Olympia Boat-In Campsites At Steamboat Rock Set To Close On June 1

Press release from Washington State Parks:

May 26, 2021

OLYMPIA – May 26, 2021 – Washington State Parks announces the permanent closure of 12 boat-in campsites in the Ponderosa Campground at Steamboat Rock State Park, located near Electric City.

The closure will begin just after the Memorial Day weekend on Tuesday, June 1. At that time, the campground will convert to a day-use only area with 900 feet of shoreline available for picnicking and exploring.

With the closure of the boat-in campsites, Steamboat Rock still will have nearly 70 primitive, first-come, first-served campsites in two picturesque inlets — Osborn Bay and Jones Bay campgrounds.
