TravelerNice campground, well maintained and rangers often patrol the campsite loops. Bathrooms are nice but dated, but quite expensive campground. Paying in-person was $49 for an RV spot with utilities, but booking online was $69 for the same site. Can be busy on the weekend.
TravelerSpacious spots by a scenic lake. Can accommodate just about any size rig, plenty of sites for both tents and rvs.
TravelerBeautiful spot, lots of great spots for tents, rvs and travel trailers. Loved that there was plenty of space between campsites. Would spend multiple nights here!
ScoutFirst off you get what you pay for it's cheap but you're packed like sardines in a gravel lot that looks trashy as hell I didn't go in the restrooms because they don't have stuff there till after 6:00 p.m. so I was terrified by how disgusting they might be on top of it the owner is quite possibly the rudest most inconsiderate and unempathetic human I've ever encountered he gaslit the hell out of me he insulted my intelligence he lied about our conversations that place is so shady there's no checking or check out time written on their forms they will just make up a time that seems appropriate and then if you don't respond and how they like they'll tell you that you have to leave I thought it was just me but after moving to a beautiful Campground I talked to two out of their individuals that told me that they basically told him to F off and they would find somewhere else really horrible business practices and his sister is just as rude as he is trashy place with Shady practices and Shady people running it. Also if you're one that noise bothers you you will hate this because it's right on the highway and you can hear everything from every spot in the park. Especially if you're looking for nightly you can go down the street to the one they recommended and pay $18 less a night for way more beautiful place
ScoutI wanted to like this campground, but I wouldn’t stay here again for more than maybe one night.
There are signs EVERYWHERE warning about theft, which immediately tells you something about the area. I didn’t have anything stolen, but I was extremely careful about what I left out.
The biggest problem is that you’re basically on your own after hours. There is no campground host, no posted after-hours ranger number, and no non-emergency number at the campground or through the park’s phone system. The staff hours also seem very limited and inconsistent. I arrived around 6:30 PM and nobody was there, and staff didn’t seem to return until around 9–10 AM.
The bathrooms were dirty, out of toilet paper, and the showers were cold. One morning there was a large unleashed dog in the women’s bathroom that growled at me while its owner was showering. I believe she may have been homeless and using the facilities. Again, there was nobody around to contact about it.
Another night, people were extremely loud until almost midnight. Same problem: no host, no ranger and no non-emergency number. Unless something is serious enough for 911, you’re left to deal with it yourself.
There are also a lot of homeless people and visible drug addicts/drug activity around Federal Way. I had been warned about the area before coming here, and I understand why.
The park itself is pretty and might be fine for a quick overnight stay, but for multiple nights, I wouldn’t recommend it. Between the theft warnings, lack of after-hours staff, weird staffing hours, and no way to report non-emergency problems, I never really felt comfortable settling into my campsite.
GuideQuiet campground! Beautiful rainforest features. No showers. Clean flush toilet restrooms. Welcoming and friendly camp host. Long drive off 101 to get here.
GuideWe spent one night here. Short walk to the riverside.
GuideThis park has so much potential. Sites are a decent size with OK spacing, no site has sewer and the line at the dump site gets pretty long on the weekends so plan accordingly. There’s is no true access point to the lake but many walking trails from other campers. No, designated swim area if you are into that sort of stuff. A place where this park shines is the park for kids, it’s well kept (as long as campers pick up after their kids). Bathrooms were a little messy but again, this is mostly due to campers….
This park is pretty big but easy to get around. We stayed at main campground B and it has a lot of sites that are mostly in shade. They have a lot of trees but none messed with backing up or trailer height issues. Overall I don’t think I would book here again unless I needed a last minute spot.
TravelerI stayed there for one night on my way back to Seattle, and it was perfect for what I needed. Very quiet back there. The people were all super nice and accommodating. They had a dump site, restrooms outside and heated restrooms attached to the office area. I really loved that two of the permanent residents would do security at night as well. Being a woman and traveling alone, that made me feel very safe. Highly recommend this place!

Proximity to Mt. Rainier: Several glamping options near DuPont provide quick access to Mount Rainier National Park. Shannon H. notes about Elkamp Eastcreek: "We spent 1 night at Elkamp and were sad to have to move on so quickly. It would be a great base for exploring the south side of Mt. Rainier as it is within minutes of the Nisqually entrance."
Clean facilities: Campgrounds in this region maintain high cleanliness standards. According to Sarah Claire B. at Elkamp Eastcreek, "The bathrooms were always clean. There's designated dish washing station (though there's no spout right now) and potable water station."
Waterfront access: Riverbend Campground provides sites along water edges. J mentions, "We stayed there on a Thursday right on the river. Super peaceful, great fire pit location, water at the site entrance, portable restrooms away (but close), and best of all right at the river's edge."
Limited cell service: Many campsites lack reliable mobile coverage. A camper noted at Dash Point State Park: "I spent a weekend tent camping at Dash Point State Park, and honestly, it was a great time even though I completely failed to plan any meals. Thankfully, civilization is only about 15 minutes away."
Seasonal flooding: Alder Lake Park water levels fluctuate significantly. "Usually when water is at normal level the beach is all sand and water is clean and clear. Some camping sites have a steep walkway to them," explains Natashinka C.
Airport noise: Certain campgrounds experience flight path noise, especially those near Sea-Tac. Travis P. advises: "Commercial jets landing at Sea-Tac fly directly above us at a low altitude and are VERY loud and VERY frequent (every 3-5 minutes), so if you don't mind the noise, or LOVE airplanes (like we do), this is an Awesome campground!"
Reservation requirements: Most sites require advance booking, especially May through September. Christina F. shares about Millersylvania: "After months of trying to get reservations for this popular campground, we finally got one for Thanksgiving weekend!"
Look for swimming beaches: Several glamping options near DuPont include lake access with shallow areas for children. "The beach is the main attraction and it is hopping. We went early in the morning and staked a claim and were happy all day. There is a nice shallow area and two large swimming areas," recommends Ellen T. at Millersylvania.
Choose sites with playgrounds: Millersylvania State Park Campground offers family-friendly amenities. According to Calvin K., "We come here often as we live in Olympia.

Consider proximity to services: Campgrounds near towns allow quick supply runs. Geanna R. shares about Millersylvania: "It was raining for nearly our entire time here, but we still enjoyed the close/easy access to bathrooms, showers, potable water, and hiking trails, not to mention the numerous activities available near the lake."
Pack for varied weather: Rain gear is essential even in summer months. "The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because our site had a huge mud puddle from the road going to the power and water hook-up," notes Christina F. about camping during Thanksgiving weekend.
Hookup availability varies: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups year-round. Curtis B. mentions about Camp Lakeview: "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."
Site angles matter: Some parks have unusual configurations for larger vehicles. One visitor at Riverbend notes: "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."
Check electric capacity: Winter camping may strain electrical systems. At some campgrounds, breakers trip frequently in colder months when campers use electric heat. Sites with 30-amp service may require propane heating as backup.
