Dash Point State Park

How does Dash Point State Park defy expectations of a city-adjacent campground? By offering a tranquil escape that balances accessibility with a pristine natural environment. Located in Federal Way, Washington, just a 30-minute drive from Seattle or Tacoma, this 398-acre park connects campers to the stunning Puget Sound and an array of recreational opportunities.

This campground features 140 campsites, including 27 utility sites for RVs, accommodating rigs up to 40 feet. Additionally, it includes cozy cabins for rent and a group camping area that holds up to 96 guests, making it ideal for both solo adventurers and larger gatherings. Amenities include clean restrooms, modern showers, potable water, picnic tables, fire pits, and even an amphitheater. The park's well-maintained network of 11 miles of hiking and biking trails encourages exploration, while the sandy beaches of Puget Sound—just a short stroll from the sites—offer opportunities for fishing, beachcombing, skimboarding, and kayaking.

Beyond its on-site attractions, Dash Point State Park is uniquely positioned. Its proximity to urban conveniences complements the serene camping experience. For a change of pace, Saltwater State Park, another impressive natural area, is just a 20-minute drive away, offering additional hiking, picnicking, and stunning waterfront vistas. This makes Dash Point an excellent choice for weekend getaways or longer stays, offering a rare fusion of nature and accessibility.
