Best Cabin Camping near Onalaska, WA

Most pet-friendly cabins have specific policies limiting the number of animals, with some locations like Seaquest State Park designating only certain cabins for pets. Millersylvania State Park offers a cottage right next to Deep Lake, providing a comfortable alternative to traditional camping. Eagle Cliff Campground features "very small cabins that can be rented" alongside a well-stocked camp store that operates from 7am to 7pm.

Many locations operate year-round, though some like Thousand Trails Paradise (open April 21 to October 31) and Mayfield Lake Park (April 15 to October 15) have seasonal limitations.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and sleeping bags. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire pits with grills while others include small refrigerators, microwaves, or hot plates. Silver Lake Resort cabins provide access to clean, hot showers and boat rentals for lake activities. Basic supplies can be purchased at camp stores in locations like Eagle Cliff and Millersylvania State Park, though selection is limited to essentials.

    Eagle Cliff Campground

    Last stop on summer trip

    We picked this campsite as our last stop on a week long camping trip round Rainer and St. Helens area. Nice flat camping area, picnic bench fire pit, a bit of a mosquito challenge but not too bad. Lots of families, and maybe even groups. Has showers, which is what we mainly booked for. Small general store, basketball hoop, pizza shop, and some cabin rentals. Luckily the dance party ended just after dark, so we got plenty of sleep. Stayed only 1 night. Plus is ranger station 5 minutes from site, with maps, stickers, fridge magnets, etc. Ranger gave us detail on ape caves, and other are hikes for kids, AND ranger was cool enough to tell us all about his Bigfoot experience in the area, complete with mobile phone picture of footprint! Lots of kids and teens, but some fisherman too, who didn’t seem to mind the dance music and footballs flying around!

    Eagle Cliff Campground

    Mt St Helens Campground Oasis

    Lucked out with a last minute Father's Day weekend reservation at this great little campground located just at the junction of Mt St Helens and Gifford Pinchot. The campground is bookable online for only $15 a night which felt like a bargain for a private campground in the area. 

    There are only 10 camping sites - some are suitable for RVs. There are also very small cabins that can be rented. There is a well stocked camp store on the property which is staffed from 7am to 7pm. There is also a pizza place on the property which is visited by a lot of area day hikers, so if you want an all day quiet woodsy feel you might want a different location, but if you've been camping or hiking for days on end without any amenities, this place will feel like an oasis.

    The campground was busy over the weekend, but was nearly empty and quiet by the time Sunday night rolled around. We were at campsite #9 which was right next to a basketball hoop which got plenty of use while people were waiting for pizza (and was a bit noisy). The Pizza Place is not open everyday.

    Each site had a firepit with grill and a picnic table. The toilet in the camping area had cold running water and a flush toilet. The toilets closer to the camp store had hot water and an outlet. Showers are available for an additional $3 charge, and laundry facilities are available for $5 a load on certain days.

    The Camp Store had lots of knowledge about local hikes and what roads were open around MSH.  We used this campground as a base to hike Ape Caves, June Lake and Ape Canyon. It was about 30 minutes of forest road driving to the trail heads.

    Lewis North Travel Camp - Joint Base Lewis McChord

    Great Military only campground for a New Year's eve trip

    Great campground that serves military exclusively. We made a next day reservation due to the weather and just wanted a night away. Unfortunately the restrooms right next to our site were closed so it was a slight walk to the nearest restroom. Restrooms were heated and well taken care of. Only some of the sites have fire rings (so make sure to ask when making your reservation). The Northwest Adventure Center had propane, a dump station, firewood and tons of others things you can buy to make the outdoors more fun. Super quiet area. Only 2 dogs allowed per reservation. No camp-wide wifi but we didn't care about that. Great AT&T cell service. You can hear the nearby trains passing by but we were used to that already so it didn't bother us. Camp Host was amazing and able to answer our questions. Definitely will visit again.

    Ike Kinswa State Park Campground

    Nice state park on a lake

    General: Medium-sized park (100 sites plus several cabins) located on Mayfield Lake with three loops: two with hookups and one without. We stayed in the loop without hookups.

    Site Quality/Facilities: The sites are very generous in size with LONG paved driveway pads. The sites on the outer side of the loops are pull-throughs and the ones on the interior are back-in. Large wooden picnic table and a fire ring complete the site (although as with the entire state, there was a burn ban in effect). The sites are all heavily wooded, providing good separation between the sites. 

    Bathhouse: Small – two stalls plus two showers – and dated. No hooks or other options to store toiletries and no garbage receptacle. 50 cents for every three minutes of shower time. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on the quality but I have definitely seen better showers. 

    Activities: Water sports. There were plenty of motorboats out on the lake (not my thing but if it is yours, this looked like a good lake for watercraft). The loops are paved and I saw many riding their bikes. There is a trail that skirts the lake– a little over a mile point to point but with many paths leading from the campground loops. Rocky with lots of tree roots but very scenic. 

    Very pleasant stay here and would return.

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Go here!!!

    They have glamping! Or as the campground calls it: pampered camping. This is a beautiful park located on Deep Lake just outside of Olympia.  The park itself is huge offering lots of options for campers.  Super easy to get our trailer in and out of the spaces and there was lots of extra parking for our larger group.  A quick walk around the grounds offered a nice hike and showed us some pretty awesome sites Id like to stay at in the future.  They are on a progressive price, meaning depending on the site is what your price will be.

    The canvas tent option was one I didn’t know about until I got there.  The tents are cabin shaped and have a few chairs and BBQ grill outside it.  Great option for families.

    The park also offers a cottage right next to the lake.  This is a nice alternative to traditional camping.  One thing that was great about the park was the various kitchens around the grounds.  This offers a great way for larger groups to have a set space for meals.

    Elkamp Eastcreek

    Clean, beautiful

    Well maintained campground, full hookups and tent sites available. Sites fairly large & private with tons of old trees and right next to a creek. Bathrooms clean. Fire pits and firewood available from hosts. Easy access to Rainier NP. Hosts super nice. Only thing that would make this place better is more substantial picnic tables which were new but kind of rickety. Would camp here again.

    Seaquest State Park Campground

    Regular campsites and yurts - YES; RV spots - NO!!!

    I love Seaquest for their beautiful campsites and the proximity to a wonderful forest to bathe in. But don't go for the RV sites, which are laid out in a parking lot setting with no real distance from neighbors and not surrounded by trees. Unless that's your jam. It was definitely not ours, tent camping alongside some friends with a trailer who liked nothing more than to hang out at said trailer, and walk through the campground to look at other.. trailers. I don't think they even stepped foot in the 7+ miles of forest trails which is a few steps away. If you can step away from the hookups and get a real campsite off the RV pad, it is a stunning experience. Each site is surrounded by trees, creating privacy and serenity.  Another great option is the yurts. We stayed in Yurt 2 (the only pet friendly yurt) and loved it. 

    For those with RV's, trailers, campers - look into the regular sites because I think some of them even have hookups and can accommodate most sizes. Just steer clear of RV sites T1-T16.

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Nice place

    Beautiful spot, though tightly packed and crowded/noisy. We stayed in spot 59 on a Saturday night. It was rainy and the fire pit area had plenty of puddles. Lots of folks came in later in the evening with multiple cars and sat out talking; plenty of them packed up and left before 8 am. We walked the fen trail, which was spooky and different from our home of Colorado! Reservations needed. There are also glamping cabins. Nice clean bathrooms with flush toilets, water available at multiple locations, showers available with tokens.


Guide to Onalaska

Cabin rentals near Onalaska, Washington provide direct lake access with many locations open beyond summer months. These accommodations balance convenience with rustic camping elements while maintaining separation from other visitors. Sites typically offer both private wooded settings and waterfront locations, creating flexible options for different preferences.

What to do

Water activities at Mayfield Lake Park: Visitors can directly access swimming and boating from lakefront sites. "Had an amazing time as always. Bring your kayak, paddle board or boat. The water is awesome. Fishing is good for trout out on the water," notes Eric P. from Mayfield Lake Park.

Fishing in stocked ponds: Thousand Trails Paradise features dedicated fishing areas suitable for all skill levels. "My grandson loves coming here with us the two ponds they stock with fish," shares John O. The campground provides multiple fishing locations within walking distance of cabin accommodations.

Hiking on forest trails: Seaquest State Park connects to numerous paths through dense forest areas. "There are tons of trees reminiscent of Endor and tons of places to hike. Trail entrances are clearly marked," reports Mary C. A tunnel passes under the highway for safe access to the visitor center.

What campers like

Quiet evenings in forest settings: Ike Kinswa State Park cabins offer peaceful surroundings with minimal disruption. "It was very quiet at night, which was fantastic! Very good Verizon cell service," explains Christina F. The heavily wooded environment creates natural sound barriers between sites.

Access to clean facilities: Elkamp Eastcreek maintains high standards for comfort. "Elkamp was very clean with the nicest campground bathrooms we have ever experienced. The shower is coin-operated so bring quarters if you wish to use," advises Shannon H. Dedicated dish washing stations and potable water are located throughout the grounds.

Swimming areas for families: Millersylvania State Park features lake access with designated swimming zones. "The beach is the main attraction and it is hopping. We went early in the morning and staked a claim and were happy all day. There is a nice shallow area and two large swimming areas as well as a fishing dock," observes Ellen T.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Booking well in advance is essential, particularly for waterfront cabins. "The biggest downfall is that this place books up so fast. Make reservations early," recommends Rick S. from Ike Kinswa State Park.

Site leveling challenges: Some locations require additional equipment for comfortable setup. "Horrifically unlevel to the worst degree, front back side to side, every space is HORRID. If you have auto levelers, you'll have an easier time but still rough," warns Shannon R. about Thousand Trails Paradise.

Seasonal water level changes: Late summer visits may require longer walks to water access points. "We went in the late summer so the river was extremely low making the walk to get the the water very long and a little precarious," notes Lucy from Riffe Lake Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Junior Ranger programs: Seaquest State Park offers organized activities for children during peak season. "At night the campground had a great Junior Ranger program with a very enthusiastic park ranger that kept the almost 50 people/kids entertained," shares Ashley B.

Playgrounds near cabins: Millersylvania State Park provides dedicated play areas. "This park is huge! Lots of space to hang out and swim. There's always kids running around so it is great for young ones," explains Bree G.

Morning fishing trips: Scheduling early fishing sessions helps avoid crowds at popular spots. "Kids are helping review campgrounds we visited this summer. They loved that there was scavenger hunts for pigs in morning, tractor rides in afternoon, face painting, slushees, movie in lodge, crafts," describes Nicole R. from Thousand Trails Chehalis.

Tips from RVers

Power stability concerns: Check with staff about electrical service reliability at your specific site. "We ended up running on our battery and generator for the last two days we were there because it was so dangerous to plug in," cautions Marnie G. about fluctuating voltage levels.

Site selection strategy: Riffe Lake Campground offers varied options for different needs. "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," explains Kevin W. Some locations provide better cell service than others.

Boat accommodations: Harmony Lakeside offers dedicated boat slips adjacent to cabin sites. "Sites are close together but if you know that going in, it's a great place. Slips for your boat is a huge plus," notes Brian S. from Harmony Lakeside RV Park.
