Dean’s Campground

18 sites · RVs, Tents11 acres · Auburn, WA

Welcome to Dean’s! Eight minutes off Highway 18 lies 11 acres of mostly undeveloped land. Dean's is a beautiful, bare-bones place to rest between national parks, before or after crossing the US / CA border, or to set up base camp to explore Seattle / Tacoma. Our main driveway is CLOSED this year for repairs. We have alternate arrival instructions for you after you book. These instructions add about 7 minutes (totaling 8 minutes) from Highway 18 to the campground. Our location is convenient. We are just minutes from Auburn city limits. Road noise, planes, Pacific Raceways, and freight trains are audible here even if muffled by the trees. Our distant neighbors occasionally indulge in target shooting. This doesn't last long. Please call us immediately with any concerns. We have a brand new neighborhood in construction on one of our property lines. Heavy machinery is in use around 8 am and usually finished by dinner time. In order to provide safety and peace, hosts live just outside the campground and closely manage happenings. All our sites have 2-4 persons occupancy in hopes of deterring parties. Our quiet hours are 8pm-8am so we can rest up for the next day’s adventures. We ban fires during the peak of summer to avoid the issue of wildfires entirely. Propane stoves are welcome. We do not have a check in cut-off time tho reservations do need to be made before midnight. We have zero tolerance for hateful, abusive, or discriminatory behavior toward people, belongings, and wildlife. With that being said, the 40+ year old trees and distance between the campsites provides space for you to bring and create your own vibes. Hosts should only approach you with safety or quiet hour concerns. They are available 24 / 7 for any questions or requests you may have. Feel free to reach out any time (our phone number can be found on Google).

Beautiful campground - isolated, spacious, and great amenities. One of my favorites I've been to!

Tysha C.recommends

We went Father's Day weekend (mid-June) on a Saturday and were able to get a first-come site. It was fun to bring my kids to a place I camped as a child :) Also - a downpour as we set up our tent, as well as warm sunshine the following afternoon. It gets pretty cold even on summer nights, almost downto freezing sometimes. So come prepared for all types of weather, even if the forecast is pretty clear. The old growth forest is just beautiful, and we loved the loop hike to Silver Falls, the trail of which leaves from right near the Visitor Center. Our kids enjoyed the Junior Ranger program. Great location to launch into other exploration and hikes nearby. Also close to the short but popular (and must see, imho) Grove of the Patriarchs trail.

Lovely wooded campground. Unfortunately we were in site E1 with no privacy and lots of passing cars (within the campground, just at an intersection within a large campground). We tried to move to loop G or H, which are much less traveled, but it was hopeless to get one on a whim. They do not release campsites when people no-show, FYI.

Reservable and well maintained campground on east side of park, convenient visitors center at entrance of campground. The sites aren't huge or especially private (Typical Natl Park size), but the gorgeous old growth trees and river views are fantastic. Day use area also available along river. Beautiful place! Firewood available for purchase in the evenings from a truck making the rounds.

Naomi S.recommends

A little truck comes to sell firewoods once a day in the early evening. He drives through the loop. It was like $5 per bundle of good firewood. We learned it was better just to buy it from him instead of shopping in the city and bringing it all the way to the camp.

Bring water shoes to enjoy playing in the Ohanapecosh River. The stream is quite strong, a lot more powerful than it looks.
