Looking for secluded camping in Washington?

We want a place that’s kinda private, like with the campsites nicely spaced out, preferably near the beach or a lake. Trails would be cool too. Activities! and yeah. So, privacy is definitely the most important thing though, I do not want to have to interact with anybody should I want to be alone, if I can see my neighbors, that isn’t even camping, I mean come on guys. And it’d be cool if we didn’t have to take this huge hike to get there, seeing as how we’ve only got a few people and a bunch of food and stuff.
I love you. your camping ground can be in my heart. forever. it’s warm and secluded cos not many others get in there. bring food though.
You should go dispersed camping in the national forests of Washington. You will need to hike at least a hundred feet away from forest service roads, trails, and waterways, but you can go to many designated places where you can select a campsite of your own and never see anyone.
Go to the web-sites for your choice of national forests below, then look for recreational activities > camping > dispersed camping.
Washington
Colville National Forest
Gifford Pinchot National Forest
Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forests
Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument
Okanogan National Forest
Olympic National Forest
Wenatchee National Forest
Washington is a big state. Would you like to stay in a certain region? If you want seclusion, get a high clearance vehicle and head into the national forest. Almost all of them allow dispersed camping.
Dispersed camping is when you are camped outside of a designated campground. You will not have any facilities at all i.e. water, toilets, etc.
It is always best to contact the ranger station for the forest that you plan on visiting. They can help you find a spot where you wont see anyone for the whole two weeks that you are allowed to camp there. They will also provide you with maps so you don’t get lost up in them there hills.
