American Heritage Campground

How does a campground reimagine family outdoor experiences just a stone's throw from Olympia? American Heritage Campground offers a serene retreat amidst a lush 25-acre forest, blending rustic charm with family-friendly amenities.

Located just six miles south of downtown Olympia and a mere half-mile from Interstate 5, this campground provides both convenience and seclusion. Campers can enjoy private, tree-lined sites alongside open, grassy areas, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. Key features include a vintage playground, a paved biking trail, a seasonal heated swimming pool, and even a small farm with chickens, ducks, and sheep. Hayrides and shave ice add a touch of playful nostalgia during summer months. For added options, the site also offers a cozy one-room cabin with essential comforts like electricity and an outdoor fire pit.

American Heritage is an ideal base for a variety of outdoor and cultural experiences. Nearby, Tumwater Falls Park and Millersylvania State Park offer scenic hiking and wildlife opportunities within a 15-minute drive. The campground’s peaceful, forested atmosphere provides an excellent backdrop for both short stopovers and extended family vacations.
