Well maintained with decent amenities

I stay here from time to time with an RV. I appreciate there is electric, sewer and water. I use this an overnight point to fill my RV before going off grid. It is also a nice spot to stop close to Seattle for an easy overnight without a lot of hastle.

Hiking and relaxing on the beach

Love coming here to hike with the dogs and kids.

Several miles of hiking trails and chances to see wildlife or catch frogs. Across the street, about a 10 minute walk from the campground is the beach. The beach itself is fairly large with plenty of space to stretch out and let your animals go wild without worrying about being to close to other people. Beach is clean and water is too!

The campgrounds seem very well maintained and also you dont feel like your close to the city. It manages make you feel like your deep in the forest, very cozy feel at each campsite and a large campground in general with lots of trails and areas of the campground to explore. Great place for families who want to come see the ocean, be close to civilization and feel like your lost in the woods at the same time

Good Access to the sound

Good size sites great access to the sound and still close to town. The only reason I have this site 4 instead of 5 Stars is that's its so close to the city. Great WiFi connection and cell signal. Great hiking trails and nice trail to the water no need to drive to it.

Ok for a state park.

Ok for a state park facility. Sites were a bit overgrown, bathhouses were beat up an apparently not cleaned daily. Token machines were broken so showers were free. Didn’t use the beach, too far to walk from campsite. In our site there was no Verizon cell signal. No live ranger at checkin and I thought self registration instructions were confusing. That being said , convenient to Tacoma and only 45 minutes from downtown Seattle

Dash Point Camping

I would like tell you a few reasons why Dash Point made it a fantastic weekend for us. The camping site had all hookups for our 22 ft. Trailer. The park is close to Federal Way and Tacoma, but you wouldn't even know those cities were only minutes away. We hiked to the Inlet and beach.
My critique is if you have a larger vehicle then 22 ft. you may want a pull through space since the roads are a little narrow to back into. No Verizon access, unsure about other services.
We enjoyed our site and the camp ground.

Beautiful campground, would choose different site

Beautiful campground. Very quiet. There was about 1.5 inches the first day of our stay, so the site was very muddy. Some other sites seemed to have more grass, so less mud. Site 19 had a lot of poison oak/ivy so you must be careful of that. Probably wouldn’t choose site 19 again. But the campground was very pretty and would recommend that campground again.

Not too happy

We had site 34 and it was ridiculously close to other sites. Maybe 10 feet between fire pits. Never saw camp host of State Park personnel other than folks cleaning bathrooms. Some sites looked much nicer than ours. Half the campground is closed down so there was no weekend availability. Trails were great but signage was poor.

Tight and Crooked

Dash Point State Park is pretty, no doubt about it. However, if you're planning on staying here, even though it is close to the city, you're off the grid. No cell service available and no wifi either. The spots are very tight and on a grade, please bring levelers and make sure your rig isn't too big. For example, we are traveling in a 34ft at a pull-through site and we barely fit into the space. The grade is so significant we had to go find more leveling blocks to lift the trailer 5-6". The experience we had was barely a breeze, lots of coming back and forth from the store while finding ways to fit the RV; maneuvering the RV in such a way that it fits without hitting branches or trees.

If none of this matters to your situation you will enjoy your stay. We had to leave early because it was just not suiting our needs and was very uncomfortable.

Average

Camped here for 3 nights - it's not a bad campground, but it's just average. Also kind of depends on who's camping around you.

There's a bunch of sites and they're decently spaced out. Privacy is alright, if you can tuck your tent back then you can probably stay out of sight of other groups.

Bathrooms looked new and were actual bathrooms, but got dirty pretty quickly. The showers aren't in the main tent loop which is annoying and there was only one shower that I saw? You also had to pay for it too, using tokens from the entrance booth. Kind of a weird set up, but the shower was clean. Only one place to get water that I saw, which was at the entrance.

There are a few trails in the loop, I did one and it was short but alright. Not bad but not impressive.

You'll probably hear planes pass over but honestly it wasn't a huge annoyance for me. What was worse was the group across from me made noise every night until 10/11pm which kind of sucked, but obviously that's always a gamble when at a big campground.

The cell service was pretty spotty too (i know, you're camping, but just feels like it should be better at a state park)

Just felt like for a paid site it could be a lil better, but it's not a bad campground.

Ok if your passing through

The beach is great but a long walk from camp and you have to drive and day use parking is usually packed. The campground spaces were mostly very unlevel (the pull through spaces). But the biggest deal was a TON of cars driving through at night and some people selling in their cars. Not like campers but more like they live in their cars. Transients. And possible drug deals wit all the drive through late night park and leave traffic. Not good.

Decent campground close to Seattle

The campground was okay. A bit swampy when we were there in March, overgrown in parts, sparse in others, and not very well maintained. But it's relatively close to Seattle, which is great, and there's a nice day use area across the highway.

Would only stay here again for its proximity to Seattle. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way to stop.

No respect for disabled veterans

Tried staying in the camping area in my new RV. 

No respect for disabled veterans. 

I've lived in WA since I was stationed here in 1992. 

Because I just had to sell my house I cant "prove residency" because my ID has my old address on it.

 Just sold it. Just came back from buying an RV in little rock AR. Even though I have a PO box right down the street. I even have mail from the VA with the new address. 

How did they know I just sold my house? 

I called the state park to ask questions about staying there and mentioned it in conversation. 

They called the Ranger. 

They kicked me out, took my DV lifetime pass away, and expected me to pay for all the time I'd been there. 

Disgraceful. 

You would think that if they wanted to help out vets they would go out of their way to let them stay instead of going out of their way to kick them out. 

Why even give them out if they're going to go out of their way to not honor them. I was staying there peacefully and going for walks on the trails. 

I never had any problems with anyone there or even on the phone. 

Everything was a very pleasant, peaceful experience and I had been looking forward to spending time seeing the state parks and using my pass for decades now. 

Until the ranger cop knock on my door.
