Best RV Parks & Resorts near Buckley, WA

1,202 Reviews

Several RV parks surround the Buckley area, catering to different preferences and vehicle sizes. Enumclaw Expo Center RV Park provides 50-amp electrical hookups with water connections and accommodates large recreational vehicles on paved, level sites. South Prairie Creek RV Park offers full hookup sites with 50-amp service, trash collection, and allows fires at designated spots. Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor maintains 102 sites with full hookups including sewer, water, and both 30/50-amp electrical connections throughout the year. Sites at most parks feature gravel pads with varying degrees of levelness and spacing between neighbors. "The pad was paved, level and long enough for Super C and toad," noted one visitor about Blue Sky RV Park.

Reservations become essential during summer months when parks frequently reach capacity. Most RV parks in the region remain open year-round, though winter visitors should check road conditions when approaching higher-elevation destinations. Pet policies generally allow dogs with standard leash requirements. Several facilities provide additional services like propane filling at Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor and sanitary dump stations at multiple locations including Tall Chief Campground. Cellular coverage remains consistent near populated areas but may diminish in more remote locations closer to Mount Rainier. Laundry facilities are available at select parks including Angle Lake RV Park and Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor, while showers and restrooms are standard amenities at nearly all established sites.

    Crystal Mountain RV Parking

    Great base-camp for winter and summer adventures at Crystal Mountain Resort

    Stayed here for the first time in July 2021.  I understand this opened last winter.  Talking to the host, I found out it is far more popular in winter when ski season is open. It was quiet and sparsely filled in July on a Friday and Saturday night.

    3 different areas respectively for large RV and 50 amps power, small RVs and 30 amp and tent only area. A fee picnic tables (no benches) available toward the tent only area.  Bathroom are just two sani-cans. Relatively clean.  There is trash and recycling behind the office which is adjacent to the host RV.

    Free WI-Fi (the host will give you code) and good LTE connection on AT&T.

    Silver Creek runs behind the lot and gives a  bit more of a natural feel. Otherwise you are in a giant parking lot (Lot B).  

    Can't beat the location for skiing and hiking or biking at Crystal Mountain!

    North Sound Recreational Vehicle Park

    Simple Urban RV Park

    This is very much an RV park and not really a campground. Seems like a clean little park, but right in the middle of Lynnwood, so if you are looking for a rural setting this isn't for you. 

    They offer weekly and monthly rentals, so this is more of a long-term sort of place. 

    Website: Northsound RV Park

    ​Requirements from their site: 

    • Your travel trailer must be year 2005 or newer 
    • Pet friendly(limit 2) not to exceed 25 lbs. Aggressive breed restrictions apply. 
    • No conversion vehicles - sorry van and bus life people 
    • No trailers larger than 35' long, ideally.

    Ike Kinswa State Park Campground

    Camping amongst the tall trees

    This campground is on Mayfield Lake where the Cowlitz River flows into the lake. We were in loop D, which was the only open loop along with the cabins (cabins are loop C and attached to loop D). This is a partial hook-up loop. Full hook-ups are in loop A. 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. As we were on the outer part of the loop in a pull-through site, we had a view of the woods and quite a bit of space between neighboring sites. We could not see either of the neighboring sites while sitting by our campfire. There was a trail to the trash compactor next to our site, but it did not seem to be heavily used. The trash compactor is probably a good 1/4 mile down this trail by the dump station. It was very quiet at night, which was fantastic! Very good Verizon cell service. The day use area is out of the campground and across the main road. There is a playground and beach area. It would have been nice if there was a playground on the campground side of the park.

    Blue Sky RV Park

    Awesome park

    We reserved a space for 1 night the day before. Great communication with Brett, everything went really smooth. The facilities are great and very clean, the park very quiet. There are a lot of big rigs parked there, some of the pm long-term as it seems. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely visit again.

    Cougar Rock Campground — Mount Rainier National Park

    Nice place

    Nice campground on the SW corner of Mt Rainier NP. We were here in the off season, meaning that reservations are not taken and everything is FCFS. You stop at the ranger office at the campground entrance and you’re given a campsite. $20/night. Zero cell service in this whole area (but there was good cell reception and wifi at Paradise, and free wifi at the museum 2 miles down at Longmire). 

    There are water spigots at this campground, flush toilets, no showers, trash dumpsters, and glass, plastic, and aluminum recycling. Each site has a picnic table, bear box, and fire pit. The dump station has been non operational for several years and the ranger said she doesn’t think it’ll ever be fixed. 

    The length limit here is 35 ft for a motorhome, and us at 28 ft head to toe felt very big here. The Wonderland Trail hike can be accessed from this campground, just across the road. Lots of trees in this campground, and we struggled to keep our batteries charged via solar, though there looked to be enough open sky for starlink (we don’t have starlink so I can’t say). All the loops here in this campground are pretty similar in layout and landscape.

    Cedar Glen RV Park

    great long-term or quick on the way

    There are several long term campers here. The grounds are kept immaculate and they regularly update the sites.  They hang wreaths for the winter holidays. Lawns mowed weekly. 

    All are level gravel. All have grass area, some with patio pad. There is a dog walk area and they are currently creating a dog fenced area at the end orf the two rows. 

    A caretaker is on site and will often help guide rigs into the sites (all are back-in). 

    Close to Poulsbo (a cute, Norwegian heritage town), Seattle ferry via Bainbridge Island and just over an hour to the Olympic National Park via the Hood Canal Bridge.

    Riverbend Campground

    Nice campground with friendly staff

    Interesting the other review was for a first time out with their travel trailer!  Same for us!

    We got site 106 which was the furthest one out, it was right along the river.  The site has a concrete slab and fit our Jayco 174BH perfectly.  

    This site does is a back in, but the slab is at a 90 degree angle from the drive.  So you will have to back your trailer around a corner if you plan to park it on the slab.  Didn't see other sites like this.  

    The campground did have a very small selection of items to buy, but mainly snacks.  They do fill propane tanks, but only during week days.

    The site had water and electrical, but no sewer connections.  they do have a nice dump station.

    The camp ground itself did have at least 2 pet areas neither are fenced so a leash is required, along with a playground for the kids.

    We have Verizon and had no issues with cell signal at this campground.

    Also, this is a private campground, so they have a guy that stands at the gate to open it when guests come arrive.

    Elkamp Eastcreek

    Best place in Washington state

    This is the cleanest, most cared for camping site I have ever been to. The owners Tom and Brian, make your stay very enjoyable. They care about you having a great experience, whether you’re a first time camper or a seasoned camper. They have a great store with snacks, wine, beer, and local sourced goods. They have games you can use while you are there, like corn hole and board and card games, free of charge. Sites are large for travel trailers and motor homes, they also have tent and group sites. Trailer and motor home sites have power and water, there is a dump station you can use on your way home free of charge. The bathrooms are large and very clean, the shower is 4 quarters for 6 minutes, those of us who try to take a 3 minute shower in our rigs so we don’t run through all the hot water so our partner can have a shower without waiting for the water to get hot again it’s a blessing. In the evening Tom or Brian drive through the park seeing if anyone needs ice or firewood, if there’s not a burn ban, bring a propane fire pit for your camping experience. They also sell propane so no fears on running out. The best thing is you are under a large canopy of trees which helps to keep you cool even on the hottest days. There is a small creek to put your chair in and put your feet in the water. Our first year there we brought 4 other people, this year it was 28. We make Elkcamp our yearly get together. Family friendly and a great place to unwind. You’re only a few miles from mineral lake, bring your trunks, inner tube, or your paddle boards. I’d give it a solid 10 out of 10.

    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!

Guide to Buckley

RV camping options near Buckley, Washington provide access to the Cascade Mountain foothills while remaining within 40 miles of Tacoma. The area sits at elevations ranging from 700-1,200 feet, creating moderate temperature variations between day and night even during summer months. Most campgrounds remain accessible year-round with occasional winter road closures at higher elevations.

What to do

Mountain biking trails: The region surrounding Buckley offers multiple trail systems for riders. "We had a great time at tall chief! The facilities were well kept and the pool was an amazing spot," reports a visitor to Tall Chief Campground.

Explore local coffee shops: Visitors appreciate specialty drinks within short drives. "It's super close (like 7 min drive) from one of my favorite coffee shops, Aroma Coffee Co. Try it! You won't be disappointed," notes a camper at Tall Chief Campground.

Lake access: Several campgrounds provide water recreation opportunities. "Beautiful lake," mentions a camper about Angle Lake RV Park, which offers convenient boat launch access for guests.

What campers like

Spacious sites: Many campers appreciate room to spread out. "Roomy Finally. Great camp site for all sizes... if you enjoy a little distance between sites without sacrificing camp size line up here," writes a reviewer at Tall Chief Campground.

Clean facilities: Regular maintenance receives consistent praise. "The bathrooms are usually found to be immaculate. The main bathrooms have a great 'spa' feeling to their design and make you feel like you are glamping," notes a Tall Chief visitor.

Convenience to Seattle: Several RV parks serve as good base camps for city exploration. "This is a perfect place for dropping your mobile hotel room and explore Seattle and the surrounding areas," explains a camper at Trailer Inns RV Park in Bellevue.

What you should know

Site selection strategy: Cell reception varies significantly even within the same campground. "I would say arrive early so you can drive by all the sites while checking to make sure you have good reception if you need it... 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," advises a camper at Tall Chief Campground.

Winter facilities: Most RV parks remain open year-round but with limited services. "We were able to grab a last minute reservation thanks to a FT resident leaving for service," mentions a visitor to Blue Sky RV Park, which operates throughout winter months.

Reservation timing: Summer bookings require advance planning. "Make reservations in advance! Great place, peaceful, lots of trees," notes a camper at Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor.

Tips for camping with families

Playground availability: Not all RV parks cater to children. "Pet friendly, but not many attractions for children (no playground, no pool)," notes a camper at Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor, making it important to research kid-friendly options.

Recreational facilities: Some parks offer multiple activities. "Mini golf basket ball court, lakes, bingo, free donuts and coffee showers are bug and clean price is fairly cheap," shares a visitor to Blue Sky RV Park.

Indoor options: Weather contingency plans matter in this region. "Indoor pool, small playground, dog run and well marked facility. Each space is large enough for camper and your vehicle and comes with a small storage shed," explains a camper at Trailer Inns RV Park.

Tips from RVers

Sewer connections: Several parks lack full hookups. "No sewer connections which can be a bummer, but the nice bathrooms make up for it imo," mentions a camper at Tall Chief Campground.

Alternative dumping solutions: Services exist for longer stays without sewer. "We used a pumping service halfway through our time there. The park provided the information for the service. It was $60 though," explains another Tall Chief visitor.

Site leveling: Parking surface quality varies between parks. "Nice pull throughs but small Resort. Nice spot, tight next to neighbors, laundry, guests must check in at desk," reports a visitor to Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor, while another RVer notes, "Pad was paved, level and long enough for Super C and toad," about Blue Sky RV Park.
