Planning your spring or summer vacation? State Parks’ accommodations fill up fast and you can make reservations nine months in advance. If you’ve waited too long to snag those summer weekend dates, consider a mid-week reservation. You might have better luck if you can be flexible on your dates. And then there’s always the off season. Many cabins and yurts are cheaper then, too! Book your stay today!

Did you know that Washington State Parks offers 12 free days each year? We like to think these free days are a good way for people to visit a park they’ve never seen before or perhaps revisit an old favorite.
On free days, you won't need a Discover Pass for day-use visits to a park.
There are nine more Discover Pass-free days in 2017. The next one is March 19, in honor of Washington State Parks’ 104th birthday. View a list of our free days for 2017.
We hope you will consider supporting your Washington state parks by purchasing a Discover Pass!
Note: The free days do not apply to Sno-Parks. During the winter season, December through March (or later, depending on snow conditions), visitors to Sno-Parks will need Sno-Park permits. State Parks manages of Sno-Parks for snowmobile and non-motorized winter recreation on lands that we manage, as well as on lands managed by DNR and the Forest Service.
