    Dash Point State Park Campground

    Dash Point Beach

    Really 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!

    Dash Point State Park Campground

    Hidden Gem

    This campground is hidden in the middle of a major Western Washington city, Federal Way. Once in the campground, you would have no idea that you are surrounded by a sprawling metropolitan area.

    The campsites are small but private. They do allow for campfires but you should bring your own firewood. 

    There is a trail that follows a creek down to the shoreline. If you are into geocaching we found a few along the trail. Depending on the season this trail can be quite muddy.

    Dash Point State Park Campground

    Lots of Water Views, Nice Area of Federal Way, Unique Individual Sites

    Lots of water views and hiking - scope out the area if it's not crowded and get one of those sites. Federal Way is nice and near, so you've got museums and zoos within the general vicinity too. We liked the tall trees and that each site was different in size and shape. As long as it's not PACKED, this is as nice as just about anything you'd find. Yeah.

    Dash Point State Park Campground

    Dash Point Camping

    I would like tell you a few reasons why Dash Point made it a fantastic weekend for us. The camping site had all hookups for our 22 ft. Trailer. The park is close to Federal Way and Tacoma, but you wouldn't even know those cities were only minutes away. We hiked to the Inlet and beach.
    My critique is if you have a larger vehicle then 22 ft. you may want a pull through space since the roads are a little narrow to back into. No Verizon access, unsure about other services.
    We enjoyed our site and the camp ground.

    Silver Springs Campground

    New Favorite Spot

    This 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.

    Lake Pleasant RV Park

    Best option near seattle

    There 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.
