Love this! Each time we stay at a State Park we like to record our visit in the Bucket Journal! How else would we remember the campsites we want to try next, what we want to bring next time, and any fun memories we made along the way? We also flag parks we want to visit in the future!

The bucket journal is well thought and gives the user many options of what to explore!

I haven’t had the chance to go yet. Just looking up some spots. It was always where do you want to go. Now we have that in our hands. Great aid.

I haven’t used the journal yet, but am looking forward to tracking my adventures as I go through the pages and explore Washington State

Great welcoming gift for new to Washington State folks.

It was a gift for someone else.

I bought the Bucket Journal for WA State Parks. I like how it is done. I can't wait to go hiking with my dog. One suggestion maybe a map of WA state that shows where the parks are located. I can easily look on the map and see how close the park is to my home. Will it be a one day trip or a weekend trip. Also, can I do 2 parks next to each other in one day. A map would of been wonderful. Thank you for putting this together. Maybe will get a WA Federal Park book journal next. Keep up the good work. Best to you all.

I bought these 2 journals for my 2 grandsons, ages 26 & 23. They and their girlfriends still go overnight camping and for day hikes. I know these fun journals will be great to look back on with their children, should they ever have any!! We all were born in and have lived in Washington all of our lives. I am 76. Even I look forward to looking through the pages as they get filled out. Having the phone numbers & amenities already listed will be really helpful in making choices. Thank you, what a great idea!!! My grandsons are still using the tent my husband and I and their mom, used when she was growing up.

We bought this as a gift for a friend who is retiring. He likes to travel and his wife likes parks. This is a great gift idea as soon as we saw it.
Becky S.
I really like the format of the journal. My family & I look forward to visiting many of our state parks in the near future3 Thank you

Looked through the state parks book and found one near by my home. It was super beautiful! I had a blast visiting a new area! Definitely cannot wait to visit the next one!
Tabitha T.
It's inspiring me to venture outside of my known spots.

This was a surprise gift for my son, daughter-in-law and my two grandchildren. They were excited to receive the journal and plan to enter all their adventures and memories.
RA R.
Really cool with a very clean user interface.

We haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but we were super impressed with our State Park Bucket Journal! It’s filled with great info!
Dee L.
I gave it to my daughter to use with her kids for camping. We will use it starting this summer for family camping trips & it will be filled with great memories after we’re gone. My daughter loved it !

I was so excited to receive the journals but for retired folks like us, it's not quite as fitting as it would be for young families.
On the "Make it Personal" page from each State Park are questions such as... "The Kids Liked This", and "Best story told", "Games Played" etc which are definitely geared for families.
If there were two options for the journal when ordering, family version and retirement age, that would be wonderful!
I have decided on each "Make it personal" page, I will cover each of these pages with paper and have a spot for a picture of each state park as well as an area for my own notes. If the journal would have been designed like that I would have been thrilled!
Bottom line.... lovely concept for families, not so fitting for older adults w/o children.
Donald K.
Very disappointed with the fact that some parks were left out and others are listed in the wrong geographical areas. Needed better editing.

Sorry but I don't have a phone for selfies, but I really like the book and can not wait to start using it. Margaret Burkhart

This is a handy book that lists each park in Washington State on a one page spread. It doesn’t provide many details on each park but is a good starting place for planning adventures.
elizabeth p.
We love the book. Only criticism is it's a little hard to figure out where all these places are since you don't include a map. A map would be great! Otherwise, we've been having fun with it. We liek to plan to hit two parks in a day if they're close- so again, we need that map!
Zandra M.
Its a gift that hasn't been given yet, but I'm confident it will be received with great appreciation!
Jocelyn R.
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and we’ve already cross three nearby parks off the list! The journal is well designed and has good information. We’re already planning trips for the summer!
Lynnette D.
I bought one as a gift. Not what I expected.
Linda A.
It's a nice journal and we will use it well. Unfortunately, many of the regional areas and parks are listed incorrectly. It would be best to list parks in alphabetical order.
JUNE B.
I don't have one so far this year.
I'm really looking forward to writing and using my bucket list book. Very well put together ❤

I really liked the idea of the Washington State Parks journal, but the product was less than impressive. The organization of the parks into regions is truly mystifying. For example, the "Northeast" section includes counties from the far west side of the state - Whatcom county is as far northWEST as one can go, as well as Spokane, as distant from Whatcom county on the east side of the state as can be. In other sections, some parks are in one region, while other parks close by are in a different region, and this in not because they lie on the borderline of two regions. Also, the Table of Contents states that there is a state map on page 7, but it is instead a page for notes. A map showing the approximate locations of the parks would have been very helpful. The closer I looked at the journal, the more disappointed I became, especially because of the price.

Nicely bound, page pockets are convenient.

I bought this for my husband for Valentine's Day, and he is thrilled. We've visited a number of WA State Parks, and now we have marked and made plans to visit many more. He loves the space to write notes about our visits. The guide looks great and it is a great tool when we are traveling the state.

I was mildly disappointed with the Journal. I had expected more on the various parks here in Washington State. What I got was just a URL for each park and a lot of checkboxes and blank space to record my thoughts and information I obtained about that park from the Washington State Parks website.
I should have saved my money and bought a small notebook to record the info from the website paid for by my taxes.
I feel it is an overpriced product aimed at a different style of a camper than I am.
I would not purchase another similar product.
Jennifer G.
I’m excited to get started visiting and documenting all of the parks in my keepsake travel book.
Robert S.
The journal was a gift for my wife who is an avid hiker.
It was appreciated and we went over it together.
The only problem is that there are no maps to give perspective.
There is a reference to a map in the journal but there is none
It would be a much more useable if some type of maps were included
Lois S.
I love my Washington State Park Bucket List Book. It is beautiful and will be useful. It has plenty of spaces to record each trip to a Washington State Park. I find it extremely useful because I am vacationing close this next couple of years and I have found plenty of Washington State Parks to explore.
Carol R.
We have used the book and look forward to using it more as the weather warms up. It is fun to have a goal in mind for side trips.
Feedback, it would be nice to have a map included, maybe a state map in front or back and a local map inset with each park. Otherwise, it was a good investment.
Julie L.
My husband retires at the end of this year and I'm looking forward to us visiting and journaling to fill out this awesome bucket list - thank you!
Michael B.
It was a surprise gift for my brother in law. He and his wife absolutely love the book.
Carole S.
Daughter and Granddaughter are making plans. They might let the boys come!
Mary C.
It's a little larger than what I was expecting but it will work just fine. I'm excited to be able to travel again once the lockdown in Oregon is lifted. It's extremely depressing not being able to take our road trips.
