"Located on the east side of the Olympic Peninsula, Collins campground is a bit off the beaten path, which was what I was looking for during peak season in August."

ScoutVery close to Bremerton, Silverdale, Kitsap county. Has about 5 tent spots with picnic tables and fire pit. Had a bathroom but no other amenities- drinking water, shower, firewood/ice for sale. Can be noisy due to dirt bike traffic. Escape the city and enjoy the outdoors while recluse to home and comforts.
TravelerNice clean camping area with easy access to multiple trails and logging roads. Trails are open to hiking horseback riding and motorcycles. Camp ground has multiple horse stalls in a common area. Only open on weekends.
GuideVery secluded, deep wood camping. About an hour on unpaved road until you get to the actual camp but the drive is gorgeous! Old growth and new baby trees line the roads and there’s about 10+ little streams along the way. The bugs weren’t too bad with citronella bracelets and candles but bring bug spray if you like. There’s river access and lots of trails to explore. There’s even horse trails and a huge horse stall area for a group site/horse trailer.
We drove past 3 piles of bear scat along the dirt road into the campground, which was fine. Our dog growled into the woods a couple of times while on some nature walk which was a little worrisome but with the right tools, actions and preventative things we were fine.
RangerIt’s right in the floodplain, so it is only enjoyable when it is not rainy season. This campground is south of Duvall, which is an affluent town with shops and things to do. The campground is next to a classy laundromat, and I say classy because it’s probably one of the nicest laundromats in the area that even has a dumpsite for RVs. There’s not a lot of privacy for the campsites. Good location for parking and exploring the east side of Lake Washington cities or access to mountains and hiking on I90.
GuideDungeness Recreation Area is known as the portal to the Dungeness Spit, but there is a lot more to discover before you arrive at the National Wildlife Refuge. Picnic on the bluff, watch the shipping lanes and catch a glimpse of Mt. Baker. Providing the starting point of a great adventure, the 216-acre Park offers many amenities. The virtues include a 1-mile long scenic bluff trail with picnic sites, a pocket picnic area, a group picnic area with shelter, and equestrian trails.
There is a 5.5-mile natural sand spit which is the longest in the country, and serves as a peaceful place to go for a walk along the beach. The narrow strip of land juts out from the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula and encloses the beautiful Dungeness Bay.
The Dungeness County Campgrund is clean and the camping spots are private. There are 66 campsites. No utilities at campsites. The campground is located on a bluff above the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is open all year long. There was a picnic table and fire pit available at each site. Clean bathrooms and pay showers. There is firewood available to purchase from the campground host. (cash only).
GuideWhat a beautiful place! The campground is in 500+ acre Tolt-McDonald Park, far enough away from any busy road so that there is no traffic noise, just the sound of the Tolt River rapids. All the RV sites are drive-through, with water and 20, 30, and 50-Amp service. (There is a privately-run RV dump on the way to the park.) The sites are wide because of the driveway. No trees between sites, but some bushes between sites offer some privacy for the back half of the sites. The 17 RV sites are around a huge lawn, with the restroom building at one end, and a path down the middle that is part of a long, level, paved bike/walking trail. There is a shower in each restroom, so the whole building is heated (which was really nice, since the lows were in the 30s in April, 2022) Access to both rivers is at the South end of the RV loop. There are tent-only sites to the North, and also yurts and more tent sites across a picturesque foot bridge over the Snoqualmie River. There are carts available to roll your stuff over the footbridge.
ScoutNice open sites with space for multiple vehicles or trailers. Easy access to ORV trails. Expect lots of noise from off-road vehicles and music.
GuideLangley is a great little town. I don’t know why they haven’t done more to develop the campground- all sites are first-come-first served. They did repair the electrical system this year and just reopened. It’s at the fairgrounds on the edge of town, there’s a largely unlandscaped grass field with electrical boxes & (some) water connections. There is a dump out on site and potable water. There are accessible bathrooms and showers nearby. The campground is on a hill above the horse barn and arena, very convenient to the town of Langley, which is delightful. No camp host available, nobody you can call for assistance. Because the campground just reopened, we were the only ones camped most of the 6 days we were here. I love Langley but they are not as tourist-driven as many towns which have campgrounds like this.
GuideJust go for a walk out the spit to get a unique perspective of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This is a USFWS refuge and campground,so if your into seabirds, this is the place to go. Dungeness gets the least amount of rainfall for western Washington, so don't be surprised if it's sunny.
Horseback riding trails wind through forested hills at campgrounds near Silverdale, Washington, creating ideal conditions for equestrian camping. Situated on the Kitsap Peninsula, this area lies west of Seattle with numerous trails through dense evergreen forests at elevations between 300-500 feet. Campsites often feature well-maintained trails connecting to hundreds of miles of multi-use paths through Department of Natural Resources land.
Trail riding through connected systems: At Collins Campground, riders can access miles of connected trails. "There are some great trails in the area as well. The Duckabash trailhead is a short drive from the campground and took two great hikes there during my stay," notes one visitor who enjoyed exploring the area.
Waterfall exploration: Take a short hike from camp to discover hidden waterfalls. "There is a hike with a trailhead 2 miles from the campsite. We walked there and it was a milder way walk uphill to the trail head and then the .8 mile hike heads to a pretty waterfall which you can walk behind," reports a camper at Collins Campground.
Multi-use trail access: Motorcycle enthusiasts share trails with equestrians at Kammenga Canyon Campground. A visitor explains: "Nice open sites with space for multiple vehicles or trailers. Easy access to ORV trails." This makes the area suitable for groups with diverse outdoor interests.
River proximity: Many equestrian sites offer water access for cooling off after rides. "The Duckabash river runs along most of the sites. There is a good amount of space between most campsites," writes a Collins Campground visitor who appreciated the natural waterfront.
Spacious sites for horse trailers: Tahuya River Campground provides ample parking for trailers. A camper notes it's a "Nice campground it's pretty open but nice and quiet," making it suitable for those traveling with horses and equipment.
Off-season availability: Horse camps often have openings when other campgrounds fill up. One visitor to Sage Horse Camp (formerly Layton Hill) mentioned: "We came here around 9pm on a Friday as we couldn't get any first come spots elsewhere in the area... We were happy to have found this and glad we could get a site last minute!"
Access road conditions: Some equestrian camping areas have challenging roads. A visitor to Collins Campground cautions: "Disclaimer: the road from highway 101 to the campground has SO MANY potholes. Big ones that we had to navigate in our RV but nothing that made it too hard to access the campground."
Limited facilities: Many horse camps offer basic amenities. At Green Mountain, a camper reports: "Had a bathroom but no other amenities- drinking water, shower, firewood/ice for sale." Plan to bring everything you need.
Weather considerations: The Olympic Peninsula climate affects camping conditions. "It rained but was a beautiful and oh so green area to camp," mentioned a visitor who appreciated the verdant surroundings despite precipitation.
Trail difficulty assessment: Before heading out with children, check trail ratings. A visitor to Tolt MacDonald Park suggests: "Located in walking distance to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge ($3 family admission/day or with National Parks Pass), we found this campground to be just what we were looking for! A family campground with cheap and clean showers."
Pack extra supplies: Facilities can be unpredictable. One camper at Collins Campground advised: "Really beautiful little camping spot. Whimsical river access. No drinking water access I could find and the directions said to get water from the near by trail head pump but that pump is broken so bring water or a filter."
Activity alternatives: Have backup plans for non-riding family members. A Sage Horse Camp visitor mentioned: "The area is beautiful and was a good base for a hike and going to the lavender farms in town," highlighting nearby attractions when not on horseback.
Site selection for trailers: Choose spots with sufficient turn-around space. At Dungeness Recreation Area, a camper appreciated that "Campground was located a short walk away from bluffs overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca and British Columbia. Beautiful sunset views!"
Utility considerations: Most equestrian sites lack full hookups. One RVer at Dungeness Recreation Area noted: "The campsites do not have electricity, water or sewer but on the other hand are rather inexpensive ($26 a night). There is a dumpsite on the way out of the park convenient for RVers who dry camped."
Leveling preparation: Bring leveling blocks as horse camps often have uneven terrain. "Dirt road, lots of potholes, lots of fun," commented a visitor about the access routes to Tahuya River Campground, indicating the need for proper preparation.
