Pick a Park

Alder Lake Park
Bring your buddies! You must reserve at least five sites, so plan ahead for your family reunion, team gathering or any other occasion that brings people together. Alder Lake Park’s group camp has a kitchen shelter with barbecue grills, sinks and electrical outlets, a restroom with showers and areas for outdoor fun. Unreserved spots in the group camp area may be available to other campers. If you’d like a larger area for your group, you must reserve and pay for the additional sites. 

You may reserve the kitchen shelter for one meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) per day. 

Mossyrock Park
If you’ve got a gaggle of friends and family who need at least five campsites, check out Mossyrock’s two group camp areas. The main group camp area is divided into three circles, all of which include community water stations, fire rings and picnic tables. The area also has a kitchen shelter with a fireplace/barbecue, sinks and electrical outlets, as well as horseshoe pits, a volleyball area and a restroom with showers.

You may reserve the kitchen shelter for one meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) per day.

Group campers who seek a more rustic environment might enjoy the primitive group camp area. Ten unimproved sites with picnic tables, fire rings, water and a vault toilet offer a back-to-the-basics experience for campers. You must reserve all ten sites if you want to camp in the primitive group camp area.

Mayfield Lake Park
Mayfield Lake Park’s group camp includes a kitchen shelter and its own bathroom—making it perfect for family reunions and other large get-togethers. It’s separated from the other camping areas, which gives group campers a sense of privacy.

Campers staying the group camp can use the kitchen shelter in the group camp area free of charge.

Taidnapam Park
The 22 sites in the group camp at Taidnapam Park allow you to express your more social side. You must reserve at least 10 sites in the group camp area. All of the sites have water and electric hookups, and 18 have sewer hookups. The group camp has a kitchen shelter, horseshoe pits, a volleyball area and a restroom with showers.

Any unreserved spots in the group camp area will be available to other campers. If you’d like a larger area for your group, you must reserve and pay for the additional sites.

You may reserve the kitchen shelter for one meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) per day.

For a rustic group camping experience, reserve Taidnapam's primitive group camp. You'll find space for 12 tents, picnic tables, a group fire ring and a nearby restroom with showers. You must reserve all 12 sites if you want to camp in the primitive group camp area.
