Site five
Great place to bring your dogs!
This was a lovely campsite,right between la push and realto Beach. The river sounds were amazing. We ended up having the entire place to ourselves

Site One
Warm and dry but musty sheets
We had a good experience, we arrived after dark and the host had sent a message explaining we would be in site 4 instead of site 1 but there were multiple tents and we were confused which tent was meant for us. The hosts came out after I messaged about being confused and brought a new propane tank for the heater which was great. We really liked that there was a couch inside the tent, it was raining so we stayed inside all night. One bed was comfortable but the sheets smelled a bit musty. The other bed we didn't use but it had several broken springs. I really liked that the heater also had a cooktop we were able to perculate our coffee inside the tent which was great but in the morning I went to use the portapotty and a big St. Bernard dog approached me and apparently went into the tent with another dog. My husband had to wrestle them out of the tent and was upset about it. We never knew if they were dogs of another camper or lived on the property but they were annoying. Overall it was a fine camping experience with a warm and dry place to sleep, but rogue dogs and musty sheets made it less than perfect.

Site Three
Poorly Maintained and Unsecured
I recently had the unfortunate experience of staying at Site Three and while normally I like to go-with-the flow, I feel the need to leave a bad review for the first time.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the campsite was not maintained properly. The overall cleanliness left much to be desired, with litter scattered around and a general lack of attention to hygiene. The facilities were far from advertised, the entire place had a bit of an abandoned feeling.
Site 3 was a mess. Dirty dishes and trash from previous residents were left behind and it was clear the sheets have never been washed. Our host asked if we wanted to move to site 2 through the app and we did, setting up. The floor of Site 2 was damp, but we set up in the dark and managed to sleep. We woke up to find the 2 site dogs poking their heads through a hole in the back wall, on further inspection, we had not noticed a long slash in the wall of the tent when we arrived in the dark. Rain had come in at night, and dampened some of our belongings. More concerning, was that the wall had been open to wildlife through the whole night. When we checked, this hole had been poorly taped over some time ago with clear packing tape and then left.
The disregard for cleanliness, false advertising of amenities, and the compromised nature of the site left us with a negative impression. I strongly advise against considering this campsite for anyone thinking about choosing this site in Forks.

Site four
Nice river ruined by a man muppet.
I wasn't going to mention that I found clothing from prior campers in our tent.
I wasn't going to mention that the camp owners dogs, in addition to begging regularly, attacked the small dog that was on leash in our camp.
I wasn't going to mention that the camp owners dogs tore the trash bags at our campsite which caused a large mess.
I wasn't going to mention that our trash was never removed in the four days we were on site.
I wasn't going to mention that the toilets were forming mountains of poop erupting from the tranquil urine sea like new volcanic islands.
However, my lack of enthusiasm for writing this review all changed when some obese man-child who appeared pretty chummy with the owners accosted my daughter about the trash around our campsite. The same trash and mess that the owner's dogs had created. When I approached this Danny Devito cosplaying as Carl Brutananadilewski lookin' dude about talking to a young child instead of one of the men in our group he got super aggressive and threatening about the situation: he was clearly triggered. It was odd, but a woman with him encouraged an ending to our party and I obliged. It's not wise to fight a drunk baboon before noon, or so I've been told.
I didn't want to write this, but people travelling with families and children should be aware that there are dogs and an aesthetically handicapped baboon nearby that could disrupt your stay.
The river was pretty nice.

Site Six
If you go really prepared with all your stuff and just expect a place to sleep it’s fine. There are only 2 or 3 outhouses on the whole site and they were really full which is pretty yucky. Also would be nice if there were places on the river bank to sit. The tent and bedding were clean and warm enough. One of the mattresses was super springy and not comfortable. A place to wash dishes would be really helpful, just a rudimentary sink with a faucet even.
