"After flying into SeaTac late in the afternoon this campground was a great place to start our Washington trip and only about 30 minutes from the airport."
"This campsite was awesome, we far enough away from other campers so it was still peaceful, you did not feel like you were on top of other campers. The fire pit was nice and had a grill."

TravelerNice 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.
TravelerSpacious spots by a scenic lake. Can accommodate just about any size rig, plenty of sites for both tents and rvs.
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
ScoutI wanted to like this campground, but I wouldn’t stay here again for more than maybe one night.
There are signs EVERYWHERE warning about theft, which immediately tells you something about the area. I didn’t have anything stolen, but I was extremely careful about what I left out.
The biggest problem is that you’re basically on your own after hours. There is no campground host, no posted after-hours ranger number, and no non-emergency number at the campground or through the park’s phone system. The staff hours also seem very limited and inconsistent. I arrived around 6:30 PM and nobody was there, and staff didn’t seem to return until around 9–10 AM.
The bathrooms were dirty, out of toilet paper, and the showers were cold. One morning there was a large unleashed dog in the women’s bathroom that growled at me while its owner was showering. I believe she may have been homeless and using the facilities. Again, there was nobody around to contact about it.
Another night, people were extremely loud until almost midnight. Same problem: no host, no ranger and no non-emergency number. Unless something is serious enough for 911, you’re left to deal with it yourself.
There are also a lot of homeless people and visible drug addicts/drug activity around Federal Way. I had been warned about the area before coming here, and I understand why.
The park itself is pretty and might be fine for a quick overnight stay, but for multiple nights, I wouldn’t recommend it. Between the theft warnings, lack of after-hours staff, weird staffing hours, and no way to report non-emergency problems, I never really felt comfortable settling into my campsite.
GuideWe spent one night here. Short walk to the riverside.
TravelerI like this park. Beautiful views. Very pleasant and clean. Right next to I-90, easy on and off. Though the highway sounds are a constant. Periodic trains from the other side of the lake (though I find this a positive). Full hook up spots. Can accommodate larger rigs, but a few spots are a little tight to get into. Also a very good hamburger spot near by.
TravelerI 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!
GuideQuiet, but we were here mid week in late August….
LegendWe stayed here for a short overnight as we made our way up the Olympic Peninsula to Port Townsend. Nice park with a some trails right from the campground. We enjoyed the Maple Valley loop. There are elk at Dosewallips but we didn’t see any. Some road noise from our site (21) and heard a low-flying helicopter in the morning. Shower water pressure was a bit low and the water not hot enough.
Yurt and cabin accommodations near Pacific, Washington offer access to forests, rivers, and lakes while maintaining essential comforts. Located in the Puget Sound region, these camping options range from waterfront sites to secluded forest retreats. Most sites operate year-round with peak season running May through September when temperatures average 65-75°F during daytime hours.
Hiking from camp: Elkamp Eastcreek features trails directly from the campground, creating convenient outdoor access. "There's a meadow over the bridge that is a hidden delight. Constant attention to the grounds regularly. Exquisite!" notes Amanda M. who appreciated the well-maintained natural spaces.
River activities: Kanaskat-Palmer State Park offers river access for fishing, kayaking, and wading. "Short hike to river spots that are perfect for wading or fishing. 10 minute drive from Deep Lake which is beautiful and great for swimming and paddle boarding," reports Ashlie M., highlighting the variety of water recreation available.
Lake swimming: For families seeking water recreation, Dash Point State Park provides beach access with several water features. "Really cute camp spot and play area!! Pet friendly and dog park! Went here on our trip to Tacoma north of the city. Very nice beach and area!!" according to Carla S.
Clean facilities: Many visitors highlight the cleanliness of accommodations as a top feature. At Elkamp Eastcreek, campers frequently mention exceptional maintenance. "This campground is remarkable in the privacy between each of the camping spots, the bird life, the wild and deep forest vibes, and the walking trails. The washroom and shower is kept clean, as is the rest of the campground," writes Brittany D.
Privacy between sites: Campers appreciate the space between accommodations at many parks. "I was impressed by how spread apart the sites were, I think they could have fit another in between each of them!" notes Katie S. about Dash Point State Park, which offers a sense of seclusion despite being near urban areas.
Water views: Vasa Park Resort receives praise for its lakefront location. "We loved the Vasa Park Resort. We stayed here while visiting my brother in Seattle and had so much fun. We roasted hotdogs and s'mores over the camp fire and our dog loved swimming in the lake," shares Amy H.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially for yurt accommodations. Spaces at Tolt MacDonald Park fill quickly during summer weekends and festival periods.
Park ranger presence: Some parks maintain strict noise and conduct policies. "This campground is heavily patrolled by the park rangers. I usually have contact with them in my campsite at least twice a day. I have been asked by the park rangers at 10:01 p.m. to be quiet as myself and three 9-year-old girls were talking too loud," explains Kelly P. about Kanaskat-Palmer State Park.
Airport noise: Certain locations experience regular aircraft noise. At Saltwater State Park, Travis P. warns, "Commercial jets landing at Sea-Tac fly directly above us at a low altitude and are VERY loud and VERY frequent (every 3-5 minutes), so if you don't mind the noise, or LOVE airplanes (like we do), this is an Awesome campground!!!"
Shower facilities: Shower availability varies between parks. Some require tokens or quarters, while others provide free amenities. "Showers are older but clean. Need to buy tokens for the shower," notes Kate B. about Dash Point State Park.
Playground access: Some campgrounds offer play areas for children. Camp Lakeview provides multiple recreation options according to Julia B.: "There is a playground next to a volleyball court and basketball court. A small beach with a large dock was available for use during the day as well as a boat launch and fishing dock."
Swimming options: Safe swimming areas rank high for families with children. "Dash Point State Park Campground was beautiful! There's a day use lake and we had a wonderful time camping here!" mentions Brittany L., highlighting water recreation for families.
Bathroom proximity: When camping with small children, choose sites near facilities. Camp Lakeview offers tent sites with convenient bathroom access. "We stayed at site number C10 A in our tent with our children. It was a larger site that sits next to the small creek. The bath house isn't too far and was usually well stocked and clean," notes Julia B.
Power limitations: Not all parks offer full hookups or 50-amp service. "The sites are not reservable. There was no park staff on-site when we arrived at mid-day during the week. Alcohol is prohibited in both the campground and the day use area," reports Lee D. about Saltwater State Park.
Leveling requirements: Some campgrounds have uneven sites. "We went here in October and dry camped with our 30' Motorhome so not the typical experience others would have in a true RV site. I only took away a star because it was advertised as ok for a Motorhome but the gravel pull through was so not level the jacks pushed the front tires 6 inches off the ground," explains Cody F. about his Kanaskat-Palmer State Park experience.
Dump station access: Many parks offer dump stations, but availability and fees vary. At Tall Chief Campground, Derek & Alex W. note: "I do have to knock a star for the fact no sites have sewer hookups. This is fairly understandable though as it appeared that a service needs to pump the septic tank by the dump station for the entire park."
