Margaret McKenny Campground

The caretakers, Steve and Ginny, are great folks. They cared for the campground well and I always felt safe and at home. Thanks so much for a great stay. I'll be back! Now for the logistics. Verizon cell service is virtually nonexistent for data, but I always had the ability to do emails and texts.. But, I found if I placed my cell ... more

I thought this was a pretty good campground for free. I liked how it is close to the town of Tumwater, so easy to get supplies, drinking water, throw trash out and grocery shop. Drive out there is paved, pleasant, tree lined and pretty. It was not the most quiet campground as there were orv, gun shots from the target range close by an... more

The Park hosts are super friendly, helpful and live on site. Good for families and great for equestrians. Plenty of space between sites. Beautiful sites that accommodate horses and a parking lot for trailers that won’t fit. Sites have a fire pit, a picnic table and lots of space. We carried our own drinking water and there is s creek... more

This was my first spot I boondocked at when starting the RV life back in May 2017. Area was clean and all you need is a WA State Discover Pass to stay here for free. Just register your spot and vehicle on arrival. I have a 25 foot Class C so was a bit tricky in some areas (the first loop) to back into, but it worked. If you keep fol... more

About a 25 minute drive from hwy 101 on paved roads, this campground has 3 loops with approximately 8 sites per loop. Loop A is the first and closest loop to the entrance and was the only one open when we arrived in early November 2017. Loop B is the prettiest, with more spacious sites. Sites in loop C are clustered around a fenced ... more

This was a nice spot to camp for a couple days heading up to Olympic National Forest. You are suppose to get a Discover Pass to camp here which cost $35 for the year. The camp hosts never did ask about it. The campsites are a bit tight to fit our rig into. The big spots were all ready taken. We did find a nice tight spot in the C l... more

We came there on a Friday around dinner and all the sites were full already. It is a pretty popular place with locals. There were lots of horses, which is not so great if you have a dog that is not used to them. You need to purchase a Discovery Pass ($30/year) to camp here. Not worth it if you are spending only a night, but well worth ... more

Located very few miles west of I5, just south of Tumwater, WA. Clean, quiet boondocking. Nearby timber harvests leave plenty of firewood within walking distance. Camping with a 38' MH, easy access to most sites. Picnic tables & firepits. Camped in Augst/Sept so sites very dusty. Nearby hiking trails. Some sites reserved for campers wi... more
