Millersylvania State Park and Seaquest State Park house some of the region's finest glamping accommodations, featuring safari-style canvas tents and yurts within forested settings near Onalaska. The permanent canvas tents at Millersylvania provide a luxury camping experience with comfortable beds, electricity, and rustic furnishings while maintaining proximity to nature. One guest shared, "The 'Glamping tents' are very nice but crazy expensive at over $300 a night." Seaquest offers yurt accommodations with similar amenities plus the advantage of being situated near Mount St. Helens. These eco-friendly glamping options balance outdoor immersion with modern comforts, creating an accessible wilderness experience without sacrificing essential amenities. Both parks maintain well-kept facilities including clean bathrooms with hot showers, making these glamping sites suitable for those seeking more comfortable alternatives to traditional camping.
Nearby Mount St. Helens provides a spectacular backdrop for glamping adventures, with several parks offering direct access to hiking trails, wildlife viewing areas, and water recreation. The glamping accommodations at Seaquest State Park connect directly to nature trails leading to the Mount St. Helens Visitor Center through an underground tunnel beneath the highway. A recent visitor mentioned, "The campground also has glamping available (canvas permanent tents) that looked cool." During summer months, these luxury camping sites fill quickly, with reservations recommended well in advance, particularly for the safari tents at Millersylvania which provide the most privacy and comfort. Most glamping options in this region operate seasonally from April through October, though some yurts at Seaquest remain available year-round with heating systems for cooler weather comfort.

Beautiful spot, lots of great spots for tents, rvs and travel trailers. Loved that there was plenty of space between campsites. Would spend multiple nights here!

ScoutNisqually Plaza RV Park
First off you get what you pay for it's cheap but you're packed like sardines in a gravel lot that looks trashy as hell I didn't go in the restrooms because they don't have stuff there till after 6:00 p.m. so I was terrified by how disgusting they might be on top of it the owner is quite possibly the rudest most inconsiderate and unempathetic human I've ever encountered he gaslit the hell out of me he insulted my intelligence he lied about our conversations that place is so shady there's no checking or check out time written on their forms they will just make up a time that seems appropriate and then if you don't respond and how they like they'll tell you that you have to leave I thought it was just me but after moving to a beautiful Campground I talked to two out of their individuals that told me that they basically told him to F off and they would find somewhere else really horrible business practices and his sister is just as rude as he is trashy place with Shady practices and Shady people running it. Also if you're one that noise bothers you you will hate this because it's right on the highway and you can hear everything from every spot in the park. Especially if you're looking for nightly you can go down the street to the one they recommended and pay $18 less a night for way more beautiful place

Great spot
Clean bathrooms, free showers, beautiful sites, and very friendly hosts. I had spotty signal but internet was available for free. Well worth the cost.

Decent campground....Ideal location for visiting Mt St Helens....clean, safe, secure.....only issue is locating shower house etc...we ended up using the RV for our needs....full hookups...reasonably priced....easy late evening check in however they should do an upgrade to their campground maps they hand out with check in package...Super tiny print...difficult to read....Checked in after dark which was also challenging due to the tiny print on the map....All in all a decent campground

Skamokawa Vista Park
Quiet, clean
Nice stopover on the road.
Alex R.GuideMossyrock Park
I’m not sure how to feel
This park has so much potential. Sites are a decent size with OK spacing, no site has sewer and the line at the dump site gets pretty long on the weekends so plan accordingly. There’s is no true access point to the lake but many walking trails from other campers. No, designated swim area if you are into that sort of stuff. A place where this park shines is the park for kids, it’s well kept (as long as campers pick up after their kids). Bathrooms were a little messy but again, this is mostly due to campers….
This park is pretty big but easy to get around. We stayed at main campground B and it has a lot of sites that are mostly in shade. They have a lot of trees but none messed with backing up or trailer height issues. Overall I don’t think I would book here again unless I needed a last minute spot.

Olympia Campground
Very quiet and great people!
I stayed there for one night on my way back to Seattle, and it was perfect for what I needed. Very quiet back there. The people were all super nice and accommodating. They had a dump site, restrooms outside and heated restrooms attached to the office area. I really loved that two of the permanent residents would do security at night as well. Being a woman and traveling alone, that made me feel very safe. Highly recommend this place!
Guide to Onalaska
Camping options near Onalaska, Washington extend beyond the glamping accommodations at state parks, with sites scattered across the region's diverse landscapes. The area sits at elevations ranging from 400-700 feet and receives approximately 45-55 inches of rainfall annually, creating lush forest environments. Many campgrounds in this region remain open year-round, though some trails and facilities close during winter months when temperatures can drop below freezing.
What to do
Water recreation at Alder Lake Park: Located just north of Onalaska, this campground offers extensive lake access with designated swimming areas and boat launches. "The water is that beautiful blue/green glacier water color," notes Nicole P., who appreciates the sandy beach that's open for both campers and day-use visitors. The park includes hiking trails that wind through the surrounding forest.
Old growth forest exploration: Lewis & Clark State Park features walking paths through preserved old-growth cedar forest. "This campground is on the other side of the highway and deeper into the forest and very beautiful," explains Theresa R. The trails provide a glimpse into the region's historic ecosystems with interpretive signage along some routes.
Fishing opportunities: Winston Creek Campground provides access to stream fishing in a quieter setting. "It was very relaxing and the extremely hot weather we had it was nice to have the shaded stream to cool off in," shares Allen D. The area also offers opportunities for rock collecting, as Allen notes they found "a bunch of petried wood and agates."
Mt. St. Helens exploration: Multiple campgrounds serve as base camps for exploring the volcano. "If you want to see Spirit Lake etc, you will want to camp closer to the mountain. From Sequest State Park, it was a 10 hour day to do the loop in order to see the east side," advises Carol. The various visitor centers provide different perspectives of the mountain and eruption impacts.
What campers like
Private camping spaces: Ike Kinswa State Park gets high marks for site layout. "Most of the sites are pretty private Many with power and water," says Rick S., who ranks it as his favorite Washington State Park. Another camper, Caitlyn R., confirms this assessment: "Large sites that are pretty private. Lots of shade and trees."
Lake views and access: Campers consistently mention the waterfront sites at Mossyrock Park as a highlight. "We stayed in the north side of the Main campground which was great because we had tons of extra space and were backed up right to beach access," writes Perla H., though she notes the beach is "pretty rocky, not ideal for just playing in, but great for SUP or boat access."
Clean facilities: Elkamp Eastcreek receives praise for maintenance standards. "Bathrooms, dish area and showers were super clean and the assorted port a potty's were also well maintained," reports Jae M. Sarah Claire B. adds, "The campsites are pretty private and there's specific spots for your tent that has an extra layer of mulch underneath for cushioning."
Family-friendly amenities: Multiple campgrounds feature playgrounds and designated swimming areas. At Seaquest State Park, Mary C. notes, "My kids loved the addition of a playground. Many parks dont have this and it kept them entertained for hours." The park also hosts junior ranger programs during summer that Mary describes as having "a very enthusiastic park ranger that kept the almost 50 people/kids entertained."
