Campgrounds and RV parks near Fife, WA

Fife sits along Interstate 5 between Tacoma and Seattle at the head of Commencement Bay, which makes it a practical staging point for RV trips into the South Puget Sound, the Olympic Peninsula, and Mount Rainier country. Options within a short drive range from full-hookup commercial parks to Washington State Parks campgrounds on the saltwater shore. Majestic Manor RV Park is minutes from Interstate 5 and downtown Tacoma, with paved full-hookup sites geared to travellers using Fife as a base. On the King County shoreline to the north, Dash Point State Park sits on Puget Sound with 3,301 feet of saltwater shoreline and unobstructed views of the Sound, plus a mix of standard and utility sites. Saltwater State Park has a sandy beach two miles from Interstate 5, with a forested day-use area along McSorley Creek, tide pools and a driftwood shore, though its campground is currently closed while flooding and erosion projects are underway. Across the Tacoma Narrows, Gig Harbor RV Resort provides a full-service base for the peninsula. Southeast of Fife, toward the Mount Rainier foothills, South Prairie Creek RV Park offers a quieter setting near the Foothills Trail.

Washington State Parks sites are reserved through the state's central reservation system, and reservations at Dash Point State Park can be booked up to nine months in advance. A portion of sites are utility sites with hookups, and the park accommodates RVs and combinations of 32 feet or less in length, so measure your rig before booking. Saltwater State Park's campground is closed at this time due to flooding and erosion impacts, so check the Washington State Parks website for updates before planning an overnight stay. Day use still requires a Discover Pass on the vehicle. Private parks including Majestic Manor RV Park, Gig Harbor RV Resort, and South Prairie Creek RV Park are booked directly with the property by phone or through their websites. Summer weekends fill fast, so reserve as early as possible.
