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.

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

Best views
Views of Adams, Helens, Hood, Jefferson. Highest camp in Washington. Nice solar toilets. The hike up is quite difficult.

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.
Daniel L.GuideIke 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.
cheriana G.GuideLake 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.
