Olympic Adventure Campground is available to Both RV's & Tent Dry Camping.
The Camp Address is: 192602 US-101, Forks, WA 98331, USA.
Our Camp is situated on a little more than 5 acres out of our 18 acres of Dense Enormous Evergreen Forest. It is next to the road on Highway 101 but still offers our guests the wilderness experience and semi-privacy with tall trees surrounding the camp. We recommend that our guests use GPS to find Forks, WA, First. Once you find Forks, you will be able to find our camp.
Helpful Hints: If you are traveling from the South side of town: We are only about Half a Mile from the Northbound Edge of town on the Right. If you are traveling from the North side: Watch for milepost number 193. This means you are very close. Our camp will be on the left.
Our Sites were planned out and spaced to offer our guests plenty of "Elbow Room". Whether your travel plans are for pitching a Tent or parking an RV, we can help you with that. Each site has its own Details and Pricing for Booking your Reservations.
We very kindly ask our guests to be patient and adaptable if ever they encounter a booking issue at our camp. Surprisingly it does happen sometimes with the online booking websites. We experienced this problem over our busiest summer season in 2023. So this is why it can be stressful on both our guests and our hosts. We simply ask of our guests to have some mercy on us as we work very hard to accommodate you even if something goes wrong. However, if someone out there is not willing to consider and accept a change in their booking site as a result of a rare but possible booking issue, then they may need to look elsewhere to camp.
Regarding Electric Vehicles: The Fee for Charging an Electric Vehicle Overnight is a Flat Rate of $7.00. Please send us a message or call ahead if you are planning to bring one to our camp.
Here at Olympic Adventure Campground we work hard to ensure that our guests are content with their camp space and the surroundings. Most of our guests expect to have a quiet, peaceful stay. With this in mind, we have a strict rule in place: No Excessively Loud Vehicles are allowed to operate on our camp road. Some examples not allowed here: ATV (Example: Polaris), Dirt Racing Motorcycles, Race Cars.
RV Waste Water Holding Tanks:
We Kindly Ask our Guests the Following: Please arrive at our camp with an empty waste water holding tank. There is a place called Bogachiel State Park that has a dump station available for RV's at the flat rate of $5.00. It is located about 5 miles south of Forks, WA. There are also some rest areas along the I-5 freeway that have free dump stations. Please be mindful to not burden our septic system by arriving here with a full tank of waste water that was accumulated elsewhere.
When our guests accumulate waste water at our camp:
Dumping Cost: $10.00 per 20 gallons. There is another free dumping option. Ask us about it.
Some popular activities in this region include; hiking, fishing, kayaking, rafting trips. Lake Pleasant, as its name implies, located only 8 miles North of Forks is a lovely spot for swimming, boating. Please read the details of our camp listing as appropriate for your travel plans and for more information on our camp amenities and rules.
Thank You.

The best camping near Olympic National Forest guide
Overview
About
Want to visit a rain forest? Do it right here in Washington at this national park. The hypnotic trees seem to talk to you as you wander under the forest canopy.
It's a striking landscape covered with lush rainforests and moss-covered boulders. Waves crash on sandy beaches and snow-capped mountains give way to sprawling meadows. Being an isolated peninsula, the forest has many plants and animals found nowhere else in the world.
There's so much to explore—Lake Quinault, the Marymere Falls, the Skokomish River, and the Ancient Grove. You're likely to feel like you're in Middle-Earth! Take a deep, deep breath as you wander through the forest to see how pure air can really be.
Hook up your RV at a dozen campsites interspersed throughout the forest. Pitch your tent at any of 17 campgrounds. You can also head into the forest to find a spot to camp away from everyone else, or if you feel like a little luxury, rent a cabin. All camping is first-come, first served.
