"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."
"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!"
$20 / night

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.
ScoutGreat spot, I have been there before. But a recent fire has closed the grounds till 30sept2025
ScoutReally beautiful little camping spot. Whimsical river access. No drinking water access I could find and the directions said to get water from the near by trail head pump but that pump is broken so bring water or a filter.
GuideThe park rangers are so nice and helpful it was like stepping back in time . The spaces are very private and spread out. Everything is clean including the bathrooms. I had a hot shower one day and a luke warm one the next. Watch out for stinging nettles on the paths to the river if wearing shorts. Very painful.
GuideHas a vault toilet and picnic table, first come first served
GuideThere are a ton of really great sites along this road, although most of the drive-in sites will be taken if it’s a busy weekend, so get there early!
GuideI love how easy it is to get to this campground from tacoma. The beach is great and the amenities are great! But it’s quite busy and loud.
GuideAccess road is right off the highway and unpaved, has a TON of holes so I wouldn’t recommend driving down it without good ground clearance. There are a number of established sites where you can pull off the road and drive back into the woods a bit. And I had cell service everywhere!
GuideChecked in here after 3 weeks of travelling, before giving our rental back. The owners just seemed to glare at me on check in, were not friendly and were the only place in our travels to take a copy of our ID. They were not welcoming and we felt that they didn't want tourists there. The site is 90% residents with them taking up all the lakeside spots. Travellers get the sites by the road. There were only 6 full hook ups with the rest being dry sites. This felt like a Butlins holiday camp to us and would not recommend unless you're coming for the lake, which I admit, is very pretty. The owners don't respond to email correspondence either. After our book in experience, I didn't feel comfortable in attending to ask to cancel our last night so emailed them, as equally the office was shut, but alas I am still awaiting a response. I didn't want this site to be the end of our amazing trip so booked into a stunning hotel for our last night.
