    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Nice State Park with Plenty to Do. Lake, Hiking, Store.

    This is a very nice, typical Washington state park with plenty of trees, greenery, hiking, pathways and even a lake. There's a camp store along with several large outdoor kitchens that would be good to use for groups. Many of the structures like the kitchens and even bathrooms were built back in the 1930s by the CCC, which is pretty cool. It's just far enough off I-5 to not have the freeway noise, but close enough to be convenient. It's also nearby to Great Wolf Lodge if you're looking for a place to stay near there.

    On the other hand, the RV sites especially are basically in a big field with a cement road going around it. The sites have tables and fire pits, but no privacy what-so-ever. The tent sites are slightly better, with more trees, but still very close to one another.

    The campground also has glamping available (canvas permanent tents) that looked cool.

    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.

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    A close get away

    I have camped here a number of times over the years. This is a nice woodsy campground just south of Olympia, WA located on Deep lake. It has a very old growth forest feel to it. This campground offers many activities: hiking trails, fitness trails,fishing, boat rental, and even a concession stand. The fishing is good for trout,bass, and sun fish. This park offers both hookup and non utility tent sites as well as glamping tents.

    Cons: most of the hookup sites are in a field with zero privacy but there are a few that are much better like the last spot I stayed at.

    The primitive sites are better but the roads are quite narrow with limited access for RV's.

    The "Glamping tents"are very nice but crazy expensive at over $300 a night. Like most of the State Parks reservations book up quickly so it pays to plan ahead

    Pros: fishing is pretty good even from shore. The day use area is great but pretty rustic. Lots of trails to hike but not as well marked as I would expect. Really close to Seattle so it is ideal for a weekend getaway Friday after work.

    Dosewallips State Park Campground

    Fun, busy campground

    There is a river and salmon climb it to spawn in October I believe. Very cool to see. Campground is large, with about 20% of camp sites have good privacy. Walking distance to a gas station for supplies. Clean bathrooms with running water.

    Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

    Great group camp site!

    The group site set apart from the rest of the camping, so you can really enjoy the space without feeling like you are bothering the other campers. There's lots of space for tents plus some wooden bunks in a wooden shelter, a nice option for people new to camping who don't have a tent, but I'd be afraid of spiders! :O Site is adjacent to a river access, which I did not get a chance to check out myself, but being near water is always a plus to me.

    The campgrounds are about an our of of Seattle, so it's a really nice low-commitment option for those residing in the greater Seattle area. Despite being so close, it doesnt feel very populated or anything like that, nice and woodsy still! :)

    The only drawback to the group site is occasionally you'll get a random person wandering through to access the water.

    I wouldn't suggest going so late in the year unless you are prepared for rain, it poured on us most of the stay, but we still managed to have fun. Luckily there is a large covered dining area so it's survivable in rain

    Camp Lakeview

    Great spot

    This campground has super friendly staff, decent bathrooms and showers, laundry facility, access to a lake, fishing is welcome, swimming allowed, great playground for kids, allows pets, has a small store in the office with some essentials if you forget something. It is about a 1 Hour drive to the entrance of Mount Rainier National Park.

    Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

    Our favorite camping close to home

    We love coming here. It's close proximity to our house allows us to hook up the trailer after work and include a Friday night in our camping weekend! The availability seems pretty good too, especially in Spring when some campgrounds are not quite open yet.

    This campground has great clean and heated bathrooms. Sites and roads are paved. Hook ups are electric only, bring your water. The first time we went we did not know and our Basecamp's heat runs via the hot water heater. It was cold! The sites are large and pretty private. We have stayed in site 42 which is a back in spot with fire pit and table above the back of the pad. Also, we have enjoyed site 38, a pull through that gave us nice wooded views and privacy.

    The campground loop is a nice walk or cruise on a bike. There is easy access to a beautiful stretch of the Green River, with picnicking areas and walking trails. You might catch a kayaker in the river, I hear this stretch take a lot of skill!

    Choose your Adventure

    This place had it all; open RV camping, secluded van camping, tree canopy car/tent camping, walk-in camping, and themed safari tent camping, and one cute mini airstream. 

    Lake down the road. Water and electrical hookups, dump station with dump water and fresh water. 

    Restrooms and showers are scattered around. Showers are coin based and there is a machine to turn your dollars into coins.

    Dash Point State Park Campground

    Easily accessible escape from the city life!

    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. Located within the Dash Point State Park, there are day use facilities in addition to the campground including an ampitheatre, beach access and lots of hiking trails. The campground itself is well appointed with spacious spots, although the sites aren't huge, they are wooded enough to provide decent privacy. Our site (#21) was right across from a trailhead that led down to the beach which made for a great sunset watching location, I would definitely recommend reserving a spot on the lower loop by the beach trail. The site has a paved parking pad, flat spots for a tent, a picnic table and a fire pit with a grill top. The bathrooms are easily accessed by wooded trails and kept quite clean. Even visiting during the middle of the high season the campground didn't feel crowded. Although unfortunately there was a bit of trash by the beach, the campground was quite clean altogether and I would definitely stay here again.


Guide to Puyallup

Glamping sites near Puyallup, Washington range in elevation from 400 to 1,000 feet across the region's varied terrain. Most locations experience mild summers with average temperatures of 75-85°F and cool, wet winters typical of the Pacific Northwest. Sites throughout the area typically require reservations 2-3 months in advance during peak summer season, with availability expanding significantly during fall and spring months.

What to Do

River activities: Kanaskat-Palmer State Park offers access to the Green River with calmer eddy pools suitable for 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," writes Ashlie M. The riverfront trails provide multiple access points, though some visitors note the main current can be strong.

Beach exploration: Dash Point State Park Campground provides both forest and beach environments within a single location. "The beach and its tides are why we came," shares Ingrid M. The shoreline features rocky, muddy terrain rather than sand, making it ideal for tide pool exploration and rock skipping rather than traditional beach activities.

Trail systems: Elkamp Eastcreek connects to an extensive network of trails. "The meadow over the bridge is a hidden delight," notes Amanda M. Visitors can access maintained hiking paths directly from their campsites, with trails ranging from easy quarter-mile loops to more substantial connecting routes.

What Campers Like

Spacious sites: Riverbend Campground offers riverside tent locations with ample room. "Super peaceful, great fire pit location, water at the site entrance, portable restrooms away (but close), and best of all right at the river's edge," reports reviewer J. The campground maintains significant space between sites to enhance privacy.

Clean facilities: Alder Lake Park consistently receives praise for its maintenance. "The facilities are clean and we'll kept. All in all, we might travel around a bit year to year, but we will always return to this park to stay at least once a year," explains Chandra J. The park includes coin-operated showers and regularly serviced restroom facilities.

Scenic water views: Several glamping options near Puyallup provide waterfront locations. "This campground was beautiful! There's a day use lake and we had a wonderful time camping here!" shares Brittany L. about Dash Point State Park. Most lakefront properties offer dedicated swimming areas separate from fishing and boating zones.

What You Should Know

Noise considerations: Some camping areas experience noise from transportation corridors. At Saltwater State Park Campground, "No joke- ALL day and night the planes felt like they were in our tent/heads. Every 3-30 seconds it was LOUD," reports Kirsten. Similarly, several sites note railway noise at locations near train tracks.

Rule enforcement: Rangers maintain strict supervision at certain locations. "The park rangers are no joke... 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 (no music etc) too loud," shares Kelly P. about Kanaskat-Palmer State Park. Quiet hours typically run from 10 PM to 7 AM and are actively enforced.

Urban proximity: While convenient for access, some sites have an urban feel. "It's a gorgeous park next to Puget Sound. Fairly safe since it's gated and a park ranger was there overnight," notes Robert G. about Saltwater State Park, adding "From my experience it was quiet and after a while the air traffic from the airport becomes tolerable."

Tips for Camping with Families

Water safety: Dash Point State Park offers a designated swimming area for children. "Really cute camp spot and play area!! Pet friendly and dog park!" writes Carla S. However, parents should note that no lifeguards are on duty, requiring direct supervision of children in water.

Playground access: Multiple glamping facilities around Puyallup include dedicated play structures. "Facilities were good and trails around are fun and easy enough for me and 2 kids," explains Ingrid M. Camp Lakeview Resort specifically mentions "a great playground for kids" according to molly N.

Security considerations: Sites vary in their level of seclusion and monitoring. At Kanaskat-Palmer, "This campground is heavily patrolled by the park rangers. I usually have contact with them in my campsite at least twice a day," reports Kelly P., adding "I have never felt unsafe or had any unpleasant experiences here but the park rangers mean business."

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Some sites require significant adjustment for larger vehicles. At Kanaskat-Palmer, "We dry camped with our 30' Motorhome... 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. Always check site reviews for leveling information before booking.

Hookup availability: Electric-only sites predominate at several locations. "The site had water and electrical, but no sewer connections. They do have a nice dump station," reports Doug about Riverbend Campground. Most facilities near Puyallup provide potable water access and dump stations but full hookups are limited.

Arrival timing: Several campgrounds have specific check-in protocols. "Also, this is a private campground, so they have a guy that stands at the gate to open it when guests arrive," notes Doug about Riverbend. Office hours can be limited, especially at smaller privately-run operations like Elkamp Eastcreek.
