    Lake Easton State Park Campground

    Perfect for a one night stay

    This was a lovely campsite. It was smaller, yet felt large enough so you had your own privacy and space. There were clean facilities available, as well as drinking water and trash bins. Our lot was spacious with a nice picnic table, fire pit, and area for our two person tent. Everyone around us was respectful of one another and wasn't too loud late at night. There are trails behind the campsite that lead down to the river, or just a short drive away is the 'beach' and bridge overlooking the lake. It is peaceful and although the highway is close by, seeing the beauty of the area makes you think and feel you are deeper in nature. I would definitely stay here again for a longer period of time!

    Flowing Lake Park & Campground

    The cabins are a lot of fun!

    We typically visit the cabins here in the winter, so we don’t usually partake in the summer activities of swimming, boating, etc., but we do love coming here in the winter. The cabins are heated and have bunk beds, which makes for a cozy retreat into nature in the winter. The only reason that this spot did not get full stars is because the park has had transients hiking through the trails (which made for a scary 2 a.m. bathroom break).

    Belfair State Park Campground

    On the shores of Hood Canal

    This campground is located on the northern side of Hood Canal and offers some great views of the water. About half the sites are in the woods, although they are all pretty close together. Some of the larger sites, including the RV sites, are right next to the beach, and you can set up chairs and have a beautiful view. These sites have little, if any, vegetation to provide privacy. A mid-week visit in early May found lots of sites open. The grounds and bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. There is a lot of open lawn, especially in the day use area, which would be great in the busy summer months. You need a Discover Pass for day use. These are required at pretty much all county and state campgrounds in Washington State. Right now they cost $30 per year. There is one Washington Water Trails site available for people arriving by human-powered boats (kayaks). It's first-come, first-served, with a picnic table and fire ring.

    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.

    Tall Chief Campground

    Nice, quiet and woodsy

    We are here in November for a week. We really love it here. The staff are friendly and helpful. Lots of trees in our section separating us but in other sections your really close to each other. It is first come first serve and lucky us we got 50 amp. I would scout the map and be first for checkin just in case someone left that day because their are only a few 50 amp. Hopefully you aren’t spending too much inside to matter but we have a washer dryer and a residential fridge and a small fridge. Looks like newer picnic tables and they also provide fire rings. You are about 20 minutes from downtown Redmond. We will definitely stay here again. I bet summer is really busy because it’s a great area. Also not far from Snoqualmie falls and lots of hiking available. Really nice laundry room and play area for kids. I wish they had a fenced off leash area for dogs but they do have 3 different potty areas for them.

    Dosewallips State Park Campground

    Great Shrimping take off point

    We usually stay here during our annual shrimping trips. The site is in a valley so when heavy rainfall happens you will get muddy, swampy sites. During sunshine, the place is great.

    The campground has cabins, rustic shelters, and tent and rv site. The cabins are great for families and have a bunk bed and futon set up with a table set and even heaters.

    Bathrooms and showers on site, though showers will cost you. Sites are pretty open, though there are a few that are a bit hidden. Lots of areas to hike and explore, even a hidden waterfall a short drive away.

    Great for shrimping, clamming and oyster hunting.

    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!

    Tolt MacDonald Park, WA

    cute woodsy getaway super close to the city!

    told macdonald is super cute park and campground! they offer the typical primitive campsites with fire pits and picnic tables, as well as yurts and shipping container conversions for those who want more of a "GLAMping" outdoor experience. the campground, park and trails are very well maintained and they even provide you with garden carts to help you get your stuff across the bridge. great spot for steelhead + salmon fishing. we've fished steelhead and pinks out of the snoqualmie river in the past. it's located right smack in the middle of carnation so on a nice sunny day you could walk out of the park to get pizza, ice cream or even mexican food. the suspension bridge is pretty cool, but hold onto your phones tight because it could slip through the holes into the river below. i would rate this place as 4-5 star park / 3-4 star camping since it's not even close to roughing it. those bucolic woods are our backyard.

    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.


Guide to Covington

Cabin camping near Covington, Washington provides access to diverse landscapes within a 30-mile radius, ranging from riverside retreats to lakeside accommodations. The region sits at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains with elevations from 300-1,000 feet, creating mild camping conditions year-round with temperatures typically between 40-80°F depending on season. Winter cabin camping requires preparation for frequent rainfall averaging 4-6 inches monthly from November through February.

What to do

River activities at Kanaskat-Palmer: During summer months, visitors can wade in the Green River or watch kayakers navigate the rapids. "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," notes one camper at Kanaskat-Palmer State Park.

Hiking trail access: Many cabin locations offer direct access to hiking trails of varying difficulty. At Tolt MacDonald Park, "each site seems to have a trail connecting to the outer trail that runs along the river. Big entertainment for three boys who explored the woods and played on the rocks and in the eddy pools at the public river take-out," according to a visitor at Tolt MacDonald Park.

Wildlife viewing: Cabins at Dosewallips State Park offer prime locations for wildlife spotting. A camper explains, "Every night, my husband and I would walk to the wildlife viewing platform to see lots of birds, or walk down by the river and see lots of elk and bald eagles."

What campers like

Private, spacious sites: Cabins at Kanaskat-Palmer provide good separation from other campers. "The sites are large with lots of trees. One loop has electricity (no water or sewer hookups but has a dump station) and the other does not. It has 6 very clean individual bathrooms with a shower in each," says a frequent visitor.

Clean shower facilities: Most cabin facilities maintain well-kept bathroom amenities. "Bathrooms in that loop were pretty nice... heated and very clean," reports a reviewer at Tolt MacDonald about the facilities near their cabin accommodations.

Family-friendly playgrounds: Several cabin locations include recreational areas for children. Fay Bainbridge Park features "Amazing kids area pirate ship. Great beach walk and good camp sites," according to one visitor at Fay Bainbridge Park.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities require advance booking, especially during summer months. At Lake Sawyer Resort, "We got lucky and snagged the very last spot here on a Saturday in late September. It's a beautiful campground, very peaceful, other campers were quiet and respectful," notes a visitor at Lake Sawyer Resort.

Cabin types and amenities: Cabin styles range from rustic to modern across different locations. For the shipping container cabins at Tolt MacDonald, one visitor shares they are "super cute park and campground! They offer the typical primitive campsites with fire pits and picnic tables, as well as yurts and shipping container conversions for those who want more of a 'GLAMping' outdoor experience."

Parking situations: Some cabin locations require walking from parking areas. "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," mentions a camper about their experience.

Tips for camping with families

Safety considerations: Ranger presence varies by location. 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 quiet as myself and three 9-year-old girls were talking too loud."

Water play options: Multiple cabin locations offer swimming opportunities. "We usually take the kids to the lake at Nolte state park (approx. 3 miles away) for water play," suggests a parent from Dosewallips State Park Campground.

Kid-friendly hiking: Look for shorter trails suitable for children. "Lots of group tent sites as well as regular RV and tent sites. Each site comes with fire pit, hook ups, and a picnic table. Showers and bathrooms are clean and only costs quarters for a shower with hot water. Great way to bring the whole family together," shares a regular visitor.

Tips from RVers

Hookup limitations: Many cabin and RV sites have partial hookups only. At Tall Chief Campground, "No sewer connections which can be a bummer, but the nice bathrooms make up for it. The staff are always super nice and helpful," mentions a regular visitor.

Site selection: Choose carefully based on your needs. "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."

Cell reception: Coverage varies significantly between sites. "Another thing that can be annoying is trying to find a site with good cell reception due to all the trees. They definitely have a few, but 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."
