My wife and I have been living in our camper for a few years staying at upwards of around 20 different RV parks from coast to coast. Lake Sawyer RV resort has placed #1 on the worst parks we’ve encountered list. There’s actually no other parks in it’s class!
The manager is running the place in such a shady manner that one of the front desk ladies told me even she doesn’t agree with their business practices. It was a nightmare right out of the gate but luckily I have a backbone and don’t let people dig into my wallet or jerk me around so they figured out the hard way you can’t steal from everybody.
Watch for them to drag their feet on your long stay application so they can charge you a ridiculous nightly rate for their “deluxe site” which had broken electrical receptacles and cracked water pipes.
As soon as they do approve you, they’ll ask you to move to a different site. If you confront them about why they would put you in a daily site when they knew your intentions were to stay long term their excuse will be, “there was a mix up between different departments”. Departments 😂 it’s just 3 ladies working there!
They also tried to start my time the day before I got there and will write down your CC info without your consent.
They are one of the only rv parks in the greater Seattle area with vacancy and now you know why.

This is a big park that is part of Thousand Trails. No sales pitch to join, which was nice. Rangers were super nice. Bathrooms very new and clean. Lots of trees between sites. Hard to find one in the sun if that is what you are looking for. Looked like lots of long term campers. Very quiet. We enjoyed see the surrounding area - Beaver Lake Park, Carnation, Fall City. Didn't make it to Snoqualmie Falls, maybe next time.
ScoutThis is very much an RV park and not really a campground. Seems like a clean little park, but right in the middle of Lynnwood, so if you are looking for a rural setting this isn't for you.
They offer weekly and monthly rentals, so this is more of a long-term sort of place.

This RV park has full-hook up and dry camp sites for SKP members.
The location is a bit remote hence very quiet. I like that it's only about 10-12 minutes to Port Townsend, a bustling everything-you-could-possibly want hip town. Perfect for my tastes and needs. I dry camp which costs $7.50/nt.
Works for me!
Guide
There aren’t many rv parks that are close (35ish mins) to Seattle but this is the best option. Office staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean, laundry is cheap ($1 wash), maintenance staff is constantly tending to the grounds, full hook ups, and cute (short) hiking paths surrounding the park. The lake is more of a murky pond and the geese are happy residents here so expect a lot of goose poop at any spot near the water. There’s also no dog park.
LegendWonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets.
We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all.
Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.
Guide
It is an open fairground with rv hookups.
ScoutWe picked tall chief because it was close to home for our first trip with new trailer, it was end of july 2020 online reservation were easy,got there and they were real nice and helpfull. Is thick trees and open spaces dudent give 5 stars because some of the full timers there space looks trashy!,and they need to clean up but everything else seemed good,if not a member of thousand trails or encore it can be expensive.
Scout
If you just need a place to sleep, then it will do. Set up, do your thing, and move on. They will squeeze you into any corner left - literally.
But to stay, no way. The place is too muddy, the laundry room and showers are little better than free public sites. If you have to be in Seattle there are not many options. That's how they get away with such dingy offerings. They just want your money: charge a lot for sites, hope you will buy something in the boutique, and they do not spend any of it on basic structure (like fixing broken roads)
The bird sanctuary adjacent is also a bug factory. One person claimed 'this is not camping'. That's right. It's a cheap way to travel. And for some migrant workers, a cheaper way to live. The park is full of old RV's, permanently parked.
The staff is annoyed to deal with customers.
If anyone should be able to set up a new RV park, customers would flock to it! They'd leave this dump in a heart beat!!
As my grandma used to say, 'all dressed up with a dirty neck'. In other words, first clean yourself up. The dress nicely. This place dresses up with cute signs - but underneath its falling apart.
Fix the roads and learn that your customers are your best asset. Be happy to greet them and care for them. That is the secret to a long term business.
Legend
Called and talked to the team at midway today inquiring about guests coming into town. They’re a long term only location with 6 months or more as the minimum stay. They recommend angle lake RV down the street which I’ll add to the app next. Nice staff at Midway if you need long term!
Scout
The RV park is next to the beach with nice full hookup pull through sites. I would stay here again.
Traveler
A new and clean RV resort about 1 hour from Seattle.
Big shower spaces for free.
Coffee and cafe on side.
Gas stations and McDonalds next to the resort 1 mile from town of Sultan
Legend
Cute little place. Laundry, fishing pond and restrooms. Looks like mostly long term
Scout
This is a great RV resort. The picture on the app is not at all what this place looks like. A Quiet oasis tucked into the forest. The new and clean bathrooms and showers were a real treat after a 2100 mile journey from Texas. Staff was super helpful when we called and helped us reserve our spot. Hookups were easy but there is no cable tv hookups which we didn’t need. There are some permanent residents here but their places were clean and tidy. We sat out and had cocktails until after midnight doing our best to be quiet but I know several times we might have been a little loud. Our neighbor never said a word. This is a great place and if we ever have the need again and are close by, we certainly will be back.
Guide
This small campsite is worth a visit. Breath taking view of the ocean and just minutes to the ferry. Book early if you need or want full hook up as there are limited sites with full hook up available.
ScoutThey require you to cancel 7 days prior to your trip. If you do not, they take your money and offer no refund. Not even hotels do this. I had a situation where my daughter wasn't going to go to her softball tournament(which was the reason I was staying at the campground). The team had to back out 3 days prior. I only made the reservation 4 days ago, tried to cancel, was informed they wouldn't give me my$ back. Basically, since I made the reservation 4 days prior to the trip, with their horrible policy, I couldn't EVER cancel and get my$ back. Customer service doesn't matter to these people. It's all about taking your$. I would recommend finding another place to camp. This was in Late September so not even peak season. We camped at Lake Sawyer RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.
TravelerFantastic spot to stay or pass through to fill up/empty. They have water, propane, and a dump. They also have great long-term rates.

Great WA State Park located on Marrowstone Island in Port Hadlock WA.
47 dry camping and smaller trailer camp sites in Upper Camp area with 68 FHU sites in Lower Camp area on Port Townsend Bay.
With pre-Covid recreation sites for Kayaking, boating, scuba diving, paragliding and fishing - this was quite a unique Historical State Park.
Reservations are handled through the WA State Parks reservation system. Day use Discovery Pass is required for access ($10 or $30 annually). Located adjacent to the US Naval Magazine on Indian Island.
Traveler
Full hook up and amenities
TravelerWe reserved a space for 1 night the day before. Great communication with Brett, everything went really smooth. The facilities are great and very clean, the park very quiet. There are a lot of big rigs parked there, some of the pm long-term as it seems. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely visit again.
Scout
There are several long term campers here. The grounds are kept immaculate and they regularly update the sites. They hang wreaths for the winter holidays. Lawns mowed weekly.
All are level gravel. All have grass area, some with patio pad. There is a dog walk area and they are currently creating a dog fenced area at the end orf the two rows.
A caretaker is on site and will often help guide rigs into the sites (all are back-in).
Close to Poulsbo (a cute, Norwegian heritage town), Seattle ferry via Bainbridge Island and just over an hour to the Olympic National Park via the Hood Canal Bridge.
Scout
Staff was very friendly. We stayed in the overflow site directly next to the office with 20 amp electric only. Campground is well-maintained and very clean. Sites are a little close together, but you do have some green space with a picnic table at each site. Each site is full hook up with water, electric and sewer, and there is not a separate dump station. There are some permanent residents throughout the campground.
TravelerBeautiful state park with the lower campsite open year round, with full hook up sites. Offered on a first come first serve basis over the winter months. During the summer months reservations are required.
Traveler
RV Park for all size trailers, Class A and Class C motor homes. Restrooms, showers, Office, near a small gas station called The Lake Goodwin Store and a Restaurant Pub called The Paddle Pub that has a Cafe next door which sells espresso, icecream and pastries.
Guide
RV sites 1, 2, 4, 9, and 11 will be easier to back in to. The other full hook up sites are 90° approaches. Very nice park for playground and a very nice venue building. A lot of picnic tables in the open and in the shade of trees.
Small rocky beach only accessable when the is not to high.
Amazing view from the beach of the Olympic Mountains.
Water pressure is low, averaging just over 20psi.
GuideI travel in my rv to get away from the city life. Most KOAs are pretty cool. This one has to be the worst KOA I’ve ever stayed in. Packed in trailers like sardines. Your view is your neighbors sewer line. Run down spots, dead grass, mole hills, bathrooms are unclean. Right on a busy highway and you can hear it. I bought the “deluxe site” for 65$ a night!! No WiFi, no cable, nothing worked!! It is a nightmare of an RV park. I had originally booked for 6 nights and stayed for 1 and left because it was depressing.
Guide
I live 5 miles from this park and am here all the time, just not for camping. I came for one night to do a shakeout in my new to me trailer. My husband came to be my second set of eyes as I set up camp and to entertain our kiddo while I made dinner. Then we drove him home since he had to work in the morning. Several reviews complain about the airplane noise overhead, but I live in Federal Way and cargo planes from JBLM often fly over my house so some commercial airlines don't bother me one bit. I was in a pull-through full hook-up site. I did not hook up the sewer hose however because the lid was broken and I would have had to find a large rock to hold my elbow in place. All in all, it's a nice campground and was quiet. I didn't even hear the cars on road.
