    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Nice State Park with Plenty to Do. Lake, Hiking, Store.

    This is a very nice, typical Washington state park with plenty of trees, greenery, hiking, pathways and even a lake. There's a camp store along with several large outdoor kitchens that would be good to use for groups. Many of the structures like the kitchens and even bathrooms were built back in the 1930s by the CCC, which is pretty cool. It's just far enough off I-5 to not have the freeway noise, but close enough to be convenient. It's also nearby to Great Wolf Lodge if you're looking for a place to stay near there.

    On the other hand, the RV sites especially are basically in a big field with a cement road going around it. The sites have tables and fire pits, but no privacy what-so-ever. The tent sites are slightly better, with more trees, but still very close to one another.

    The campground also has glamping available (canvas permanent tents) that looked cool.

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Nice place

    Beautiful spot, though tightly packed and crowded/noisy. We stayed in spot 59 on a Saturday night. It was rainy and the fire pit area had plenty of puddles. Lots of folks came in later in the evening with multiple cars and sat out talking; plenty of them packed up and left before 8 am. We walked the fen trail, which was spooky and different from our home of Colorado! Reservations needed. There are also glamping cabins. Nice clean bathrooms with flush toilets, water available at multiple locations, showers available with tokens.

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    A close get away

    I have camped here a number of times over the years. This is a nice woodsy campground just south of Olympia, WA located on Deep lake. It has a very old growth forest feel to it. This campground offers many activities: hiking trails, fitness trails,fishing, boat rental, and even a concession stand. The fishing is good for trout,bass, and sun fish. This park offers both hookup and non utility tent sites as well as glamping tents.

    Cons: most of the hookup sites are in a field with zero privacy but there are a few that are much better like the last spot I stayed at.

    The primitive sites are better but the roads are quite narrow with limited access for RV's.

    The "Glamping tents"are very nice but crazy expensive at over $300 a night. Like most of the State Parks reservations book up quickly so it pays to plan ahead

    Pros: fishing is pretty good even from shore. The day use area is great but pretty rustic. Lots of trails to hike but not as well marked as I would expect. Really close to Seattle so it is ideal for a weekend getaway Friday after work.

    Silver Ridge Ranch

    DO NOT GO

    The bathrooms were filthy Quiet hours were not enforced The place is falling apart and looks decrepit: from fences to bathrooms The only dirt roads and sites(no gravel or asphalt anywhere) make everything filthy Site boundaries are practically impossible to determine as a number is the only way to see, no side lines Our site did not even have a picnic table

    Dosewallips State Park Campground

    Fun, busy campground

    There is a river and salmon climb it to spawn in October I believe. Very cool to see. Campground is large, with about 20% of camp sites have good privacy. Walking distance to a gas station for supplies. Clean bathrooms with running water.

    Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

    Great group camp site!

    The group site set apart from the rest of the camping, so you can really enjoy the space without feeling like you are bothering the other campers. There's lots of space for tents plus some wooden bunks in a wooden shelter, a nice option for people new to camping who don't have a tent, but I'd be afraid of spiders! :O Site is adjacent to a river access, which I did not get a chance to check out myself, but being near water is always a plus to me.

    The campgrounds are about an our of of Seattle, so it's a really nice low-commitment option for those residing in the greater Seattle area. Despite being so close, it doesnt feel very populated or anything like that, nice and woodsy still! :)

    The only drawback to the group site is occasionally you'll get a random person wandering through to access the water.

    I wouldn't suggest going so late in the year unless you are prepared for rain, it poured on us most of the stay, but we still managed to have fun. Luckily there is a large covered dining area so it's survivable in rain

    Lake Easton State Park Campground

    Great Family fun.

    Came last minute during father's day weekend looking for a tent site. The booth host was very helpful letting us know that there was only two spots left and answering many more questions. We were able to find a perfect site for my family of 4. Clean raised tent bed with pea-gravel raked evenly good for 6-7 person tent . Fire pit is decently sized approximately 3x2 with a flip top grill that covers half of it. Paved road gravel parking space big enough for a trailer/camper . Dumpster and water spicket as well as a bathroom with pay to use shower's . ¢50-1 token = 3 minute shower. Small playground with a basketball court by the bathrooms. Lovely river walk trail follows the Yakima River . Activities for children such as the Jr. Ranger program. Gas station is close just cross the highway sells firewood as well . Overall great first time at the campground friendly staff will be coming back.

    Great spot

    This campground has super friendly staff, decent bathrooms and showers, laundry facility, access to a lake, fishing is welcome, swimming allowed, great playground for kids, allows pets, has a small store in the office with some essentials if you forget something.

    Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

    Our favorite camping close to home

    We love coming here. It's close proximity to our house allows us to hook up the trailer after work and include a Friday night in our camping weekend! The availability seems pretty good too, especially in Spring when some campgrounds are not quite open yet.

    This campground has great clean and heated bathrooms. Sites and roads are paved. Hook ups are electric only, bring your water. The first time we went we did not know and our Basecamp's heat runs via the hot water heater. It was cold! The sites are large and pretty private. We have stayed in site 42 which is a back in spot with fire pit and table above the back of the pad. Also, we have enjoyed site 38, a pull through that gave us nice wooded views and privacy.

    The campground loop is a nice walk or cruise on a bike. There is easy access to a beautiful stretch of the Green River, with picnicking areas and walking trails. You might catch a kayaker in the river, I hear this stretch take a lot of skill!


Guide to Bonney Lake

Dispersed camping options near Bonney Lake, Washington range from lakeside retreats to forested campsites within an hour's drive of Mount Rainier National Park. The region sits at elevations between 500-1,000 feet with a mild Pacific Northwest climate that supports year-round camping in most areas. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-85°F while winter months can drop to 30-45°F with significant rainfall.

What to do

River activities: Kanaskat-Palmer State Park offers easy access to the Green River with spots perfect for wading or fishing. A visitor noted, "Short hike to river spots that are perfect for wading or fishing. 10 minute drive from Deep Lake which is beautiful and great for swimming and paddle boarding."

Swimming opportunities: Camp Lakeview maintains a designated swimming area with docks that provide safe water access. According to reviews, "A small beach with a large dock was available for use during the day as well as a boat launch and fishing dock. The weekends get very busy but during the weeks it is a cozy little community."

Hiking trails: Multiple campgrounds connect to walking paths with varying difficulty levels. The forest trails at Dash Point State Park Campground are particularly accessible. One visitor mentioned, "There are also some nice forest trails for an easy hike or post-takeout digestion walk."

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many campgrounds offer vegetation screens between camping spots. Elkamp Eastcreek receives high marks for site layout with one camper stating, "The campsites are far enough apart that they feel relatively private, and most appear completely level. Trees abound."

Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness stands out as a consistent positive in reviews. A camper at Dash Point noted, "The campground and bathrooms were very tidy," while another at Elkamp Eastcreek remarked, "Elkamp was very clean with the nicest campground bathrooms we have ever experienced."

Natural settings close to urban areas: Despite proximity to cities, many campgrounds maintain a wilderness feel. A visitor to Dash Point State Park wrote, "This campground is remarkable in the privacy between each of the camping spots, the bird life, the wild and deep forest vibes, and the walking trails."

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance bookings, especially during summer months. Walk-up availability varies seasonally.

Utility hookups: Electric service can vary from 30-50 amp depending on location. At Tall Chief Campground, "Most sites are only 30 amp with antiquated posts. There are a few 50 amp sites but from what I saw they were all taken by RVers that are there on a more permanent basis."

Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby highways or flight paths. One camper at Saltwater State Park reported, "ALL day and night the planes felt like they were in our tent/heads. Every 3-30 seconds it was LOUD."

Rules enforcement: Rangers actively patrol many area campgrounds. At Kanaskat-Palmer, "This campground is heavily patrolled by the park rangers. I usually have contact with them in my campsite at least twice a day. I have been asked by the park rangers at 10:01 p.m. to be quite."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly swimming: Look for protected swimming areas with gradual entry points. Alder Lake Park offers "a sandy beach area that is also for public access" and "a play ground and beach area" according to reviewers.

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play equipment. At Camp Lakeview Resort, "There is a playground next to a volleyball court and basketball court" making it ideal for families with children needing activities.

Safety considerations: Check if campgrounds are gated or have regular security patrols. One camper noted Saltwater State Park is "Fairly safe since it's gated and a park ranger was there overnight."

Tips from RVers

Dump station availability: Not all campgrounds offer sewer hookups at individual sites. A Tall Chief camper advised, "No sites have sewer hookups. We don't have room for [a honey wagon] so we used a pumping service halfway through our time there. The park provided the information for the service. It was $60."

Power limitations: Be prepared for potential electrical constraints. "Normally 30 amp posts are sufficient but we ended up here during a heat wave and an entire section of the park blew after having several days of power issues," reported an RV camper at Tall Chief.

Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain. A visitor to Kanaskat-Palmer noted, "The gravel pull through was so not level the jacks pushed the front tires 6 inches off the ground."

Cell reception variability: Tree cover affects connectivity. At Tall Chief, "Another thing that can be annoying is trying to find a site with good cell reception due to all the trees. I'm getting 120+ mbs download on AT&T in my site right now, but several sites down from me, it can dwindle down to 5mbs!"
