Washington state camp grounds

The State has not passed a budget, if it goes not, the state camp grounds will close as well as any other services they offer. Your reservations will be canceled and you will not get your money back.

  • Its a sad state of affairs that our politicians can't compromise any more. It use to be we got something, you got something, and everyone wins, but now a days, its its my way or the highway.
    I'll bet we have some cancellations for over the 4th if anyone wants to come up.
  • Got to the Wa State Park web page and read up on it there..

    Yes, you might not get your refund right away, but you'll get one, even if you cancel before hand....

    Here is a quote from the site directly.

    "Please note, if parks are closed due to shutdown and you haven't cancelled your reservation by 8 p.m. on your arrival day, refunds will have to be made by State Parks staff rather than through the reservation system. In this case, refunds would be significantly delayed; refunds would be processed when staff return to work."

    My July trip isn't until later in the month, so hopefully the DA's in Olympia can figure something out... ;)

  • Last year they closed our campground (Pearrygin Lake) due to the fires in Eastern Washington. They gave us a complete refund.
