Pitch your tent in a few areas you pick, there are Mountain Bike and Little kid ATV trails around the property as well. For more extensive ATV trails Capital Forest is about 30 minutes away. If you have a Weyerhaeuser permit for the area near me the gate is 2.5 miles away. There is a winery on site and an outside tasting area with a fire pit. Each camp site also has their own fire pits. Two bathrooms with showers. There are powered and non-powered RV sites. Water is available at the water station but not directly at the camp sites. We are pet friendly. We offer firewood for sale on site, camp fires permitted outside of a burn ban. We do not provide garbage service, we expect everyone to carry out what they bring in. Guests love staying here: "Dean's acreage is a dream! We stayed there in our motorhome and absolutely loved it. We have two dogs and they are picky about making friends but adored Deans dogs. They are the sweetest and make the camping even more enjoyable. Dean was kind enough to show us his Meadery and the property so we felt comfortable exploring and walking around. We would definitely recommend it for other campers whether you have an RV, tent, van, etc. For reference we comfortably parked our 31 ft motorhome and we were able to hookup to electricity (only available in one spot so inquire with dean!). There is a shower and toilet available for use in a separate building from his home in the backyard."

Camping near Ashford guide

Overview

It’s all green forests and blue skies in Ashford, a tiny community in southwestern Washington. In the distance, the snow-covered summit of Mount Rainier rises high above the surrounding peaks. Just 6 miles away, you can enter Mount Rainier National Park through the Nisqually gate. Camping options are plentiful, both in Ashford and the national park.

If you’re searching for an RV park with full hookups, check out Alder Lake Park. In the summer, the beach and picnic tables are popular with families. Closer to Ashford, Big Creek Campground has 64 sites with plenty of privacy. During the colder months, book one of Ashford’s heated camping cabins.

Are you planning to explore the wilderness on horseback? Tent sites at Sahara Creek horse camp have hitching posts and room for trailers.

Inside the national park, Cougar Rock Campground offers plenty of rustic sites. From camp, you can fish the Nisqually River or hike to flowering meadows. With a permit, you can also walk into the backcountry and set up camp in the wild. Try snow camping in the winter—just wait until the snow is 5 feet deep at Paradise.

The area around Ashford is ripe with outdoor adventures. Hike 260 miles of trails in the national park; in the winter, explore on skis or snowshoes. Fly-fish the Ohanapecosh River, paddle Mowich Lake, or take a guided rock-climbing trip. Adrenaline-seekers shouldn’t miss a rafting trip on the wild Nisqually River.
