Play all day. Stay all night. Tacoma Power's Alder Lake Park offers expansive campgrounds and access to water and fun.

If you don't mind being surrounded by gaggles of kids, people who run their truck engines for hour to charge cell phones, and generally miss the point of camping entirely, this is a great campground .
Unless you drive an RV, this particular area of the campgrounds is best. We used #239, which seems to be one of the better ones - other options we thought offered good privacy were 238, 221, and 222.
Probably the best place to swim close to Tacoma... But always crowded on weekends!
I like it :)
Alder Lake has a great swimming area and a dock to moore your boat or fish from.We love camping here.
Great lake for catching perch.Walk to the island, when the water level is low enough. Man made lake that can vary in depth. Not a good lake for speedboats or water skiing though. - Louis Gardino
