Best Cabin Camping near Seattle, WA

368 Reviews

Cabin accommodations at Fay Bainbridge Park on Bainbridge Island and Dosewallips State Park in Brinnon provide year-round options near Seattle. Both locations offer electric hookups, with campfire rings and picnic tables at each cabin site. Most cabins feature basic furnishings including beds and seating areas, though bedding is typically not provided. Bathrooms with showers are available in central facilities rather than in-unit. Additional cabin options can be found at Tall Chief Campground in Fall City, Tolt MacDonald Park in Carnation, and Kitsap Memorial State Park in Poulsbo. "We stayed in spot #40. Plenty of privacy in that spot although the others are more open space camping. I love the beach area and the park for kids! Such a special little spot."

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Hollyhock Farm offers secluded forest cabins with a more private experience, while Blue Sky RV Park in Issaquah includes cabin rentals among its accommodation options. Most locations require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by campground—Fay Bainbridge and Tall Chief allow pets at cabin sites, while others may restrict animals or require additional fees. According to one visitor at Hollyhock Farm, "The sites were secluded from one another within a beautiful forest, the toilet was clean and fairly close to the sites, parking was easy and the host was a total gem!"

Most cabins include minimal kitchen facilities, requiring guests to bring cooking equipment, utensils, and food supplies. Standard amenities typically include electricity and heating, but visitors should pack bedding, pillows, towels, and toiletries. Firewood is available for purchase at several locations including Fay Bainbridge Park and Kitsap Memorial State Park. Fort Flagler Historical State Park Campground in Nordland offers cabins with market facilities nearby for basic provisions. Water access is provided at all cabin sites, though water hookups for cabin units vary by location. During peak season, early booking is essential as cabins tend to fill quickly, particularly at waterfront locations.

    Camano Island State Park Campground

    Group Camp Stay

    We stayed with several families at the group site with a mixture of trailers, tents, and tents on cars. The trailers ranged in size from 22’ to 36’ and we found ample space for each.

    This site has close access to the bathrooms shared with those staying in the cabins. Peekaboo views of the water between the trees.

    The site has several campsites that branch off of the road through the site which is also a trail. It has a central gravel area for a large group or trailers next to a large field area. There is no kitchen shelter, just picnic tables, fire pits, and a grill.

    The site feels very private but you have people passing on the trail/road, which runs through the middle of camp, at regular intervals.

    The park is full of steep hills which can make those with mobility challenges or kids wanting to ride bikes tough. The road to the beach is very steep.

    Bring bug spray as mosquitoes were vicious as well as the yellow jackets.

    Flowing Lake Park & Campground

    The cabins are a lot of fun!

    We typically visit the cabins here in the winter, so we don’t usually partake in the summer activities of swimming, boating, etc., but we do love coming here in the winter. The cabins are heated and have bunk beds, which makes for a cozy retreat into nature in the winter. The only reason that this spot did not get full stars is because the park has had transients hiking through the trails (which made for a scary 2 a.m. bathroom break).

    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.

    Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

    Nice & quick camping option from Seattle

    We stayed 1 night here for the maiden voyage of our recently purchased travel trailer, which was nice since it's only about an hour away from our place near Seattle. Arrived Friday early evening and it wasn't busy at all.

    The check-in process was easy, even though their reservation system was down at the time. Filled up w/ some fresh water at the dump station, which was clean and well maintained.

    Campsites in the RV loop were spaced out enough with vegetation between them so as to provide some privacy. Our site had a pull-through driveway, 30amp hookup, a fire ring and picnic table. Bathrooms in that loop were pretty nice... heated and very clean.

    Took a walk down to the day use area by the river, which was easy for us, but some portions of the trails closer to the river were slightly overgrown w/ a few obstacles, which could be problematic for some. Didn't see any kids play structures down there, which would be nice to have for families.

    We heard a couple trains while there, but the noise wasn't too loud. Never heard the fire siren that they warned us about. Overall, it was a good camping experience for a quick trip and would return!

    Camano Island State Park Campground

    Wonderful group site

    Stayed in the group site with my daughter’s American Heritage Girls troop. We had 22 girls and there was plenty of room. This is a huge group site. Has running water, a couple fire pits and a bunch of picnic tables. These are lots of level spots to pitch tents. The flush toilets and shower house are in the parking area for this site so really convenient. We drove down to the beach from the site but I’m pretty sure there is a trail if you wanted to walk. We had a great time!

    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.

    Dosewallips State Park Campground

    Great Shrimping take off point

    We usually stay here during our annual shrimping trips. The site is in a valley so when heavy rainfall happens you will get muddy, swampy sites. During sunshine, the place is great.

    The campground has cabins, rustic shelters, and tent and rv site. The cabins are great for families and have a bunk bed and futon set up with a table set and even heaters.

    Bathrooms and showers on site, though showers will cost you. Sites are pretty open, though there are a few that are a bit hidden. Lots of areas to hike and explore, even a hidden waterfall a short drive away.

    Great for shrimping, clamming and oyster hunting.

    Tall Chief Campground

    Nice, quiet and woodsy

    We are here in November for a week. We really love it here. The staff are friendly and helpful. Lots of trees in our section separating us but in other sections your really close to each other. It is first come first serve and lucky us we got 50 amp. I would scout the map and be first for checkin just in case someone left that day because their are only a few 50 amp. Hopefully you aren’t spending too much inside to matter but we have a washer dryer and a residential fridge and a small fridge. Looks like newer picnic tables and they also provide fire rings. You are about 20 minutes from downtown Redmond. We will definitely stay here again. I bet summer is really busy because it’s a great area. Also not far from Snoqualmie falls and lots of hiking available. Really nice laundry room and play area for kids. I wish they had a fenced off leash area for dogs but they do have 3 different potty areas for them.

    Tolt MacDonald Park, WA

    cute woodsy getaway super close to the city!

    told macdonald is super cute park and campground! they offer the typical primitive campsites with fire pits and picnic tables, as well as yurts and shipping container conversions for those who want more of a "GLAMping" outdoor experience. the campground, park and trails are very well maintained and they even provide you with garden carts to help you get your stuff across the bridge. great spot for steelhead + salmon fishing. we've fished steelhead and pinks out of the snoqualmie river in the past. it's located right smack in the middle of carnation so on a nice sunny day you could walk out of the park to get pizza, ice cream or even mexican food. the suspension bridge is pretty cool, but hold onto your phones tight because it could slip through the holes into the river below. i would rate this place as 4-5 star park / 3-4 star camping since it's not even close to roughing it. those bucolic woods are our backyard.

Guide to Seattle

Cabin rentals near Seattle provide convenient access to the outdoors without requiring camping equipment. Most cabins stand in wooded areas on state and county parkland within a 90-minute drive from the city. Winter cabin reservations typically require booking 3-6 months in advance, while summer reservations often fill 9 months ahead, particularly for waterfront locations. Cabins range from rustic single-room structures to multi-room units with varying amenities.

What to do

Beach exploration at low tide: Fort Flagler Historical State Park Campground offers excellent beach access for visitors. "You can walk the beach or walk the beautiful forest. Well maintained, great camphosts and a cool snack shack," notes Linda M. The park has both beach and forest camping areas with different privacy levels.

Wildlife viewing: Dosewallips State Park Campground offers cabins near prime wildlife viewing areas. "Every night, my husband and I would walk to the wildlife viewing platform to see lots of birds, or walk down by the river and see lots of elk and bald eagles," reports Amy & Stu B. The river access points throughout the campground provide additional wildlife spotting opportunities.

Historical exploration: Fort Flagler Historical State Park Campground combines cabin accommodations with historical sites. "Lots to do there...beach, crabbing, clamming, playground, sport courts, trails, and the most fun is exploring all the gun batteries. We did the tour and it was very informative," shares Jill T. The park maintains a museum with information about the fort's military history.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Hollyhock Farm features cabins set apart from each other in wooded surroundings. Rio B. explains, "The sites were secluded from one another within a beautiful forest, the toilet was clean and fairly close to the sites, parking was easy and the host was a total gem!" The farm offers a quieter alternative to larger state park cabin facilities.

Waterfront access: Belfair State Park Campground provides cabin options with water access. "There's a beach loop for RVs and a woods loop for tents & smaller RVs. The beach was great, water is rather warm for in the sound, it's also pretty shallow which is great for the kids to play in," says Leah H. The park offers both wooded and waterfront cabin locations.

Recreational facilities: Tall Chief Campground maintains various amenities near its cabin rentals. "The pool, miniature golf, playground and basketball were great. Laundry facilities came in handy," Isabel G. reports. The campground provides activities for different age groups when not exploring surrounding areas.

What you should know

Bathroom and shower access: Kanaskat-Palmer State Park provides well-maintained facilities near cabin sites. "Bathrooms in that loop were pretty nice... heated and very clean," notes Jay F. Most cabin locations feature centralized bathroom facilities rather than in-unit bathrooms.

Site selection: Choose cabin locations based on specific needs rather than availability alone. At Dosewallips State Park, Michael B. advises, "If you are looking for a more tame, less encroached camping experience, the loop that runs along the river is where you want to go." Research specific site numbers when making reservations.
