Most glamping resorts in the region remain open year-round, though availability increases during summer months when water activities become popular. Advance reservations are recommended, especially for weekend stays at sought-after locations like Dosewallips State Park which features cabin-style glamping with nearby wildlife viewing opportunities.

    Lake Leland Campground

    Reasonable spot. Rules not enforced.

    Arrived around 9pm. Mostly quiet. Camped near someone with a generator and thought they’d shut it off at 10pm (quiet hours 7am-10pm). Well, they didn’t shut it off till we asked and then turned it back on at midnight. Impossible to sleep. Got up to use the restroom and someone had been smoking cigarettes in the bathroom: shit + cig smoke = super lame. The number Jefferson County instructs you to call in case of issues is only operable from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Lower # campsites seem to have good morning sun.

    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!

    Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

    Great group camp site!

    The group site set apart from the rest of the camping, so you can really enjoy the space without feeling like you are bothering the other campers. There's lots of space for tents plus some wooden bunks in a wooden shelter, a nice option for people new to camping who don't have a tent, but I'd be afraid of spiders! :O Site is adjacent to a river access, which I did not get a chance to check out myself, but being near water is always a plus to me.

    The campgrounds are about an our of of Seattle, so it's a really nice low-commitment option for those residing in the greater Seattle area. Despite being so close, it doesnt feel very populated or anything like that, nice and woodsy still! :)

    The only drawback to the group site is occasionally you'll get a random person wandering through to access the water.

    I wouldn't suggest going so late in the year unless you are prepared for rain, it poured on us most of the stay, but we still managed to have fun. Luckily there is a large covered dining area so it's survivable in rain

    Middle Fork Campground

    Very clean site with good day hikes and river fishing in the area

    Very clean campground with very nice tent pads.  The bathrooms were spotless.  A lot of great activities in the area: several trails

    The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 starts is because this campground is a little less than 1.5 hours from Seattle so you can sometimes get some "amateurs" from the city who have poor campsite etiquette.  We were a couple sites down from one of two group sites and they were pretty noisy.

    Sites 8, 9, and 16 as the most secluded, especially site 9.

    Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

    Cute and Convenient

    Stayed here for a quick overnight trip and it was delightful. Not a super long drive from Seattle and the park is nice. Bathrooms are clean, sites are decent size and mostly private. The salmon were swimming upstream and jumping the rapids which was really cool to watch! Came on a weeknight so it was pretty quiet. Would definitely return.

    Beach Campground — Fort Worden Historical State Park

    Fort Worden state park

    So I actually work for fort worden hospitality. And I’ve noticed you guys have tent cabins on the list even though our tent cabins are still in the process of being built. And are unavailable for use due to not being completed in the timely fashion due to funding constraints

    Dosewallips State Park Campground

    Fun, busy campground

    There is a river and salmon climb it to spawn in October I believe. Very cool to see. Campground is large, with about 20% of camp sites have good privacy. Walking distance to a gas station for supplies. Clean bathrooms with running water.

    Kanaskat-Palmer State Park

    Our favorite camping close to home

    We love coming here. It's close proximity to our house allows us to hook up the trailer after work and include a Friday night in our camping weekend! The availability seems pretty good too, especially in Spring when some campgrounds are not quite open yet.

    This campground has great clean and heated bathrooms. Sites and roads are paved. Hook ups are electric only, bring your water. The first time we went we did not know and our Basecamp's heat runs via the hot water heater. It was cold! The sites are large and pretty private. We have stayed in site 42 which is a back in spot with fire pit and table above the back of the pad. Also, we have enjoyed site 38, a pull through that gave us nice wooded views and privacy.

    The campground loop is a nice walk or cruise on a bike. There is easy access to a beautiful stretch of the Green River, with picnicking areas and walking trails. You might catch a kayaker in the river, I hear this stretch take a lot of skill!
