Relax on the shores of the Strait of Juan de Fuca at this hidden off grid gem! Our philosophy on camping is that it should be enjoyed while immersed in nature and as comfortable and private as possible. Enjoy the 10+ Acres PRSRV Surf has to offer where our nearest neighbor is miles away, just the way we like it:) That isn’t to say there’s not locals🦭 Daily seal sightings are not just common, they’re expected! Some call it the “Seal sanctuary of the Strait!” This stretch of coast line accessible only from the PRSRV is also home to otters, whales, crabs, eagles and more! Explore the miles of uninhabited beaches boasting some of the best fossil hunting on the Olympic Peninsula! In addition to the natural wonders of the PRSRV, we offer private, comfortably separated, sites that can accommodate tent campers and some for Vans up to 22ft. Each campsite features its own ~10x10 tent pad, fire pit, parking spot, and amazing views of the Strait! *Be sure to book the sauna package at checkout! **Please note as this property is on a hillside, the road is steep but easily doable.

The views wow! The highlights for us were the sauna and the private access beach with great rock hunting. We have a pretty large 6 person tent and we made it work at this spot. Recommend bringing some twinkly lights to light your downhill path from the car to the tent.

We loved camping here. Such wonderful private beach access, the sauna was fantastic at the end of the day, the view from strait overlook was wonderful and we even saw shooting stars at night. I believe we heard seals and the boats going through the strait at night, but overall quite spot. We were able to visit Lake crescent and Sol duc Hot springs with an easy drive away. The owner's dog was friendly with our children. Port-a-johns were well maintened. We would be happy to camp here again!

Very easy to find. Teresa was so accommodating. Our boys had fun on the zipline. They are still small and needed help to get on and zip. The yard toys kept them entertained. The tire swing is by a campsite and it’s not easy to play on. The rope is very sharp and prickly. We stayed in the RV. It had everything we needed. The beds are all comfortable. The pull out couch is a little short for an adult to sleep on but still comfortable. My kids enjoyed seeing bunny poop and then finding the bunny around camp. The outdoor shower was refreshing and with a warning to be quick from my husband I actually felt like I had plenty of time with hot water. So nice to feel clean and have so much room to move around. The portable toilets were very clean. Thank you Teresa for opening your land to us travelers. We would absolutely stay again.

Very nice RV park! Bathrooms were very clean and although the showers were cold, they had people immediately working to fix it, the general store has anything you need. Only complaint is that the raid is loud but not much they can do about that lol!

Weekend Trip to Shadow Mountain RV & Campground

The only real "complaint" I have was the noise, but we went in knowing that, because it was in the description so honestly can't complain too much about it, the highway is right there maybe about 100 feet from the site. One of the nights the water was cold but the other days it was fine. Besides that, it was a great campsite. The tent wasn't huge but we were able to fit 2 inflatable beds, 1 twin and 1 queen, we just moved the cots to the side, and there was 4 of us in there. No wifi, service wasn't the best but we were able to make calls or send texts every now and then. There's a little store right there which was nice, they have camping stuff, snacks and drinks. Lake Crescent was about 10 minutes away. Personally I would recommend this to others.

Great beach access! Dogs had a great time. Lots if wildlife. Very quiet. A small tent is ideal for these tent sites. Larger tents may have a problem. Host was very helpful providing information on wildlife and fossils. Missed the driveway 1st pass, much easier to see if coming from the west.

Beautiful location overlooking the water! We were able to find a nice flat parking spot for our rooftop tent vehicle. Lots of cool banana slugs & other interesting critters. The owner was very understanding when we mixed up our reservation dates and the camp host Rand was very nice. Highly recommend the sauna package! The shower is nice to have after a long day of hiking but the water is cold - the sauna is right next to it & a great way to warm up. The This stretch of Washington has very limited cell service but we had decent coverage with AT& T at the campsite. We would definitely stay here again.

Where to go

Olympic National Park

Olympic National Park has 73 miles of coastline to explore, four rainforests with tons of hiking trails, hundreds of lakes, and 4,000 miles of rivers and streams. It’s a backcountry camping paradise—but campers should bring a tarp in case of rain (the park receives 12 feet of rainfall per year). RVers will find campsites with a variety of amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, and hookups for electricity and water. After setting up camp, spend the day traversing the trail from Rialto Beach to Hole-in-the-Wall to check out the tidal pools bursting with underwater life.

Lake Ozette

Get a waterfront view when camping year-round at Lake Ozette, a 45-minute drive from La Push. Most campgrounds found here are rustic, with pit toilets and potable water but no hookups. Go whale watching from one of the boardwalk trails that heads toward the coast, or follow another trail to Sand Point to view 54 ancient petroglyphs. Then kayak the lake and explore three small islands—Tivoli, Garden Island, and Baby Island. Ozette Lake is teeming with fish and is also home to a boat-in campground so anglers can wake up on the water.

Sol Duc Valley

East of La Push, Sol Duc Valley delivers lush, old-growth rainforests and iconic fishing. For hiking, hit up the Sol Duc Falls Trail that weaves throughout the stunning landscape toward a pounding 48-foot high waterfall. Anglers should check out Sol Duc River for year-round fishing for salmon, steelhead, and trout. Then, pay a visit to Sol Duc Hot Springs, where three mineral pools warmed by volcanic rocks create a soothing spot to relax. Shoreline campsites dot the river and offer services for both tents and RVs, with amenities ranging from picnic tables and firepits to restrooms and potable water taps.

When to go

La Push has an oceanic climate with warm summers and rainy winters. The mild temperatures make camping year-round appealing. August is the warmest month and a great time for ocean swimming, while November through January see the most rainfall. If chasing waterfalls is on the agenda, the best time to see them is in April and May, when the snowpack is melting.
