    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Nice State Park with Plenty to Do. Lake, Hiking, Store.

    This is a very nice, typical Washington state park with plenty of trees, greenery, hiking, pathways and even a lake. There's a camp store along with several large outdoor kitchens that would be good to use for groups. Many of the structures like the kitchens and even bathrooms were built back in the 1930s by the CCC, which is pretty cool. It's just far enough off I-5 to not have the freeway noise, but close enough to be convenient. It's also nearby to Great Wolf Lodge if you're looking for a place to stay near there.

    On the other hand, the RV sites especially are basically in a big field with a cement road going around it. The sites have tables and fire pits, but no privacy what-so-ever. The tent sites are slightly better, with more trees, but still very close to one another.

    The campground also has glamping available (canvas permanent tents) that looked cool.

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    Nice place

    Beautiful spot, though tightly packed and crowded/noisy. We stayed in spot 59 on a Saturday night. It was rainy and the fire pit area had plenty of puddles. Lots of folks came in later in the evening with multiple cars and sat out talking; plenty of them packed up and left before 8 am. We walked the fen trail, which was spooky and different from our home of Colorado! Reservations needed. There are also glamping cabins. Nice clean bathrooms with flush toilets, water available at multiple locations, showers available with tokens.

    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.

    Dash Point State Park Campground

    Easily accessible

    I love how easy it is to get to this campground from tacoma. The beach is great and the amenities are great! But it’s quite busy and loud.

    Fun Family Getaway

    If you are in Tacoma and dont have a chance to get to the East side or the coast, head to Dash Point. Just twenty minutes from Tacoma, Dash Point has a great camp ground and yurts a plenty for a quick getaway. Easy water access and lots of trails to explore make it very family friendly.

    Close but still near everything

    I only drove from Tacoma, which is about 1 hour 10 min away. The site was nice, great view of the water and The Ballard Locks. I’m pretty sure we paid about $35/night for Friday/ Saturday at the end of July. Nice beach, clean restrooms. We would/will go back

    Millersylvania State Park Campground

    A close get away

    I have camped here a number of times over the years. This is a nice woodsy campground just south of Olympia, WA located on Deep lake. It has a very old growth forest feel to it. This campground offers many activities: hiking trails, fitness trails,fishing, boat rental, and even a concession stand. The fishing is good for trout,bass, and sun fish. This park offers both hookup and non utility tent sites as well as glamping tents.

    Cons: most of the hookup sites are in a field with zero privacy but there are a few that are much better like the last spot I stayed at.

    The primitive sites are better but the roads are quite narrow with limited access for RV's.

    The "Glamping tents"are very nice but crazy expensive at over $300 a night. Like most of the State Parks reservations book up quickly so it pays to plan ahead

    Pros: fishing is pretty good even from shore. The day use area is great but pretty rustic. Lots of trails to hike but not as well marked as I would expect. Really close to Seattle so it is ideal for a weekend getaway Friday after work.

    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
