Best Tent Camping near Matlock, WA

Went in the middle of the week and wasn't busy at all. Can tell this place is packed on weekends, being so close to Olympia. Nice swimming area with snack bar. Many of the tent camp sites are not private and right next to their neighbor. Overall a nice place to go during the week.

This place had it all; open RV camping, secluded van camping, tree canopy car/tent camping, walk-in camping, and themed safari tent camping, and one cute mini airstream. 

Lake down the road. Water and electrical hookups, dump station with dump water and fresh water. 

Restrooms and showers are scattered around. Showers are coin based and there is a machine to turn your dollars into coins.

Nice small quiet park with a mix of tent sites, cabins, and RV hookups. Not far from the beach.

I’ve been coming to this state park for as long as I can remember. There’s so many activities to do; clamming, shrimping, hiking, hunting for oysters, and there’s even places to rent kayaks. No shortage of bald eagles here either. Plenty of group tent sites as well as regular RV and tent sites. Each site comes with fire pit, hook ups, and a picnic table. Showers and bathrooms are clean and only costs a quarters for a shower with hot water. Great way to bring the whole family together. Will continue coming to this state park and campground for as long as I can.

We were surprised when we pulled off to find such a nice place to camp. Great tent sites and free hot showers. Would definitely come back!

We stayed here for the weekend. It was good. The RV sites are super close to one another, but the tent sites were a little more wooded and secluded.

While it’s quite basic it gave an amazing nature experience. We usually do tent camping, but we opted for platform tents here as we were only staying one night. The tent was much nicer than we expected and had a good amount of space. We enjoyed hiking to the near by rivers. This was a great place to stay!

This is a nice little campground. Mostly tent sites or really small campers. There are a few larger events sites. Nice trails right from camp. No dump. Flush toilets with running water. No electric.

Our site is one away from from the toilet/ bath house there are 6 combo rooms. There are 3 cabins, 12 full service sites, tent sites some w/ electric. Laundry 1 washer and dryer.

Camped over the long weekend. Tent camping. Was in spot 28 which is not on lake side. Found that there is little privacy between sites. The bathroom is showing its age though the shower is free. The campground is dog friendly. It is pretty quiet campground.

These sites are nice and secluded. Most are like little wooded coves. The tent sites were small, but good for a 4-6 persom tent. The restrooms are clean and have showers. The city of Westport was charming and not a far drive.

Found this camping spot on a busy holiday weekend. Hardly anyone here. Good for us! Prices are great. $30 + for full hook. $20 for just parking two vehicles. A campervan and a tent. Camped in B-10, right by cliff area and the ocean. Would stay here again.

We stumbled upon this campground by chance and were quite happy to have done so. We came early in the morning and were able to get a tent site (first come first serve $20/night) before setting out to explore the Staircase area of Olympic National Park. The campground hosts were super friendly and gave us great advice on where to go in the area. Our tent site had a fire pit with grill, picnic table, and nice gravel parking pad. The spots here are well dispersed and set back in the woods for the most part so they felt very secluded and peaceful. We didn't spend a ton of time around the campground and this was just a one night exploration base but overall it was clean, offered good basic amenities and was very quiet and tranquil.

Tent site had an amazing view and easy access to the river. All sites we clean with firewood provided. Staff was friendly and working hard to build more sites. Bldg for the laundry room needs some love but was clean and got the job done.

Millersylvania is located South of Olympia on Deep Lake. The campsites are nice, they have both RV, Yurts, and Tent sites. The RV loop does pack you in their like sardines. Deep Lake is a murky lake but is stocked with fish and has designated swim area.

Camp Thunderbird is owned by the Boy Scouts of America and is available for public use. It is located at the base of Summit Lake, with a dock and great swimming spot. There are tent sites, adirondacks, and cabins. There is a great big field and lots of trails.
