American Heritage Campground is located six miles south of Olympia,
just ½ mile east of Interstate 5. The majority of our customers use this park as a destination, with days spent relaxing at the park and making memories. Those who happen upon this Campground while traveling have been known to change their plans and stay several days. American Heritage Campground is also a great 'home base' location for visits to Olympia's many attractions and events, including those of the greater Puget Sound area.

Opening weekend each year is Memorial Day Weekend, and the park is open through Labor Day weekend. American Heritage Campground hosts RV guests year round, but with limited facilities October through April. Check the rates page for reservation information and prices.
