The best private sites RV campgrounds in Washington Coast

Stretching along the Pacific Ocean, from the Canada-US border clear down to the mouth of the Columbia River, the Washington Coast offers miles and miles of natural coastline, with sandy beaches, quiet coves, islands, and plenty of evergreen forest. Camp in ancient forests in Olympic National Park, take a whale-watching cruise through the San Juan Islands, or simply take a relaxing break in one of the region's many quiet fishing communities. And while cooler temperatures mean you probably won’t have much luck with your tan, what this region lacks in hot-and-sunny beaches, it more than makes up for with untouched natural beauty.

Welcome to Aliya Preserve. Originally owned by the developers of Kalaloch Lodge, this was slated to be an expansion site for the resort. That development would have drastically changed the land. Adam & Sara purchased the property in 2018 to preserve it. We enjoy sharing it with nature aficionados who respect the sacredness of the unblemished land and help us keep it pristine. From your mossy bank perched above the panoramic Pacific, beneath burley spruce tree boughs, magic sunsets unfold at your own super-private and secluded campsite with fire-pit. Adjacent to Olympic National Park, this is the same beach and bluff that defines Kalaloch, LaPush and and other wild Washington coastal icons. As the stewards of this land, we are now inviting respectful and responsible small groups and families to share its beauty. Without prior approval we allow only eight people per group— even when split between campsites. Please make sure to check the site *title* for number of campers allowed in each site. For example only two people are allowed in sites 1 and 4. Up to two dogs are allowed per site for a $25 perpup fee, which must be paid in the "extras" section at checkout {dogs enjoy the beach the most!!}

Come and take in the beauty of the expansive Hoh Rain Forest! This property is located along the lower Hoh River and features old growth maple trees, large ferns, and walking forest-to-river trails! Campsites are a short walking or driving distance to the river. We are only 5 miles from Ruby Beach, and 10 miles from Kalaloch. We offer guided Scenic River Floats down the Hoh River during the months of May-July. Best way to explore the Hoh river is to float it! This is truly a great location for a rustic, in the thick of nature experience. We offer campsites for Motorhomes, RV's, Travel Trailers, and Tents, so however you hope to get outside, we can accommodate! Maple Creek Outfitter is dedicated to creating positive outdoors experiences.

Water is available, near by campsites. There is no garbage collected. So please leave with what you brought with you.

We had a small mix-up when we first arrived—our site had been double-booked—but the host handled it incredibly well. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted quickly and that we were comfortable. I was super impressed with how professional and kind he was throughout the whole process. Once settled, the rest of the stay was pure magic. There’s a sense of peace that seems to permeate from this place—the kind you can feel deep down. The views of the Olympic coast are absolutely breathtaking, and you can tell the grounds are cared for with genuine pride and attention to detail. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully set up, with tons of extra amenities on hand—propane, pots, pans, and more—making the stay feel effortless. Truly one of those special spots that stays with you long after you leave. Highly recommend.

Been here a few times and it’s one of my favorite places in the world. Yup I said it. All the sites are great but site 4 is my fav. Never stayed in the cabins or the pods but those look cool too. Whenever I go here I don’t want to leave. Porta potties are always clean. Nice to have a sink right there. My friend took a hot outdoor shower that was a game changer. All around a magical trip! Thank you!

This was our second stay at Aliya Preserve. Last time, we only stayed one night as we were on a road trip. But it was so beautiful, we wanted to come back and have more time to enjoy the wind in the trees, the rumbling waves, and walks on the beach. This time we had a chance to view the sunsets in the evening, the fog drifting through the trees in the mornings and of course the amazing beach where I took too many driftwood pictures. The sites are well apart and it felt like we were the only ones there. I think we will have to make a trip here a yearly event.

We have been enjoying Aliya Preserve for several years. Our visits get better each time with memories, views, beachwalks, mushrooms, burl trees, foggy misty su-streaked forest, birds, wildlife... Beyond the natural, wild property, the amenities that Sara & Adam have provided are exceptional... outdoor hot-water shower, Dr. Bronners, clean potty's, visually pleasing signage, clean campsites, chairs & table, and much more. They continually improve the property to reduce human impact on the sensitive ecosystem. Much love

The best private sites RV camping in Washington Coast guide

Where to go

The Olympic Peninsula

From west of the Puget Sound all the way to the Pacific Ocean, the Olympic Peninsula is among the least developed expanses in the state. Its biggest draw is Olympic National Park, known for the rejuvenating Sol Duc Hot Springs, snow-clad Mount Olympus, and the old-growth groves of the Hoh Rainforest. While outdoor adventure is the area’s star attraction, the Olympic Peninsula also features a handful of cute coastal communities, including Port Angeles and Moclips.

Puget Sound

Between Seattle and the Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound is an inlet and estuary that offers solid opportunities for urban adventure and quiet repose. The eastern part of the sound is predominantly urban and dominated by the Seattle metro area, while the communities to the west offer a slower pace of life, with farms, state parks, and wineries. Vashon Island, Bainbridge Island, and Whidbey Island are all popular weekend getaways, with easy access to nature and camping.

The San Juan Islands & Northwestern Coast

Sandwiched between the Strait of Georgia and the Strait of San Juan de Fuca off the coast of northwest Washington, the San Juan Islands are known for their coastal forest scenery and outdoor adventure. The islands attract plenty of vacationers for camping, sea kayaking, and whale-watching. If you're short on time and don't want to take a ferry, stay on the mainland at the sprawling Larrabee State Park or the more compact Birch Bay State Park.

Washington’s South Coast

The southern Washington coast is characterized by wooded state parks and compact fishing communities. Popular spots include Leadbetter Point State Park, Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, and the town of Long Beach—though for truly epic ocean views, head to Cape Disappointment State Park, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean.
