Although not a state park, my favorite camping park in WA state is the county park at Dungeness Spit, Clallam County park, just west of Sequim. I haven't been there in years since we moved from Washington to the SE USA.

I have camped at a place called Chatter Creek just outside of Leavenworth, WA. Not a state park, but very nice camp sites and great hiking trails.

I was camping with my daughter, grandson and son in law. We used a truck instead of a bike, but it's still a campground report.

I did ride a bike to get to their place! I'm in Michigan and they are in Washington State, only a minor couple of thousand miles between us. Gives me a great excuse to do long distance rides.:D Once there and we decided to go camping, I found I couldn't fit them all on my bike so we were forced to use the truck.:p
