If you're planning to camp during the busy summer months, you can reserve a campsite, yurt, cabin, platform tent, vacation house, group camp or group day-use facility in more than 50 Washington state parks. While drop-in campers are always welcome as long as space is available, reservations offer peace of mind in traveling to distant parks or camping in popular parks.

Some parks are first-come, first-served facilities where reservations aren't accepted. See the individual parks pages to see what options are available.

Campsites are available for reservations May 15 through Sept. 15.

Reserve By Phone
Call (888) CAMPOUT or (888) 226-7688, or access the reservations service through the Washington Telecommunications Relay Service at (800) 833-6388 to reserve campsites and group facilities at dozens of Washington state parks. Phone lines are open every day of the year, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. PST, except Christmas Day and New Year's Day and with shortened hours on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

Reserve Online
You can reserve a campsite, yurt, cabin or platform tent, pay with a credit or check card and browse campsite availability maps and park facilities on the Washington State Parks' Web site. Reservations for group camps and day-use facilities may be made only by phone.

Reservations made online may be booked only one at a time.

The Washington State Parks Dept. asks that you be prepared before you call to make your reservations. Please have available your credit card number, park and site preferences (please have alternatives), arrival and departure dates, and specific customer information for each site you wish to reserve – camper's name, address, phone number, e-mail address (for quick confirmation) and tent/RV equipment type. If you are unsure of your needs or plans, call our information center at (360) 902-8844 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

For detailed reservation information, please see the Reservations Information page on the Washington State Parks Web site.
