Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

Welcome to Kanaskat-Palmer State Park, nestled near Ravensdale, WA. This spot is a gem for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life without venturing too far from Seattle. The campground features two loops, one with electric hookups and one without, offering a mix of pull-through and back-in sites. If you’re not into traditional camping, there are also yurts available.

The campground is well-maintained and clean, with bathrooms centrally located between the loops. These facilities include six all-in-one units with a toilet, sink, and shower. Some visitors have noted that the showers appear to require tokens, but they’re actually free—just remember to conserve water as the hot water is turned off at night due to vandalism.

For those who love outdoor activities, there are several trails open until dusk, and the Green River offers some excellent fishing spots. Boating is also an option, but be cautious as some sections of the river are quite challenging. The park is heavily wooded, providing good privacy between sites and a serene atmosphere.

If you’re planning a trip, keep in mind that the campground is about an hour from Seattle and close to a Safeway for any last-minute supplies. The park is pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. Just be aware that the park rangers are quite vigilant, ensuring a safe and pleasant experience for everyone.

Whether you’re here for a quick overnight stay or a longer getaway, Kanaskat-Palmer State Park offers a peaceful retreat with plenty of opportunities for adventure and relaxation. Enjoy your stay!
