    The Cove is located between the two small towns of Quilcene and Brinnon, nestled in a scenic area of Highway 101 that hugs the shore of the great fjord, Hood Canal and at the eastern edge of the Olympic Mountains. Within minutes there are marinas, three major rivers and clam and oyster beaches. Bring your kayaks, boats and scuba and fishing gear. Take in the annual ShrimpFest in Brinnon and the Quilcene Saturday Market, visit Whiteney Gardens & Nursery (a world reknowned rhododendren nursery) and the Quilcene History Museum. The ranger station in Quilcene offers detailed maps and information about the Olympic National Park and the Olympic National Forest and all of its many hiking trails. Camp Parsons is a mere mile from the park, making the Cove the closest, most convenient location for camping parents of the boy scouts...welcome!

    Fall Creek Campground

    Neat Spot

    You are supposed to have a Washington State Discovery pass to stay here, also they want you to fill out self registration once you arrive, fyi there are no pens onsite to do so.

    This was a nice spot to stay the night, clean, nice picnic tables and fire pits, one pit toilet.

    Puget Sound visit

    Good place for families that looks to be kept really clean. The spaces are packed in fairly tight with no dividing barriers of trees. Campsite 10 looks to be the best as it has a little canopy tree and is in the corner without obstruction for a view of the Puget Sound. Water and electric hookup, picnic table, fire pit at each site with additional bathroom with a shower for the grounds. There is a ship playground for the kids and beach volleyball court. It is nestled back through an area of homes that back up to sites 1-8.

    Great little place by the river

    Just about 10 miles north of highway 12 near Elma. Got a great site right by the river. Nice toilets & showers (in old building so was pleasantly surprised!) wifi by information center, cell coverage limited (1 bar t-mobile with Weboost)

    4 Day stay

    Came to stay 4 nights and camp with family.
    Sites are nicely sized but any rig over 25foot would have trouble getting into. Absolutely no cell service. In Site 25 we had enough of an opening to get Starlink to work ok. In the reserved loops bathrooms are flush toilets and kept clean. Forest is thick There is a dump site which says it costs $5. Potable water throughout.

    Best. Spot. Ever.

    Went here for a social event and had a blast. Big sites with lovely paths between, wonderful shop with firewood available at any hour (just square up when the place is actually open), clean plumbed bathrooms and a coin operated shower at $0.50/minute. There’s a beautiful meadow, a creek, huge trees. The owners are incredibly friendly and the place is very dog friendly.

    Arrived just a few min too late...

    This looked like a pretty good campground. I could see open tenting spots from the road, even! But I was unable to get in early in the evening with nowhere else to go. Too strict!

    Riffe Lake RV/Tent Camping

    They have several back-in spots, some with partial hookups and some with full hookups. Most of the spots are well-shaded from the trees. A specific area is designated for tents only, and some cabins can also be rented. It was a 5-minute walk downhill to reach the lake, which had a very long and nice boat ramp deep enough to accommodate just about any boat. Regarding cell service, I got 3 bars of LTE with my iPhone. Overall, it was a nice, quiet, shady place to visit, and I will definitely be back.

    Tons of places to camp, can be a party spo5

    I came on a Friday so i could get up early to go hiking. I put up my hammock around 7pm, nobody's else there. Around 9-11pm a few people including a 5th wheel arrived and spent a bunch of time moving that around. They ran their generator, lights and music until 2:30am. My bad for coming on a Friday. Woke up to a beautiful sunrise and spent time on the bridge taking photos before riding up the gravel road up to the Summit Lake hike.

    Lots of spots along the road which I'll utilize next time to avoid the party :)

    Awesome place!

    I came for my birthday and had a great time. Staff was so friendly and helpful, and the place was clean. They have a little store in case you forget something and firewood that’s way cheaper than buying elsewhere. People were fishing, paddle boarding and swimming. I would absolutely go stay there again!

    Dosewallips State Park

    Well-Kept State Park Campground

    I spent three nights (arrived Monday, departed Thursday) at this lovely campground about an hour from my house.  The grounds are well-maintained with easy access to some hiking trails that are easy to moderate in difficulty. (If I were in better shape without 50+ years of knee problems, I'd rate all the trails as easy.)

    The campsites are a short walk to the Dosewallips River, which is shallow and not very fast this time of year. It's a longer walk to the Hood Canal itself.

    You're not going to have a private, quiet, pristine wilderness experience here. US 101 runs through the park next to the campground, and the logging trucks can be quite loud. There are lots of families -- meaning, kids running around and riding bikes -- and the campsites are close to one another without any privacy. But, highway traffic is pretty much nonexistent in the evening and night and the entire camp was pretty quiet by 9 pm every evening.

    The camp is arranged in a bunch of loops. The first and last sites in each loop are preferable because of all the open space between the site and the road. The last site -- in my case, No. 20 -- is the best with an RV because the trailer will provide privacy from the adjacent campsite and there's a big space to other sites. (See the attached photo.)

    T-Mobile was 2 bars of 4G LTE reception. I have a Pepwave cellular modem in my trailer and had virtually no problem streaming shows.

    Dash Point State Park

    Shake out

    I live 5 miles from this park and am here all the time, just not for camping. I came for one night to do a shakeout in my new to me trailer. My husband came to be my second set of eyes as I set up camp and to entertain our kiddo while I made dinner. Then we drove him home since he had to work in the morning. Several reviews complain about the airplane noise overhead, but I live in Federal Way and cargo planes from JBLM often fly over my house so some commercial airlines don't bother me one bit. I was in a pull-through full hook-up site. I did not hook up the sewer hose however because the lid was broken and I would have had to find a large rock to hold my elbow in place. All in all, it's a nice campground and was quiet. I didn't even hear the cars on road.

    Mike and the ladies in the office just great people, very helpful and friendly

    Small park, a little road noise but nothing that bothered us, will stay here again.

    Had full hook up, everything worked as it should.

    The store has a good stock of stuff.

    Bad Situation Turned Out Terrific!

    We arrived at 10pm with 2 exhausted kids and someone had sniped our site! We went to the Campground Host and not only did they get us into an emergency spot (which was actually better) they gave my kiddos each a little toy. They even checked on us each day to make sure everything was going well in the new site.

    Falls Campground- amazing!

    A park ranger in Shoshone told me about this spot! It's ffs camping, but it was the middle of the week so I had no trouble snagging a spot around 7. My campsite (37) was cozy, with soft ground for the tent, a fire pit, a beautiful view, and an easy walk to the rushing waterfall. If you like calming.white noise, site 37 is for you.

    Staying a Kid Valley Playground

    I recently stayed at Kid Valley Campground and had a fantastic time. It’s the perfect spot for anyone who loves nature and adventure. The campground is ideally located for exploring the Mt. St. Helens area, with great hiking and biking trails nearby. 

    As an avid fisherman, I was thrilled with the easy access to the Toutle River and nearby lakes. The salmon and steelhead fishing were excellent, and I also enjoyed a short drive to Coldwater Lake for some great fly-fishing and Silver Lake for bass and trout. Winter activities are also a big draw here. There’s hunting, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling in the nearby Toutle State Forest.

    One of the highlights for me was how family-friendly the campground is. It’s a perfect spot for kids to explore and play games like Toca Boca around the campsite. They offer special rates during hunting season, which is a nice bonus for hunters. Overall, Kid Valley Campground is a wonderful blend of relaxation and outdoor adventure. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty near Mt. St. Helens.

    Big Creek Campground

    Clean & Low-key

    Big Creek is perfect for everyone who is looking for a decent, no-frills campground. Located a short distance from Mt Rainier NP, this is the perfect springboard for any NP adventure or chillax getaway. We were fortunate to snag site #2, which has easy access to the creek and a decent small swim spot to cool off on a hot day. No bathrooms, just vault toilets - and it looks as if a couple are on deck to be replaced as of this writing.
