    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!

    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

    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

    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!

    Dash Point State Park Campground

    Easily accessible escape from the city life!

    After flying into SeaTac late in the afternoon this campground was a great place to start our Washington trip and only about 30 minutes from the airport. Located within the Dash Point State Park, there are day use facilities in addition to the campground including an ampitheatre, beach access and lots of hiking trails. The campground itself is well appointed with spacious spots, although the sites aren't huge, they are wooded enough to provide decent privacy. Our site (#21) was right across from a trailhead that led down to the beach which made for a great sunset watching location, I would definitely recommend reserving a spot on the lower loop by the beach trail. The site has a paved parking pad, flat spots for a tent, a picnic table and a fire pit with a grill top. The bathrooms are easily accessed by wooded trails and kept quite clean. Even visiting during the middle of the high season the campground didn't feel crowded. Although unfortunately there was a bit of trash by the beach, the campground was quite clean altogether and I would definitely stay here again.

    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.

    Kitsap Memorial State Park Campground

    So close to home.

    The camper spots are really close together. Our neighbors sewer hook up was right next to our camp fire pit. Kind of was a turn off at staying at that site again. On a good note they have a great big field to play games with the kids or dogs. We enjoyed riding our bikes around the park and walking down on the beach during low tide. I work close to the park so I went to work a few days we stayed at the campground and it was closer then driving home. It was such a great feeling to leave work to go camping for the night and relaxing. They do have buildings for events and a group camping.


Guide to Silverdale

Glamping options around Silverdale provide access to Puget Sound shorelines and Hood Canal waters. Most parks in the area sit between 20-50 feet above sea level, experiencing mild summers with average highs around 75°F and cool winters. The waterfront locations feature rocky beaches with dramatic tidal fluctuations of 8-12 feet that reveal marine life during low tides.

What to do

Beach exploration at low tide: Dosewallips State Park offers prime marine life viewing when the tide recedes. "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," notes Amy & Stu B. The park also features several hiking trail loops.

Kayaking and water activities: Fort Worden Historical State Park provides water access for boating. "There is a little bit of road noise, and a lot of the sites have no privacy, but it is a nicely maintained campground with nice bathrooms," reports Delaney M. about nearby Dosewallips.

Shellfish harvesting: Saltwater areas provide opportunities for clam digging and oyster collection in season. "Make sure and go to near by Hama Hama for their oysters," recommends Dean from Dosewallips State Park. Belfair campers can also access shellfish beds during appropriate seasons.

Wildlife watching: The region hosts abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. "No shortage of bald eagles here either. Plenty of group tent sites as well as regular RV and tent sites," reports Shariah T., who has visited Dosewallips for years.

What campers like

Waterfront access: Fay Bainbridge Park offers direct beach access from the campground. "Great campground right on the beach. Clean facilities," notes Brook M. The park provides views of Mount Rainier and Baker on clear days.

Forest camping settings: Kitsap Memorial State Park offers wooded sites away from the water. "Very quiet area, lots of room on site 9, walked to beach area. Bathrooms for camping have code, cleaned frequently," reports Mike D.

Historical attractions: Fort Worden Historical State Park combines camping with historical exploration. "If you like bunkers, canons, and barracks, with a view, then come here. There is a lighthouse that still functions and plenty of beach access," explains Ryan L.

Playgrounds for children: Parks offer play areas for families with children. "Amazing kids area pirate ship. Great beach walk and good camp sites," writes Tanya B. about Fay Bainbridge Park. Kitsap Memorial also features "a playground and a couple large open fields for kids to play," according to Kris W.

What you should know

Campsite privacy varies significantly: Dash Point State Park stands out for site spacing. "This campground is remarkable in the privacy between each of the camping spots, the bird life, the wild and deep forest vibes, and the walking trails," notes Brittany D. In contrast, many waterfront sites throughout the region offer minimal privacy.

Reservation requirements: Most parks require advance booking, especially for premium spots. "We chose the full hookup option. Firewood could be purchased through the camp host," reports Amy & Stu B. about their Dosewallips stay.

Weather considerations: The region experiences significant rainfall between October and April. "Rain was nice to enjoy through the windows," mentions Lauren M. about Dosewallips, highlighting the need for proper rain gear even during summer months.

Noise factors: Some parks experience significant ambient noise. Sites near major transportation corridors may experience traffic noise. "Commercial jets landing at Sea-Tac fly directly above us at a low altitude and are VERY loud and VERY frequent (every 3-5 minutes)," reports Travis P. about Saltwater State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Choose loop locations strategically: Dosewallips State Park offers varied camping experiences based on loop selection. "Do not choose a site by the cabins or field, you will be disappointed. Choose a large site by the river!" advises Michele K. Loop selection can significantly impact your experience.

Look for campgrounds with play structures: "Great place for the kids...with a small aquarium open on the weekend. The family had a blast," says Nicholos J. about Fort Worden.

Consider glamping options for easier family trips: Platform tents offer convenience for short stays. "While it's quite basic it gave an amazing nature experience. We usually do tent camping, but we opted for platform tents here as we were only staying one night. The tent was much nicer than we expected," explains Sara S. about Dosewallips.

Plan for seasonal activities: "I've been coming to this state park for as long as I can remember. There's so many activities to do; clamming, shrimping, hiking, hunting for oysters, and there's even places to rent kayaks," shares Shariah T. about Dosewallips.

Tips from RVers

Site selection for larger rigs: Belfair State Park offers suitable sites for bigger RVs. "Nestled among the trees, a great place to pitch a tent, dig clams and have a nice dinner," mentions Vince L. The park features a waterfront loop and wooded loop with different site configurations.

Hookup availability: Most parks offer some form of hookups. "RV sites are blacktop and level. Some sites have partial hookups w/o septic. Dump station is on site," notes James and Susan K. about Dosewallips State Park.

Seasonal considerations: "Often our first or last trip of the year, due to its proximity to the greater Seattle area. Small sites with little privacy but very well kept for a heavily used park," shares Doug about Belfair State Park's waterfront loop.
