The girls and I went camping at Millersylvania State Park near Olympia, Washington last weekend. It’s a beautiful campground that hasn’t lost its charm due to modern updating. The campsites in the tenting area look like they’re in the original condition; although I’m sure there have been changes over the years. The sites are heavily wooded and the roads narrow, so RVs can’t get into that section. There is an RV loop in an open field that is not very desirable. However, there are two rows for RVs that are under the trees. The campground was very peaceful, and our trailer was squeezed in between the trees in site 205. All the sites in these two rows are pull-throughs, although I would be cautious about taking my 5th wheel through some of them.
Misty-Jade make breakfast burritos for us on Saturday. Then we had the most delicious steak covered with smoked blue cheese and grilled veggies along with freshly squeezed strawberry lemonade for dinner.
I’m envious of the tenters who were able to camp in the loop pictured below. The park also has some glamping tents in this loop available for rent.

I discovered this trail early Saturday morning while the girls were still sleeping. I loved the romantic bridge and boardwalk section of the trail. The boardwalk would make a great background for a photo shoot.
While kayaking on Deep Lake we saw an eagle and a crane as well as a few other critters. We were able to get up close to the crane, but unfortunately I only had an iPhone with me. There were several people fishing off the dock near the boat launch.
We all loved the park and have put it on our list of go-to campgrounds when we need something at the last minute for a weekend get-away.
