Fay Bainbridge State Park is a 17-acre marine camping park with 1,420 feet of saltwater shoreline on the northeast corner of Bainbridge Island. The park offers sweeping views of Puget Sound, the Cascade Mountains and two volcanoes.
Facility use is first come, first served, with continuous moorage limited to three consecutive nights. A special attraction of this park is the scenic view of Puget Sound, the Cascade Mountain range, and the Seattle metropolitan area from the camping and day use areas.
Camping, picnicking, beachcombing, hiking, fishing, scuba diving, boating, clamming, and crabbing are some of the activities enjoyed in the park. The low rolling hills and sheltered inland salt water that make up the Puget Sound basin produce a mild, marine climate characterized by wintertime clouds, rain, and sometimes a light snow, but lots of summertime sunshine.
This area averages 51 inches of precipitation per year. At the park entrance is a display of a bell donated by the Kitsap County Historical Society. This bell was brought to the area from San Francisco in 1883 by Captain Jeremiah Farnham. The bell was to proclaim important community events to the citizens of Port Madison. The park was acquired in 1944 from Mr. And Mrs. Temple S. Fay.
