Spend the night
Stay the night
Day-trippers catch the boat home right when the light gets good. Stay over instead: watch the evening ferry cross a gold Puget Sound, walk Appletree Cove after dinner, and have the waterfront nearly to yourself at breakfast.
Places to stay
A short, hand-checked list — Kingston is a small town, and that's the point.
The Point Casino & Hotel
HotelThe Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe's hotel, about a 10-minute drive north of the ferry — a comfortable base for the north end of the peninsula, with dining on site (gaming floor 21+).
Clearwater Casino Resort
HotelThe Suquamish Tribe's resort on Agate Passage — resort rooms and dining, with the Agate Pass bridge to Bainbridge right next door.
Kingston-area vacation rentals
Vacation rentalsWhole homes and cabins across Kingston, Indianola, Port Gamble, and Suquamish. The Chamber keeps a hand-checked list linking each owner's own listing. Read the fine print — a few want 30-day minimums or rent only seasonally.
Kitsap Memorial State Park
CampingState-park camping on Hood Canal, about a 15-minute drive west — saltwater on one side, tall firs on the other. Summer weekends book out early; reserve through Washington State Parks.
Port of Kingston guest moorage
MarinaArriving by water? The marina in Appletree Cove sits right beside the ferry terminal, and guest slips put you a two-minute walk from coffee, dinner, and the waterfront park. Slips go fast on summer weekends — check current rates and availability with the Port before you cruise in.
Search the big sites

These links simply open a search on an outside site. They aren't endorsements, we don't vet the listings, and Explore Kingston earns nothing if you book.
