Campgrounds near Grand Mound
Grand Mound sits along Interstate 5 in southwest Thurston County, about 15 miles south of Olympia. The community is best known as the home of Great Wolf Lodge and as a convenient base for exploring the southern Puget lowlands, the Chehalis River valley, and Capitol State Forest. For RV travelers, the area combines easy freeway access with quick reach to prairies, forest roads, and the Washington coast.
Lodging options run from full-hookup commercial parks to primitive forest sites. Midway RV Park II and similar farm-style parks just off I-5 in Grand Mound offer pasture views and a clean setting only minutes from Great Wolf Lodge and nearby medical centers. Riverside Golf Course and RV Park pairs hookups with an on-site golf course, while Evergreen Sportsmen's Club caters to members who shoot on the adjacent range.
For a more rugged stay, Capitol State Forest is a 110,000-acre recreation destination a short drive from Olympia, offering horseback riding at Mima Falls, 150 miles of trail, and several places to set up camp. Margaret McKenny - Department of Natural Resources sits inside that forest, and the day-use Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve protects the region's distinctive prairie landforms.
Things to do around Grand Mound
Mima Mounds Natural Area Preserve was established in 1976 to protect rare examples of mima mound landforms and Puget prairie grasslands, and includes a small Garry oak woodland and savannah along with Douglas-fir forest across 756 acres. A short, ADA-accessible half-mile paved loop leads to an interpretive shelter and observation deck with a view of the prairie, and a longer 1.5-mile gravel loop to the south explores the mounds with possible views of Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens on clear days.
Capitol State Forest offers horseback riding at Mima Falls, salmon spotting in McLane Creek, mountain biking at Rock Candy, and off-road-vehicle riding at Porter Creek. Great Wolf Lodge's indoor waterpark is a frequent stop for families, and the Chehalis River corridor offers fishing and paddling.
Day trips reach Olympia and the state Capitol, Mount Rainier, and the Pacific beaches at Westport and Ocean Shores.

The area's marine-influenced climate is mild, with warm, dry summers and cool but generally snow-free winters. Cloudy or rainy days tend to outnumber sunny ones during winter, spring, and fall. Summer is the prime RV window, bringing drier trails, open campgrounds, and reliable I-5 driving conditions. Off-road vehicles and horseback riders can only access Capitol State Forest trails from May 1 through November 30 to limit damage during wet months.
Spring brings wildflowers to the prairie. During late April through May, the mounded prairie reaches peak beauty due to a profusion of flowering forbs, with camas and other species cloaking the landscape in purples and blues. Prairie Appreciation Day is held annually on the second Saturday in May at Mima Mounds and the nearby Glacial Heritage Preserve, with Mima Mounds serving as the ADA-accessible site for the event.
Fall and winter are wet, and visitors should plan for soft ground and short daylight. Margaret McKenny and Middle Waddell campgrounds in Capitol State Forest will remain closed for the Summer 2026 season due to hazard trees from laminated root rot, so confirm status before planning a trip.

Really great RV that was easy to drive and worked really well. Lots of space with the pop out, AC blows cold and the heating is warm. Was very comfortable the whole time. Steve the host is great and took the time to show me how everything worked in detail and had me completely comfortable to go on my trip. Can’t recommend this rental enough. Thank you.

Don and his wife were great hosts! The RV was in great condition, ran well, and they were both easy to communicate with. We were happy to see they even provided amenities such as kitchen appliances, plates, utensils, chairs and a BBQ. We would definitely go through them on our next trip if the RV is available!
Taylor M. - Aug 2025
The Leggs were really great and we appreciated the supplies that were included. There were camp chairs and even an outdoor grill.

Booking and reservations

What to expect
Expect a mix of paved RV resorts close to I-5 and primitive forest sites farther west. Private parks in Grand Mound generally provide full hookups, laundry, and pull-through sites suitable for larger rigs. DNR sites in Capitol State Forest are different: campsites offer a primitive experience, set deep in the forest beneath towering trees or beside creeks.
At Margaret McKenny, plan for vault toilets, no hookups, and limited cell coverage. It is an equestrian-oriented campground with horse corrals, 24 sites, three toilets, and a camp host site with a shelter, and the trailhead provides access to non-motorized trails in Capitol State Forest.
Mima Mounds has its own quirks: dogs are not allowed at the preserve, with service animals as the only exception. Evergreen Sportsmen's Club adjoins the preserve, so shooting from the practice ranges can often be heard during operating hours.
