Seattle camping
Dash Point State Park is south of SeaTac with good access to the I5 so easy access to Seattle andTacoma. We have also stayed at the Thalia Casino off the I5 by the outlet mall and just north of Seattle. There’s another casino just east of Seattle on the I90 that’s good too.

I like to stay at Tolt MacDonald Park campground in Carnation. Big sites and beautiful setting. Unfortunately, now they close the park for the winter starting in November. My last stay was at a nearby RV park, Tall Chief which is a 1000 Trails/Encore campground. I suppose if you already had a membership, it would be fine, but as a non-member I was charged $61 w/tax and it was not worth it.

Wow. We drove by this place a lot, never occur to me to it has a campground. Do you happen to know if this is a busy (needs reservation 3-6 months ahead) campground in the summer? like if we show up mid-week is it easy to get a site? Thanks!

It's not a big campground - it has only 28 RV sites. And it does fill in pretty fast in the summer so I generally try to reserve a month in advance

Has anybody stayed at Fay Bainbridge Park on Bainbridge Island? I have sites reserved in July for a week stay there. We are planning to do day trips into Seattle via ferry to take in several ball games and for shopping/restaurants. Hoping that things will work out for us.

Fay Bainbridge is wonderful. The sites are on the east side of the island, wide open, with views of Seattle, a long, long shore to walk along, and some very good restaurants in the downtown area.
Hope you have a grand time!

I've heard good things about Fay Bainbridge but since we live in Bremerton, we don't stay there as we like to get a little further from home. I will say to leave your car on the Bainbridge side. There is parking at the ferry dock. Seattle traffic is not worth it, particularly if your activities are mostly downtown. I generally walk, take a bus or use Lyft when we go to Seattle.

Yes, the plan for the most part is to leave the truck at the ferry terminal on the island and walk or taxi around downtown Seatle.

La Wis Wis. Too tight for big trailers & class A rigs except on loop A. You can squeeze a 21C through the other loops but you have to pick the right camp spots - many are barely big enough for a car. That said, it is a beautiful campground among some huge trees and is set at the confluence of two small rivers - the Ohanapecosh and the Clear Fork - which become the Cowlitz. Boondocking only with very limited sun exposure.

I have heard from friends that Gig Harbor RV Resort is nice but it is across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge which can be a tough go in traffic. Lake Pleasant RV Park in Bothell gets good reviews but we have never stayed there. Bothell is north end of Seattle metro area.

if I have to be close to Seattle gig harbor would be the one I would go to and yes I've stayed there.
