Why Make a Reservation
If you're planning to camp during the busy summer months, you can reserve a campsite, yurt, cabin, other rustic shelter, vacation house, group camp or group day-use facility in more than 50 Washington state parks. While drop-in campers are always welcome as long as space is available, reservations offer peace of mind in traveling to distant parks or camping in popular parks.
The table at the end of this section provides a comprehensive list of Washington State Parks' individual and group campsites, as well as day-use facilities. The table indicates whether the campsites and/or facilities are available on a first-come, first-served basis or if they can be reserved through the park, by phone or through this Web site.
Additional State Parks rental places are available.
Be prepared before you go online or call to make your reservations. Please have available your credit card number, park and site preferences (please have alternatives), arrival and departure dates, and specific customer information for each site you wish to reserve – camper's name, address, phone number, e-mail address (for quick confirmation) and tent/RV equipment type. If you are unsure of your needs or plans, call our information center at (360) 902-8844 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
If you want to book several sites, be sure to tell the operator at the beginning of the call so the sites can be locked. This will ensure that you have the sites available to reserve before the processing begins.
You can reserve a campsite, yurt, cabin or other rustic shelter, pay with a credit or check card and browse campsite availability maps and park facilities on Washington State Parks' Web site. There is a $6.50 non-refundable reservation fee for all reservations made online. Reservations for group camps and day-use facilities may be made only by phone.
Reservations made online may be booked only one at a time. If the campsite you want is not available for the entire time you wish to camp, you may reserve a second campsite to complete your stay (also known as a split reservation). Split reservations can be made for a maximum of two campsites. If you book a split reservation by calling the reservations center, there will be only one reservation fee. However, if you make your reservation online, a reservation fee will be charged for each campsite you reserve. Washington State parks pass holders who receive free camping need to call the reservations center at (888) CAMPOUT or (888) 226-7688 to make a split reservation.
