Lake Pleasant RV Park accommodates pets up to 25 pounds with a limit of two pets per site. The grounds offer walking trails around the man-made duck pond where many visitors exercise their dogs. North Sound Recreational Vehicle Park also allows pets with the same weight limit and quantity restrictions. Most campgrounds in the area require dogs to be leashed at all times when outside the RV. The full-hookup sites at these parks include water, sewer, and electric connections, with Lake Pleasant providing paved and level spots separated by privacy hedges that create contained areas for pets.
Campers report the walking paths at Lake Pleasant are particularly good for dog walks, with short hiking trails through trees around the perimeter providing additional exercise options. Woodlands at Lake Stickney features tent sites near the water where dogs can enjoy lakeside views alongside their owners. The public access area includes restroom facilities, making it convenient for pet owners. When camping with dogs in the Kenmore area, visitors should note that most parks have strict leash policies, and some restrict certain aggressive breeds. The area's moderate climate makes year-round camping with pets possible, though rainy conditions can create muddy paws, particularly during winter and spring months.

"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."
"Nice wooded campground with access to the water. Plenty of opportunities for day hikes and not far from port orchard Washington. Some sites have hookups and others are dry camping."

"I looked at all the RV/Trailer Parks close to Seattle. They were either over priced money traps, or crammed in so tight that there was no room to turn yourself around.

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
ScoutStayed here 2 nights... . sign in and yu can stay for free 3 nights. If yu want electrical and water, it is 20$ . Wifi in the casino. Friendly staff.
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
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.
ScoutIt was a quiet and private place to pull in for the day on my way through the peninsula. The casino is literally across the creek for dinner but is still quiet and feels secluded.
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!
The greater Seattle region offers year-round camping opportunities for pet owners, with Kenmore positioned near several forested areas that transition from urban neighborhoods to more secluded natural settings. Most campgrounds near Kenmore are under 500 feet elevation with moderate temperatures averaging 45-75°F throughout camping season. Winter camping often brings muddy conditions with 37 inches of annual rainfall concentrated between November and March.
Lakefront activities: At Vasa Park Resort, campers can enjoy direct lake access for swimming and paddling. "Beautiful beach area, basketball courts, playground, and volleyball right at the site," notes Erin A., who found the waterfront amenities particularly accessible even during shoulder season.
Trail exploration: The walking paths around Tolt MacDonald Park provide both riverside and forest experiences. Mercedes D. mentions, "The suspension bridge is pretty cool, but hold onto your phones tight because it could slip through the holes into the river below." The park connects to longer hiking routes through surrounding woodland areas.
Wildlife observation: Several campgrounds feature small lakes or ponds that attract local wildlife. At Flowing Lake Park, waterfront sites provide opportunities for birdwatching. "The lake access with boat launch and fishing dock" makes this location ideal for observing aquatic species according to Mindy P., who recommends fall camping for best wildlife viewing conditions.
Heated accommodation options: For cooler weather camping, Fay Bainbridge Park offers cabin rentals alongside traditional tent sites. Judy J. appreciates the beachfront location but notes, "Beautiful beach, great views of Mt. Rainier & Baker on a clear day, cruise ships going by, pirate ship playground for children." These amenities make shoulder season visits more comfortable.
Proximity to urban conveniences: Campers appreciate how Lake Pleasant RV Park balances natural setting with nearby services. John M. explains, "Close to Seattle, feels secluded, but you can walk or take a short drive to restaurants, groceries, anything you could want or need." This makes it practical for visitors who forgot supplies or need to restock during longer stays.
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain exceptionally clean bathrooms and common areas. At Tall Chief Campground, reviewers consistently mention facility cleanliness. Terri comments about Lake Pleasant that "The facilities were very clean, laundry was great and very affordable! Lots of geese, ducks, and bunnies are around the property."
Campsite privacy varies significantly: Site separation differs dramatically between campgrounds. At Dash Point State Park, Brittany D. was impressed by "how spread apart the sites were," noting the "privacy between each of the camping spots." Other parks have more condensed layouts with minimal separation between neighboring campers.
Limited sewer hookups: Several campgrounds lack direct sewer connections. Derek & Alex W. note that "no sites have sewer hookups" at Tall Chief Campground, explaining that "a service needs to pump the septic tank by the dump station for the entire park." Budget $60 for mid-stay pumping service if staying longer than 3-4 days with heavy water usage.
Seasonal closures and limitations: While many campgrounds operate year-round, some facilities close during winter months. Bathhouses, showers, and water connections may be winterized from November through March, even when camping remains available. Research current status before arrival, especially during transitional months.
Playground access: Flowing Lake County Park features exceptional play areas for children. Ryan O. describes it as "awesome for little kids. Amazing play structure." Several other dog-friendly campgrounds near Kenmore include dedicated children's areas with modern equipment suitable for various age groups.
Beach quality considerations: When selecting a waterfront site, research the swimming area conditions. Ryan O. notes at Flowing Lake, "The swimming area is also just rock and mud. A few loads of sand would make it infinitely better." Campgrounds with maintained sandy beaches tend to be more comfortable for families with young children.
Cabin options for easier family trips: For families new to camping, several parks offer cabin rentals that simplify the experience. Marisa N. explains that at Flowing Lake, "The cabins are heated and have bunk beds, which makes for a cozy retreat into nature in the winter." These accommodations reduce equipment needs while still providing an outdoor experience.
Power limitations: Several campgrounds have older electrical systems with limited capacity. At Tall Chief, Derek & Alex W. experienced challenges during hot weather: "We ended up here during a heat wave and an entire section of the park blew after having several days of power issues." Larger RVs should confirm amperage availability before booking, especially when planning to run air conditioning.
Site access and navigation: Entry points and interior roads vary in width and condition. Erin A. advises about Vasa Park Resort: "When you're arriving the turn into the property is tough...easier to pull into their overflow across the street and drive straight in." Larger rigs should research approach routes and turning radii before arrival.
Storage options: Some parks offer short-term storage for travelers taking side trips. John M. found this helpful at Lake Pleasant: "They also have a small storage lot that can accommodate short storage. I camped, stored my camper while I went on a cruise, camped and then headed out for the remainder of an around the country journey."
