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.

Very nice campsite. We enjoyed the curious cows watching us set up our tent! The campground is centrally located between Rialto/La Push beaches and Forks, which made it ideal for exploring the area. We’d definitely camp here again!

The Twilight Dome was an amazing and magical place to stay. The property was welcoming and well kept. Beautiful wooded setting close to town. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get away for a relaxing time away from the busy city life.

Great base camp for the port Angeles area, obvious improvements in progress including new functioning septic system and looks like a shower soon to be. Very clean and comfortable. Compared to local hotel accomodations a much better choice to stay here. Thanks again!

We loved our stay at the twilight dome. The campsite was nice and quiet, a perfect weekend getaway. Roxanne was very responsive to all of our questions and went above and beyond getting us prepared for arrival. The dome itself is plenty big for 2 people and the provided gas fire pit put off a lot of heat. The cows were not very noisy at all. The campsite is not very far from a market if you need anything. Excellent stay, excellent host, 10/10 would recommend.

We enjoyed our two nights tent camping at Roxanne's site #4. The location was conveniently located between Forks and the beach whilst providing its own unique atmosphere. The provided porta potty was clean and other guests were respectful of quiet hours. We would certainly consider staying again in the future.

Campsite 6 is tucked away for a little bit more privacy.

This site felt private and secluded, I can’t believe how incredibly quiet it was - the cows didn’t make any noise and the neighbors were generously quiet as well. Next time I’ll stay in spot 5 with the small yurt! And the handwashing station next to the loo was a saving grace, thank you!! I’ll definitely camp here again next time I’m in the area, my dogs and I felt perfectly safe.

Great spot - with plenty of privacy and space between other sites - just off the beaten path to relax after a day out exploring the area. Close to everything but just far enough away. My dog and I only spent a night there, but we could've easily spent a few nights there if I had more time. Staying on the edge of an open meadow was a unique PNW camping experience you usually don't get staying in a cramped state park or national forest campground deep in the forest. It was cloudy the night I was there, but I also imagine the stargazing is top-notch on a clear night. Do yourself a favor and check this spot out. The hosts bent over backwards to make our stay memorable and comfortable. The freedom and solitude of dispersed camping in a remote spot but with the amenities and service of glamping. Mike and Kira have a really amazing vision for the property. Daisy also does a great job welcoming (and romping with) your canine companions and I'm sure hopes you bring them along. If/when I'm in the area again, I will be camping here again.

The cabin was small but had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The construction going on on the property didn't keep the kids from outdoor fun. The neighboring goats were added bonus.

Stayed here for a birthday trip and it was awesome! The little details were so fun, but I won’t spoil the surprise here. The dome was so comfy and warm, and it was really cozy to watch the rain fall on the skylight. There’s also a fun little game area, although it was a bit rainy when we were there. Such an unique and fun stay. We loved it!
