Rhododendron County Park

Rhododendron County Park

Rhododendron County Park is located on Whidbey Island in Island County, Washington and contains a small campground. The distinctive feature of the park is that is filled with wild rhododendrons which fill the park with blooms underneath the forest canopy in late spring and early summer. Seeing the rhododendrons in bloom can help one understand why the rhododendron is the State Flower of Washington.

Location

The park itself is difficult to find. The park entrance itself is roughly one mile south of the stoplight on SR 525 in Coupeville, Washington at the northern edge of the county landfill and is only marked by a small white on brown campground symbol.

Trivia

While denoted as a state park in online maps, the park itself is a county park.
