Near Olympic National Park

Within a 60-minute drive from the Staircase.

The Prancing Unicorn Resort and Recreation (PURR) is an eclectic, boutique, private campground, located at the doorstep to the Olympic Peninsula. With easy access right off of Highway 101, it is a safe, convenient stay over for visitors to the Olympic National Park, adventurers exploring the coasts, and cyclists biking Pacific Coast Route. Disclaimer: We are not a traditional manicured country club campground resort and may not be for everyone. Please reserve at your own discretion. Our space is an art collective, makerspace and event venue that host art and music festivals. It is eclectic, and can be messy at times with on going art projects, but that adds to the charm. We also have a "junkyard" area on property where we collect materials for repurposing, that may be perceived as an "eye sore." Some of the art displayed may challenge your sensibility. However, if you come with an open mind and perspective, seeking a safe private rest stop for the night in an eclectic art festival setting and surrounded by the sounds of birds and wildlife, you will enjoy our space a lot more, and we welcome you!

Site 1 - RV Pull Through

Nice safe spot to stop overnight. Bathrooms and park were clean.

Site 3 - RV Pull Through

The nature of this campsite was lovely, the trees were beautiful and maintained and hearing the frogs and owls at night was relaxing. We noticed a few things right away that felt strange though. There were piles of unfinished projects, random old pieces furniture pushed aside but very visible, lots of old cars and RV’s stationed about, and the “lodge” itself has a very strange and creepy feeling to it. Everyone we came across that either lived on the grounds or helped run the campsite was kind, but there was no appointed person or host site to find for communication. As two women camping, we did have moments where we questioned the overall experience and were glad we had our very large and protective dogs with us. We made the most of our trip, but would not choose to camp here again. We enjoyed having other campers beside us and chatting with them.

Really peaceful, clean campground. Unfortunately the hot tub was closed for maintenance but I look forward to returning for another visit.

Peaceful, Pretty, and Clean.

I've encountered curious rabbit and deer, listened to the landing of geese, showered with a tree frog, and a tricky raven introduced themselves to show off their goose and eagle mimicry. Various songbirds. A ton of nature for a smaller well manicured campsite. All sorts of slugs and non-aggressive bugs. Barely any mosquito. No ants! Watch out for blackberry if you're barefoot ;)

Nice and quiet, very quick response from the host when we had questions. Purple trillium in the woods! Ducks and geese in the marsh, love the sound of them.

Good vibe at the Prancing Unicorn

I liked the set up of their campground. Access to bathrooms was nice, they were clean and well stocked. Loved some of the art around the site. Only thing it would benefit from would be a picnic table or two in the camping area.
