What to do:

  • Fishing and Kayaking: Head to Willaby Campground for some fishing or kayaking. One reviewer noted, "The campground is small and right off the road but traffic noise isn't bothersome, particularly if you snag a site on the lake."

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate the cleanliness at Twin Harbors State Park Campground. A visitor remarked, "Very clean state park by the beach near Westport. Walking access to the beach. Clean restrooms and warm showers available."

What you should know:

  • Crowded Sites: Some campgrounds, like Twin Harbors State Park Campground, have sites that are close together. A camper mentioned, "The layout of this campground packs sites too close together. It feels more like tailgating in a parking lot than camping."
  • Limited Hookups: At Willaby Campground, there are no electric hookups. One visitor stated, "The sites are large with a paved drive that can accommodate several vehicles and trailers. No electric, water or sewer on the site."
  • Noise from Roads: Some sites near highways, like those at Potlatch State Park Campground, can be noisy. A camper noted, "The sites are dramatically close, so there is little to no privacy if it was busy."

Tips for camping with families:

  • Kid-Friendly Activities: Many campgrounds offer fun activities for kids. At Millersylvania State Park Campground, one reviewer said, "This is a very kid-friendly campground. Has a beer garden and snack shack but limited hours on those and rentals for the lake which was nice."
  • Spacious Sites: Look for campgrounds with larger sites, like Lake Sylvia State Park Campground. A visitor mentioned, "Many campsites are right on the small lake. The state park trails connect with City of Montesano trails giving a nice range of options for hiking and mountain biking."
  • Plan for Activities: Make sure to plan activities ahead of time. One camper at Rainbow Falls State Park Campground said, "Great trails and swimming spots for the doggos."

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Sizes: RVers should check site sizes before booking. A camper at Potlatch State Park Campground mentioned, "The spots are a bit close together and a bit difficult backing in to, but the spots themselves are clean and the park is great!"
  • Fill Water Tanks: Remember to fill your water tanks before arriving at places like Pacific Beach State Park Campground, where water hookups are limited. A visitor noted, "There aren’t water hookups so remember to fill up your tanks when you arrive!"
  • Use Dump Stations: Make use of dump stations available at campgrounds like Grayland Beach State Park Campground. One camper shared, "The full hookup sites were a great addition, and not having to worry about finding a separate dump station takes a lot of stress off our stay."
