10 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Enumclaw Expo Center RV Park provides year-round RV sites with water, electric, and sewer hookups. The park features 50-amp service and paved, level sites that can accommodate large motorhomes. South Prairie Creek RV Park, located southwest of Enumclaw, also offers full-hookup sites with 50-amp electric, suitable for big rigs throughout all seasons. Tall Chief Campground near Fall City has spacious pull-through sites with electric and water hookups, though most sites only offer 30-amp service and lack sewer connections. "Sites were long and roomy with a fire ring and picnic table. Good cell service with AT&T and Sprint. We did not use the laundry but it looked fine. Our site was 30 amp only as all 50-amps were taken."
Advance reservations are strongly recommended for RV parks in the region, especially during summer and fall when parks fill quickly. Dump stations are available at most facilities, though Kanaskat-Palmer State Park only provides electric hookups without water or sewer at individual sites. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with better connectivity at parks closer to population centers. Most RV parks welcome pets but maintain specific leash and cleanup policies. Winter travelers should note that while year-round parks remain open, some seasonal facilities close from October through April. Propane fill services are limited, available only at Gig Harbor RV Resort and Angle Lake RV Park, both requiring a short drive from Enumclaw.
"We really enjoyed our stay here it was very quiet and peaceful sites were long and roomy with a fire ring and picnic table. Good cell service with AT&T and Sprint."
"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."
"Great place, peaceful, lots of trees. All types of site- large, small, full hook ups (30&50) to rustic, small tent area. Water pressure challenges on hill, WiFi ok/slow."
"This is definitely a RV resort, but there are 5or 6 tent camping sites under some big trees which provide shade almost all day. Nice bathroom and showers."
from $57 - $104 / night
"Water and Electric (50 amp) only. There are several dump stations nearby. Very quiet and low key."
"Very nice small park with basic amenities and large private or cramped sites based on what you choose and pay for. Some have fire rings."
from $35 - $50 / night
"Last minute on our way from mt ranier called and got a 1 night full hookup for the van. We could fill up water and dump before our return. Also took showers in their shower house and bathrooms."
"Look…it’s not a resort or a place you go to for the fun amenities. But, it’s 15 minutes to Seattle."
"Really nice campground that had everything we were looking for in an RV resort. Nice paved and level sites that can accommodate any size RV."
"Pros: Concrete level pads 50 AMP Full sewer & water hookup Excellent facilities Free dryer usage Clean pool 3-5’ deep Exceptional showers in bath house Cons: No picnic tables or shade on site RV"
from $10 - $30 / night
"We camped off Mather memorial parkway for just a few hours during a Questival and found it to be quiet, easy to access and plenty of firewood. Loved sleeping by the creek!"
"The facilities are great and very clean, the park very quiet. There are a lot of big rigs parked there, some of the pm long-term as it seems. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely visit again."
"Limited space, place is mostly long term users. Nice facility very clean and well run."
"Wanted them close by otherwise likely wouldn’t have stayed here. Great option for family in town and wanting to be close by. Close to the airport if you need to leave your RV for a bit and fly out."
"No shower or bathroom but the staff is friendly and the space is a slice of quiet nature. Imrated 4 stars because it is the most confusing location for a driver or friend to find."
from $100 - $120 / night
ScoutThis place covers your basics. Electric and water hookup, tight parking with neighbors less than 1ft away on both sides. The rating I gave is mostly a reflection of the staff though. The staff were not friendly, seemed annoyed that I was booking with them and provided incorrect information on how to park/setup so I had to turn my 33ft rig around 3 times in these very narrow driveways.
GuideWe were in site 29 in the Riverside loop. What a beautiful campground! We were humbled being surrounded by such stately old trees. Made us sad to learn the much advertised Big Fir (still with a sign in camp) had in fact been taken down 11 years ago. Still an impressive sight to see how massive it was. We REALLY enjoyed the John Muir trail, it was like being in another world. Our trees in Michigan don't seem nearly as huge anymore ;-) At first we were disappointed we couldn't camp inside Mt. Rainier. Now we know how lucky we were to be at the Dalles.
ScoutNo shower or bathroom but the staff is friendly and the space is a slice of quiet nature. Imrated 4 stars because it is the most confusing location for a driver or friend to find. It's nestled behind a Shell station and Google Maps will deliver your guests to a parking lot across the street..
GuideNice 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.
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
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.
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.
ScoutMy wife and I came to this campground recently (9/26 - 9/29) and overall it was a great trip. The staff (Rangers) were so friendly and helpful. The site we had for our 20 ft trailer was a pull-through site which was quite level. It was pretty shady and use of our solar panel was minimal. The proximity to Paradise was great. It was incredibly crowded at Paradise despite being so late in September. The campground filled up to full within a couple of hours of our arrival around 2:30 pm. Bathrooms are very basic (flush toilets and only cold water sinks). There was a water bottle filler right outside the bathroom and tasted great. There is no option to fill trailer tanks with water. Their water filler and dump station has been out of order for a couple of years per the ranger, so I don't expect it to be fixed anytime soon. We were told that there was a water filling station in Alder Lake Park but it is a ways from this campground. We brought our own water so didn't need it. Our site itself was great but there is a reasonable amount of debris around other sites. Overall, we would come again.
Enumclaw's RV parks and campgrounds sit near the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains at approximately 750 feet elevation. The area experiences mild summers with average temperatures between 70-80°F and cool, wet winters that occasionally bring snowfall. Most camping facilities remain accessible year-round, though winter weather can affect mountain access roads above 2,000 feet elevation.
Hiking nearby trails: South Prairie Creek RV Park provides access to the Foothills Trail, a 15-mile paved path ideal for walking and biking. "The owner Dwight is awesome and Jessie is fantastic... Grounds are very nice, looking forward to coming back," notes one visitor to South Prairie Creek RV Park.
Basketball and recreation: Blue Sky RV Park offers onsite activities including basketball courts and mini-golf. According to a camper, "Mini golf, basketball court, lakes, bingo, free donuts and coffee, showers are big and clean, price is fairly cheap."
Urban excursions: From Trailer Inns RV Park in Bellevue, visitors can access public transportation to Seattle. "This is a perfect place for dropping your mobile hotel room and explore Seattle and the surrounding areas. We have 5 kids and wanted to explore the area without having to travel for more than 10-15min to downtown Seattle."
Privacy and space: Tall Chief Campground offers larger sites with adequate separation. "We love Tall Chief because it is super close to a lot of great spots around the Seattle region... Most sites are pretty big too. We can easily fit our trailer, tow vehicle, and extra vehicle and still have space!" says one reviewer at Tall Chief Campground.
Clean facilities: Many campers mention the well-maintained bathrooms at Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor. A visitor notes, "Very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. I've stayed here numerous times over the past few years and this place is consistently amazing. Pet friendly, but not many attractions for children (no playground, no pool)."
Location convenience: The Enumclaw Expo Center RV Park receives praise for its strategic location. "Nice older park at the base of Mt. Rainier. Water and Electric (50 amp) only. There are several dump stations nearby. Very quiet and low key. It is situated next to a H.S. stadium so the game nights get a little bit loud but really not that bad."
Longer-term options: Some parks primarily serve extended-stay guests. Midway Village RV Park notes, "They're a long term only location with 6 months or more as the minimum stay."
Cell service variability: Connectivity depends on your specific site at Tall Chief Campground. "Another thing that can be annoying is trying to find a site with good cell reception due to all the trees... I'm getting 120+ mbs download on AT&T in my site right now, but several sites down from me, it can dwindle down to 5mbs!"
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. A visitor to Issaquah Village RV Park mentions, "I'll start with the thing to be aware of: you'll be camping 200' from I-90. But we found our ear plugs did a good job of quieting that noise enough for us to get a good sleep."
Limited child-focused amenities: Some RV parks near Enumclaw focus more on adult campers. A reviewer at Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor notes, "Pet friendly, but not many attractions for children (no playground, no pool)."
Indoor pool option: Trailer Inns RV Park offers an indoor swimming pool, helpful during rainy weather. "Indoor pool, small playground, dog run and well marked facility. Each space is large enough for camper and your vehicle and comes with a small storage shed."
Alternative recreation: Blue Sky RV Park provides family-friendly activities on-site. According to one camper, "Mini golf, basketball court, lakes, bingo, free donuts and coffee, showers are big and clean, price is fairly cheap."
Sewer connection limitations: Many Tall Chief Campground sites lack sewer hookups. "No sewer connections which can be a bummer, but the nice bathrooms make up for it imo," notes one camper. Another mentions, "I do have to knock a star for the fact no sites have sewer hookups. This is fairly understandable though as it appeared that a service needs to pump the septic tank by the dump station for the entire park."
Alternative waste management: Some parks offer pumping services. "We used a pumping service halfway through our time there. The park provided the information for the service. It was $60 though," shares a camper at Tall Chief Campground.
Power capacity concerns: Pay attention to electrical service limitations. "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. If you want/need one, you cannot get one."
