The best waterside campgrounds in Lake Washington

Lake Washington draws campers who want easy waterside access and a range of experiences, with over 1,300 campsites to choose from. You’ll find everything from tucked-away tent spots to scenic campsites right on the shoreline—many for around $20 a night, with some as low as $15. Showers, campfires, and pet-friendly sites are common. Spend your days hiking local trails, swimming, or saddling up for horseback rides along the water. For spots locals return to, check out The Art Farm Women's Retreat (159 reviews), Ande's Place 148 Green Rd, Kuttawa (44 reviews), or Brand'n Iron Hills (15 reviews) for a mix of quiet comfort and easy water access.
