Washington Campground Fees, Hookups & Reservations
No fee data in the federal directory. We report the reservable-vs-first-come split by agency; nightly fees and hookup specifics live on each campground's Recreation.gov page. Federal coverage only.
Washington has 210 federal campgrounds managed through the National Recreation Reservation Service. Of these, 190 campgrounds accept advance reservations through Recreation.gov, while 20 operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservable sites allow visitors to book campsites in advance, typically up to several months ahead, providing greater certainty for trip planning. First-come campgrounds accommodate visitors who arrive without prior reservations, though availability cannot be guaranteed.
Fees and RV hookup availability vary significantly among Washington's federal campgrounds and must be verified on each facility's individual Recreation.gov page before planning a visit. Some campgrounds offer full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections, while others provide partial hookups or no hookups at all. Similarly, daily use fees differ by location and amenities. Visitors should check the specific campground's webpage to confirm current pricing, hookup options, and reservation policies before making travel plans.
Where fees and hookups actually live
The federal directory tracks who manages a campground, how many sites it has and whether it's reservable — but not nightly fees or RV hookups, which differ site to site. For those, open the campground's Recreation.gov page, where current fees, hookup types and the reservation window are listed.
| Managing agency | Reservable | First-come |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. Forest Service | 149 | 17 |
| National Park Service | 31 | 1 |
| U.S. Army Corps of Engineers | 6 | 2 |
| Bureau of Land Management | 4 | 0 |
Common questions
Do Washington federal campgrounds have RV hookups?
Some do and some don't — hookup availability isn't in the federal directory data, so check each campground's Recreation.gov page for water, electric and sewer details.
How much does it cost to camp?
Fees vary by facility and aren't part of the federal export, so we don't quote a price. Each Recreation.gov facility page shows its current nightly fee.
