Campgrounds & RV Parks in Seattle, WA

I roughly use this http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/forecast/graphics/MAV/MAV.BCIG_000.html but honestly can't attest to reliability. I also check % cloud cover on noaa/weather.gov. curious to see what everyone else checks, I'd love a really reliable resource. Mountain forecast has forecasts for specific elevations which can give you a hint but also not always reliable.

https://www.windytv.com/ has a Cloud Base data layer. That'd probably be helpful to you, but I haven't used that layer before so I can't speak to its usefulness or accuracy. I use the Temp, Wind & Rain layers often for my own planning

You can get reservations in Mt Rainier National Parks’ Ohanapecosh and Cougar Rock Campgrounds on the Recreation.gov website

There's also White River Campground, on the way to Sunrise, east side of Mt. Rainier. https://visitrainier.com/white-river-campground/

Shannon DeBono, we love White River Campground. It has been awhile since we were there, but so beautiful!

The forest rangers love answering questions like this. Call the ranger station closest to the area you want to camp.

I just hiked up Crater Lakes which is a bit south of Twisp near Methow off of 153. There was a large firepit up there, but also some pretty good looking camping spots near the first larger lake, and maybe the second smaller one. I didn't hike around it as much. I'm not sure exactly how dispersed you're looking for but if you wanted to, there were some places to go off trail that would make for a good camp spot if you were inclined to do so.

You might go up Harts pass. https://joebeckerphoto.wordpress.com/tag/harts-pass/

lots of places up gold creek rd south of twisp, was up there just last week. just drive up a forest service road and find a spot, there are tons in the area.

Zach, we will be there at the same time as you, visiting from IL. One thing that we booked at my wife's request was a whale watching boat tour and San Juan Island visit. It leaves from Port Townsend. www.pugetsoundexpress.com

Hike to Shi Shi Beach near Neah Bay.

The Hwy 101 look from Hoodsport, up and around the pennensula will give you LOTS of great stops.. some are just short hikes.. some you can drive to.. Murhut Falls - short hike Rocky Brook falls - just bout 100 yards off road Mt Walker - 2mi, 2000ft hike up, or just drive to the top for some great views Heart of the Forest campground has a nice trail and some nice wooded sites just south of Port Angeles then from here head west, and check out places like Crecent Lake, Madison Falls, around towards Forks and check out Rialto Beach area, Hoh Rainforest, Ruby Beach, and continue S from there to check out other spots long the coast including the Cave Tree on the beach at the Kalaloch Campground and the Quinault Rain Forest area.. I'll be doing a very similar loop in a couple weeks when my sister/niece come visit from Minnesota

Lake Quinault is awesome.

The Cove Resort at Fish Lake.

Lyre River (along a river, very few sites, but quaint), and Salt Creek County Park (bluffs overlooking the Strait). Both out on the north side of the Olympic Peninsula

My favorite camp. Close to places like Trail of Two Forests, Ape Caves and Lahar, other Gifford Pinchot trails. Plus nature trails a few steps away. http://www.pacificorp.com/about/or/washington/cbp.html

Lake Kachess is beautiful and there is a nice hike beginning at the mouth of box creek, near the non-motorized boat launch.

This has exactly what you're asking for. Might take an extra 30 min or so from Seattle. https://www.recreation.gov/camping/colonial-creek-south-campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=148590

Camp at Staircase or anywhere else around Lake Cushman. Got the lake and Olympic National Park right there. Also Mt. Ellinor nearby.

Backcountry Camping - Glacier National Park (U.S. National Park Service) https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/backcountry.htm This will give you the updates on trail conditions and closures. Two medicine was awesome when I went as aa kid with my dad. I'd also recommend mt Brown-but that's more of a day hike, definitely not an overnight

Did Red Eagle Lake last summer.

Go to page search option and look up Hospital, HCA, and location girl

HCA stinks. You can read agency and hospital reviews before you contract at www.travelnursingcentral.com

here are some options that made in USA today for camping near the falls; http://traveltips.usatoday.com/camping-near-palouse-falls-washington-60741.html

I usually have good luck with https://freecampsites.net/

Table Mountain on the Washington side is one of my favorites. It'll kick your butt, but it has great views of the gorge. Dog Mountain is a classic, but once the balsamroot dries up, it's just another steep, crowded gorge hike. One of my faves in Oregon is Wahclella Falls. Not very remote or hardcore, but it's pretty magical (I've heard multiple people describe it as something out of LOTR); it would be best-visited on a weekday to avoid crowds.

Agreed. And Jessica brings most of the inspiration to our hiking adventures, so you can trust she knows what's good. I will also say that Table Mountain is best described as strenuous. Start that one early in the day and bring lots of water. I'm not saying don't do it, but look up the stats and make sure it fits your enjoyment level and schedule before you commit to it. If you find yourself in or near Cascade Locks after a long day on the trail, and if you're the type who craves beer after such a day, Thunder Island Brewing is a great way to celebrate. (and it's on the Oregon side!)

Juniper Dunes is unique

Hey rad! Me mum's fam is from that area. Steptoe Butte is awesome, spectacular view

Lori, check out Dog Tired Ranch on Arizona Horses & Tack. Also, Julie Roland Radke on Arizona Horse Network. Both have full hooks ups. If you're working Chandler Regional Julie's place will be mostly freeway & against traffic. Good luck. Would love to pick your brain about traveling as a nurse w/ horses sometime!!
