18 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Mill Creek provides several RV accommodation options with Lake Pleasant RV Park in Bothell featuring full-hookup sites with 50-amp service and water connections. Tall Chief Campground in Fall City accommodates various RV sizes with 30-amp electric and water hookups but lacks sewer connections at individual sites. Issaquah Village RV Park offers both 50-amp electrical and sewer hookups for larger vehicles, while Trailer Inns RV Park in Bellevue maintains 100 sites with full hookups including 50-amp service. Most parks provide big-rig friendly spaces with concrete or gravel pads. "We had a great time at Tall Chief. The campsites were pretty tightly packed so we didn't have much privacy but the facilities were well kept."
Throughout the region, RV parks operate year-round with some offering monthly and extended-stay options. Sanitary dump stations are available at most locations, though Tall Chief requires using the central dump station or scheduling honey wagon service for $60. Cell reception varies significantly within parks, particularly at heavily wooded campgrounds like Tall Chief where service can range from 5 mbps to over 120 mbps within a short distance. Pet policies generally allow dogs with some breed and size restrictions. Several parks maintain laundry facilities and shower buildings for guest use. Reservations are recommended during summer months when occupancy reaches peak levels, especially for travelers requiring specific hookup configurations or larger site dimensions.
"We really enjoyed our stay here it was very quiet and peaceful sites were long and roomy with a fire ring and picnic table. Good cell service with AT&T and Sprint."
"Lots of trees in our section separating us but in other sections your really close to each other. It is first come first serve and lucky us we got 50 amp."
"Some sites are back-in, some pull-through. Some are lakefront. All are FHU. There is also one yurt. Site Quality: Paved camper pad on level sites."
"They have water, propane, and a dump. They also have great long-term rates."
from $62 - $750 / night
"Riverside no sewer hookups but have dump station by where you check in. Perfect to check in dump if you stay on river side. Train goes by various times."
"WiFi wasn’t the best but hot spots worked well enough. Showers and restrooms were clean"
"The proximity to the lake is very nice. The park is very well kept. This is a bit close to businesses, but still feels pretty sereen."
"Great place, peaceful, lots of trees. All types of site- large, small, full hook ups (30&50) to rustic, small tent area. Water pressure challenges on hill, WiFi ok/slow."
"This is definitely a RV resort, but there are 5or 6 tent camping sites under some big trees which provide shade almost all day. Nice bathroom and showers."
from $57 - $104 / night
"Indoor pool, small playground, dog run and well marked facility. Each space is large enough for camper and your vehicle and comes with a small storage shed."
"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."
from $45 - $70 / night
"Had full hook up, everything worked as it should. The store has a good stock of stuff."
"This is our first trailer camping trip ever so we wanted to start small and close to home."
from $44 - $49 / night
"Last minute on our way from mt ranier called and got a 1 night full hookup for the van. We could fill up water and dump before our return. Also took showers in their shower house and bathrooms."
"Look…it’s not a resort or a place you go to for the fun amenities. But, it’s 15 minutes to Seattle."
"What a great camp ground, has a beautiful lake the people that work there are so nice they keep the showers clean and the grounds."
"We wanted somewhere not too far away from our rental pick up in Seattle and chose this resort. There was a Walmart and Safeway nearby where we could get stocked up."
ScoutThis place covers your basics. Electric and water hookup, tight parking with neighbors less than 1ft away on both sides. The rating I gave is mostly a reflection of the staff though. The staff were not friendly, seemed annoyed that I was booking with them and provided incorrect information on how to park/setup so I had to turn my 33ft rig around 3 times in these very narrow driveways.
GuideThis historical campground has a great deal of history. It is one of the few forts that actually has 2 guns still in place. The campground is showing it's age but still a great place to be. Some of the sites are not private, others are slightly more private. The water flow can be a bit temperamental. There are lots of trails, a beach, bunkers to explore and a museum. During the summer there are kayak rentals, a little store and even paragliding. Fun place for all ages.
TravelerWe stay at bay view when ever we are in the area. Staff is great & the views are beautiful.
ScoutNo shower or bathroom but the staff is friendly and the space is a slice of quiet nature. Imrated 4 stars because it is the most confusing location for a driver or friend to find. It's nestled behind a Shell station and Google Maps will deliver your guests to a parking lot across the street..
GuideNice 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

Mill Creek campgrounds provide access to western Washington's diverse forests within 30 minutes of the Seattle metropolitan area. Situated in Snohomish County at elevations between 300-500 feet, the region's year-round camping options operate in a maritime climate with cool summers and mild, wet winters. Cell coverage varies significantly within individual parks, requiring campers to check specific site locations for adequate signal.
Riverside activities: At Thousand Trails Thunderbird in Monroe, visitors can fish along the riverbank. "Along the river you see fly fishing its amazing," notes reviewer Bill C. The campground sits directly on the water, though sites next to the river typically lack sewer hookups.
Woodland trails: Tall Chief Campground maintains walking paths through dense Pacific Northwest forests. "We love Tall Chief because it is super close to a lot of great spots around the Seattle region," writes Brodie D. The wooded setting creates a secluded atmosphere while remaining near urban amenities.
Mini-golf and recreation: Several campgrounds offer on-site recreational activities. "The pool, miniature golf, playground and basketball were great," explains Isabel G. about Tall Chief Campground. These amenities provide entertainment options when not exploring nearby attractions.
Privacy between sites: At Tall Chief Campground, campers appreciate the spacious layout. "Most sites are pretty big too. We can easily fit our trailer, tow vehicle, and extra vehicle and still have space," reports Brodie D. This contrasts with parks offering smaller sites.
Clean facilities: Lake Pleasant RV Park maintains well-kept bathrooms and showers. "The facilities were very clean, laundry was great and very affordable! Lots of geese, ducks, and bunnies are around the property," writes Terri. The park's $2 washers and dryers receive positive comments from multiple reviewers.
Natural setting: Despite suburban locations, many parks preserve natural elements. "Great privacy hedges between spots. The areas were paved and level. A great place to walk around and enjoy during your stay," notes a Lake Pleasant reviewer. The incorporation of trees and landscaping helps maintain a camping atmosphere.
Cell reception variability: Coverage can change dramatically within the same park. At Tall Chief, "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!" reports Brodie D. Location within parks significantly impacts connectivity.
Highway noise considerations: At Issaquah Village RV Park, proximity to I-90 creates noise issues. "You'll be camping 200' from I-90. But we found our ear plugs did a good job of quieting that noise enough for us to get a good sleep," advises Jerry B. Similar conditions exist at several area RV parks.
Limited tent options: Most parks near Mill Creek cater primarily to RVs with few tent sites. "Tenting areas are 10-15 feet from the road, so very noisy all night long," warns Geoffrey W. about Thunderbird. Those seeking tent camping should verify site locations before booking.
Playground access: Lake Pleasant RV Park provides play areas for children. "We did not use the bathrooms, but enjoyed the walking trails, playground for the kids, and watching the resident ducks in the pond," shares Nikki R. The park's duck pond offers additional wildlife viewing opportunities.
Budget-friendly rates: Some campgrounds offer reasonable extended-stay pricing. "Stayed 3 months for work, perfect beautiful, CHEEP CHEEP, not too good to be true, just right. All hook ups included," reports David O. about Tall Chief. Monthly rates can provide significant savings for longer visits.
Pool availability: During summer months, pools provide family entertainment. Thunderbird maintains a swimming pool, though maintenance varies. "Pool wasn't cleaned so it was swim at ur own risk," notes Johnathan B. Always check current pool conditions upon arrival.
Dump station locations: Not all parks offer sewer connections at individual sites. "No sewer connections which can be a bummer, but the nice bathrooms make up for it imo," explains Brodie D. about Tall Chief. Instead, campers must use central dump stations or pay for pumping services.
Big rig access: Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor accommodates larger vehicles. "Nice pull throughs but small Resort," mentions Peggy C. The park maintains gravel sites with full hookups, though spaces remain relatively close together.
Leveling requirements: Many parks have uneven terrain requiring leveling equipment. "It is not level," notes Vicky S. about Trailer Inns RV Park in Bellevue. Bringing leveling blocks ensures stable setup at most area campgrounds.
