I organize a Jeep Meetup Group and we did a run and camping earlier this month. We love this place!! In fact, we have discussed making this a regular place for our group.
Some of the information in this listing is incorrect. I spoke with a State Ranger and they NO LONGER take reservations for any days of the year at Camp Spillman. The campground is open 7-days a week, with season closings in the winter.
There are 10 campsites, with some being larger and able to accommodate RVs and multiple tents. Others are small and can only accommodate 2 or 3 tents. There are NO RV HOOKUPS, no running water, and no garbage service.
There is a creek that runs along the campground. There is also a built-in amphitheater with a large fire ring.
Washington Discover Pass is REQUIRED and Rangers do patrol.
If you are a 4x4'er, they do have restrictions on wheel width. Jeep Wranglers and Cherokees are great, I'd imagine that smaller Toyotas and the like would be fine too. However, large trucks will not fit on most trails.
Trails are very well marked and maintained. Most water/mud holes are great fun and minimal risk of getting stuck in the mud, because they have gravel bottoms.
Here is a link to the trail map on nwjeepn.com:

I highly recommend Tahuya for offroading beginners.

Went here with friends and loved the trails!!! kinda hard to find your way back but the bikers are friendly and showed us the way back to camp :) I WOULD recommend this camp ground for everyone who loves nature! its very quite besides the dirt bikes and quads. but there not that bad :)im going back next weekend :)
Due to vandalisim in this area all the campgrounds located in the Tahuya State Forest now require a combination for the numerous locks located on the gates to get in. Very rarely are any of the formal campgrounds open. There are places to pull out and dry camp but they are staging areas for the ATVrs and motorcyclers that come here and it can be quite noise. We have also found that camp Spillman is usually very very trashed with the interior roads rough and ripped up by the off-roaders and garbage all over the place. We would not recomend it as a good place to camp.

Whether you just need to know where to camp nearby or you want to plan a free camping road trip, we've got you covered. You can simply use your smart phone's GPS to find camping near you or even use our trip planner to plan your route from coast to coast.
Our community provides the best free camping information available. Free campgrounds can be hard to find. Freecampsites.net makes it easy. We give you a simple, map based search engine to find free and cheap camping areas. Community reviews and ratings provide you with up to date information and help you select the best camp site for your next camping trip.
This is a platform for sharing campgrounds and camp sites you have discovered. We are community driven, and while we will be adding many free camping spots, we hope that you will add some of your favorite camping places as well. By sharing camping information freely, we can all spend less time researching campgrounds, spend less money, and more time camping. If everyone contributes a few campsites, we'll all have more places to go camping.
Please come back and let us know what you find! User reviews help other campers decide on their next camping destination. The more information you have, the more informed your decisions.
Whether you enjoy tent camping, car camping or RV camping, our goal is to help you find the best places to go camping. We believe that free camping areas are often the most beautiful and peaceful camp sites. Our focus is on public lands. You own these lands and you are entitled to use them. We especially like camping on Forest Service land, BLM (Bureau of Land Management) areas, WMA's (Wildlife Management Areas) and county or city parks. We hope you enjoy the same style of camping.
We are not actively seeking Wal-Marts, truckstops or other parking lots and will not be adding very many of these. There are enough Wal-Mart and truck stop directories out there already. However, if a member of the community finds one of these locations to be useful for overnight RV parking and creates an entry, we may approve the listing.
Clean free camping. Peaceful
