    Belfair State Park Campground

    On the shores of Hood Canal

    This campground is located on the northern side of Hood Canal and offers some great views of the water. About half the sites are in the woods, although they are all pretty close together. Some of the larger sites, including the RV sites, are right next to the beach, and you can set up chairs and have a beautiful view. These sites have little, if any, vegetation to provide privacy. A mid-week visit in early May found lots of sites open. The grounds and bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. There is a lot of open lawn, especially in the day use area, which would be great in the busy summer months. You need a Discover Pass for day use. These are required at pretty much all county and state campgrounds in Washington State. Right now they cost $30 per year. There is one Washington Water Trails site available for people arriving by human-powered boats (kayaks). It's first-come, first-served, with a picnic table and fire ring.

    Lewis North Travel Camp - Joint Base Lewis McChord

    Great Military only campground for a New Year's eve trip

    Great campground that serves military exclusively. We made a next day reservation due to the weather and just wanted a night away. Unfortunately the restrooms right next to our site were closed so it was a slight walk to the nearest restroom. Restrooms were heated and well taken care of. Only some of the sites have fire rings (so make sure to ask when making your reservation). The Northwest Adventure Center had propane, a dump station, firewood and tons of others things you can buy to make the outdoors more fun. Super quiet area. Only 2 dogs allowed per reservation. No camp-wide wifi but we didn't care about that. Great AT&T cell service. You can hear the nearby trains passing by but we were used to that already so it didn't bother us. Camp Host was amazing and able to answer our questions. Definitely will visit again.

    Ike Kinswa State Park Campground

    Nice state park on a lake

    General: Medium-sized park (100 sites plus several cabins) located on Mayfield Lake with three loops: two with hookups and one without. We stayed in the loop without hookups.

    Site Quality/Facilities: The sites are very generous in size with LONG paved driveway pads. The sites on the outer side of the loops are pull-throughs and the ones on the interior are back-in. Large wooden picnic table and a fire ring complete the site (although as with the entire state, there was a burn ban in effect). The sites are all heavily wooded, providing good separation between the sites. 

    Bathhouse: Small – two stalls plus two showers – and dated. No hooks or other options to store toiletries and no garbage receptacle. 50 cents for every three minutes of shower time. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on the quality but I have definitely seen better showers. 

    Activities: Water sports. There were plenty of motorboats out on the lake (not my thing but if it is yours, this looked like a good lake for watercraft). The loops are paved and I saw many riding their bikes. There is a trail that skirts the lake– a little over a mile point to point but with many paths leading from the campground loops. Rocky with lots of tree roots but very scenic. 

    Very pleasant stay here and would return.

    Bay Center-Willapa Bay KOA

    This place has it all!!

    When we go crabbing it is usually our of Tokeland. We checked out Bay Center and were so pleasantly surprised by this KOA. This place really has it all!!

    -Full Hookups, complimentary showers, wifi, cable, and a snack bar.

    They have clam beds just for campers, or a day fee for those wanting to rake without camping. Some of the sites are pretty open but if you went with a large family it would be perfect. You can only have 4 people to a tent campsite and 6 to an RV site, which puts some limitations on people.

    They have spaces for RV's and trailers, tents, cabins, yurts and even have trailers you can rent to stay in on site!

    This is a great spot for families who do not necessarily want to rough it and want to enjoy a smooth weekend being cared for by great hosts!

    LOGE Westport

    Oversold and mediocre

    A bit disappointed by this place. A bit oversold. Looks better on paper. Kind of a jack of all trades master of none type of place. There are rv sites which are nowhere near as big as advertised. They do have full hookups. WiFi is worthless unless you go to the lodge. They give the wrong info for passwords etc. and when told shrug and say “we can’t figure it out”. The cafe is ok but not much of a selection. They do have covered tent sites and lodging as well but I didn’t use either. The traeger grills are nice but there are only two. So if it’s busy you might be out of luck. There are two picnic tables for the entire place. The common areas might be nice in a non-pandemic world but now they just look forlorn. I think this is a big surfer spot or is trying to be. I doubt I’ll be coming back.

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Go here!!!

    They have glamping! Or as the campground calls it: pampered camping. This is a beautiful park located on Deep Lake just outside of Olympia.  The park itself is huge offering lots of options for campers.  Super easy to get our trailer in and out of the spaces and there was lots of extra parking for our larger group.  A quick walk around the grounds offered a nice hike and showed us some pretty awesome sites Id like to stay at in the future.  They are on a progressive price, meaning depending on the site is what your price will be.

    The canvas tent option was one I didn’t know about until I got there.  The tents are cabin shaped and have a few chairs and BBQ grill outside it.  Great option for families.

    The park also offers a cottage right next to the lake.  This is a nice alternative to traditional camping.  One thing that was great about the park was the various kitchens around the grounds.  This offers a great way for larger groups to have a set space for meals.

    Elkamp Eastcreek

    Clean, beautiful

    Well maintained campground, full hookups and tent sites available. Sites fairly large & private with tons of old trees and right next to a creek. Bathrooms clean. Fire pits and firewood available from hosts. Easy access to Rainier NP. Hosts super nice. Only thing that would make this place better is more substantial picnic tables which were new but kind of rickety. Would camp here again.

    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.

    Seaquest State Park Campground

    Regular campsites and yurts - YES; RV spots - NO!!!

    I love Seaquest for their beautiful campsites and the proximity to a wonderful forest to bathe in. But don't go for the RV sites, which are laid out in a parking lot setting with no real distance from neighbors and not surrounded by trees. Unless that's your jam. It was definitely not ours, tent camping alongside some friends with a trailer who liked nothing more than to hang out at said trailer, and walk through the campground to look at other.. trailers. I don't think they even stepped foot in the 7+ miles of forest trails which is a few steps away. If you can step away from the hookups and get a real campsite off the RV pad, it is a stunning experience. Each site is surrounded by trees, creating privacy and serenity.  Another great option is the yurts. We stayed in Yurt 2 (the only pet friendly yurt) and loved it. 

    For those with RV's, trailers, campers - look into the regular sites because I think some of them even have hookups and can accommodate most sizes. Just steer clear of RV sites T1-T16.


Guide to Rochester

Cabin accommodations near Rochester, Washington range from rustic single-room structures to larger multi-room units set within forested state parks and private campgrounds. Located in Thurston County at an elevation of about 200 feet, the Rochester area experiences mild temperatures with winter lows around 35°F and summer highs in the mid-70s. Rain is common from October through April, making many cabin rentals particularly valuable during wet weather conditions.

What to do

Swimming at Deep Lake: Millersylvania State Park Campground offers a popular swimming area during summer months. The beach area includes designated swimming zones with a fishing dock nearby. "The beach is the main attraction and it is hopping. We went early in the morning and staked a claim and were happy all day. There is a nice shallow area and two large swimming areas as well as a fishing dock," notes Ellen T.

Outdoor activities year-round: With miles of trails throughout wooded areas, most cabin locations provide immediate access to hiking and nature observation. "There are ample trails throughout the park including a lovely trail along the lake, which is not far from the campground," writes Christina F. about Millersylvania State Park.

Fishing opportunities: Many cabins provide access to lakes and rivers where fishing is permitted with proper licensing. Offut Lake Resort offers cabins near prime fishing waters. "The restaurant and lake are awesome," mentions Sue G., who appreciated the proximity to water activities directly from the cabin area.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: American Heritage Campground receives praise for site layout. "The lots are well plotted with space and privacy," notes Steve F. This private campground offers cabin accommodations with more seclusion than some alternatives.

Wood stove heating: Cabins with wood stoves provide comfortable accommodations during colder months. The heating system allows guests to regulate temperature regardless of external conditions.

Access to visitor centers: Seaquest State Park Campground offers cabins and yurts with convenient access to educational facilities. "The visitor center was a short 1 mile walk from the campground that had an under road tunnel leading under the highway," explains Ashley B., highlighting the safe pedestrian access to nearby attractions.

Group accommodations: Several campgrounds feature cabin clusters suitable for multiple families traveling together. "If you are camping with a large family this would be a perfect spot to try and rent all the spaces. You would essentially have your own bathroom, outdoor play area," describes Mary C. about the yurt village at Seaquest State Park.

What you should know

Bathroom access varies: Not all cabins include private bathrooms. "Only downside for some is that there are no restrooms, so campers, trailers, RVs must have their own bathroom," notes Sue G. about Offut Lake Resort cabins.

Reservation timing: Most cabin facilities require advance booking, especially during peak season (May-September). Winter availability increases but fewer facilities remain open.

Kitchen facilities: Cooking accommodations range from primitive to fully equipped. Ike Kinswa State Park Campground offers cabins with varied amenities. "The campground has numerous cabins for rent many with water views," mentions Lisa K., who appreciated the options available.
