Construction of a new building is taking place at Camp McKean throughout the summer of 2012. Due to construction, access to some areas of the park is restricted. The upper field, volleyball court, and lower parking lot will all be closed during this time. We expect to be fully operational for the summer of 2013.
|
Camp McKean is located five miles west of Naval Base Kitsap Bremerton along the Kitsap Lake shoreline. The park is primarily for summer day use in support of Navy commands and authorized Fleet & Family Readiness patrons.
The site includes a seasonal swimming beach, large pavilion, gazebo, upper picnic field with two shelters, restrooms, fire rings, BBQ grills, children’s playground, fishing pier, boat dock, sand volleyball court, and horseshoe pits. Boats carried from parking lot to the beach are allowed to launch, all other boats can use the public boat launch found on the south end of the lake.
Unless an area is reserved all park areas (except the pavilion) are available on a first come, first served basis. Facility reservations are made at Pacific Edge Outfitters (360) 535-5919, deposit and reservation fees can be made with cash, debit or credit card.
