    Dosewallips State Park, only 60 miles north of Olympia, is the eastern gateway to the Olympic Peninsula. The region is made up of forests, mountains, rivers, beaches and deltas – and surrounded by sound and sea. This freshwater/saltwater park makes a perfect day or weekend trip. It can also serve as a base from which to explore the historic forts and charming small towns to the north, or the first night on a grand road trip around the peninsula.

    The park's moss-carpeted forest and glacial river slope down to a shell-strewn delta on Hood Canal, a delight for clam-diggers, anglers, boaters, birders and beach explorers. The park features riverside campsites, cabins and five-person platform tents.

    Guests may share space with the local elk herds that wander through camp. (Stay back 100 feet, and never offer food.) Bald eagles have been seen on the beach and great blue herons flock to the river.

    The evening may find you grilling up a shellfish dinner and retiring to your cabin or tent, where you'll fall asleep to the sound of the river, enchanted by this lush, green corner of the country.

    PARK FEATURES Dosewallips State Park is a 1,064-acre, year-round camping park with 5 miles of shoreline on Hood Canal and the Dosewallips River. All camp areas are grassy and located in scenic, rustic settings.

    All campsites are on the reservation system. The campground has 37 tent spaces, 58 utility sites, twelve cabins, one dump station, four restrooms (one ADA), and two showers (one ADA). Maximum site length is 40 feet (limited availability). During winter months (November 15 through March 1), the campground is winterized and only sites 21-29 have water. Winter water supply is still available.

    Step into U.S. military history at Fort Flagler Historical State Park on the northern tip of Marrowstone Island. Tour and explore a significant coastal defense fort established more than a century ago to guard the entrance to Puget Sound. Built in the late 1890s and manned during World War I, World War II and the Korean War, Fort Flagler now features a military museum and gift shop. The park offers guided tours of the gun emplacements and other facilities during the summer. Or find the batteries on your own and wander through them at leisure. Fort Flagler activities include hiking, boating, kite-flying, beach exploration, saltwater fishing, clam digging and crabbing. Experienced paragliders can bring their wings and ride thermals up to stupendous aerial views. Group camps Hoskins, Richmond and Wilson are available for retreats of up to 250 people, and historic officers' vacation houses can be booked for group gatherings and romantic getaways. Beachfront tent and RV sites boast some of the best views in the region. So gaze out on the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north, the Olympic Peninsula to the west and Whidbey Island to the east, and breathe deep of the ocean air. The group of forts once known as the "Triangle of Fire" (made up of Fort Flagler, Fort Worden and Fort Casey) is a must-see for military, armament and maritime enthusiasts. Fort Flagler's off-the-beaten track location and its wide, manicured former parade lawns make it a winning destination.

    Campsites are popular and fill quickly year-round. Reservations are highly recommended.

    Millersylvania State Park offers fun for everyone. Spend a summer day splashing in Deep Lake. Gather with friends in an historic kitchen shelter.

    Conveniently located between Olympia and Centralia, this large, well-visited park beckons to adults and children alike.

    Many of the park structures, including the kitchen shelters, were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s, making the park a great place to see and admire the hallmark artisanship of that era.

    With two swimming beaches, miles of forested hiking and biking trails, watercraft launches, non-motorized watercraft rentals (kayaks, paddleboards, pedal boats) and abundant fishing, Millersylvania will keep you busy for a satisfying weekend or an extended outdoor vacation.

    Nestled on the shores of the Hood Canal surrounded by towering trees, is a perfect getaway called Glen Ayr. BBQs, fire pits, a small general store, shower and laundry facilities, and an exclusive, large over water deck are just some of the amenities our guests get to enjoy. Grab a creekside spot, or a forest side spot, and take a deep breath. Then go explore Staircase on a hike, dig for oysters, swim in the canal, or hang with friends.

    Whatever your mission is, we’re here to help you say “mission accomplish.”

    Great spot and quite park

    Definitely a nice area to Visit for our first time. Quite and the ferry comes right past the camp ground. Ferry doesn’t blast its horn unless there is a boat in the ferry path. Definitely worth to check out and check out the fort. Showers and nice very clean park.

    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.

    Do not tent here.

    Tenting areas are 10-15 feet from the road, so very noisy all night long. The road is 35mph, so it’s noisy.

    Otherwise everything was nice. Plenty of amenities - showers, pools, hot tub, mini golf etc. staff were friendly as well.

    Staying in an RV would be okay as they are further away from the road. It’s just unfortunate that the tenting spots (8-10 tents max) is so close to the road. It’s close enough that my tent would rustle with each car moving past.

    I was fortunate enough to get the only flat tent space - all other tent sites are on a gentle lean.

    Summary: nice spot, but don’t rent here. I would give it a 4 star review if I were staying in an RV, but need to put the warning out for others who tent

    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 Campground

    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.

    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.

    Olympic Peninsula-Port Angeles KOA

    One of the better KOA's I've seen

    We usually travel with a pop-up camper and tend to prefer USFS campgrounds or dispersed camping. But we are currently travelling in a rented 30' RV during a holiday week, so we decided to give this KOA a try.

    I was pleasantly surprised! We stayed in site 130 for 2 nights, and it was quiet and peaceful, despite the proximity to hwy 101. We arrived late at night and had no problem getting checked in and finding our assigned spot. We opted for a site with electric and water hookups. It had a picnic table and a fire ring, but we didn't get a chance to use them because we were constantly on the go. Our site was $63.99/night.

    They have Wifi, which was a nice feature that we weren't expecting. There is a picnic pavilion, horseshoes, tetherball, a swimming pool, a playground, a game room, and these really cool looking big wheel things that you can rent for $5/30 minutes. There is also a nice little general store that offers most things a camper could need. The folks who work there are very friendly and helpful. They offer free showers and a sink with hot water for washing dishes also. There is a large laundry room, but we didn't use it. We refilled on water and propane and we used their dump station before we left.

    Overall, this KOA was clean and quiet and offered many amenities. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for "camping" with all the luxuries of home.

    Nice and Popular!

    This is the ultimate family campground. Kids and families on bikes everywhere, amphitheater, trails, water, grass fields, the works. The spots along the road are subject to highway noise, it does die down at night, but starts early. (If you live on a busy street, you won’t notice!) There are quieter tent sites in the back, but also what looks like a group camp. Staff was super friendly. Probably need to reserve far in advance, we reserved 3 weeks out and got the last spot. Not everything was open though, still clean-up from winter going on. Online reservation system worked perfectly and was intuitive. Had a few bars of ATT. Did not investigate WiFi. Beautiful park!

    Good Enough

    A nice enough little spot near where we needed to be. Day trip to NE section of Olympic NP was doable. Day trip to Seattle would probably be doable as well. Nice area and small towns with good food and atmosphere. Park is small and sites are very close together. Modern sites are in the open right next to each other. Rustic sites are very shaded but still close together and gets load on weekends when it's full.

    Facilities: Showers and bathrooms were nice, individual rooms for each bathroom and shower, most are code locked to prevent day use people hogging them

    Cell Service: Good enough Verizon and T-mobile to work remotely

    Starlink: While we didn't need to use it, the rustic (non-elec) sites are extremely shaded so no clear view for the dish; some modern sites would maybe work

    Solar: Our site had a SW facing opening so we were able to grab some solar, but most other rustic sites are very shaded with very little to no sun; modern sites are open to the sky but solar is not needed there with an electric site

    We arrived without a reservation and were happy that the office was still open at 7pm on a Sunday. The staff was super friendly and we got a really nice spot in the area that has WiFi.

    Our main TT

    We love Tall Chief because it is super close to a lot of great spots around the Seattle region.

    It’s super close (like 7 min drive) from one of my favorite coffee shops, Aroma Coffee Co. Try it! You won’t be disappointed!

    Tall Chief’s biggest perk is probably how nice they keep the park. Bathrooms are usually found to be immaculate. The main bathrooms have a great “spa” feeling to their design and make you feel like you are glamping.

    Most sites are pretty big too. We can easily fit our trailer, tow vehicle, and extra vehicle and still have space!

    No sewer connections which can be a bummer, but the nice bathrooms make up for it imo.

    The staff are always super nice and helpful.

    Another thing that can be annoying is trying to find a site with good cell reception due to all the trees. They definitely have a few, but I would say arrive early so you can drive by all the sites while checking to make sure you have good reception if you need it.

    I’m getting 120+ mbs download on AT&T in my site right now, but several sites down from me, it can dwindle down to 5mbs!

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Old Growth Forest near Olympia, Washington!

    Just 20 minutes south of Olympia, WA you can pull off I-5 and pitch a tent beneath towering old growth Douglas Fir and Hemlock trees. This stunning state park reminds us both of the kinds of campgrounds we frequented as kids. 

    Most of the campsites in the forest loops are small with limited parking and the narrow roads would not serve larger camper rigs. Our little 15 foot travel trailer made it in without any problem. The feeling of camping under the old-growth canopy is so classic Washington, but the solar gain is pretty minimal. Ironically, the electrical hookup sites, which more easily accommodate the big rigs, are out in a more cleared area where there would be solar gain for days. 

    We camped on the closest loop to the full-hook up RV area and were able to get our solar suitcase out into the sunshine on its extension cord for a few hours. The bathrooms in the forest loops are pretty simple ranging from pit toilets to flush varieties with showers. There is a more modern bathroom facility with nicely clean and refreshing showers near the larger RV field. Things to do in this park are abundant. The water is super chill, shallow and warm. 

    Only “cartop boats” are allowed in the lake, making it ideal for stand up paddle boards, small kayaking boats, inflatables, canoes, fishing dinghies and just swimming around.  Lightening storms in this part of the world are pretty rare, so very fun to see one over the lake while we were here.  The lake shore has some classic picnic shelters, built by the CCC, that are reservable, offer wood burning stoves, and lots of places to cook for a family get together. 

    Hiking and trailing running in the park is wonderful, and with all the loops your efforts can range from 30 min strolls to half-day hikes. The trails are well mapped, and signed making it nearly impossible to get lost. 

    Tumwater is about 10 miles away on country roads to the north, and Grand Mound is 10 or so miles to the south. Either of these communities provide the usual suburban supplies for groceries and restaurants. There are also some nearby convenience and general stores where you could pick up some ice and such. During the summer months the park has a small cafe and ice cream shop.

    Clean sites, as advertised. Sites are dirt, so can get a little muddy in the wet season. Friendly staff - stayed over Thanksgiving, and were able to accommodate our check in, which was nice to find a campground actually open. Verizon and T-Mobile have relatively weak signal. Convenient location to Hoodsport and the National Forest/Park. Tolerable road noise.

    Beautiful Year Round Campsite

    Beautiful state park with the lower campsite open year round, with full hook up sites. Offered on a first come first serve basis over the winter months. During the summer months reservations are required.

    Extremely helpful when roadtriping to find campsites. One key note I've found. Just because a campsite is on the map doesn't mean it's open. I've learned that the hard way many times now. Dyrt makes it very easy to go to the campsites website and check for availability.

    Easy to pay and very clean bathrooms. It was very windy and rainy the night I stayed. I slept in the back of my old 4Runner and it felt like I was on a boat at times from the rocking of the car in the wind

    Tall Chief Campground

    Camping in a forest

    This is a big park that is part of Thousand Trails.  No sales pitch to join, which was nice.  Rangers were super nice.  Bathrooms very new and clean.  Lots of trees between sites.  Hard to find one in the sun if that is what you are looking for.  Looked like lots of long term campers.  Very quiet.  We enjoyed see the surrounding area - Beaver Lake Park, Carnation, Fall City.  Didn't make it to Snoqualmie Falls, maybe next time.
