GuideNice campground, well maintained and rangers often patrol the campsite loops. Bathrooms are nice but dated, but quite expensive campground. Paying in-person was $49 for an RV spot with utilities, but booking online was $69 for the same site. Can be busy on the weekend.
ScoutFirst off you get what you pay for it's cheap but you're packed like sardines in a gravel lot that looks trashy as hell I didn't go in the restrooms because they don't have stuff there till after 6:00 p.m. so I was terrified by how disgusting they might be on top of it the owner is quite possibly the rudest most inconsiderate and unempathetic human I've ever encountered he gaslit the hell out of me he insulted my intelligence he lied about our conversations that place is so shady there's no checking or check out time written on their forms they will just make up a time that seems appropriate and then if you don't respond and how they like they'll tell you that you have to leave I thought it was just me but after moving to a beautiful Campground I talked to two out of their individuals that told me that they basically told him to F off and they would find somewhere else really horrible business practices and his sister is just as rude as he is trashy place with Shady practices and Shady people running it. Also if you're one that noise bothers you you will hate this because it's right on the highway and you can hear everything from every spot in the park. Especially if you're looking for nightly you can go down the street to the one they recommended and pay $18 less a night for way more beautiful place
ScoutI wanted to like this campground, but I wouldn’t stay here again for more than maybe one night.
There are signs EVERYWHERE warning about theft, which immediately tells you something about the area. I didn’t have anything stolen, but I was extremely careful about what I left out.
The biggest problem is that you’re basically on your own after hours. There is no campground host, no posted after-hours ranger number, and no non-emergency number at the campground or through the park’s phone system. The staff hours also seem very limited and inconsistent. I arrived around 6:30 PM and nobody was there, and staff didn’t seem to return until around 9–10 AM.
The bathrooms were dirty, out of toilet paper, and the showers were cold. One morning there was a large unleashed dog in the women’s bathroom that growled at me while its owner was showering. I believe she may have been homeless and using the facilities. Again, there was nobody around to contact about it.
Another night, people were extremely loud until almost midnight. Same problem: no host, no ranger and no non-emergency number. Unless something is serious enough for 911, you’re left to deal with it yourself.
There are also a lot of homeless people and visible drug addicts/drug activity around Federal Way. I had been warned about the area before coming here, and I understand why.
The park itself is pretty and might be fine for a quick overnight stay, but for multiple nights, I wouldn’t recommend it. Between the theft warnings, lack of after-hours staff, weird staffing hours, and no way to report non-emergency problems, I never really felt comfortable settling into my campsite.
GuideQuiet campground! Beautiful rainforest features. No showers. Clean flush toilet restrooms. Welcoming and friendly camp host. Long drive off 101 to get here.
TravelerI stayed there for one night on my way back to Seattle, and it was perfect for what I needed. Very quiet back there. The people were all super nice and accommodating. They had a dump site, restrooms outside and heated restrooms attached to the office area. I really loved that two of the permanent residents would do security at night as well. Being a woman and traveling alone, that made me feel very safe. Highly recommend this place!
GuideQuiet, but we were here mid week in late August….
LegendWe stayed here for a short overnight as we made our way up the Olympic Peninsula to Port Townsend. Nice park with a some trails right from the campground. We enjoyed the Maple Valley loop. There are elk at Dosewallips but we didn’t see any. Some road noise from our site (21) and heard a low-flying helicopter in the morning. Shower water pressure was a bit low and the water not hot enough.
TravelerThis is a beautiful state park with plenty of bathrooms, showers, and water points. There are plenty of full hookup RV spots, non-hookup TV spots, and tenet camping sites. There is a playground for kids, easy access beach area for swimming and paddle boarding, and pathways for pleasant walks.
I stayed on the beach loop at site 142. It was sunny during the day with nice shade in the evening. A blackberry patch right behind me was just beginning to ripen.
Great place for families with a loop for the kids to cruise on their bikes.
TravelerUsually, I have a complaint, but there are no complaints.
Tahuya sits on the Kitsap Peninsula with nearby Hood Canal offering a saltwater fjord ecosystem that attracts diverse marine wildlife. The area receives around 60 inches of annual rainfall creating lush, dense forests interspersed with numerous freshwater streams and rivers. Most campgrounds in the region sit at elevations between 200-800 feet above sea level, creating moderate temperature variations between day and night.
**Shellfish harvesting: Access public tidelands at Dosewallips State Park Campground where campers can collect oysters and clams in season. "Been coming to this state park for as long as I can remember. There's so many activities to do; clamming, shrimping, hiking, hunting for oysters," notes Shariah T. about Dosewallips State Park Campground.
**River exploration: Wade into the Hamma Hamma River at multiple access points. "On a warm summer day there are some great swimming holes that are actually warm enough to enjoy! The sites are mostly private, and large," reports Melissa J. from Hamma Hamma Campground.
**Lake swimming: Visit Deep Lake at Millersylvania where the shallow swimming area works well for families with young children. "The beach is the main attraction and it is hopping. We went early in the morning and staked a claim and were happy all day. There is a nice shallow area and two large swimming areas as well as a fishing dock," shares Ellen T. from Millersylvania State Park.
**Forest isolation: Camp among old-growth trees for true wilderness atmosphere. "Spacious secluded campsites along the gorgeous green glacial waters. We had a fantastic time this weekend and will definitely be back again and again!" writes Holly about Staircase Campground.
**Beach access: Camp within walking distance of Hood Canal beaches. "Very popular spot on the canal. Lots of pull through sites. Hook ups with dump station. Not too far from the cities and just outside of town," notes Richard M. from Belfair State Park Campground.
**Yurt camping: Book elevated yurt accommodations at Coho Campground for solid platforms and canvas walls. "We walked by the yurts, will definitely have to book those next time!" says Doris W. about her experience at Coho. For those interested in yurt camping near Tahuya, Washington, reservations should be made 9-12 months in advance for summer weekends.
**Weather preparation: Plan for variable conditions even in summer months. "It rained one of the mornings and ended up with a puddle under our text but it was the last day so no loss. I think next time I'll try and rent a cabin when I stay here," advises Becky R. about Belfair State Park.
**Remote locations: Stock up on supplies before heading to campgrounds far from services. "Coho campground is a wonderful spot but it is a 35 miles off of the highway. If you go, pack everything you need. There are no stores or gas stations once you hit the paved road to the campground," warns Jeff C.
**Campsite privacy: Research specific site layouts before booking. "The campsite was clean. The hook ups were easy. Quiet. We went mod week, but the neighbors were basically un-heard. Very respectful neighbors," reports Courteney S. from Belfair State Park.
**Kid-friendly swimming: Choose campgrounds with gradual-entry beach access. "The beach was great, water is rather warm for in the sound, it's also pretty shallow which is great for the kids to play in," suggests Leah H. from Belfair State Park Campground.
**Wildlife viewing: Visit Dosewallips State Park's observation platforms in early morning or evening. "Every night, my husband and I would walk to the wildlife viewing platform to see lots of birds, or walk down by the river and see lots of elk and bald eagles," explains Amy & Stu B. from Dosewallips State Park.
**Budget activities: Take advantage of ranger programs and self-guided nature walks. "The grounds were well-kept and there were plenty of things for children and families to do in the immediate vicinity," reports Amber H. about Staircase Campground.
**Site selection: Check exact dimensions before booking RV sites. "Even when the campground is full on the weekend it doesn't seem crowded. Lake noise from powerboats, even though there is no speed limit on the lake, is rarely an issue," shares Jeff C. about Coho Campground.
**Hookup variety: Choose full-hookup options at Dosewallips for longer stays. "RV sites are blacktop and level. Some sites have partial hookups w/o septic. Dump station is on site," notes James and Susan K.
**Seasonal considerations: Book waterfront sites at Belfair between May-September for best experience. "Often our first or last trip of the year, due to its proximity to the greater Seattle area. Small sites with little privacy but very well kept for a heavily used park," mentions Doug about the waterfront loop at Belfair State Park.
