13 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Campgrounds near Duvall, Washington range from developed sites with full amenities to secluded forest camping. The area includes Tolt MacDonald Park along the Snoqualmie River and Hollyhock Farm offering cabin options. These mixed-use campgrounds accommodate various camping styles including tent sites, RV hookups, yurts, and glamping setups. Several public parks in the region provide access to waterways and forest trails within a 30-minute drive from town. Top-rated camping near Duvall draws visitors with river views, hiking opportunities, and peaceful natural settings throughout the warmer months.
Reservations are recommended for most camping areas, particularly during summer months when sites fill quickly. Facilities vary significantly between campgrounds, with some offering full RV hookups, showers, and picnic tables while others maintain more primitive settings. "It's right in the floodplain, so it is only enjoyable when it is not rainy season," noted one visitor about Tolt MacDonald Park. Winter camping is limited in many locations due to seasonal closures or flooding concerns. Year-round campgrounds like Tall Chief Campground and Lake Pleasant RV Park provide alternatives during off-season periods. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, though coverage may diminish in more remote camping areas.
Campers consistently mention the rivers as highlights of the region, with access to both the Tolt and Snoqualmie Rivers available at several campgrounds near Duvall. A visitor described Tolt MacDonald Park as having "beautiful river access with mostly slow, shallow, and pretty clear water." Family-friendly campground options are common, with several reviews noting playgrounds, bike paths, and spacious sites ideal for group gatherings. Proximity to town amenities serves as another advantage for visitors, as most campground options lie within short driving distance to stores and services. Privacy varies significantly between campground options—tent sites on the river side of Tolt MacDonald Park offer more seclusion than the more open RV area. Noise levels remain relatively low at most camping areas despite their accessibility to Seattle, located approximately 30-45 minutes away.
"This campground is south of Duvall, which is an affluent town with shops and things to do."
"The campground is in 500+ acre Tolt-McDonald Park, far enough away from any busy road so that there is no traffic noise, just the sound of the Tolt River rapids."
"This is the nicest park with the best rates close to the Seattle area. It’s north of Lake Washington so you can skip bridge traffic and tolls. It has easy access to UW Bothell."
"The roadways are easy to navigate and lots of folks walk around the park roads."

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.
ScoutThis place is so nice. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked to the check-in desk. Dave and Victoria are so kind. This place is so nice and neat and clean. They have a pool and a hot tub which is a plus and a sauna. It was very nice to be able to chatter with them and joke back-and-forth like they were old friends. You can’t go wrong staying here. The only thing is I hate to tell anyone how nice it is cause then I might not be able to get in.
ScoutMy review is from my own experience but there are numerous other reviews that express my same sentiments. I was there 7 years and only had infractions during one month. (all from the same ranger) and one speeding infraction.
Port Susan Camping Resort has been a bad experience for me and presently turned to bitter. I sold my lot but the check got lost in the mail. I asked the sales agent to replace the check and I have waited approximately 35 days! I finally asked the board to intervene. This is bad business. This is a sample of the treatment or abuse I was given at Port Susan from the sales office. Replacing a check is easy and the money is not even drawn on Port Susan, it comes from the buyer. What would happen if I were paid but the buyer could not access the lot or wasn't given a gate pass or if the sales had to wait for their commission for 35 days after the sale? I was treated so unfairly! They showed me lots for sale with BLACK MOLD.I would think I am being targeted once again but there are many complaints that have been filed about poor management, unfair fines and being targeted if you speak up. The only recourse you have is to go to Tribal court since Port Susan Camping resort is Tribal owned. If you ask me this is a conflict of interest? Bottom line, absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Port Susan is like living under communist rule: The board took a vote to install 50 amp service, the members voted against it because most trailers use 30 amp. The 50 amp was installed any way and members have to pay for it. I spoke up on Campers Chat, but PSCC has the right to determine what will be allowed to be viewed. Freedom of Speech, NOT sat Port Susan. Members have to be careful who they speak to, if they speak against unfair fines to one of"them" they will be targeted. I have been targeted by one ranger who gave me 1200.00 worth of fines in one month. There used to be one ranger who patrolled lots 24 hours a day now there are 2 or 3. You are under constant survelience and fined for violations. Port Susan changes the rules constantly. One example, the road going downhill to the laundra mat and mailbox changed the speed limit to 5 miles per hour. Try going down a hill at 5 miles per hour. I was fined 200.00 at 5:00 am. This was thrown out because no one could do this but later going down hill to the front gate is a radar controlled system. I accidentally was going 17 mph in a 15 mph and was fined 400.00 for going over the speed limit for a 2nd infraction! no where in this country has fines like this but PSCC has unlimited power and no jusidiction. If you take it Tribal Court,( they lease the land to Port Susan you can be held liable to pay the attorney fees against Port Susan. There is less than 30 years on the lease so your membership is a poor investment. Not to mention that they have water pipe problems and boil water warnings posted periodically. If they decide to change all the water pipes the members will pay. I had rats get into my trucks. One was towed to Toyota and they found a rat. The rats got into the cab. I replaced this truck with a brand new Honda and during an oil change was notified that rat tracks were found all over my distributor cover and it was only at my site for 2 weeks!!! Many members tell the truth once they leave and abuse and mistreatment is the norm. THIS IS A FEAR BASED COMMUNITY Good luck with your purchase
ScoutFull Hookups at the waters edge at a marina with great views. But packed together with no picknic table or fire pit. Next to restaurants and shopping. It’s different
RangerIt was MAGICAL- mushrooms, fall leaves, and moss everywhere. Keep in mind that there’s no signal, Starlink nor cell.. we also were freezing at night (35 degrees) in early October and the spots were tricky for our bigger rig. But if you have a smaller rig there’s tons of places off of road 73 for dispersed camping. Bumpy road to get there but keep on driving and you’ll find places with even firepits.
LegendThe dispersed sites are on the narrow, gravel section. There are a few on the paved area but most have been blocked off. Even on the gravel section most are pull-offs or quite close to the road. They are dispersed sites so no amenities. Most are close or have access to the Sauk River. The road and TH’s were very busy but cleared out as evening settled in.
LegendRoad closures due to a bridge out closed off probably the better sites up top but we did find a great spot off the road with a view. Enjoyed a nice evening under the stars and a campfire.
ScoutIt IS a pretty, private, moderately priced rv park. Too bad -- there is a note announcing their permanent closure 10/31/2026. Enjoy it while you can!
ScoutJust a car park. Do not go to the front of the casino as there are over hanging branches that that can scratch your RV.

Plus, the road itself on the way up is very well maintained," notes one camper at Middle Fork Campground.
Fishing spots: The Snoqualmie River watershed provides steelhead and salmon fishing opportunities at various campgrounds. As one visitor to Thousand Trails Thunderbird observed, "Along the river you see fly fishing its amazing."
Playground facilities: Several campgrounds feature playground equipment for children. One reviewer at Flowing Lake Park noted, "Small loop trail. We do enjoy this campground for a quick getaway. Fall camping here is beautiful. Cabins available, also the most amazing playground."
Basketball courts: Some campgrounds include sports facilities. Blue Sky RV Park offers "Mini golf basket ball court, lakes, bingo, free donuts and coffee showers are bug and clean price is fairly cheap," according to a camper's review.
Large, private sites: Many campgrounds around Duvall feature spacious sites with good separation. "The sites were secluded from one another within a beautiful forest, the toilet was clean and fairly close to the sites, parking was easy and the host was a total gem!" reports a visitor to Hollyhock Farm.
Year-round options: Several campgrounds remain open throughout winter months. Tall Chief Campground provides consistent quality regardless of season. "We love Tall Chief because it is super close to a lot of great spots around the Seattle region... Tall Chief's biggest perk is probably how nice they keep the park. Bathrooms are usually found to be immaculate," notes one camper at Tall Chief Campground.
Lakefront recreation: Some of the best places to camp near Duvall include lakefront options with swimming areas. "We roasted hotdogs and s'mores over the camp fire and our dog loved swimming in the lake. It's a beautiful site and the park is kept incredibly clean," wrote a visitor to Vasa Park Resort.

Variable hookup options: Hookup availability differs significantly between campgrounds. "No sewer connections which can be a bummer, but the nice bathrooms make up for it imo," notes a camper at Tall Chief Campground.
Cell service considerations: Coverage varies depending on exact location. "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," advises a Tall Chief visitor.
Noise factors: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby roads or activities. "Tenting areas are 10-15 feet from the road, so very noisy all night long. The road is 35mph, so it's noisy," cautions a visitor to Thousand Trails Thunderbird.

Beautiful beach area, basketball courts, playground, and volleyball right at the site," reports a visitor to Vasa Park Resort.
Cabin options: For families wanting shelter beyond tents, several campgrounds offer cabins. "Spent a night in the yurt. Everything worked," notes a visitor to Tolt MacDonald Park. Another camper at Flowing Lake Park shares, "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."
Berry picking: Some campgrounds offer seasonal berry picking opportunities. "We enjoyed our stay at the middle fork camp ground. We stayed there to be close to the mailbox trail head. There were so many berries around the camp and we could literally sit in camp and pick blue berries," shares a Middle Fork Campground visitor.
Site privacy concerns: Privacy levels vary significantly between campgrounds. "As part of Questival's Seattle OktoberQuest, team #Kynanandalidontdocoolthing spent a wonderfully frigid night right outside the Middle Fork campground. The roads leading into the campground are superb, Pratt river is pristine, and the other nature users friendly," notes a camper at Middle Fork.
Site selection strategy: RVers should check sites carefully before committing. "In site 11 you can hear the highway when outside of rv but couldn't inside. Neighbors were very friendly. Pad was paved, level and long enough for Super C and toad," reports a camper at Blue Sky RV Park.
Dumping considerations: Not all campgrounds offer sewer hookups or dump stations. "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. Nice setting lots of outdoor and indoor activities with in a short drive. There's a charge dump station at the ministorage at the turn off," advises a Tolt MacDonald visitor.
Power limitations: Electrical service varies between parks. "Knocking another star as the majority of the sites are only 30 amp with antiquated posts. There are a few 50 amp sites but from what I saw they were all taken by RVers that are there on a more permanent basis," notes a Tall Chief Campground visitor.
Long-term parking options: Some parks accommodate longer stays. "This is a great RV resort. The picture on the app is not at all what this place looks like. A Quiet oasis tucked into the forest," shares a Blue Sky RV Park visitor.
