This is a “meet and greet” campsite where I place you according to your camping needs (remote/close to facilities, Rv/tent, size of party, etc). I have to be on site at your arrival, so please keep me informed of your expected arrival time. Note: I love hosting campers with dogs. However, I have had two sheep put down due to attacks by guest dogs. My very friendly dog has been attacked by guest dogs. I no longer have sheep, because I won’t endanger them. You need to verify that your dog is not aggressive.

Private, quiet campsites in the Quinault River Valley, just passed Lake Quinault--no crowds, just forest and space to breathe. Set in the lush Quinault River Valley, this quiet, private retreat offers a perfect basecamp between National Forest land and Olympic National Park, just beyond the Quinault Indian Nation and near the wild beauty of the Colonel Bob Wilderness. Surrounded by towering evergreens and rich forest, this small off-grid farm has a long history dating back to 1890—giving the land a grounded, timeless feel you won’t find in typical campgrounds. The Camping Experience Simple, spacious, and intentionally low-key: * 6 total campsites * 2 sites suitable for small RVs or camper vans * Picnic tables at each site * Tent pads * Fire ring * Clean, well-maintained outhouse toilets * Potable water and trash service Sites are spread out for privacy, so you can relax without feeling crowded—many guests mention how peaceful and quiet it feels. The Vibe This isn’t a packed campground. It’s more like staying on a peaceful, working homestead—calm, welcoming, and connected to nature. What Guests Say “Everything we hoped for and more… quiet, spacious, and welcoming. Like staying at a distant cousin’s organic farm—with the ease of a well-run campsite.” Good to Know * Off-grid and rustic (no hookups) * No pets allowed * Best for guests who value quiet, nature, and simplicity Why Stay Here You’re close to hiking, rainforest trails, and the many landscapes of the Olympic Peninsula—but at the end of the day, you come back to stillness, open space, and the kind of quiet that’s hard to find.

Weekend Trip to Elwha RV Park

I had a great experience in the campground. I stayed in the tent area, which was tucked away from the RV area. Unfortunately, the sites were pretty damn close to each other, but I was lucky enough to have the area all for myself. The campground had a clubhouse with a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms with a shower. As a woman travelling solo, I felt safe the whole time I was there. Lots of families everywhere with kids playing and laughing. It was a great experience. I would most definitely come back! Oh, and they guided me to my campsite in a golf cart. I thought that was a pretty cool touch. Very friendly and proactive staff!

Weekend Trip to Deer Park Mountain View RV Campsite

We wanted a convenient "base camp" for a couple of nights to explore the northern part of the Olympic National Park, and this location worked out really well. Great location for access to Hurricane Ridge and Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. Easy access, and I was aware ahead of time what side the hookup was on, so it did not pose a problem. And three deer showed up on the second day, so we got to enjoy their company for 10 minutes, which was nice.

Great place for jumping off and exploring the Olympics. Beautiful large camp sites, clean bathroom/porta-potty and a very nice new shower. Neighbors rooters do get to screaming early, but host has earplugs available. This host has taken a lot of care in their property and it shows. They have thoughtfully and thoroughly described everything you need to know about the place and they have done a great deal to make it a wonderful place to camp. Teresa has many suggestions that you only get from a local. It is important to note that she does tell u that the fire is comunal so take note. All the sites are large and comfortable. You can’t go wrong here!

Weekend Trip to Elwha RV Park

Perfect size campground for our 6-person tent. It was a little closer to another campsite than we’d typically prefer but there were no issues. Showers/bathrooms were spacious and clean, which is a huge plus (most places the bathrooms are eh)! Super close to Hurricane Ridge area of Olympic NP and Port Angeles, while still feeling tucked away and secluded.

Chris's land was incredible, so many things to do and beauty everywhere. A great spot for jumping off to see all the things in the area. The site itself was perfect for our car camping needs, nestled into the trees so it felt private but did not feel cramped. Bathrooms were super clean! Will definitely be back when we are in the area

Easy to find. Clean porta potty. Fantastic shower. Grass is definitely tall so if you have allergies it's too early for the grass to have dried out in the spots. Loved the trees around.

The campground is really well maintained and very clean. It's nice and quiet at night, and the common areas are great! The bathrooms were spotless and the hot shower after a day of hiking is a godsend! Some of the tent sites are close to each other, but not cramped together, so you still get enough room and privacy. The staff is great and they had great suggestions for where to go explore depending on your interests, and the campground's app is great as a resource too!

Olympic National Forest camping guide

Overview

About

Want to visit a rain forest? Do it right here in Washington at this national park. The hypnotic trees seem to talk to you as you wander under the forest canopy.

It's a striking landscape covered with lush rainforests and moss-covered boulders. Waves crash on sandy beaches and snow-capped mountains give way to sprawling meadows. Being an isolated peninsula, the forest has many plants and animals found nowhere else in the world.

There's so much to explore—Lake Quinault, the Marymere Falls, the Skokomish River, and the Ancient Grove. You're likely to feel like you're in Middle-Earth! Take a deep, deep breath as you wander through the forest to see how pure air can really be.

Hook up your RV at a dozen campsites interspersed throughout the forest. Pitch your tent at any of 17 campgrounds. You can also head into the forest to find a spot to camp away from everyone else, or if you feel like a little luxury, rent a cabin. All camping is first-come, first served.

A great find!

Klahowya Campground

We found a site by the Sol Duc River that was beautiful and private. The tent site had plenty of room, we were a long way from the main road, the picnic table was good. All in all, a good place to camp. It did rain lightly most of the time, so be advised that it is in a fairly wet part of the world.

Dungeness Forks Campground

The sites are small (I didn't mind) but the views and the big trees were really cool. The campground isn't far from a store and a gas station, and if you keep going down South Shore road, you will see some pretty stuff; I was there in May and everything was lush and green, the little streams and waterfalls were still quite robust; beautiful!

This campground is closed pending renovations. They need to remove trees that are in danger of falling. A commercial timber project is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2019 before work to reopen the campground can be completed.

Site #14 - Best back-in trailer/RV spot. fairly private. River access. Site #15 - Best multiple RV spot. Huge parking, flat area. Visible from the road which can be a bummer, especially in the fall. Wading pond can be stagnant during the summer (mosquitoes!). Good river access.

Site #11 - Overall good site, decent trailer parking if a bit shallow. Good water access and reasonably private, especially in the spring. Site #12 - Excellent site, parking can be very tough for pulled trailers, low overhead (loops around a tree). Very private, good almost private river access due to up and downriver obstructions. Can be shady in the morning. Site #13 - My favorite, good for back-in trailers. A bit of a steep dip from the parking to the main camp area, but private with excellent access to the river.

Site #8 & #9 If you're bringing the whole block up for a party these are the sites for you. Lots of parking space (I've seen a camper truck, 2 SUV's and a sedan parked there at the same time). Huge open space and large access to the river behind the sites. Site #10 - in throwing distance to #8 and #9, so risk of partygoers getting all up in your business. If you're good with that or the partiers are not up that weekend, then it's an excellent site. Good river access and parking. Nice flat areas for multiple tents.

Sites #5 & #6 - Good sites with access to both the feeder stream and the river behind the sites. Close together so good for large families or party goers. If you have too many people for two sites -- then #4 is a good overflow site for this group area. Tent only as the parking is for both sites and not easily accessed. Site #7 - if you show up late on a friday or weekend chances are this is the only site left. Very exposed on 3 sides and faces the ranger board and pay site. No water access. Pretty much tent only - there's not really any parking

Sites #1 & #2 are good for large family groups, or a set of families. They are separated by brush and a fallen tree, but are still very accessible to each other. There is a steep drop off behind the sites to a feeder stream. No direct river access. Site #3 has no direct water access, but is fairly isolated from the rest of the campground. Shady, and easy to back into. Good for a small group or large family. Site #4 is a shallow, and very open site. Good if you don't care if everyone can see you. No direct river access. Drop off behind the site to the feeder stream.

Collins Campground was AMAZING. The campsites are gorgeous, especially the ones right on the river. We had scoped it out ahead of time, and were hoping to get site #12 with the little pull-through for vehicles, but it was taken when we got there so we ended up with #13. Which was a blessing in disguise, because it was chilly in the mornings, and we noticed that our neighbors didn't get any sunlight through their trees; however, our site was a bit more open and so it warmed up nicely. Try to bring plenty of water, because even though there IS water available at the Interrorem cabin a mile and a half away, it's well water (and if you are not used to it, the color might turn you off a bit.)

Loved the couple days we spent here! The bonus (for me, anyways!) was that they were one of a handful of campgrounds on the Olympic Peninsula that allowed campfires during the burn ban. Also, the little general store in Brinnon is conveniently located just a couple minutes away, in case you forgot the milk/ketchup/butter/forks (yes, we forgot ALL of those LOL)

Excellent place to camp early or late in the season. Large shady sites with easy access to the shore of Hood Canal. Be aware of Oyster harvest rules and regs before harvesting. All shells must be returned to the beach.
