Plus a $10/night extra-vehicle fee and an $8 (online) or $10 (phone) reservation fee, with an additional $15/reservation surcharge for non-residents.

Washington State Parks' winter schedule says most parks stay open all year with operational changes in winter, parks with campgrounds may close some sites or turn off water, and many offer first-come, first-served winter camping. Reservations run April 1 to September 30 on washington.goingtocamp.com, the reservable season. The campground has standard, partial hookup, full hookup, and five primitive hiker/biker campsites available first-come, first-served. The park accommodates RVs and combinations of 45 feet or less in length. Campground Closes: Open. Campground Reopens: Open. Campgrounds are open year round. Water and sewer are always on. Sites 7-10, 21-25 and 101-110 are closed until winter storms have passed and sites are evaluated.
