Located just north of Olympia, WA, and less than two hours away from Seattle, WA, Jarrell Cove State Park is a 97-acre marine park nestled on Harstine Island. The island has dense forests that are suitable for hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities. This state park was named after Philura Jarrell, the first pioneer woman who lived on the island.

Harstine Island used to be accessible only by water. A bridge was completed in 1969, allowing vehicles and RVs to get to the island. Nowadays, Jarrell Cove State Park is one of the most visited places in Puget Sound. Even though it is a small state park, campers will have a lot of things to do around here, depending on their interests. When you want to explore Jarrell Cove State Park yourself, search for an RV in Thurston County.
