We picked up a last-minute reservation here for Labor Day weekend. The campground sits right on a lake northwest of Mt. Adams.

Our site was set up with a single tent pad up a little hill from the driveway and fire pit. It might not have worked for multiple tents.

We did some hiking on the trails…

This campground is on Silverlake. It’s a lovely view of Mt. St Helens. There are so many buildings at the lake edge of the campground you can’t really see the lake. It’s noisy because the highway is literally right by you. There are no laundry facilities. Internet comes and goes just enough to be…

The visitor center being closed was disappointing. The fact that half the campground was closed thus forcing campers to be crowded and pay for spots with full service was awful. $35 a night spots were the only ones open.

Also I couldn't get any cell service.

If you want to just relax and enjoy nature than this is it. There is no cable, internet or cell service. But it’s absolutely a little piece of heaven. New owners are trying to update the sites. There is no bad view in this campground! Owners are very friendly and want to please. The lake is just…

We really loved the forest setting of this park. There are great hammock trees at nearly every site. Overall, it's beautiful.  The bathrooms were just ok.  There's only 1 shower per bathroom, and you have to pay to make it work. One night, the meter in the men's shower was broken, so I had to take…

This was a great place to stop for the night. The tent sights were small but they had water and electric at each site. Off season prices were pretty good as well. There are a few short hikes near the campground as well which we enjoyed.

• electric and water
• dump station included in fee which was $40/night

*if not camping here, it is $5 to dump

• heavily treed

*about 40 miles from campsite to main visitor center for Mt St Helens *If you want to see Spirit Lake etc, you will want to camp closer to the mountain. From Sequest State…

Great Owner's! Clean, spacious and peaceful. 😊

Quiet and beautiful, the dump site is out of commission but was told I could empty tanks at one of the full hookup sites, roads coming in are narrow. Staff is very friendly and beautiful lake access wit swimming and fishing docks

This was our first time at Penrose Point State Park. We are so fortunate to have so many State parks along the beaches of the Sound. Penrose Point is located across Carr Inlet from Gig Harbor and Fox Island. There are trails and beaches to explore. Lovely large campsites. No hookups available but…

Comfortable peaceful if it had wifi it would be perfect. The dog park is a wonderful addition.

It could be a nice place but whoever runs it isn’t very clean. Bathrooms weren’t the best.

A bit of a tight squeeze to drive the trailer but the location was nice. Our spot was very uneven but livable. Showers are 25¢ a minute so be prepared. 15 minute walk to a great view of Puget Sound. We would visit again.

This is a beautiful spot! I was recently needing a place to camp outside of Olympia on a roadtrip. It’s about 10 minutes from I-5 so perfect for a one night stop, not sure if I’d want to stay there for more than that. The campsite had very little privacy and unfortunately everyone was woken up by a…

Spent three nights at Seaquest with the grandkids. Great playground with a cool dirt pile to play on. Nice easy walk through the tunnel to the wetlands. Convenient place for day drives to Ape Cave and Johnston Ridge. Clean restrooms. Well spaced sites.
