Alder Lake Park is a scenic waterfront campground located in Washington's Pierce County, situated about 10 miles south of Eatonville on the northern end of Alder Lake. Nestled in the Cascade foothills, the park offers a family-friendly destination for RV campers and tent enthusiasts seeking mountain lake recreation.
The campground features 35 sites with full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections, along with 74 partial-hookup sites and 62 tent camping areas to accommodate various camping preferences. Amenities include coin-operated showers, barbecue grills, picnic tables, fire rings, and wheelchair-accessible restrooms. Kitchen shelters with electrical outlets serve groups, while horseshoe pits add recreational variety.
Water activities are central to the park experience. One-mile-long Alder Lake provides boating opportunities, with boat launches facilitating easy water access. Seasonal swimming occurs at the designated swim area, with availability dependent on lake conditions.
The park maintains a satellite facility—Rocky Point Campground with 25 additional water and electric hookup sites—expanding visitor capacity. Its proximity to State Route 7 and the greater Eatonville area makes Alder Lake Park an accessible base for exploring the southern Puget Sound region and nearby hiking trails in the Cascade foothills.
