really neat dam that creates a man man water fall affect . Fishing is aloud (no motor I believe) Dogs on leash Swim at your own risk Drinks aloud (I think ... I see lots of them) Also a group camping site that is at the top of a hill and looks down at the water. Easily fits 8-10 tents and has a covered shelter ! Perfect for a family reunion camping trip and honestly a beautiful place to even consider as a wedding venue.

    This is a clean park and the hosts are GREAT! That being said..... it's sort of a parking lot with…read moregrass... little to no trees or planting between your neighbor and your rv. The clubhouse is beautiful, LARGE, clean and cozy! Lots of activities and great food. A newish thing is that it sides a building area with a Burger King and a strip mall on the way. So it lost its cozy feel that I'm sure at some point it had being down in a valley. There's just something missing that would make this park super cozy..... I don't quite know what it is, nor do I think it's anyone's fault. Suffice to say...If you are looking for cozy this may not be the spot. Clean and organized and cable and sewer and power!

As I rode past the K&M office, I encountered Bruce Atiken, the husband of the park manager, Nancy Aitken. Mr.Aitkens yelled, "Slow down, slow down," and stopped me near the office, Aitken then proceeded at aggressively and got in my face, he then started yelling again, that I was exceeding the speed limit while operating my electric scooter. During the encounter, Bruce Aitken and Nancy Aitken raised their voices and continued yelling at me. I asked both individuals to de-escalate the situation and remain professional; however, they continued yelling. I then asked if they could articulate or provide an estimate of how fast they believed I was traveling on my electricscooter that goes nor more then mabey 13 miles per hr and im 250 pound man. They did not answer my question and continued telling me to "slow down." At that point, I chose to end the interaction by riding away from the area to avoid any further escalation. No further contact or issues occurred following the incident. This statement is a true and accurate summary of the events as I observed them on the above date and time. **Reporting Party:** John Boucher **Date:** June 29, 2026 Km Travel inn resort needs to look into the park manger. These two elderly people are unhinged and unethical, neither of them have perfesionallism or nor how to entract with public or guest of the resort. Other guest that live here state they dont fill comfortable around the Aitkens.

My only complaint about this park is the day use area is not easily found. We did not camp here, but ended up driving through both campgrounds trying to figure out where to park. There is a sign pointing to beach access, but until you go down that road, you don't know it's part of the park.

    We came upon Twin Harbors by accident last week when driving home from Olympic Park. We try to at…read moreleast briefly stop by every state park we pass when out hiking and exploring. On the coast with some winding little trails under the trees and through the sand, the day use area and one row of campground sites were open. We decided to take the trails on a short leg-stretcher just to see what Twin Harbors was all about. Up and over the sandy dunes and around muddy patches we weaved for a mile or so, and back through the campground to the van. The beaches were empty, a few campers staying overnight, and a handful of cars coming and going from day use. It felt pretty peaceful at Twin Harbors, we would've happily grabbed a site for a night if we weren't heading home. Probably wouldn't be more to do here for more than one night, but it's a low-key spot for a stopover or picnic.

Two showers were unavailable supposedly because of vandalism, but shouldn't they be fixed and open? The women's washroom had no soap for at least two days and the men's was running out of TP when we left. The shower could definitely use updating since you couldn't aim the shower head and the room should have been cleaned more often. The tent campsites across from us were tiny compared to other campgrounds. You have to park your car in the space allowed leaving not enough of room for a large tent, but most of the tent campers were couples with smaller tents. We rented the two yurts for 4 nights. The site for each yurt is quite large since it looked like the site formally was for 2 tent sites. They have a single outlet and a heater. The mattress pads were a joke and thankfully we brought a blow up mattress just in case. The yurt was much smaller than the cabins at other Washington State campgrounds so we had to organize kitchen utensils, etc. on the floor. The yurts have a bunkbed, twin on top and full lower. Our yurt had no ladder to get to the top, but our daughter's family's did have a ladder. (They didn't have blow up mattresses and I don't know how they managed to sleep. Our daughter did say she had bruises because the mattress sunk to the boards underneath.) Would we go back? Well, if it's just my wife and I, then we'd find a nice rental (and admittedly pay a lot more).

    No hook ups but it is all about the view. Sites are a parking lot of larger rvs or trailers but…read morethe view opens up the space. Most older couples with dogs in the fall. The weather is 70 today with beautiful sunset. Wish I could stay a week! Spots 2-20 are the best.
