Tall Chief Campground in Fall City offers spacious RV and tent sites with pet-friendly amenities throughout the 29-acre wooded property. Dogs are welcome at all accommodation types including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, yurts, and glamping options. The campground features three designated pet potty areas strategically placed around the grounds, though several guests note the absence of a fenced off-leash dog park. Most sites provide ample separation between neighbors with thick trees creating natural privacy barriers. Site fees include pet accommodation at no additional charge, though the standard policy limits pets to two per site.
Hiking trails near Tall Chief provide excellent dog walking opportunities with the nearby Snoqualmie Valley Trail offering miles of pet-accessible pathways. The campground's location just 20 minutes from downtown Redmond and minutes from Snoqualmie Falls makes it convenient for accessing additional dog-friendly outdoor recreation spots. Many guests appreciate how the park's forested setting keeps temperatures moderate during summer months, providing shade protection for pets. Blue Sky RV Park in nearby Issaquah represents another pet-friendly option, known for exceptionally clean facilities and well-maintained grounds. Winter camping with pets remains viable as both Tall Chief and Blue Sky operate year-round, though Tolt MacDonald Park in Carnation closes seasonally until March.
"The campground is next to a classy laundromat, and I say classy because it’s probably one of the nicest laundromats in the area that even has a dumpsite for RVs."

LegendReally cute camp spot and play area!! Pet friendly and dog park! Went here on our trip to Tacoma north of the city. Very nice beach and area!! There's also a light house to check out while you are here!
GuideThis place is the best free camping in Washington. Coming from the Skykomish direction I believe it’s the turnoff to the right, right before the bridge. The old Cascades Highway road is barely travelled at all and there is rushing river right along the campsite. There is service and other pull offs along the highway if this spot is taken. There’s some large rocks that you have to maneuver around but my Subaru Forester got around it just fine.
TravelerThis is a big park that is part of Thousand Trails. No sales pitch to join, which was nice. Rangers were super nice. Bathrooms very new and clean. Lots of trees between sites. Hard to find one in the sun if that is what you are looking for. Looked like lots of long term campers. Very quiet. We enjoyed see the surrounding area - Beaver Lake Park, Carnation, Fall City. Didn't make it to Snoqualmie Falls, maybe next time.
GuideThis is my new favorite spot to camp in Washington. The spaces are well distributed, the location right next to the river is beautiful and the site staff were extremely gracious. I’d strongly recommend picking a number between 2 and 10 as those are the closest sights to the river if you’re looking to enjoy the sounds of the water. There is also a full bathroom at around the mid 20s if you’d prefer a functional toilet system.
GuideThere aren’t many rv parks that are close (35ish mins) to Seattle but this is the best option. Office staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean, laundry is cheap ($1 wash), maintenance staff is constantly tending to the grounds, full hook ups, and cute (short) hiking paths surrounding the park. The lake is more of a murky pond and the geese are happy residents here so expect a lot of goose poop at any spot near the water. There’s also no dog park.
GuideThis camp ground is not ideal if you have dogs. There is not much grass, in fact you have to go outside the park and across the street to hear compliant pet owner. We also found the electric box to be a little wonky. They office staff did have an adapter which help. It was very quiet and clean just not the most attractive campground.
ScoutExcellent location for those with military access to the base - active duty, retired or family. 30/50 amp hookups. Beautiful views of American Lake. Pet friendly.
GuideThis campground has super friendly staff, decent bathrooms and showers, laundry facility, access to a lake, fishing is welcome, swimming allowed, great playground for kids, allows pets, has a small store in the office with some essentials if you forget something. It is about a 1 Hour drive to the entrance of Mount Rainier National Park.
GuideThe prices for everything is amazing! The campsites are spacious and run along the creek! There are tent pads that make the ground not so hard under your tent. A table, grill and campfire ring at every site. The cabins are very nice! And are spacious as well. Have a porch swing, campfire ring, table and grill outside. Most cabins have an electric heater and a heat stove inside. The heat stove heats up the entire cabin very well!! They provide trash cans and bags and a broom to help keep the dirt cleaned up!
The bathrooms are very nice and clean. And they have firewood for sale on site. There is an attendant that will be there after work hours for people who are arriving late to get you checked in and answer questions you have. There are a couple of hiking trails, twin lakes, boats, canoes, and bikes to rent on site. There is also an enclosed dog park on site. There are tent sites, cabins, rv sites and even little apartments to rent for your stay. Great place and only 25 miles from town!
Tolt MacDonald Park in Carnation offers tent, RV, cabin, yurt, and glamping accommodations on forested grounds with river access. The area sits in the Snoqualmie Valley, where summer temperatures average 75-80°F and winter can drop to the 30s. Many nearby campgrounds stay open year-round, though facilities and trail access can be limited during winter months when precipitation averages 5-6 inches monthly.
Explore river trails and water access: At Middle Fork Campground, visitors can enjoy pristine waters and excellent hiking opportunities. "The roads leading into the campground are superb, Pratt river is pristine, and the other nature users friendly," notes Eric M. The campground provides a strategic location for outdoor activities with "lots of privacy" on the trails according to Aigul C.
Visit nearby attractions: Kanaskat-Palmer State Park offers additional recreation options within a short drive. "10 minute drive from Deep Lake which is beautiful and great for swimming and paddle boarding," according to Ashlie M. The park features river access and "short hike to river spots that are perfect for wading or fishing."
Try mountain biking: The region offers numerous trails for biking enthusiasts. "Campground loop is a nice walk or cruise on a bike," mentions Shay F. about Kanaskat-Palmer. Nearby trails connect to larger networks suitable for all skill levels, with most campgrounds providing direct trail access from sites.
Clean facilities: Lake Pleasant RV Park receives consistent praise for maintenance. "Bathrooms and showers with lots of hot water. Attentive on-site staff," notes Tom C. Kristin S. adds that "the grounds are nicely maintained, and staff to be very friendly."
Nature immersion: Campers appreciate the feeling of seclusion while remaining close to urban amenities. "It feels like you are deep in the PNW rainforest but you close to amenities and shopping," writes Adele W. about Tall Chief Campground. Even with proximity to Seattle, many sites provide natural buffers for privacy.
Wildlife viewing: Several campgrounds feature ponds, lakes, or rivers with resident wildlife. At Lake Pleasant RV Park, "the grounds are quiet... truly silent... save for the many geese that call the lake in the center of the property their home," observes Kristin S. Birdwatching opportunities abound, particularly at water-adjacent sites.
Seasonal considerations: Water levels and trail conditions vary throughout the year. At Tinkham Campground, most sites are "on the water and it is GORGEOUS!" according to Anela K., but accessibility changes seasonally as the campground operates "early jun-mid sep" according to site information.
Reservations essential: Weekends fill quickly, especially during summer months. "We pulled up last minute and there were still campgrounds and most of the sites were pretty clean!" says Alexa T. about Middle Fork Campground, though this experience becomes rare during peak season.
Noise factors: Some campgrounds experience ambient noise. "You might hear a bit of road noise, depending on your site," mentions Saraj B. about Dash Point State Park. Train noise affects certain campgrounds, though most reviews indicate it's minimal and doesn't significantly impact the camping experience.
Look for playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas for children. At Vasa Park Resort, Amy H. notes they "roasted hotdogs and s'mores over the camp fire" and enjoyed family-friendly amenities including "basketball courts, playground, and volleyball right at the site."
Consider water safety: Waterfront sites require extra vigilance with children. "The riverfront accessed from the campground tends to be a bit too raging for my taste with children. We usually take the kids to the lake at Nolte state park (approx. 3 miles away) for water play," advises Kelly P. about Kanaskat-Palmer State Park.
Check ranger patrol frequency: Some campgrounds maintain strict quiet hours enforcement. Kelly P. shares about 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." This provides security but may impact evening activities for families.
Site selection strategies: For RVers concerned about cell service, Brodie D. advises at Tall Chief: "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. 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!"
Hookup limitations: Many campgrounds offer partial hookups only. Derek & Alex W. note about Tall Chief Campground: "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."
Size accommodations: Most parks in the area can handle larger rigs but site availability varies. Richard D. finds Tall Chief provides "great camp site for all sizes. Mostly no sewer. But if you enjoy a little distance between sites without sacrificing camp size line up here."
