Jarrell Cove is reputed to be a busy and popular campsite for families. Situated on Harstine Island between Shelton and Bremerton on a corner of the south Puget Sound, it’s home to some quiet campsites, some short hiking trails, and beautiful water views.

A paved path with a rustic log railing descends toward a floating dock and ramp on a calm forested cove, where a small boat is moored and a couple of people stand on the dock. Evergreen trees frame the scene beneath a clear blue sky.
A view through moss-draped evergreen branches across a calm cove, with a white sailboat moored near a wooded far shore and a house tucked among the dense conifer forest under a deep blue sky.
A calm cove of blue water under a clear sky, with a few sailboats moored near the far shore, which is lined with evergreen forest and scattered waterfront houses. A rocky outcrop juts into the water at the right, and patches of golden autumn foliage dot the tree line.
A dirt hiking trail curves along a wooded hillside above a calm blue inlet, bordered by a rustic wooden split-rail fence made of rough log posts and rails. Sunlight filters through evergreen conifers and shrubs, casting long shadows across the path.
A narrow dirt footpath winds through a dense evergreen forest, lined with ferns, salal, and low green undergrowth, with tall conifer trunks rising toward a bright sky and patches of sunlight dappling the trail.
A sun-dappled coniferous forest with tall moss-flecked tree trunks, lush sword ferns, and a bed of fallen needles and leaves on the ground. A small open-sided wooden picnic shelter stands in the clearing beyond the trees.
A large fallen bigleaf maple leaf turning yellow, orange, and green with a bright pink-red stem, resting on a damp forest floor amid moss, grass, twigs, and scattered leaf litter.
A view through slender tree trunks and green foliage looking out over a calm blue cove, with a weathered dark stump poking up from the shallow shoreline water and sailboats moored along a dock to the left. Forested shorelines ring the distant water under a clear blue sky.
A calm blue cove under a clear sky, with a wooded shoreline of evergreen and golden autumn trees across the water. Sailboats and a few houses dot the far shore near a marina, and dark tree branches frame the upper left corner.
A green metal-grated ramp with concrete railings leads down from the viewer toward a marina, where sailboats, workboats, and small vessels are moored in calm blue water. Beyond the boats, a dense evergreen forest with a few orange autumn trees lines the shore under a clear blue sky.
