    Lake Pleasant RV Park accommodates pets with hedged sites offering privacy between camping spots. Located in Bothell, the park features a pond with resident ducks and geese, paved and level areas for RVs, and walking trails around the property. Full hookups include water, sewer, and electric connections. The park maintains clean facilities and allows dogs with some restrictions. Kitsap Memorial State Park Campground also permits pets and offers multiple accommodation options including tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, and glamping units. The park grounds are quiet and peaceful despite being only 30 minutes from Seattle.

    North Sound Recreational Vehicle Park enforces specific pet policies including a two-pet maximum with each pet not exceeding 25 pounds, and restrictions on aggressive breeds. The park provides trash collection and maintains a clean, safe environment in a residential setting. Woodlands at Lake Stickney offers more secluded tent camping with nearby water access. Most parks require dogs to be leashed when outside vehicles or designated exercise areas. Several campgrounds feature short hiking paths surrounding the parks where dogs can explore with their owners. Nearby grocery stores and propane services at some locations provide convenience for campers with pets needing supplies during their stay.

      Angle Lake RV Park

      No 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..

      Dash Point State Park Campground

      Nice 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.

      Trailer Inns RV Park (Bellevue)

      Delightful RV park close to the city

      This 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.

      Port Susan Camping Club

      Port Susan Camping Resort Warning

      My 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

      Mountain Loop Hway Dispersed Camp

      Overnight stop

      The 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.

      Camp Clark

      Perfect spot for car camping

      It 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.

    Guide to Mountlake Terrace

    Mountlake Terrace sits at an elevation of about 450 feet in Washington's Puget Sound region, with camping options scattered throughout the surrounding forest and lakeside areas. The area experiences mild temperatures most of the year, though winter nights can drop into the 30s. Campers typically find denser crowds during summer weekends when temperatures remain comfortable in the 70s.

    What to Do

    Beach exploration: 30 minutes away at Fay Bainbridge Park offers shoreline activities with mountain views. "Beautiful beach, great views of Mt. Rainier & Baker on a clear day, cruise ships going by, pirate ship playground for children," reports one camper.

    Wildlife viewing: Early mornings provide the best opportunities for spotting local wildlife. "Every night, my husband and I would walk to the wildlife viewing platform to see lots of birds, or walk down by the river and see lots of elk and bald eagles," notes a visitor at Dosewallips State Park Campground.

    Short hiking trails: Several parks offer walking paths around their properties. "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," mentions one camper about Lake Pleasant RV Park.

    What Campers Like

    Privacy between sites: Hedges and landscaping create separation at many locations. "Great privacy hedges between spots. The areas were paved and level. A great place to walk around and enjoy during your stay," shares a camper from Lake Pleasant.

    Seasonal rental flexibility at Tolt MacDonald Park accommodates various camping preferences. "They offer the typical primitive campsites with fire pits and picnic tables, as well as yurts and shipping container conversions for those who want more of a 'GLAMping' outdoor experience."

    Water access: Multiple parks provide shoreline or water features. "This campground is right next to a state park. It's also very close to a river and lots of woods," notes a visitor at Dosewallips State Park Campground.

    What You Should Know

    Varying shower facilities: Availability differs between parks. "Pay Showers ($.50 token) are in central Restrooms. Only 1 shower per Restroom," explains a visitor at Dosewallips State Park Campground.

    Site density considerations: Some parks offer more space than others. "The campsite backed up on the river, so we were able to wade in it and put out some chairs and sit on the beach. There is a little bit of road noise, and a lot of the sites have no privacy," reports another Dosewallips visitor.

    Laundry costs vary: When available, laundry facilities typically charge modest fees. At Lake Pleasant RV Park, "The laundry machines ($2 washer/$2 dryer) get the job done, with no need to keep feeding the machine."

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Playgrounds for children: Several parks offer play structures. At Flowing Lake Park & Campground, visitors note the "amazing playground. Playground is awesome for little kids. Amazing play structure."

    Consider seasonal timing: Fall offers unique experiences with fewer crowds. "Fall camping here is beautiful," shares a Flowing Lake visitor. "Great county operated campground campsites are spacious and private. Reserve ahead very popular especially during the summer."

    Cabin options for easier family stays: For those seeking more comfort with kids. "We typically visit the cabins here in the winter, so we don't usually partake in the summer activities of swimming, boating, etc., but we do love coming here in the winter. The cabins are heated and have bunk beds."

    Tips from RVers

    RV site selection: Choose carefully based on your specific needs. At Kitsap Memorial, "RV sites 1, 2, 4, 9, and 11 will be easier to back in to. The other full hook up sites are 90° approaches."

    Pet policies for RVs vary significantly across parks. At North Sound Recreational Vehicle Park, "Your travel trailer must be year 2005 or newer. Pet friendly(limit 2) not to exceed 25 lbs. Aggressive breed restrictions apply."

    Water pressure considerations: Some parks have infrastructure limitations. "Water pressure is low, averaging just over 20psi," reports a camper at Kitsap Memorial State Park Campground.
