Conveniently located just 5 miles from Olympia, Capitol State Forest is a popular place for a variety of recreation opportunities. Campers, hikers, horseback riders, mountain bikes, and off-road vehicle (ORV) riders all make use of Capitol Forest’s extensive trail systems.

To prevent conflicts between user groups areas have been allocated for specific activities.  Motorized recreation, such as ORVs, is allowed on the northern half of the park, and horseback riding is limited to the south. Mountain bikers and hikers use both halves of the forest, with some trails limited to hikers only.

The Margaret McKinney Campground is located near the Waddell Creek entrance and handily offers access to Waddell Creek itself.

With 25 camp spots with designated areas for horse camping, potable water and several restrooms Margaret McKinney is a wonderful place to spend a weekend or a day.
