Best Cabin Camping near Ashford, WA

380 Reviews

Several campgrounds and resorts near Ashford, Washington provide rustic cabins with varying amenities and comfort levels. Mounthaven Resort offers pet-friendly cabin rentals with electricity, heating, and basic furnishings, while The Village at Rainier features cabins with more complete amenities including drinking water and electric hookups. Elkamp Eastcreek, located in nearby Mineral, provides cabin accommodations with clean facilities and easy access to Mount Rainier National Park. According to one visitor, "The hosts were super nice and the campground was well maintained with full hookups available." Most cabins include picnic tables and fire rings outside, with indoor amenities ranging from simple sleeping platforms to fully furnished spaces with kitchenettes.

Cabin sizes range from small one-room structures suitable for couples to larger family-sized units with multiple sleeping areas. Pet policies vary by location, with some properties like Mounthaven Resort and Camp Lakeview explicitly welcoming pets, while others maintain restrictions. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during summer months when cabins book quickly due to proximity to Mount Rainier National Park. Eagle Cliff Campground offers "very small cabins that can be rented" alongside a well-stocked camp store and pizza place, making it popular with hikers and families. Ike Kinswa State Park Campground provides several cabins on Mayfield Lake with heavily wooded sites offering good separation and privacy between accommodations.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, from basic fire rings with grill grates to cabins with small refrigerators and microwaves. Packwood RV Park & Campground and Cascade Peaks Family Campground both offer cabin options with access to shared bathhouse facilities. On-site camp stores at several locations stock firewood, basic groceries, and forgotten essentials. The small town of Ashford has limited shopping options, so visitors staying in more remote forest cabins should arrive prepared with food and supplies. Laundry facilities are available at select locations including Camp Lakeview, which one reviewer noted "has super friendly staff, decent bathrooms and showers, laundry facility, and a small store in the office with essentials."

    Eagle Cliff Campground

    Last stop on summer trip

    We picked this campsite as our last stop on a week long camping trip round Rainer and St. Helens area. Nice flat camping area, picnic bench fire pit, a bit of a mosquito challenge but not too bad. Lots of families, and maybe even groups. Has showers, which is what we mainly booked for. Small general store, basketball hoop, pizza shop, and some cabin rentals. Luckily the dance party ended just after dark, so we got plenty of sleep. Stayed only 1 night. Plus is ranger station 5 minutes from site, with maps, stickers, fridge magnets, etc. Ranger gave us detail on ape caves, and other are hikes for kids, AND ranger was cool enough to tell us all about his Bigfoot experience in the area, complete with mobile phone picture of footprint! Lots of kids and teens, but some fisherman too, who didn’t seem to mind the dance music and footballs flying around!

    Eagle Cliff Campground

    Mt St Helens Campground Oasis

    Lucked out with a last minute Father's Day weekend reservation at this great little campground located just at the junction of Mt St Helens and Gifford Pinchot. The campground is bookable online for only $15 a night which felt like a bargain for a private campground in the area. 

    There are only 10 camping sites - some are suitable for RVs. There are also very small cabins that can be rented. There is a well stocked camp store on the property which is staffed from 7am to 7pm. There is also a pizza place on the property which is visited by a lot of area day hikers, so if you want an all day quiet woodsy feel you might want a different location, but if you've been camping or hiking for days on end without any amenities, this place will feel like an oasis.

    The campground was busy over the weekend, but was nearly empty and quiet by the time Sunday night rolled around. We were at campsite #9 which was right next to a basketball hoop which got plenty of use while people were waiting for pizza (and was a bit noisy). The Pizza Place is not open everyday.

    Each site had a firepit with grill and a picnic table. The toilet in the camping area had cold running water and a flush toilet. The toilets closer to the camp store had hot water and an outlet. Showers are available for an additional $3 charge, and laundry facilities are available for $5 a load on certain days.

    The Camp Store had lots of knowledge about local hikes and what roads were open around MSH.  We used this campground as a base to hike Ape Caves, June Lake and Ape Canyon. It was about 30 minutes of forest road driving to the trail heads.

    Lewis North Travel Camp - Joint Base Lewis McChord

    Great Military only campground for a New Year's eve trip

    Great campground that serves military exclusively. We made a next day reservation due to the weather and just wanted a night away. Unfortunately the restrooms right next to our site were closed so it was a slight walk to the nearest restroom. Restrooms were heated and well taken care of. Only some of the sites have fire rings (so make sure to ask when making your reservation). The Northwest Adventure Center had propane, a dump station, firewood and tons of others things you can buy to make the outdoors more fun. Super quiet area. Only 2 dogs allowed per reservation. No camp-wide wifi but we didn't care about that. Great AT&T cell service. You can hear the nearby trains passing by but we were used to that already so it didn't bother us. Camp Host was amazing and able to answer our questions. Definitely will visit again.

    Ike Kinswa State Park Campground

    Nice state park on a lake

    General: Medium-sized park (100 sites plus several cabins) located on Mayfield Lake with three loops: two with hookups and one without. We stayed in the loop without hookups.

    Site Quality/Facilities: The sites are very generous in size with LONG paved driveway pads. The sites on the outer side of the loops are pull-throughs and the ones on the interior are back-in. Large wooden picnic table and a fire ring complete the site (although as with the entire state, there was a burn ban in effect). The sites are all heavily wooded, providing good separation between the sites. 

    Bathhouse: Small – two stalls plus two showers – and dated. No hooks or other options to store toiletries and no garbage receptacle. 50 cents for every three minutes of shower time. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on the quality but I have definitely seen better showers. 

    Activities: Water sports. There were plenty of motorboats out on the lake (not my thing but if it is yours, this looked like a good lake for watercraft). The loops are paved and I saw many riding their bikes. There is a trail that skirts the lake– a little over a mile point to point but with many paths leading from the campground loops. Rocky with lots of tree roots but very scenic. 

    Very pleasant stay here and would return.

    Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

    Nice & quick camping option from Seattle

    We stayed 1 night here for the maiden voyage of our recently purchased travel trailer, which was nice since it's only about an hour away from our place near Seattle. Arrived Friday early evening and it wasn't busy at all.

    The check-in process was easy, even though their reservation system was down at the time. Filled up w/ some fresh water at the dump station, which was clean and well maintained.

    Campsites in the RV loop were spaced out enough with vegetation between them so as to provide some privacy. Our site had a pull-through driveway, 30amp hookup, a fire ring and picnic table. Bathrooms in that loop were pretty nice... heated and very clean.

    Took a walk down to the day use area by the river, which was easy for us, but some portions of the trails closer to the river were slightly overgrown w/ a few obstacles, which could be problematic for some. Didn't see any kids play structures down there, which would be nice to have for families.

    We heard a couple trains while there, but the noise wasn't too loud. Never heard the fire siren that they warned us about. Overall, it was a good camping experience for a quick trip and would return!

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Go here!!!

    They have glamping! Or as the campground calls it: pampered camping. This is a beautiful park located on Deep Lake just outside of Olympia.  The park itself is huge offering lots of options for campers.  Super easy to get our trailer in and out of the spaces and there was lots of extra parking for our larger group.  A quick walk around the grounds offered a nice hike and showed us some pretty awesome sites Id like to stay at in the future.  They are on a progressive price, meaning depending on the site is what your price will be.

    The canvas tent option was one I didn’t know about until I got there.  The tents are cabin shaped and have a few chairs and BBQ grill outside it.  Great option for families.

    The park also offers a cottage right next to the lake.  This is a nice alternative to traditional camping.  One thing that was great about the park was the various kitchens around the grounds.  This offers a great way for larger groups to have a set space for meals.

    Elkamp Eastcreek

    Clean, beautiful

    Well maintained campground, full hookups and tent sites available. Sites fairly large & private with tons of old trees and right next to a creek. Bathrooms clean. Fire pits and firewood available from hosts. Easy access to Rainier NP. Hosts super nice. Only thing that would make this place better is more substantial picnic tables which were new but kind of rickety. Would camp here again.

    Bumping Lake Campground

    My favorite lake camping

    My family and I have stayed at Bumping Lake for years. It’s off grid and the spots are large and private. The lake is great. There is a lot of hiking and biking trails.

    Whistlin' Jack's Outpost & Lodge

    Clean, friendly and expensive!

    We stayed here during a couple of days of high heat and needed to plug in and replenish water. We have a 16ft Airstream and stayed in RV site 2. The site was too small for our trailer and the picnic table was wedged between a fire pit and two huge rocks so unusable. There was a total fire ban and the fire pit was not in use but was full of cigarette butts. For $70 per night I would expect a cleaner and better site. We had full hook ups which was nice but no privacy and no shade. It feels like the RV sites are an afterthought here. I wouldn’t recommend. The WiFi was “free” but unreliable and every single time I logged in I had to go through a Free Trial log in. It was really annoying. Access to the Naches River was easy and the fly fishing was glorious and the swimming was great!!

Guide to Ashford

Cabin camping near Ashford, Washington centers around the southern approach to Mount Rainier National Park. Located at approximately 1,800 feet elevation with moderately dense forest cover, this area experiences heavy snowfall from November through April, with summer temperatures averaging 65-75°F during peak season. Most camping cabins require advance reservations 6-9 months ahead for summer weekends due to high demand from park visitors.

What to Do

Meadow exploration: At Elkamp Eastcreek, guests can discover natural areas beyond their cabins. "The meadow over the bridge is a hidden delight," notes reviewer Amanda M., while another visitor, Susan S., mentions the "acres to gorgeous meadow and evening star viewing."

Mountain summit preparation: Cabin stays at higher elevations provide acclimation for summit attempts. As one Camp Muir reviewer explains, "Camp Muir is the typical base camp for those of you trying to summit Mount Rainier. It is a great place to get above the cloud line and dip your toes into mountaineering life."

Lake activities: Water recreation options expand beyond just hiking. At Camp Lakeview, "People were fishing, paddle boarding and swimming," reports Kira M. The campground offers "access to a lake, fishing is welcome, swimming allowed, great playground for kids."

What Campers Like

Private, wooded settings: Cabin sites at Ike Kinswa State Park Campground offer notable separation. "The campground is heavily wooded which is really nice for shade," writes Christina F., while another camper notes that "most of the sites are pretty private. Many with power and water."

Clean facilities: Bathroom quality varies significantly between properties. One Elkamp Eastcreek visitor reported they were "very clean with the nicest campground bathrooms we have ever experienced," while another called it "the cleanest campground we have ever experienced."

Stream sounds: Cabin locations near water features are highly rated. At Mounthaven Resort, one reviewer appreciated their "tent site was the most out of the way, quiet, and secluded that we have camped in all summer. It has a water pump onsite, which is quite handy."

What You Should Know

Limited provisions: Cabin campers need to arrive prepared. "The Village at Rainier is perfect if you want to explore the nearby mountains," notes reviewer Jake C., but most areas have minimal shopping. One Mounthaven visitor advises: "There is a super extra pricey Grocery-Mart closer to Rainier, and two fairly pricey, better stocked options 5 miles in the other direction... Visitors would be wise to come to the area with groceries in their trunk regardless."

Early reservations essential: Summer cabin bookings fill extremely quickly. According to a state park reviewer, "The biggest downfall is that this place books up so fast. Make reservations early."

Varying property conditions: Maintenance standards differ between cabin providers. At Cascade Peaks Family Campground, one visitor found "Plenty of spots open with a good store lots of bathrooms and showers places for kids to play and welcoming hosts," while others noted infrastructure issues.

Tips for Camping with Families

Playground access: Families should prioritize cabins with dedicated play areas. According to a Camp Lakeview visitor, the facility has a "great playground for kids, allows pets, has a small store in the office with some essentials if you forget something."

Swimming areas: Dedicated water access points provide safer recreation for children. At Packwood RV Park & Campground, one visitor noted it was "near a stream which was very peaceful at night," while Ike Kinswa offers "a large swimming area, hiking trails, playgrounds, boating, fishing just to name a few."

Noise consideration: Family-friendly cabins vary in sound insulation. A reviewer at Elkamp Eastcreek noted that "The majority of the campsites were amid tall trees. Site G was more in the open with less shade; however it was situated next to a gentle creek."

Tips from RVers

Site configurations: Travelers with larger rigs should research cabin areas carefully. At Ike Kinswa State Park, "The campground is heavily wooded which is really nice for shade, though it can make it tricky to get into a spot if you have slide outs."

Laundry availability: Extended stays benefit from on-site facilities. "Camp Lakeview has super friendly staff, decent bathrooms and showers, laundry facility," reports one reviewer, though availability varies significantly between properties.

Utility reliability: Water pressure and electrical reliability vary by location. Some cabin areas have infrastructure limitations, with one Cascade Peaks visitor noting "Dusty roads, no internet, low water pressure" during their stay.
