"We have a per van so highway noise didn’t bother us. A great place to stay when traveling near Greater Seattle area without having to deal with the city."
"Although the Camp Ground and facilities are great at Tinkham, my advice would be to get into your lifted Off-Roader and hit the mountain roads for this camping trip of a lifetime!"
$20 / night
"There is good system of trails, tons of picnic tables along the river, and good river access to the Green rivers.
Campground is well maintained, clean bathrooms and showers available."
"It's close proximity to our house allows us to hook up the trailer after work and include a Friday night in our camping weekend!"
$32 - $96 / night
"The river is only a five minute walk away, and we spent most of one day there. I was very surprised by how quiet it was for only being an hour outside of Seattle."
"The campground was quiet, not too crowded (Sunday - Tuesday) and so close to many trails. A quick walk to the river was a nice way to finish the day."
"The campground is next to a classy laundromat, and I say classy because it’s probably one of the nicest laundromats in the area that even has a dumpsite for RVs."
"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."
"This is a big park that is part of Thousand Trails. No sales pitch to join, which was nice. Rangers were super nice. Bathrooms very new and clean. Lots of trees between sites. "
"We love Tall Chief because it is super close to a lot of great spots around the Seattle region.
It’s super close (like 7 min drive) from one of my favorite coffee shops, Aroma Coffee Co. Try it!"
"Very cool spot with new generation trees growing out of old generation stumps, close to river for water, very popular spot so found a lot of trash but loved the sites and hiking trails nearby"
"Access road is right off the highway and unpaved, has a TON of holes so I wouldn’t recommend driving down it without good ground clearance."
$38 - $140 / night
"tempted to stop at Dru Bru Brewing just off the exit on your left."
"Far from bathrooms but close to path to river (but not directly adjacent to path)."
"A Quiet oasis tucked into the forest. The new and clean bathrooms and showers were a real treat after a 2100 mile journey from Texas."
"It’s a very nice location, exceptionally clean and safe.
In site 11 you can hear the highway when outside of rv but couldn’t inside. Neighbors were very friendly."

""Firstly, I just have to say what a positive and amazing experience I had at this campground. The volunteers were friendly, kind and absolutely awesome to interact with."
"This campground is hidden in the middle of a major Western Washington city, Federal Way. Once in the campground, you would have no idea that you are surrounded by a sprawling metropolitan area."
ScoutAbsolutely amazing spots. Very spread out. Big rig spots for sure but road is very potholey. Go slow. Find a spot. Fire rings. Plenty of wood laying around and if there is no fire ban it’s even better. Hope you get lucky like I did. There is a pay slash donation and worth every penny. Somewhere around 5$ a day or if you’re strapped for cash just cross your fingers.
ScoutGreat spot, I have been there before. But a recent fire has closed the grounds till 30sept2025
GuideThe park rangers are so nice and helpful it was like stepping back in time . The spaces are very private and spread out. Everything is clean including the bathrooms. I had a hot shower one day and a luke warm one the next. Watch out for stinging nettles on the paths to the river if wearing shorts. Very painful.
GuideHas a vault toilet and picnic table, first come first served
GuideThere are a ton of really great sites along this road, although most of the drive-in sites will be taken if it’s a busy weekend, so get there early!
GuideI love how easy it is to get to this campground from tacoma. The beach is great and the amenities are great! But it’s quite busy and loud.
GuideAccess road is right off the highway and unpaved, has a TON of holes so I wouldn’t recommend driving down it without good ground clearance. There are a number of established sites where you can pull off the road and drive back into the woods a bit. And I had cell service everywhere!
GuideChecked in here after 3 weeks of travelling, before giving our rental back. The owners just seemed to glare at me on check in, were not friendly and were the only place in our travels to take a copy of our ID. They were not welcoming and we felt that they didn't want tourists there. The site is 90% residents with them taking up all the lakeside spots. Travellers get the sites by the road. There were only 6 full hook ups with the rest being dry sites. This felt like a Butlins holiday camp to us and would not recommend unless you're coming for the lake, which I admit, is very pretty. The owners don't respond to email correspondence either. After our book in experience, I didn't feel comfortable in attending to ask to cancel our last night so emailed them, as equally the office was shut, but alas I am still awaiting a response. I didn't want this site to be the end of our amazing trip so booked into a stunning hotel for our last night.
ScoutI’ve until the last 2 years have been a Poulsbo resident over 40 years and over the course of time have been here many many times, be it individual sites-full hookup or most of the tent spaces for employment end of academic year
