Washington State Parks' winter schedule says most parks stay open all year with operational changes in winter, parks with campgrounds may close some sites or turn off water, and many offer first-come, first-served winter camping. Reservations run May 15 to September 15 on washington.goingtocamp.com, the reservable season. There are 37 standard reservable campsites and sixteen hiker/biker sites that are available first-come, first-served. Campground Closes: Partial. Campground Reopens: Open. All open sites are first-come, first-served Sept. 16 - May 14. Sites 1-42 closed Nov. 1 - March 1. Site 43-50 are walk-in only with a compost toilet nearby.
