Why Visit

American Heritage Campground

American Heritage Campground is a full-amenity private campground on the south side of Olympia, offering the convenience of I-5 proximity with the feel of a genuine forested retreat. Sites are shaded by mature second-growth fir and cedar, with full hookups accommodating large rigs. The on-site swimming pool, mini golf, playground, and camp store make it a popular family destination. Olympia's state capitol, Percival Landing waterfront, and the hands-on children's museum are less than 10 miles away. Millersylvania State Park is just 8 miles south for hiking and lake activities. The campground is strategically located for Oregon Coast-bound travelers, sitting right at the I-5/US-101 interchange. Olympia's Costco is about 10 miles north.

Private Campground

Privately managed, full-service

American Heritage Campground sits near Olympia within easy reach of the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge — one of the most productive river delta ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest, where the Nisqually River draining Mount Rainier's glaciers meets Puget Sound in an internationally significant marsh. The Nisqually Delta hosts wintering flocks of dunlin numbering in the tens of thousands, along with concentrations of northern pintail, green-winged teal, and great blue herons — and the refuge boardwalk is one of the most accessible world-class birding sites in Washington. Millersylvania State Park and Capitol Forest are nearby, providing access to old-growth forest and 80+ miles of multi-use trails in the South Puget Sound's most significant remaining natural landscape.

🗺️

Full hookup pull-through sites are the main draw for self-contained RV travellers. The heated pool and clubhouse make this feel more like a resort than a campground. Well-maintained and convenient for I-5 corridor travellers heading to or from Olympia. A comfortable overnight or base camp rather than a destination. The Tumwater Historical Park and Millersylvania State Park are both within 10 miles.
