Camping rules worth knowing in Washington

Trust land is worked land you are allowed onto
The Department of Natural Resources holds 3 million acres of federally granted trust lands, with about 546,000 acres of State Forest Transfer trust land and a further 80,000 acres of State Forest Purchase trust land on top. Trust land exists to earn money for schools and counties, which is why gates, active logging and haul traffic are normal there and why the recreation rules read the way they do. Source 18
The state runs 80 campgrounds, and they are free
The Department of Natural Resources manages 80 campgrounds across the state, first come and first served, with a Discover Pass on the vehicle and no separate camping fee. In a state where national park and popular forest campgrounds book out months ahead, that is the most useful sentence in this guide for anyone travelling without a plan. Source 17
Fire restrictions are set by whoever protects the ground
The DNR uses burn restrictions and, when conditions call for it, a Commissioner order burn ban, which stops outdoor fires on all state, county, city and private land under DNR fire protection, including state forests, DNR-managed forestland and DNR campgrounds. Breaking one is a crime, and anyone whose fire escapes pays for the crews and equipment that put it out. Restrictions change through the season and by region, so read the DNR burn portal for state ground and the managing forest or park for federal ground before you plan a meal around a fire. Carry a stove with a shut-off valve so a ban does not change your dinner. Source 21
