Auburn Washington suggestions

We are planning on staying near Auburn this July for about 5 days. We are hoping to stay at a state campground but are open to other RV places. We will be at Ft. Stevens on the Oregon coast before we go to Auburn. We need power and water. Sewer is a plus. We have stayed at Beverly Beach and Ft. Stevens before. Can you guys recommend places to check out. We have family in Auburn so we will be spending some time there. We are also hoping that Wolf Haven is open (very nice place to visit in Tenino).

    My SIL camped with her BFF at Millersylvania State Park in Tenino. I had checked it out before but thought it only had primitive sites. After her suggestion I looked again. It has quite a few campsites with W/E. I wanted Full hookups but oh well. It looks like a nice park and is not too far from Auburn. A big bonus is it is a couple of miles from Wolf Haven. It is closed now but hopefully it will be open this summer. Anybody stay at that park?

    There is a state park out by black diamond farther east if you are interested, just not a lot of facilities in this area. Skip the koa in Kent.


    State Park near Maple Valley/Black Diamond is Kanaskat-Palmer State Park.

    And another vote against Kent KOA. I have heard that it's been upgraded recently, but it's still on a major 5 lane arterial, and it's across the street from an Amazon fulfilment center, traffic 24 hours a day.

    Saltwater state park or Dash point state park are close.


    I stayed at Dash point several times. If you plan on staying call now for reservations, it maybe too late already. Many small sites so watch the description of the sites.
