Best Campgrounds near Silverdale, WA

1,239 Reviews

State parks and forests surrounding Silverdale, Washington feature a mix of waterfront and wooded camping experiences within an hour's drive. Scenic Beach State Park in nearby Seabeck offers tent and RV sites with Hood Canal views, while Illahee State Park in Bremerton provides year-round camping with electric hookups. Kitsap Memorial State Park north of Silverdale accommodates tents, RVs, and cabins with boat-in access options. Manchester State Park in Port Orchard features wooded sites with water and electric hookups. The region balances developed campgrounds with more rustic options, including Green Mountain which has limited amenities but provides quick access to trails from Silverdale.

A Washington State Discover Pass ($30 annually) is required for day use at most state parks and campgrounds in the region. Many campgrounds near Silverdale maintain year-round operations, though facilities like Seal Rock Campground operate seasonally from May to September. Road noise can be an issue at some locations, particularly those near Highway 101 or other main routes. As one camper noted at Dosewallips State Park, "Highway traffic is pretty much nonexistent in the evening and night, and the entire camp was pretty quiet by 9 pm." Cell service varies significantly between locations, with most developed sites offering at least basic connectivity while more remote areas have limited or no service.

Waterfront sites at parks like Belfair State Park tend to fill quickly during summer months. A visitor observed, "If you can score a waterfront site, this campground earns the loyalty of everyone we meet there." Many campgrounds feature a mix of site types with varying privacy levels. At Scenic Beach State Park, campers appreciate "big spaces for tents tucked away from other campers" with beach access a short walk away. Site spacing is a common concern, with several reviewers noting proximity to neighboring campers. Illahee State Park strikes a balance, being "close enough to town for any necessities but far enough to get the secluded feeling." Most state parks offer clean facilities, fire rings, and picnic tables, with firewood often available for purchase on-site.

    Big Creek Campground

    I'm an avid camper - this was THE WORST experience ever.

    I'm an avid camper, and the experience I had at this campground with the host was ABSOLUTELY THE WORST ever. We arrived at the campground early to find the best spot as we were planning to take some outdoor wedding photos at the campsite the day after. It was not a busy season, so there were only a couple of sites occupied. We carefully selected a spot, paid for it, and posted the receipt on the site clip. I took a photo of both the envelope and the receipt clipped at the site. 

    After exploring the national park, we arrived at the campground at around 9pm. Most of the campsites were still unoccupied. To our surprise, when we arrived at our reserved spot, there was a group of people who took our campsite! They already put up their tent and a canopy as well. When I checked the pole where I clipped the receipt, it was GONE & REPLACED by someone else's!! When I talked to those people who took our campsite, there were already drunk and were at the verge of becoming hostile. But they did tell us that the host "allowed" them to take the spot. 

    Right then and there, we went to the host and explained the situation, and the host said (1) we never paid and that (2) there was no receipt clipped at the site. When I told him that that wasn't true, he proceeded to tell me that the information I wrote on the clip let him know that we were checking out today. So, for a second, I thought maybe I wrote either the# of nights spent or check-out date incorrectly. But then, I remembered I took pictures of both the envelope and the receipt!! I showed the photos to him, then, of course, he could not lie his way out of this. 

    There was no apology, and he simply proceeded to tell us to sleep at one of the other available campsites. We were super furious because we had NEVER experienced this kind of rudeness, lies, and brazen behavior. As anyone can imagine, we did not want to spend another second there, so we demanded a refund, and "MIRACULOUSLY", the envelope (still glued) with our payment was found in his RV. 

    I'm reporting the host to the US Forest Service.

    Dungeness Recreation Area

    Nicely treed park.

    Spectacular views and walking on the beach and the spit. We were able to drive in and reserve a spot on the fly. Free hot showers. RV dump site for a $10 fee, $40 for a site per nite. We were ok with that as we have been paying $12 in the cascades.

    North Whidbey RV Park

    Nice park

    Great checking. It is an RV park and there is jet noise from the Naval Air Station. We would stay here again.

    RV@Olympic

    Brand New

    If you want crisp, clean and new this is a park for you. We choose it for access to Hurricane Ridge. 15min to park entrance, 45 to the ridge. The spots are wide and you can park next to your coach. The clubhouse is nice and new. I did not make it to the bathhouse or laundry but I’m sure they are nice. Someone commented about walking dogs but I did not have a problem. There is a big grassy area in a circle of sites. If you have a dog, get one of these. I just walked through several vacant sites to the area. Maybe I shouldn’t have, but I did. Nice place for access to the northern part of Olympic.

    Lewis North Travel Camp - Joint Base Lewis McChord

    Easy

    If you have access, use it. $50 for FHU. The laundry is fine. The bathhouse is big and well maintained. There are two separate buildings with these facilities. I observed Commons#2. The park is kid of tight for my tastes. But the sites are big and separated from your neighbors. Very comfortable and woodsy. Great place.

    We have enjoyed our 3 week stay at this little water front event and RV campground. This is in the shore of Lake Samammish, giving access to swim, paddle, picnic. The facilities and grounds are kept clean and well maintained. It been fun watching the buffet groups come in and have their celebrations. Everyone is friendly and kind.
