What to do

What campers like
Privacy between sites: Tall Chief Campground features natural separation. "Most sites are pretty big too. We can easily fit our trailer, tow vehicle, and extra vehicle and still have space!" explains a reviewer at Tall Chief Campground.
Clean facilities: Maintained bathrooms are consistently mentioned in reviews. "Bathrooms are usually found to be immaculate. The main bathrooms have a great 'spa' feeling to their design and make you feel like you are glamping," notes a Tall Chief Campground visitor.
Convenient shopping: Many parks offer proximity to stores and services. "This is a perfect place for dropping your mobile hotel room and explore Seattle and the surrounding areas," explains a review from Trailer Inns RV Park, mentioning the convenience for exploring the region.
What you should know
Cell reception varies: Coverage can be spotty in more wooded areas. "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.
Traffic noise: Some rv sites near Issaquah, Washington experience road noise. "Office manager is a real doll. Park is actually in need of some attention. It used to be larger than it is now, but the city purchased it and it is only half as big as oft used to be," notes a visitor at Issaquah Village RV Park.
Resident campers: Several parks have long-term residents. "Limited space, place is mostly long term users. Nice facility very clean and well run," explains a visitor at Blue Sky RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Some parks offer dedicated children's areas. "This is a very clean campground that is a mix of short term campers and traveling nurses. Indoor pool, small playground, dog run and well marked facility," says a reviewer from Trailer Inns RV Park.
Nature observation: Wildlife viewing opportunities exist at several parks. "Around the perimeter of the park are short hiking trails through the trees — somewhat steep gravel trails that give you an added level of workout over laps around the park," describes a visitor at Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor.
Camp store availability: Check which parks offer supplies on-site. "This RV park 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," notes an Issaquah Village RV Park visitor.
Tips from RVers
Power limitations: Check amperage before booking. "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," explains a camper at Enumclaw Expo Center RV Park.
Pad surface conditions: Most parks have gravel sites with varying levels. "The spaces are very close together, but there are a lot of trees and it's very well kept. The facilities and grounds are clean and well cared for," notes a Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor visitor.
Reservation requirements: Availability can be limited, especially for short stays. "We reserved a space for 1 night the day before. Great communication with Brett, everything went really smooth. The facilities are great and very clean, the park very quiet," shared a visitor at Blue Sky RV Park.
