About Ike Kinswa State Park

Ike Kinswa State Park sits on the shores of Mayfield Lake in southwest Washington, 121 sites spread across wooded loops with RV hookups, tent sites, and heated cabins. Sites run $20–30 per night and fill quickly on summer weekends. The park draws boaters, swimmers, and anglers looking for lake access paired with forested privacy.

Fall brings fewer crowds and cooler air. Winter camping is possible but expect rain and occasional snow.

Natural Features and SceneryMayfield Lake dominates the park's landscape, fed by the Tilton and Cowlitz rivers where they meet the reservoir. Tall conifers shade most campsites and provide screening between spots, though some sites open directly onto the water. A roped swimming area marks the designated beach. At 518 feet elevation, the park sits low enough to avoid alpine chill but still offers forested surroundings typical of the Cascades foothills. Reviewers note the lake views from waterfront sites and the tree cover throughout the loops.
