Muddy Wild Campground in Washington
Host Jen Lee Zhang says:
Welcome to Muddy Wild, a 30-acre retreat perched on a high bank of the Sol Duc River—one of the Pacific Northwest’s most famous salmon rivers. Campsites sit near the water, without direct river access, all sites are tucked back from the road and away from traffic noise, offering peace, quiet, and forest views.
For fishermen, Muddy Wild is an ideal base: there’s ample room to park your boat, and the Wilson Boat Launch is less than 3 minutes away on the opposite side of La Push Road. Cast into legendary salmon and steelhead waters by day, then return to a quiet forest campsite by night.
For travelers and adventurers, the property sits along the path of the upcoming Olympic Discovery Trail, a 135-mile route across the Olympic Peninsula and part of the future Great American Rail-Trail. Iconic destinations are all close by:
La Push & Rialto Beach – 15 min
Forks – 10 min (Twilight stops, dining, groceries)
Hoh Rain Forest – 1 hr
Lake Crescent – 45 min
Hurricane Ridge – 1 hr
Campsites are set in forest clearings with space from the river. Amenities include picnic tables, a propane BBQ grill, an animal-proof trash container, and a weekly serviced sani-can. With no hookups, power, or water, this is authentic dry camping—perfect for disconnecting, whether you’re here to fish, explore, or simply unwind.
