Preserving Cama Beach for Future Generations
Welcome to "Save Cama Beach Cabins"
Save Cama Beach Cabins (SCBC) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to reopening the cabins at Cama Beach State Park and keeping them open for future generations.
Cama Beach is a national historic treasure. It is the only remaining, intact, 1930’s era, saltwater, fishing resort on the West Coast ... or it was until the Park Commissioners’ ill-advised decision to permanently close all 33 cabins despite overwhelming public support to reopen the cabins.
Prior to closing the cabins, Cama Beach State Park was one of the most popular parks in the State. In a typical year, about 19,000 people used the cabins and during their stays renewed old friendships, formed new bonds, and made many priceless memories. All the campers and the other 270,000 annual visitors brought in several million dollars annually into the local economy.
We are asking the State Legislature to fund the infrastructure repairs (especially the septic system) so the cabins can reopen in Summer 2025. Additional funding is being requested for long-ranging planning to assure the cabins remain open for many years.
YOU CAN HELP!! Contact your local elected officials and urge them to support funding that requires State Parks management to reopen the cabins.
Contact the your State Legislators, the Governor, and the Island County Commissioners urging them to support this funding. Share with all of your friends.
Return Cama Beach State Park to the wonderful place it was when visitors could stay in the Cabins at the Beach!
