15 campgrounds with availability next weekend
South Prairie Creek RV Park accommodates pets across its well-maintained riverside grounds with full hookup sites for both tent and RV camping. Pets must remain leashed throughout the property, with designated walking areas along the adjacent creek trail. Camp Lakeview permits pets at most campsites with restrictions that include no off-leash areas and standard cleanup requirements. The campground provides water access with fishing and swimming docks where leashed pets can accompany owners, though animals are not permitted in the lake itself. Game Farm Wilderness Campground offers 18 pet-friendly sites with water and electric hookups, fire pits, and picnic tables in a natural setting along the Stuck River. Staff is generally friendly and helpful, with the grounds kept clean for both human and animal guests.
Trails surrounding these campgrounds provide excellent opportunities for dog walking, particularly along South Prairie Creek's pathways which follow the water's edge. Pet owners should be aware that while most facilities have water available, designated pet waste stations may be limited or unavailable, requiring campers to bring their own disposal supplies. The area experiences busy summer weekends when pet-friendly campsites fill quickly, making advance reservations essential during peak season from May through September. Weather considerations include hot summer days when shaded sites become premium for pet comfort. Nearby veterinary services can be found in Auburn and Enumclaw for emergency situations, approximately 15-20 minutes from most campgrounds. Winter camping remains available at several locations, though facilities like bathhouses may operate with limited hours during off-season months.

ScoutThis place covers your basics. Electric and water hookup, tight parking with neighbors less than 1ft away on both sides. The rating I gave is mostly a reflection of the staff though. The staff were not friendly, seemed annoyed that I was booking with them and provided incorrect information on how to park/setup so I had to turn my 33ft rig around 3 times in these very narrow driveways.
RangerWe were in site 29 in the Riverside loop. What a beautiful campground! We were humbled being surrounded by such stately old trees. Made us sad to learn the much advertised Big Fir (still with a sign in camp) had in fact been taken down 11 years ago. Still an impressive sight to see how massive it was. We REALLY enjoyed the John Muir trail, it was like being in another world. Our trees in Michigan don't seem nearly as huge anymore ;-) At first we were disappointed we couldn't camp inside Mt. Rainier. Now we know how lucky we were to be at the Dalles.
ScoutNo 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..
RangerI essentially drove as far as I could into the forest and fount a cut off that absolutely was not well maintained but I managed to get my car through and my goodness was it worth it! A bit of trash left behind but other than that this was probably top 3 of the over 25 sites I stayed at over the past several weeks. I even had a little bit of service (Verizon) You do need a discover pass - so technically not free. No amentities but there was a rock fire pit that had been well used. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to find this spot again, but I’ll try and try.
GuideNice 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.
ScoutThis 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.
TravelerSpacious spots by a scenic lake. Can accommodate just about any size rig, plenty of sites for both tents and rvs.
TravelerBeautiful 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!
ScoutFirst 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
