Lake Sylvia State Park Campground

This park is within 15 miles of home. Quiet with a few lakeside spots for dry camping. Fishing swimming. Hiking. Boat ramp.

This little park ended up being cute. $41 a night for non residents (which is on the higher end for us) but 30 for residents. We needed a quick place to stay while waiting to get our truck fixed in the morning. It’s small, quiet and the host were great. Apparently they charged for showers but had a sign up stating they longer charge for that. Restrooms were clean and showered were hot! Would stay here again if I were in a pinch this way again.

This is our all time favorite campground. Phone service is non-existent and we had att Verizon cricket and straight talk but it does have free WiFi. Only downside is we can't get our big camper in there and have to use our small one. It is the place we go to camp since we're full timers we have stayed some of all 12 months and many of the sites

We just needed a place to sleep for one night before taking off early in the morning. We had a campervan so didn’t need to use any facilities. All the sites were full but the kind ranger took pity and let us park overnight in the parking lot area.

It’s quiet. A little breezy today. Site 10 is pretty level

Camped over the long weekend. Tent camping. Was in spot 28 which is not on lake side. Found that there is little privacy between sites. The bathroom is showing its age though the shower is free. The campground is dog friendly. It is pretty quiet campground.

This campground was so unique. The sites along the water didn’t have hookups but they were like your own personal beach! There were lots of fisherman. We had a spot further in the loop with hookups but we had a little view. There is lots to explore here.

Stopped here on our way to the WA coast. It’s so peaceful, we stayed two nights. Many campsites are right on the small lake. The state park trails connect with City of Montesano trails giving a nice range of options for hiking and mountain biking.

We love camping here. Lake Sylvia is great for our SUP's and the kids to swim. Only 4 sites with power and water. No sewer. Rest of spots you need generator is you have camper. Reserve early as fills up quick. Particularly the spots bordering lake.

Great place to swim. Most camp spots are on the lake. Steps away. Water is the coastal brackish brown but warm and surprisingly clear.

Stayed 3 nights. Electric + Water. Used dump on departure. Dump sit is graded and tips the wrong way ( down in front and away from sewer port) so prepare for that as you pull in to dump.

I would deff camp here again super clean and we'll kept up and cleanliness was outta the park. Super secluded sites and awesome scenary!!

The campground was basically completely empty when I stayed as a walk-up in early March. Good cell service, coin operated showers. The bathrooms were clean enough, just of lower quality- weathered cement floors and metal plates instead of mirrors. Some sites are right on the water. Not a ton of privacy between sites. I often saw people on walks through the park, it’s very close to a small town. I felt safe here and enjoyed my stay.

This camp site is actually on the south end the lake. Pretty nice along the water with restroom and coin operated showers . quiet during the winter it seems.

We love this place! We’ve come back a few times and always have a great time. It’s beautiful and the lake is fantastic for kayaking and fishing. We even saw otters!

Great facility and nice lake. If you can, spots 5 and 23 look amazing. Close to the lake and a little more private than the others. 33 is right next to the bathroom and dumpsters, so you get a smell from time to time. But the whole place and lake were very nice.

Set in a former logging camp above the town of Montesano, park life revolves around a large swimming and fishing lake. This site is super family friendly and pet friendly too.

There is a playground on site and TONS of old logging roses turned bike trails.

There are plenty of tent and RV sites and s few primitive sites for campers. There are showers a flushing toilets.

Pros: great area on top of a hill that looks down towards the water, nice lake with fishing, easy trails beach area, kids playgrouns Cons: bathroom is way down the hill, not much to do in the area, can’t bring your vehicle in the group camp so have to lug your things from outside of the camp are

Amazing place to camp for families! Nice sites, clean restrooms, swimming, kayaking, a playground, and miles of trails!

This campground has been a family favorite. It's beautifully, peaceful and everyone can have fun here, whether you ride your bike, swim, fish or hike. It's a close to home spot that we love to visit often.

There were far more RV sites in the loop we stayed (site 25) but being right next to the lake was wonderful. We had plenty of vegetative separation between us and our neighbors which was great.
