About

Kitsap Memorial is a 63-acre state park in Washington, managed by the state park agency and sitting about half a mile from the community of Lofall. Within its boundaries is a single campground, making it a compact base for an overnight stay rather than a sprawling destination. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a weather station at Quilcene, about 12 miles away, put July and August highs near 77°F with lows around 51 to 52°F, while winter days hover in the mid-40s with nights near freezing. More to explore lies within a few miles. Clearcut Trails and Millie's Trail are both about 2.3 miles off, the Derailed mountain biking route is roughly 2.7 miles away, and Port Gamble Heritage Park, a climbing area, is about 3.1 miles from the park.
