Campground is well maintained, clean bathrooms and showers available."

$20 / night
""Firstly, I just have to say what a positive and amazing experience I had at this campground. The volunteers were friendly, kind and absolutely awesome to interact with."
"This campground is hidden in the middle of a major Western Washington city, Federal Way. Once in the campground, you would have no idea that you are surrounded by a sprawling metropolitan area."
$30 - $36 / night
"Although the Camp Ground and facilities are great at Tinkham, my advice would be to get into your lifted Off-Roader and hit the mountain roads for this camping trip of a lifetime!"
"It is a small Forest Service campground next to the south fork of the Snoqualmie river. The site well shaded and fairly privet for the most part."
$40 / night
"Just like building and exploring in Minecraft for PC, you can craft your perfect outdoor adventure here, surrounded by nature, and enjoy endless fun and exploration."
"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. "
"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!"
"The campground is next to a classy laundromat, and I say classy because it’s probably one of the nicest laundromats in the area that even has a dumpsite for RVs."
"The campground is in 500+ acre Tolt-McDonald Park, far enough away from any busy road so that there is no traffic noise, just the sound of the Tolt River rapids."
$60 / night
"My family stayed here for a night when we went out to Washington a few months ago. It was a nice little place."
"Pay showers ($1 for 3 minutes) and clean restroom with air dryer, pet friendly, lots of trails to hike and a beautiful beach area with a playground, seasonal/weekend snack shop, outdoor shower by the beach"
$35 - $45 / night
"There are several dump stations nearby. Very quiet and low key. It is situated next to a H.S. stadium so the game nights get a little bit loud but really not that bad. Showers are available too."
"All with picnic tables but you will be sitting right next to your neighbors if you choose the sites in middle section of park. No view of Rainier but views r very nearby."
"If you can look past the rundown bathrooms and strict rules about dogs and everything else you’re doing then you can appreciate the beauty of Lake Sawyer every morning."
"A Quiet oasis tucked into the forest. The new and clean bathrooms and showers were a real treat after a 2100 mile journey from Texas."
"It’s a very nice location, exceptionally clean and safe.
In site 11 you can hear the highway when outside of rv but couldn’t inside. Neighbors were very friendly."
ScoutRight on the lake. So peaceful!
ScoutDrove out there to find out that it's closed such a waste of time ! 6-12-25
ScoutLovely area such beautiful surroundings. But be very cautious as near one of the camp sites are very dangerous plants that are fatal and they are lined all around the campground so not recommended if you have children.
ScoutWent there to stay during the Northwest Fiber event, June 5-8, 2025. Stayed in RV-2 campground area because we thought this would be convenient to the event.
First, there are lousy amenities, as in basically none except a porta-potty. No functional dump station. Biggest issues are:
The toilet / shower building is a hike from the campground and is LOCKED during the night and even during the day on random days. On a Sunday afternoon at 2 PM it was locked. This is stupid because you need a code to get in so it's always locked, yet the facility personnel lock it with a deadbolt so NOBODY can get in, even with a code.
We stayed Thursday - Monday and for 12 hours on Saturday and on Sunday there were car races going on 150 yards away with a bunch of Trump supporting yahoos roaring around in souped up very noisy cars all day long. My sound meter read 100 Db at my campsite for 12 hours straight. Dust, noise and smell of burning oil and gasoline were annoying.
Porta-potty, the only option for relieving oneself when the shower and toilet building was locked (which was most of the time) was filthy and disgusting.
In summary, a major waste of money and a crap camping experience. Would not stay here again.
ScoutVery close to Bremerton, Silverdale, Kitsap county. Has about 5 tent spots with picnic tables and fire pit. Had a bathroom but no other amenities- drinking water, shower, firewood/ice for sale. Can be noisy due to dirt bike traffic. Escape the city and enjoy the outdoors while recluse to home and comforts.
RangerSo many options for camping/parking. There are fire rings everywhere you look, so I’m assuming this is packed and busy in the summer?
Oh! Lots of bugs everywhere so be warned 🫣 The spots near the woods have more trash around them.
You can hear the roaring river! We didn’t try going down there, but there are some hiking trails that might get you to the water.
There are several toilets around. No trash cans, pack out. Fairly close to the park.
This is an airstrip, the planes are quiet so you don’t really hear them coming in. But hurry up and get a show if you hear them for take off!! Pretty cool!!
GuideWe came here a year or two ago and decided to return. Great place as always! We stayed in spot 8 with our 20’ camper. Electric and water only. Plenty of vegetation to separate campers. There’s TV antenna reception as well, although reception with Verizon isn’t too great. Nice views of the water if you walk there, and an easy place to launch kayaks (which we brought). Will definitely return again!
LegendGreat boondocking. We made it fine in our 26ft class c, but the big sharp-edged rocks were concerning to drive over. And when we left we found a giant rock wedged between the two back tires (the dually tires). Not sure if we would go back, for this reason. But the lake level was really low when we stayed there, so there was plenty of available space for camping. A van or two, a truck camper, tent campers, a little scamp, and lots and lots of day time ATV users shared this space with us.
Cell service was good for both ATT and Verizon. Even though the area looks so remote, it’s right next to the road, so you have road noise that’s fairly loud. There was some trash, normal amounts, nothing horrible, until we came across this massive dumping ground of cans and food waste and broken glass and just general garbage, a couple miles north, along the lake. It was so disheartening.
ScoutAbsolutely amazing spots. Very spread out. Big rig spots for sure but road is very potholey. Go slow. Find a spot. Fire rings. Plenty of wood laying around and if there is no fire ban it’s even better. Hope you get lucky like I did. There is a pay slash donation and worth every penny. Somewhere around 5$ a day or if you’re strapped for cash just cross your fingers.
