Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Sumner, WA

Game Farm Wilderness Campground accommodates pets year-round within Auburn city limits. Situated along the Stuck River, this pet-friendly campground offers 18 sites with water and electricity hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits where dogs can relax alongside their owners. Dash Point State Park Campground maintains spacious, private sites that provide ample room for pets and their owners without feeling crowded. Sites are notably spread apart, creating a quieter environment for dogs who may be reactive to other animals or people. Leashed pets are welcome throughout both campgrounds, though owners should bring waste bags as pet stations are limited. The spacious sites at Dash Point feel isolated from each other, making them ideal for pets that need more space or privacy from neighboring campers.

Hiking trails surrounding Game Farm Wilderness Campground provide excellent pet exercise opportunities along the Stuck River. Dogs particularly enjoy the waterfront access, though owners should keep pets leashed when wildlife is present. Grove Getaways offers pet-friendly yurts and cabin accommodations with nearby trails but enforces a clothing-optional policy in shared areas like the hot tub, which may not suit all pet owners. South Prairie Creek RV Park provides year-round pet-friendly camping with riverside views, though its outdoor areas are limited and pets must remain leashed at all times. During summer months, early morning or evening walks are recommended to avoid hot pavement that can burn paw pads. The campground gates at Dash Point close at 10pm, requiring pet owners to plan evening walks accordingly.

    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!

    Silver Springs Campground

    New Favorite Spot

    This is my new favorite spot to camp in Washington. The spaces are well distributed, the location right next to the river is beautiful and the site staff were extremely gracious. I’d strongly recommend picking a number between 2 and 10 as those are the closest sights to the river if you’re looking to enjoy the sounds of the water. There is also a full bathroom at around the mid 20s if you’d prefer a functional toilet system.

    Ike Kinswa State Park Campground

    On Mayfield Lake

    The Mayfield Lake is the main attraction. Be sure to visit the day use area across the road for lake access with swimming, picnic, and a dog park on the water.

    Very good privacy for the standard campsite loop. Standard campsites are either pull through or back in.

    There's a trail around the edge of the lake in campsite loop. Find the point, you wont be disappointed.

    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.

    Holiday Park Military - Lewis McChord Base

    NW Adventure Center

    Excellent location for those with military access to the base - active duty, retired or family. 30/50 amp hookups. Beautiful views of American Lake. Pet friendly.

    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.
