    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Flowing Lake Park & Campground's wooded sites accommodate tent campers, RV travelers, and cabin guests with pets. All campsites feature picnic tables and fire rings with most offering electric and water hookups. The park maintains clean shower facilities and flush toilets, though some visitors note occasional water temperature issues in the bathhouses. Tall Chief Campground near Fall City permits pets at their tent sites, RV spaces, cabins, yurts, and glamping accommodations. Thunderbird RV Resort along the Skykomish River allows pets with spacious riverside sites, though tent campers should note that camping spots are positioned close to the road where traffic noise can disturb overnight stays.

    Gold Basin Campground welcomes dogs on leashed walks through its forested trails along the Skykomish River. Verlot Campground provides access to numerous pet-friendly hiking paths in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Wallace Falls State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations where pets can join their owners, with trails connecting directly to the popular Wallace Falls hiking network. Pet owners should carry waste bags as facilities vary between campgrounds, with some lacking dedicated pet waste stations. Most campgrounds enforce standard leash policies requiring pets to remain on leashes no longer than six feet. During summer months, the blackberry patches around Wallace Falls provide an unexpected bonus for campers and their pets sharing outdoor adventures.

      Dash Point State Park Campground

      Dash Point Beach

      Really cute camp spot and play area!! Pet friendly and dog park! Went here on our trip to Tacoma north of the city. Very nice beach and area!! There's also a light house to check out while you are here!

      Old Cascades Highway Dispersed

      Hidden gem

      This place is the best free camping in Washington. Coming from the Skykomish direction I believe it’s the turnoff to the right, right before the bridge. The old Cascades Highway road is barely travelled at all and there is rushing river right along the campsite. There is service and other pull offs along the highway if this spot is taken. There’s some large rocks that you have to maneuver around but my Subaru Forester got around it just fine.

      Lake Pleasant RV Park

      Best option near seattle

      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.

      Riverfront RV Park

      Good!

      Good little RV park, within walking distance of a dog park, children's park and public bathrooms which is nice. Only downside is that there is not septic at the spots which for $40 a night I would think that they would, but the water is clean and overall the whole lot is nicely kept up with and clean.

      Evergreen Coho SKP Park

      For Escapee members only

      Wonderful 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.

      Riverfront RV Park

      Urban Camping At Its Best

      Great spot for an Overnighter on the road through quaint Sedro-Woolley WA, this spot contains amenities for all, along with RV parking and a handful of tent lots. If you care to go swimming it has easy access directly to the lake with a primitive boat launch meant for smaller, canoe-like, vessels. Clean Restrooms, no showers, but they have a stage and performances during the summer months and two Parks, meant for all ages! Surrounding areas to explore include a Dog Park just across the way, and a spooky hike among abandoned buildings which were once part of Northern State Mental facility. Be sure to take in the Train display at the Town’s enterance and have a great trip!

      Riverfront RV Park

      Off the beaten tracks

      Affordable stay  $25 @7/2020.    Closing at end of month for renovations.   

      Well kept large quiet park.  Great dg waking areas; including a dog park.  Some sites with trees for shade.   Hookups work.   Free city dump station within a mile; easy to access.  2 clean bathrooms; no shower.  Manager on site.   Gate locked by 10pm.   Access through older well kept neighborhoods.   Grocery store on main road.  Lorenzo-s was closed due to COVID; we ate their 10 years ago; mighty good rellanoes.   Gave it 4 as one toilet with very slow flush!   Perhaps renovations will solve that problem.  Perhaps showers will be included; they could charge more.

      Issaquah Village RV Park

      Parking lot feels

      This camp ground is not ideal if you have dogs. There is not much grass, in fact you have to go outside the park and across the street to hear compliant pet owner. We also found the electric box to be a little wonky. They office staff did have an adapter which help. It was very quiet and clean just not the most attractive campground.

      Jim Creek Wilderness Recreation Area

      Spacious sites, great price, lots of activities

      The prices for everything is amazing! The campsites are spacious and run along the creek! There are tent pads that make the ground not so hard under your tent. A table, grill and campfire ring at every site. The cabins are very nice! And are spacious as well. Have a porch swing, campfire ring, table and grill outside. Most cabins have an electric heater and a heat stove inside. The heat stove heats up the entire cabin very well!! They provide trash cans and bags and a broom to help keep the dirt cleaned up!

      The bathrooms are very nice and clean. And they have firewood for sale on site. There is an attendant that will be there after work hours for people who are arriving late to get you checked in and answer questions you have. There are a couple of hiking trails, twin lakes, boats, canoes, and bikes to rent on site. There is also an enclosed dog park on site. There are tent sites, cabins, rv sites and even little apartments to rent for your stay. Great place and only 25 miles from town!


    Guide to Sultan

    Camping options near Sultan, Washington provide access to the southern edge of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest at elevations ranging from 200 to 500 feet. The area receives approximately 60 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush forest conditions. Most campgrounds in the region remain open from May through October with limited winter accessibility.

    What to do

    River access: Verlot Campground sites are positioned along the South Fork Stillaguamish River where campers can enjoy wading, fishing, and relaxation. "We had a spot right by the South Fork Stillaguamish River. We fell sleep and woke up to river sounds and were able to walk down to it straight from our site," notes camper Liz A.

    Swimming spots: Gold Basin Campground offers multiple river access points with natural swimming areas. "The river is gorgeous, so get a site along the river obviously! Wildlife viewing abound," reports Andrea R. The campground provides large open fields for group activities and sports.

    Hiking trails: Multiple trail networks connect directly from campgrounds to longer routes. "Verlot Campground provides access to numerous pet-friendly hiking paths in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest," with one visitor noting it's "situated beside the pristine Sauk River & two miles below the trailhead for Lake Twenty Two."

    What campers like

    Spacious sites: Flowing Lake Park & Campground receives high marks for its site dimensions. "Lovely treed campground. Large sites!" says Lauren Hannah G., while Mindy P. adds "Great county operated campground campsites are spacious and private. Reserve ahead very popular especially during the summer."

    Cabin accommodations: For those seeking pet-friendly alternatives to tent camping, cabins offer solid shelter options. "We stayed in the Yurt. Everything worked," reports Chris A. about Tolt MacDonald Park, which also features container cabins. "They offer the typical primitive campsites with fire pits and picnic tables, as well as yurts and shipping container conversions," explains Mercedes D.

    Pet-friendly policies: Most campgrounds welcome pets with standard leash requirements. "The park maintains clean shower facilities and flush toilets," and many sites accommodate RVs, tents, and cabin guests with their pets. Dogs especially enjoy the riverside trails at Gold Basin Campground and the forested paths connecting campgrounds.

    What you should know

    Limited sewer hookups: RV campers should note most campgrounds lack full hookups. At Tall Chief Campground, "no sites have sewer hookups. This is fairly understandable though as it appeared that a service needs to pump the septic tank by the dump station for the entire park," explains Derek & Alex W.

    Bathroom facilities: Quality and availability vary by season and location. "The toilets were clean but dark, needed headlamps even if it was daylight and cloudy," reports Rain R. about Gold Basin. Many campgrounds offer shower facilities that may require tokens or quarters.

    Reservation requirements: Popular sites fill quickly, particularly river-adjacent spots. "Reserve ahead very popular especially during the summer," advises Mindy P. Weekends from June through September typically require advance booking at most established campgrounds.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Lake Pleasant RV Park offers family-friendly facilities. "We did not use the bathrooms, but enjoyed the walking trails, playground for the kids, and watching the resident ducks in the pond," shares Nikki R.

    Fall camping benefits: Autumn brings fewer crowds and beautiful scenery. "Fall camping here is beautiful," notes Mindy P. about Flowing Lake Park & Campground, which maintains its pet-friendly facilities year-round.

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: Multiple sites offer chances to observe local animals. Lake Pleasant RV Park has "Lots of geese, ducks, and bunnies are around the property," according to terri. Children especially enjoy these natural encounters while maintaining appropriate distance.

    Tips from RVers

    Power limitations: Most campgrounds offer 30-amp service rather than 50-amp. "Knocking another star as the majority of the sites are only 30 amp with antiquated posts," cautions Derek & Alex W. about Tall Chief Campground. RVers should prepare for potential power restrictions during summer heat.

    Water conservation strategies: Without full hookups, careful water management becomes necessary. "It DOES make you a bit more conscious of water usage though. We had to take showers at the facilities which are kept up fairly well," notes Derek about managing with limited tank capacity.

    Seasonal considerations: RV spots may limit generator use and require additional planning. "The park is very popular with the locals so it is important to reserve far in advance," advises Dene H. Year-round parks like Tolt MacDonald offer more consistent availability for last-minute trips with pets.
