Campgrounds near Lakewood, Washington
Lakewood sits on the south end of Puget Sound between Tacoma and Olympia, with quick access to Interstate 5 and State Route 16. The area gives RV renters a base for saltwater beaches, the Kitsap and Gig Harbor peninsulas, and day trips to Mount Rainier National Park, all within a 90-minute drive.
Campground options near Lakewood split into two groups. Washington State Parks operates the public side, with Dash Point State Park on Puget Sound the closest full-service public campground; it offers standard and utility sites plus heated cabins, and accommodates RVs and combinations of 32 feet or less. The private side includes full-hookup RV parks such as Majestic Manor RV Park in Puyallup, Gig Harbor RV Resort across the Tacoma Narrows, Riverbend Campground on the Nisqually River near Olympia, and Sound View Camp and Retreat Center in Pierce County.
Most private parks stay open year-round, while state-park demand peaks from late spring through Labor Day. Sites for big rigs and waterfront tent spots fill earliest.
Things to do near Lakewood
Saltwater shoreline drives much of the activity. Dash Point State Park has more than 3,300 feet of Puget Sound beach with sea-life viewing at low tide, skimboarding on the sand flats, and miles of forest trails for hiking and mountain biking. Crabbing, kayaking, and shellfish harvesting are popular along the same coast.
Within a short drive, families can visit Point Defiance Park and Zoo in Tacoma, Wild Waves theme park in Federal Way, and the Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup. Gig Harbor adds a walkable waterfront, boat tours, and seafood restaurants.
For a bigger day trip, Mount Rainier National Park is roughly two hours southeast, with the Nisqually entrance the closest. Closer to home, the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge offers birding boardwalks, and American Lake and Steilacoom Lake provide easy fishing and paddling without leaving the I-5 corridor.

Seasonal info for Lakewood camping
- spring
March - May
57° / 41°F 70 mmCool and showery; rain eases by May
- summer
June - August
75° / 54°F 25 mmPeak season; dry and warm, book sites well ahead
- fall

61° / 45°F 85 mmDry early; rain ramps up through November
- winter
December - February
46° / 37°F 115 mmWettest stretch; mild, damp, short daylight hours
Summer is the clear peak. June through early September is the warmest and driest stretch on Puget Sound, with average highs in the low to mid 70s Fahrenheit and the lowest rainfall of the year. Reservations for state-park sites and waterfront private parks should be locked in weeks ahead, especially for weekends and the stretch from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Spring and fall are shoulder seasons. April and May bring longer days and lighter crowds, but rain is still frequent. September often delivers dry early-fall weather before the wet pattern returns through October and November.
Winter camping is possible because lowland Puget Sound rarely gets sustained snow or hard freezes. Dash Point State Park stays open year-round, and several private RV parks operate through winter, though expect short daylight hours, persistent drizzle, and the chance of wind storms off the Sound. December is typically the wettest month at the nearby Seattle-Tacoma climate station.

We had such a great weekend camping in the Memory Maker! Danielle has thought of everything when it comes to making life easy while you are “roughing it”. We felt cozy and comfortable sleeping as a family of 5. It was easy to pull behind our Tahoe as well. Great experience all around, we already have our next trip booked!
Phil G. - Aug 2025

How to book campgrounds near Lakewood
State park sites are booked through the Washington State Parks reservation system at washington.goingtocamp.com or by phone at 888-226-7688. The booking window opens up to nine months in advance of arrival, and popular waterfront parks like Dash Point fill quickly for summer weekends. A Discover Pass is required for day-use parking but is included with overnight camping fees.
Private parks each run their own system. Majestic Manor RV Park, Gig Harbor RV Resort, Riverbend Campground, and Sound View Camp and Retreat Center take reservations directly through their websites or by phone, and most require a credit card to hold the site.
For RV renters, confirm site length, hookup type, and slide-out clearance before booking. Many private parks accept big rigs; the state park caps rigs and combinations at 32 feet.
What to expect
Sites near Lakewood lean forested and shaded. Dash Point sits in tall second-growth fir and cedar with generous spacing between sites, restrooms with showers, fire rings, and a dump station; the swimming beach is a walk or short drive from the campground loops. Cell coverage is solid across the area, and grocery stores, fuel, and big-box stores are within 10 to 15 minutes of every park on this list.
Private parks like Majestic Manor RV Park and Gig Harbor RV Resort run closer to a paved-pad, full-hookup format with laundry and Wi-Fi. Sites can be tight for slide-outs and tow vehicles.
Expect cool, damp mornings even in summer, real darkness once gates close, and standard Washington State Parks rules on leashed pets and quiet hours.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Lakewood, WA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Lakewood, WA?
An RV rental in Lakewood, WA is a strong value compared to Seattle-area hotels. On RVezy, campervans typically start around $95 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $175 to $275, and larger Class A motorhomes or fifth wheels run $250 to $400 per night. You can save by booking midweek, traveling in May or late September when summer crowds thin, and choosing a travel trailer if you already have a tow vehicle. Weekly bookings often unlock a host discount of 10 to 20 percent, which adds up quickly if you are planning a Mount Rainier loop or Olympic Peninsula trip. Use the price filter on RVezy to instantly see what fits your budget.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lakewood%2C%20WashingtonWhat driver's license do I need to rent an RV in Lakewood, Washington?
Great news for anyone planning a Lakewood RV trip: a standard driver's license is all you need for every RV you'll find on RVezy. Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) only requires a Commercial Driver License (CDL) for vehicles over 26,001 pounds, and recreational vehicles driven for personal use are specifically exempt. You'll need to be at least 25 years old, and RVezy verifies your ID through the booking platform in just a few minutes. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto club. That's it, you're ready to roll toward Mount Rainier.
dol.wa.gov/driver-licenses-and-permits/commercial-driver-licenses-cdl/do-i-need-cdlIs renting an RV in Lakewood safe, and what protection is included?
You can book with confidence: every RV rental in Lakewood, WA on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance. Protection plans cover physical damage to the RV during your trip, and you can choose between coverage tiers at checkout to match your comfort level. Hosts cannot change the coverage level, that is selected by you at booking. Whether you are navigating I-5 through Tacoma or climbing toward Paradise on State Route 706, the protection plan plus included roadside assistance gives renters real peace of mind. For most first-time renters, this built-in coverage is what turns a maybe into a confident yes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Lakewood RV rental?
Booking is low risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and it includes a money-back grace period after you confirm your booking so you have a short window to change your mind. The exact refund depends on how far in advance you cancel relative to your trip start date. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds the guest or provides travel credits. The full cancellation terms are shown during checkout and on the RVezy Help Center. Tip: lock in your dates early for July and August, since Mount Rainier and Olympic campgrounds book out fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I find a pet-friendly RV rental in Lakewood?
Yes, a pet-friendly RV rental in Lakewood is easy to find. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you will see dog-welcoming rigs from local hosts. Your pup will love the area too: Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood has a large off-leash dog area with views of Mount Rainier, and Point Defiance Park in nearby Tacoma allows leashed dogs on most trails. Heading to Mount Rainier National Park? Pets are allowed in campgrounds like Cougar Rock on a six-foot leash, though they are not permitted on park trails. Message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any size or breed preferences.
cityoflakewood.us/parks-recreation-and-community-services/parks/fort-steilacoom-park/Can the RV be delivered to me in Lakewood, or to a nearby campground?
Yes, RV delivery in Lakewood is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters. Many local hosts will drive the RV to your home, a campground, or JBLM-area lodging, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Common delivery destinations include Dash Point State Park (about 25 minutes north), American Lake recreation areas, and Mount Rainier gateway campgrounds in Ashford. Delivery fees typically run $2 to $4 per mile round trip, and some hosts offer free delivery within a set radius. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to instantly see hosts who offer this service.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lakewood%2C%20WashingtonHow far can I travel from Lakewood in an RV, and what about mileage limits?
You've got incredible range from Lakewood. Most RVezy hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is perfect for a longer Pacific Northwest road trip. From Lakewood you can reach Mount Rainier's Nisqually Entrance in about 90 minutes (65 miles), Olympic National Park's Hurricane Ridge in roughly 2.5 hours (110 miles), Seattle in 45 minutes (40 miles), Mount St. Helens in about 2 hours (110 miles), and the Pacific Coast at Ocean Shores in 2 hours (95 miles). If you're planning a big loop, filter for unlimited mileage listings or message the host to negotiate extra miles upfront.
nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Lakewood, WA for my RV trip?
You are spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping near Lakewood. Top picks include Dash Point State Park (about 25 minutes north, with Puget Sound beach access), Kopachuck State Park near Gig Harbor (saltwater views and forested sites), Millersylvania State Park near Olympia (about 35 minutes south, with old-growth Douglas firs around a lake), American Heritage Campground in Olympia (full hookups and easy I-5 access), and Majestic Mobile Manor & RV Park in Lakewood for in-town overnights. For a bucket-list stay, book Cougar Rock Campground inside Mount Rainier National Park, about 90 minutes away. Reserve through Washington State Parks or Recreation.gov as far in advance as possible for summer dates.
parks.wa.gov/find-parks/state-parks/dash-point-state-parkWhen is the best time to rent an RV in Lakewood?
July through early September is the sweet spot for RV camping in Lakewood, with daytime highs in the upper 70s, very little rain (July averages under half an inch), and Mount Rainier's wildflower meadows in peak bloom. Late June and mid-September are insider favorites: temperatures still hit the low 70s, campgrounds are easier to book, and nightly rates drop. Spring (April to June) is green and dramatic but bring rain gear. Winter trips are absolutely doable if your host's RV is winterized, and you'll have the coast and lowland forests almost to yourself. Book July dates by March for the best selection.
weather.gov/sew/I have never rented an RV before. Will I get help figuring it out?
You are in great hands, even if this is your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through the generator, slide-outs, water and waste tanks, propane, awning, and dashboard controls. Most walkthroughs take 30 to 60 minutes, and hosts encourage you to take notes or video. You can message your host through the RVezy app any time during your trip, and 24/7 roadside assistance is included if something feels off. Tip for Lakewood: ask your host for their favorite fuel station with easy RV access, since some I-5 stops can be tight. Many recommend the Costco and Fred Meyer fuel stations near Bridgeport Way.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance, so if you get a flat near Eatonville, a dead battery at Dash Point, or need a tow coming down from Paradise, one phone call connects you to help. Your host is also a direct message away through the RVezy app and can usually troubleshoot small issues like a finicky furnace or a tripped breaker in minutes. RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after every trip. Tip: cell service drops inside Mount Rainier National Park, so download offline maps and save your roadside assistance number before you leave the Lakewood area.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Lakewood RV rental to Canada or other states?
Cross-border road trips from Lakewood are popular and often allowed, but you'll want to confirm before you book. Trips into Oregon (Portland is 2.5 hours south) and Idaho are commonly approved by RVezy hosts with no extra paperwork. Travel into British Columbia, Canada (Vancouver is about 3.5 hours north via I-5) is sometimes allowed depending on the host and protection coverage, so message the listing owner first and they'll confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental due to insurance coverage limits. A classic RV road trip from Lakewood is the loop through Olympic National Park, Port Townsend, and the San Juan Islands ferry at Anacortes.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat kind of fuel mileage should I expect, and what is a realistic budget?
Fuel is one of the biggest variables on an RV road trip from Lakewood, but it is easy to plan for. Class B campervans typically get 18 to 22 mpg, Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 mpg, and Class A motorhomes typically run 6 to 9 mpg. Washington has higher fuel taxes than most states, so expect regular gas prices to run a bit above the national average; check current rates before you go. A 250-mile round trip to Mount Rainier in a Class C will likely use 20 to 30 gallons of fuel. Tip: Costco off Union Avenue and warehouse-style stations near Lakewood Towne Center usually have the lowest prices in town. Build a fuel buffer of about 20 percent into your trip budget.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Lakewood?
For peak summer (July and August), book campgrounds as early as possible. Mount Rainier National Park campgrounds like Cougar Rock and White River release sites on Recreation.gov on a rolling window and fill within hours for summer weekends. Washington State Parks (Dash Point, Kopachuck, Millersylvania) use the Washington State Parks reservation system and open nine months in advance. For shoulder season (May, June, September), two to four weeks is usually enough. Private parks in the Lakewood and Gig Harbor area can often accommodate last-minute bookings. Tip: set a calendar reminder at 7:00 a.m. Pacific on opening day, that is when sites go live.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2725What are driving conditions like around Lakewood for an RV?
Driving an RV around Lakewood is very manageable. I-5 runs right through town and is the main artery to Seattle, Olympia, and Mount Rainier gateways, with wide lanes and plenty of truck-friendly exits. Avoid the SR-99 tunnel in downtown Seattle in larger rigs due to its height restriction; take I-405 around the east side instead. Mountain roads to Mount Rainier (SR-706 and SR-410) are paved and scenic but include steep grades and tight curves, so take it slow and use lower gears on descents. Winter traction tires or chains may be required on Cascade passes from November to spring. Check WSDOT cameras and pass reports before you head out.
wsdot.com/travel/real-time/mountainpassesWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Lakewood?
Campground amenities near Lakewood range from full-service private parks to rustic national park sites, so you can find the right fit for any RV. Private parks like Majestic Mobile Manor & RV Park in Lakewood and American Heritage Campground in Olympia offer 30/50-amp electric, water, sewer, Wi-Fi, laundry, and hot showers. Washington State Parks like Dash Point and Kopachuck have a mix of standard and partial-hookup sites with dump stations and potable water fill. Mount Rainier National Park campgrounds such as Cougar Rock have flush toilets and drinking water but no hookups, so plan to dump tanks at a local RV park or dump station on the way home. Always confirm hookups and dump station status when reserving.
nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htmWhat is actually inside the RVs available for rent in Lakewood?
You will be pleasantly surprised by how well-equipped Lakewood RV rentals are. Most listings on RVezy include a queen or king bed, a convertible dinette or bunks (rigs sleep 2 to 8), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, an indoor bathroom with shower, climate control via furnace and roof AC, and seatbelts for everyone traveling. Many also include a generator, solar setup, outdoor speakers, or a TV. Wi-Fi varies, so if you plan to work on the road during your campervan rental Lakewood adventure, ask the host about hotspot or cellular booster setups. Each listing page shows a full amenity checklist, so you can filter for exactly what you need.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lakewood%2C%20WashingtonWhat add-ons and options can I get with my motorhome rental Lakewood?
Lakewood hosts on RVezy offer a great range of add-ons that make your trip easier. Common extras include bedding and towel packages ($25 to $75), kitchen kits with pots, plates, and utensils ($35 to $60), camp chairs and outdoor tables ($15 to $30), generators or extra propane, bike racks, kayaks or paddleboards, and pet packages. Mileage policies vary by listing: most include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with overage typically charged per mile, and some offer unlimited mileage for an extra flat fee. Pickup is typically late morning and drop-off mid-morning, but many Lakewood hosts can flex timing if you ask. Tip: bundle add-ons when you book to save versus adding them last-minute.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Lakewood%2C%20WashingtonHow does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Lakewood, WA?
Payment on RVezy is straightforward and secure: you pay through the platform with a credit card, never directly to the host. A deposit confirms your booking and the balance is charged before pickup. Most Lakewood hosts request a refundable security deposit (commonly between $500 and $1,500), which is held separately from your booking payment and released after a successful return. To avoid any issues, do a quick walkaround video at pickup and drop-off, follow the host fuel and propane return rules, and dump the tanks if required. Tip: keep all communication inside the RVezy app so every agreement is documented if a question comes up.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhere can I park or stay overnight in an RV near Lakewood?
You have plenty of legal overnight options near Lakewood. Some big-box retailers in the area (such as certain Walmart and Cabela's locations) historically allow overnight RV parking with manager permission, so call ahead to confirm before relying on a spot. For a proper stay, Camping World in Fife and Majestic Mobile Manor & RV Park in Lakewood offer overnight hookup sites. Street parking and boondocking inside Lakewood city limits is restricted under the municipal code, so use a campground or approved lot. For a scenic overnight, drive about 25 minutes to Dash Point State Park or about 45 minutes to Penrose Point State Park on the Key Peninsula. Always confirm with property managers or park staff before parking.
