    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.

    Lake Leland Campground

    Reasonable spot. Rules not enforced.

    Arrived around 9pm. Mostly quiet. Camped near someone with a generator and thought they’d shut it off at 10pm (quiet hours 7am-10pm). Well, they didn’t shut it off till we asked and then turned it back on at midnight. Impossible to sleep. Got up to use the restroom and someone had been smoking cigarettes in the bathroom: shit + cig smoke = super lame. The number Jefferson County instructs you to call in case of issues is only operable from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Lower # campsites seem to have good morning sun.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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 Burton

Glamping options near Burton, Washington provide unique accommodation opportunities within the Puget Sound area. Located at elevations ranging from sea level to approximately 500 feet, these sites often feature coastal and forest views. Campgrounds in this region typically receive 35-50 inches of annual rainfall, with summer temperatures ranging from 60-80°F and winter temperatures between 30-45°F, making seasonal preparation essential.

What to do

River exploration: Dosewallips State Park offers excellent access to waterways for outdoor recreation. "We enjoyed being so close to the water for swimming and floating. It's also just a short drive into town to get supplies," notes Becky R. The park features hiking trails that connect directly to campsites along the river.

Beach activities: At Belfair State Park Campground, visitors can enjoy waterfront recreation along Hood Canal. "We enjoyed being so close to the water for swimming and floating," shares one camper. The park's beach area remains warm relative to other Puget Sound locations, making it suitable for extended water play.

Wildlife viewing: Bird watching opportunities abound at several parks within an hour of Burton. "As the tide comes and goes, so does the water fowl. Nice campground, open sites, full hook ups," mentions Kari R. about her experience at Belfair State Park. Elk sightings are common at Dosewallips during morning and evening hours.

Playground access: Several glamping locations feature family-friendly play areas. "Amazing kids area pirate ship. Great beach walk and good camp sites," reports Tanya B. about Fay Bainbridge Park. The playground structures provide entertainment options during non-beach weather.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the natural separation at certain locations. "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," notes Brittany D. about Dash Point State Park Campground. The mature forest creates natural sound barriers between campsites.

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower areas receive consistent praise. "The washroom and shower is kept clean, as is the rest of the campground," shares another Dash Point visitor. At Kanaskat-Palmer State Park, visitors note "Bathrooms are super nice - each is private with a shower. Camp staff were pleasant and helpful."

Waterfront access: Direct beach and water access remains a top feature. "The beach is a short walk from camp, just long enough to make you feel like you earned your sunset view, but not so long that you regret your life choices," describes Saraj B. about Dash Point State Park. Many sites offer beach areas suitable for families with various water entry points.

Proximity to urban amenities: The convenience of nearby services while maintaining a natural setting appeals to many. "Civilization is only about 15 minutes away. There's a grocery store, takeout options, and even coffee if you're feeling soft," notes another camper. This balance allows for flexibility when planning longer stays.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most glamping locations near Burton require advance booking, especially during summer months. "We thought we would use this as just an overnight stay while passing through the area but after checking it out, ended up passing," reports Lee D. about Saltwater State Park Campground, emphasizing the importance of researching before arrival.

Noise considerations: Some locations experience ambient noise from nearby transportation. "No joke- ALL day and night the planes felt like they were in our tent/heads. Every 3-30 seconds it was LOUD," warns Kirsten about Saltwater State Park, which sits under SeaTac flight paths. Research site-specific reviews before booking if quiet is a priority.

Seasonal closures: Not all facilities operate year-round. "Camping is closed for 2024 'while the park undergoes planning and development efforts,'" notes Ken about Saltwater State Park. Always verify current operational status before planning your trip.

Weather preparation: The Puget Sound region experiences significant seasonal variation. "It did rain one of the mornings and ended up with a puddle under our text but it was the last day so no loss," shares a camper about their experience at Belfair State Park. Many glamping accommodations provide protection from rain but still require weather-appropriate gear.

Tips for camping with families

Spacious sites selection: Choose locations with adequate room for multiple tents or activities. "We were at the end of the campground next to the camp host and a disabled access site, directly across from the showers," shares Travis P. about his preferred location at Saltwater State Park, noting site selection impacts experience quality.

Water access evaluation: Consider water safety when bringing children. "The tent spots are clustered together in 2 areas with a shared covered pavilion... Close to the beach," notes Sable about Tolt MacDonald Park, WA. Some waterfront locations have gradual entry points while others feature steeper drops requiring supervision.

Facility proximity: Bathroom location matters with younger campers. "Great cell coverage for my T-Mobile plan," adds Travis P., highlighting another consideration for families needing to stay connected. Sites closer to restrooms reduce nighttime walking distances for children.

Activity options: Parks with multiple recreation choices help maintain interest. "We loved the Vasa Park Resort. We stayed here while visiting my brother in Seattle and had so much fun. We roasted hotdogs and s'mores over the camp fire and our dog loved swimming in the lake," shares Amy H. about her family experience near Burton.

Tips from RVers

Hookup limitations: Not all sites offer full service connections. "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," notes Jay F. about Kanaskat-Palmer State Park. Many locations offer electric and water but lack sewer connections.

Site leveling: Prepare for varied site terrain. "The only campground we've been to where we didn't need to level the trailer. RV sites are all pull through its fairly quiet," reports Russ H. about Tolt MacDonald Park, an unusual feature worth noting for RV campers.

Dump station access: Research waste disposal options before arrival. "No sewer connections which can be a bummer, but the nice bathrooms make up for it," mentions Brodie D. about Tall Chief Campground. Many parks offer on-site dump stations with varying fees.

Winter accessibility: Some RV sites remain open year-round. "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!" shares Shay F. about Kanaskat-Palmer State Park, noting its extended seasonal availability.
