34 verified campgrounds — 5 within 1 hour, 29 more under 2 hours. Every listing includes hookup type, max rig length, and drive time straight from our verified database.
Most camping guides give you a 50-mile radius. We built this around actual drive time: how long it takes to leave Seattle, hit the highway, and pull into a site. These 34 campgrounds are everything within 2 hours, organized by how far you're willing to drive on a Friday evening.
Every number (hookup type, max rig length, site count) is verified directly from the park or Recreation.gov. Nothing is guessed.
