10 Things to Do With Kids Around Seattle the Last Days of Summer 2022
Sleep under the stars
Well ... you might prefer the coziness of your tent, but sleeping outside sounds pretty nice on a warm August night. If you don’t have a campsite reservation, check out our guide to camping on the fly. It highlights some great first come, first served campgrounds around Washington, plus includes tips for your best chances of getting a site.
If you prefer the certainty of a reservation, these campgrounds are a good bet for Seattle-area families or check the State Parks reservation site for availability.

(If you’re trying to reserve the same day, note that you’ll need to call; online reservations are only accepted up to one day in advance of arrival).
