    Anyone know of any places south of Tacoma off i5 that I could pull the truck up to and camp for a night?
    Ideally be able to have a small fire as well.
    I looked on free campsites.net and campendium but everything listed seems to be either a parking lot or is closed for the winter.
    Seems like I might be out of luck

    All Bureau of Lands Management campsites are free through May-ish? Although, it doesn't look like there is any managed land near I-5:

    There are a few State Parks near I-5 the seem like they might be open:

    Using the reservation system is probably your best bet this time of year to know for sure.

    Thanks, those help a lot! The other sites I found didn't have up to the date availability.
    I'm on a trip for work, and sometimes timing changes and I end up needing to find something last minute if i don't want to stay in another hotel.

    You're welcome!

    I hear you. I'd rather camp than hotel.
