Tall Chief Campground's pet-friendly environment welcomes campers with dogs and other animals across its spacious, tree-lined sites. Located in Fall City, approximately 15 minutes from Sammamish, this year-round campground offers water and electric hookups for RVs and also accommodates tent campers and those seeking cabin stays. Sites feature fire rings and picnic tables with ample space between neighbors, providing privacy for campers and their pets. The campground maintains clean facilities including showers and toilets, with designated pet relief areas throughout the property. Vasa Park Resort on Lake Sammamish similarly allows pets while offering waterfront access, though alcohol is prohibited. Most sites at Tall Chief provide 30-amp service with no sewer hookups at individual sites, making extended stays with pets require planning for waste management.
Dog owners appreciate the woodsy setting at Tall Chief with numerous walking opportunities for daily pet exercise. The campground's location provides convenient access to nearby hiking trails while remaining close to urban amenities in Redmond, approximately 20 minutes away. Sites throughout the park vary in sun exposure due to the dense tree coverage, creating cool spots for pets during summer months. While there is no fenced dog park on the property, three designated pet relief areas with waste stations are available. The park's proximity to Fall City and Snoqualmie Falls makes it ideal for day trips with pets. Campers report excellent cell service at most sites with both AT&T and Verizon, though coverage can vary significantly throughout the campground depending on tree density and site location.

LegendReally cute camp spot and play area!! Pet friendly and dog park! Went here on our trip to Tacoma north of the city. Very nice beach and area!! There's also a light house to check out while you are here!
GuideThis place is the best free camping in Washington. Coming from the Skykomish direction I believe it’s the turnoff to the right, right before the bridge. The old Cascades Highway road is barely travelled at all and there is rushing river right along the campsite. There is service and other pull offs along the highway if this spot is taken. There’s some large rocks that you have to maneuver around but my Subaru Forester got around it just fine.
GuideThis is my new favorite spot to camp in Washington. The spaces are well distributed, the location right next to the river is beautiful and the site staff were extremely gracious. I’d strongly recommend picking a number between 2 and 10 as those are the closest sights to the river if you’re looking to enjoy the sounds of the water. There is also a full bathroom at around the mid 20s if you’d prefer a functional toilet system.
GuideThere aren’t many rv parks that are close (35ish mins) to Seattle but this is the best option. Office staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean, laundry is cheap ($1 wash), maintenance staff is constantly tending to the grounds, full hook ups, and cute (short) hiking paths surrounding the park. The lake is more of a murky pond and the geese are happy residents here so expect a lot of goose poop at any spot near the water. There’s also no dog park.
LegendWonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets.
We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all.
Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.
GuideThis camp ground is not ideal if you have dogs. There is not much grass, in fact you have to go outside the park and across the street to hear compliant pet owner. We also found the electric box to be a little wonky. They office staff did have an adapter which help. It was very quiet and clean just not the most attractive campground.
ScoutExcellent location for those with military access to the base - active duty, retired or family. 30/50 amp hookups. Beautiful views of American Lake. Pet friendly.
GuideThis 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.
GuideThe prices for everything is amazing! The campsites are spacious and run along the creek! There are tent pads that make the ground not so hard under your tent. A table, grill and campfire ring at every site. The cabins are very nice! And are spacious as well. Have a porch swing, campfire ring, table and grill outside. Most cabins have an electric heater and a heat stove inside. The heat stove heats up the entire cabin very well!! They provide trash cans and bags and a broom to help keep the dirt cleaned up!
The bathrooms are very nice and clean. And they have firewood for sale on site. There is an attendant that will be there after work hours for people who are arriving late to get you checked in and answer questions you have. There are a couple of hiking trails, twin lakes, boats, canoes, and bikes to rent on site. There is also an enclosed dog park on site. There are tent sites, cabins, rv sites and even little apartments to rent for your stay. Great place and only 25 miles from town!
Campsites near Sammamish cluster around the western Cascade foothills at elevations between 500-1200 feet, offering cooler summer temperatures than Seattle proper. Most campgrounds in the region maintain operating seasons from early April through late October, with several year-round options providing water and electric hookups during winter months when temperatures typically range from 30-45°F.
Fishing access points: Tolt MacDonald Park provides convenient river access for steelhead and salmon fishing. "We've fished steelhead and pinks out of the Snoqualmie river in the past," notes Mercedes D. about Tolt MacDonald Park.
Paddle boarding at Deep Lake: Located just 10 minutes from Kanaskat-Palmer State Park campground, Deep Lake offers calm waters ideal for paddlers. As one visitor explains, "10 minute drive from Deep Lake which is beautiful and great for swimming and paddle boarding," according to Ashlie M. at Kanaskat-Palmer State Park.
Trail exploration: Multiple campsites offer direct trail access for morning hikes. "If you venture across the Shakey bridge there are hiking trails, access to the water, and plenty of trees to hang your hammock in," reports Dawnielle C. at Tolt MacDonald Park.
Swimming opportunities: Several campgrounds provide water access for summer swimming. "It's in the shore of Lake Samammish, giving access to swim, paddle, picnic," shares Libby about their experience at Vasa Park Resort.
Proximity to Seattle: Many campsites offer wilderness settings while staying close to urban amenities. "This is a great RV resort. The picture on the app is not at all what this place looks like. A Quiet oasis tucked into the forest," writes Todd B. about Blue Sky RV Park.
Clean facilities: Kanaskat-Palmer consistently receives praise for its well-maintained bathrooms and showers. "It has 6 very clean individual (one person) bathrooms with a shower in each," notes Kelly P., who camps at Kanaskat-Palmer monthly.
Spacious sites: Unlike more crowded campgrounds, several options provide ample space between neighbors. "Most sites are pretty big too. We can easily fit our trailer, tow vehicle, and extra vehicle and still have space!" explains Brodie D. about Tall Chief Campground.
Water features: Many campgrounds offer river or lake access directly from the property. "This campsite is great! Lots of space and friendly people," says Alison S. about camping alongside the river at Tinkham Campground.
Cell service varies significantly: Coverage can change dramatically based on tree density and campsite location. "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," advises Brodie D. about Tall Chief.
Reservation requirements: Most popular campgrounds fill quickly during summer weekends. "We got lucky and snagged the very last spot here on a Saturday in late September. Note that you can check availability online on the day of, but you cannot make same day reservations online," explains Laura M. about Kanaskat-Palmer.
Limited sewer hookups: Several dog friendly campgrounds near Sammamish offer water and electric but no sewer connections. "I do have to knock a star for the fact no sites have sewer hookups. This is fairly understandable though as it appeared that a service needs to pump the septic tank by the dump station for the entire park," shares Derek & Alex W. about their experience at Tall Chief Campground.
Noise levels: Some campgrounds experience road or train noise. "We heard a couple trains while there, but the noise wasn't too loud. Never heard the fire siren that they warned us about," reports Jay F. at Kanaskat-Palmer State Park.
Playground options: Several pet-friendly campgrounds also feature play areas for children. "The pool, miniature golf, playground and basketball were great," shares Isabel G. about their family trip to Tall Chief Campground.
Bathroom accessibility: Choose sites close to facilities when camping with young children. "Stayed just one night at site 42, which was on a corner and offered a good amount of privacy and easy access to the clean bathrooms," recommends Rachel about their family's stay at Dash Point State Park.
Ranger supervision: Some campgrounds maintain higher levels of staff presence. "This campground is heavily patrolled by the park rangers. I usually have contact with them in my campsite at least twice a day," notes Kelly P. about Kanaskat-Palmer, adding that this helps keep the campground "safe and pleasant."
Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer swimming access appropriate for different age groups. "We roasted hotdogs and s'mores over the camp fire and our dog loved swimming in the lake," shares Amy H. about their family experience at Vasa Park Resort.
Power management: Several campgrounds offer only 30-amp service. "Normally 30 amp posts are sufficient but we ended up here during a heat wave and an entire section of the park blew after having several days of power issues," warns Derek & Alex W. about Tall Chief Campground.
Pull-through availability: Some sites offer easier access for larger rigs. "RV sites are all pull through its fairly quiet. Nice setting lots of outdoor and indoor activities with in a short drive," shares Russ H. about their experience at Lake Pleasant RV Park.
Parking surface quality: Site levelness varies significantly between campgrounds. "We 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," cautions Cody F. about dry camping with their 30-foot motorhome at Kanaskat-Palmer.
Extended stay options: For those seeking longer-term arrangements near Seattle, several parks offer monthly rates. "Stayed 3 months for work, perfect beautiful, CHEEP CHEEP, not too good to be true, just right. All hook ups included.
