Wonderful reason NOT to visit Deception Pass State Park, see the last paragraph!!!

This is the ACTUAL description from the Washington State Parks web site!!

Please note: U.S. Navy jets from nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey Island may fly over the campground at any time for several hours.

Depending on the direction of the wind, their flight pattern may put them above the park, creating noisy conditions for campers. State Parks cannot be responsible for this significant intrusion into your camping experience.
