36mi from Aberdeen · 6 sites · Tents, RVs
Private property along the Quinault River between NFS land and Olympic National Park, adjacent to Colonel Bob Wilderness and just past The Quinault Nation reservation.
Homesteaders came here in 1890, prior to that there was no human habitation. A perfect base camp to explore the many varied facets of the West side of the Olympic Peninsula. The campsites are on acreage of a very small off-grid farm. Relax and forget the stress.
There are 6 tent sites and 2 small RV sites. Toilets are available, as well as trash bins, potable water, and picnic tables. We do not allow pets.
Guests love staying here: "This spot was everything we were hoping for and more! Awesome location near everything in Quinault. Received a fun, short tour of the property from our hosts who are incredibly nice.
The campsite was tidy and exactly what we imagined. Plenty of room
between us and our neighbors, and we barely knew that they were there. The outhouse is basic but clean and charming.
Imagine the friendliness of staying at a distant cousin's organic farm, with the facilities of a top-notch campsite. Only regret was that we were crashing there quickly, and weren't able to stay longer and relax on-site. If the description on the website seems like what you're looking for, I would highly recommend this location."

Merriman Creek is nestled under a canopy of old growth Maple Trees next to our Nightly Rental, The River's Edge, on the South Shore of Lake Quinault.
At the request of our nightly rental customers, we have added secluded dry camping sites for our guests and for those wanting to enjoy the Lake Quinault area. Due to USFS Campground closures and high demand, we are happy to provide a place for campers to spend a night or two as they enjoy Lake Quinault. The Hipcamp location is approx 100 yards away from our Rental House and it is secluded and provided. Preferably this is a walk-in tent site Hipcamp, but if the weather is dry, you may drive in with your car or camper van. Please be mindful of other campers as this is an open field nestled under old growth Maple Trees. Quiet Hours and respectful camping etiquette should be followed.
We have a communal fire pit in the middle of the 3 acre parcel, 7 sites in total and a clean and new Porta-Potty toilet. There is no water on site so please bring your own water. You may also bring your own portable propane fire pit should you wish not to use the communal fire pit. We hope this description helps!
Site 1 is best suited for a camper van. Everyone must pass by this site to get to the other sites. SIte 1 is also closest to the Porta Potty.
Site 5 and 6 are in the very back of the property and might be best if you are camping with another family. Site 7 is closest to the fire pit.
One tent per space please. You are welcome to message the Host for any questions, we are very accommodating and can also help you plan your trip and advise on things to do. We also have a brand new cabin 1/2 mile up the Valley from our Merriman Creek Hipcamp that also can be rented through the Hipcamp Platform.

9.68 acres of beautiful overgrown rock quarry. Explore boulders, a year round creek and waterfall under a thick forest.The property climbs 100 ft offering many trails to hike and much to discover. Being an out of commission rock quarry since probably the 70s, much of the roads have turned to grass offering a lot of space to play.
Around 10 minutes off i5 and you’d never know it. Many have remarked just how quiet it is.
Featuring a ~30 ft water fall, rock formations,
A year round creek that runs the length of the entire property. Enter the gate down and over the creek up and into the quarry overtaken by lichens, moss and mushrooms. a vast network of old mining roads then switchback up the ridge to a view of the valley.
Whether you come to hike and explore or just soak in the scenery with a light peaceful walk, this land is a gem.

A very peaceful site and I like that there’s only a handful of sites, a community kitchen and the host was super friendly, greeted upon arrival and left us alone (unless we needed something) which was awesome. Lots of nature and fun listening to the owls all night!

My partner and I absolutely loved the time we spent at this site. Jeremy (our host) was there to greet us on day 1 to show us the lay of the land. Jeremy's enthusiasm while showing us around let us know he was truly sharing something special. We had our choice of 3 fire pits and multiple places to pitch our tent. We chose to set up by the middle fire pit and use "the pit" fire pit.( Located in a cozy crater)
Very close by our tent was a waterfall that provided the perfect soundtrack for our whole stay. I was shocked at how well we both slept.
It was easy to get lost looking at all the large rock formations, moss, lichen, and trees around us.
It was simply magical.
Thanks Jeremy!

Pit Fall Campgrounds was the perfect getaway for me, my two dogs, and friend. You can hear some road noise, but it’s not too distracting. We all left feeling refreshed after our stay, and Jeremy was very welcoming and easy to talk to.

It's a small pasture surrounded by beautiful trees, there is no privacy from other campers but the sites are spread out. The site was all lush green grass even in Aug, I walked around barefoot most of the time. The huge maple trees were gorgeous, especially at sunset and sunrise. Negatives: our site was in direct afternoon sun (91° that day) it was hot, I asked Kellie a question through HC and she never answered, and the port-a-john was pretty gross, no toilet paper, hadn't been cleaned in 6 days.

One big, grassy field with sites lined up. Site #6 was at the very end so if you set up right, you might get better privacy than the other sites. No service and close to Lake Quinault. Next to a road so you might hear cars, but otherwise it's pretty quiet.

Came back with the whole family, dogs included for a second weekend of fun and adventure before school starts. Our kids range from 4 to 12 and they all had a great time exploring and creating. The dogs had just as much fun and are more tired than I’ve ever seen them. Such an awesome place to camp out!

Perfect spot for our one night stay! Just a few miles from Lake Quinault (South Shore), campsite was well maintained and site spacious enough for our campervan. The property was very quiet and peaceful. The mountain views were incredible. We especially enjoyed sunset and watching the herd of 40+ elk grazing down the road. The sites appear to be close together, and there were no other campers, so can 't really comment on crowded/not crowded, or noise concerns. Would we come back? Absolutely. Happy Camping!

We were having trouble finding a campsite and were relieved to book here last minute. That said, we were a bit disappointed. The sites are very close together, and it felt more like a shared field than individual campsites. If you enjoy primitive or private camping, this probably isn’t the spot for you. One frustrating moment was when other campers changed clothes right in the middle of the shared area, which felt uncomfortable and inconsiderate. Other than that great spot, beautiful scenery.
