Federal Campgrounds in Washington

Federal coverage only. This directory lists campgrounds on federal land (Forest Service, Park Service, BLM, Corps of Engineers and other agencies) from the Recreation.gov RIDB export. State-park, county and private/KOA campgrounds are out of scope.

Washington offers 210 federal campgrounds across the state, providing approximately 4,438 overnight camping sites. These facilities are managed by four federal agencies: the U.S. Forest Service operates the largest network with 166 campgrounds, followed by the National Park Service with 32 locations, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with 8 campgrounds, and the Bureau of Land Management with 4 sites. Of these, 190 campgrounds accept reservations through Recreation.gov.

This directory covers federal campgrounds only. State parks and private campground networks such as KOA are outside this scope and should be researched separately. For current information on site availability, amenities, and to make reservations, visit Recreation.gov directly. Facility details and capacity may change seasonally, so checking the reservation system before planning your trip is recommended.
