best camping site seattle image
Rosie
My friends and I are planning a camping trip memorial day weekend which is a very busy camping weekend in the northwest but we are hoping to leave a day early to get ahead of the rush. We're interested in warm climate, maybe some swimming areas and are willing to go 5-6 hours out of Seattle. If you know just the place please let me know!
Answer
Well you are starting you planning 6 months late all the best "secluded" places to camp that are reservable for the holiday weekend will have been booked up that long ago. Lesson learned there is always next year. Get reservations here,

Now for plan "B". Not all campsites are reservable many are on a first come basis and if you plan a few days earlier to take your trip you may actually find a spot to camp through the holiday weekend as always the early bird gets the warm and this holds true for popular destinations. http://woodalls.com/ lists all the campsites there are
Plan "C", Another option are truly secluded campsites away from the crowds called "dispersed camping" sites. These you drive out a forest service road or hike into the wild lands and pick your own spot to camp. You may still need to pick up a campfire permit and a parking permit but you will not have competition to find a spot and here is why. Dispersed camping does not provide any services that means no toilets, no picnic tables, no running water. You bring your own everything. To find the best locations where these sites are contact the Forest Service in the district you would like to go to. To start a search use a trip suggestion from webs services or a good book here is one I like,

Good campsites for teens without parent supervision around the seattle area?

Me and some friends want to go camping without supervision because we would like to get away from our parents for a weekend... Any suggestions on some good campsites (free?)
Answer
Go to Bainbridge Island. Take the ferry to here, and go to Fay Banbridge. There is a nice camp site there!
