Sep 5, 2021 · What a great spot for shoulder season camping, and an easy drive from Tacoma! We stayed one night at the Dosewallips campground 6.5 miles into the old Dosewallips River Road. There weren't too many cars parked at the end of the road on Labor Day Sunday, so parking was easy.
The Dosewallips (pronounced “doh see WALL ips”) River is audible and occasionally visible through the trees on your left, and the top of 5,700-foot Mount Jupiter makes an appearance as well. In another 0.75 mile, the trail abruptly ends in a 300-foot-wide washout created when record floods destroyed the road in 2002.
