Quaint spot right on the river. Everything you need for primitive camping. Friendly host, knowledgeable about fishing.

Kelsey is a great host with a beautiful spot very close to Rialto Beach. The directions were very clear and he was super accommodating. He suggested I pick a zone closest to the water which didn’t disappoint when the herd of elk came to drink, and then cross the river at 8:30 one night. It was a memorable hip camp experience for sure!

Great spot right along the river with big camping spots. Bring a fishing pole or a few chairs to sit along the bank. Very pretty sunset

Great campground, friendly host and beautiful spot!
Kelsey is a great camp host with lots of information to share and is genuinely happy to have you stay on his land. He shared strategies and fishing lures to the kids to help them catch fish. If you need firewood, an entire bucketload was $40, which lasted us days. Highly recommend!

Shangri-la Quileute Camping
Peaceful river side campground. Nicely shaded, friendly host. Everything was easy to find with good sized sites. Choices for river side or meadow camping. All the sites had newer picnic tables and decent fire pits. Outhouse was very clean and fresh smelling. Killer location 5
Minutes from Rialto beach. Higher price site though (hoping this is to help add sites into his acreage) if you are bringing a dog especially one who’s a bit anxious be aware the host makes his rounds with his own pup off leash which made our pup a bit nervous.
Was a great experience overall. We will be back. Definitely a nice change from the busy campgrounds.

We had a great time at Shangri-la! The views were beautiful, we took our chairs down and sat by the river. The potty was also very clean! Would definitely camp here again.

Kelsey is an excellent camp host! This is our second time here and we had a wonderful 5 days of camping. The land is clean and well maintained, and we couldn’t ask for a better host. Kelsey is very friendly and hospitable, and he has vast knowledge of the local activities and wildlife. He’s generous with tips and insights for those looking to fish or explore. We are very grateful to get the chance to stay here, and will be coming back yearly!

Wonderful campsite nestled in the grove at the river front, Kelsey was a hands on host with the goal of connecting with campers and ensuring an easy experience.

A very laid-back campground near Rialto Beach & La Push, the host/owner Kelsey was welcoming and warm.
We visited in early August and we could have brought fishing gear and made the most of the spot with a day of fishing in the river- the water was low but there is so much life in and around the river. Elk and eagles are a common sight.
Be careful & slow driving into the campground- there are dogs, cars, & people running around, and the dirt road is a bit bumpy.
This was the most we've paid for a campground outside of a music festival, but it was much more private/quiet compared to the Mora campground, where we stayed the night after.

Amazing spot. Kelsey found us a spot to park our car and teardrop trailer with plenty of room and distance from other campers. So convenient to Second Beach and Rialto. We plan to stay again!

Truly exceptional camp ground right on the Quiluete River. Kelsey was an awesome host and it was a pleasure getting to know him. He had a lot to offer about places to go and things to do and I hope to be back soon to go fishing with him! He was very accommodating in reserving three campsites for our group so we could all be next to each other, which isn't always the case as the sites are usually first come, first served.

We camped in our camper van and had friends in tents. Beautiful property! Host is so friendly. We were celebrating a birthday and he came over a couple times to check in on us and wish a happy birthday. The river is so peaceful and we saw wildlife. We'll be coming back!

We loved this place except the fact there are no showers. With 3 girls in my clan it was hard to come from the beach and not have a way to get sand and salt out of hair. We decided to leave a day early. Special place :)

Kelsey was super friendly and helpful upon arrival. The campsite was clean, and spacious. Also, it's worth noting the portapotty was SUPER clean. I've stayed in many campground bathroom far worse than this one. 10 out of 10, would totally stay here again.

Beautiful area on the river! We got a great spot, but it should be noted that the sites are first come first serve, and there seems about 5 spots right on the river and another 5 that are definitely not as nice, situated further into the woods.

The hosts were extremely nice and the camping spot was great! We only stayed one night and it was everything we were looking for. The camp is very close to all the amazing Olympic coast sights and it is private. We definitely enjoyed the hot shower and the WiFi for looking up different spots and tide charts. 10/10 would recommend.

The camp was nice and well maintained with a nice view.
Picked a spot which was first come first serve. Unbeknownst to us the spot we were in was “reserved”. No signs or anything to indicate this. We were asked to move (politely and apologetically) so we packed up our fully set up camp and moved to another spot. Nobody ever showed to that spot.
Could be coincidence but we noticed the other campers that were near us just staring at us to the point of discomfort. Could be that maybe we took their missing parties spot, maybe just nosey; who knows. But being asked to move and then nobody showing just left a crappy feeling.

We had a wonderful time at Kelsey's. He is welcoming and can offer suggestions for places to see and do in the area. We spent the few days we had there playing in the river, fishing, and watching eagles. It was such a beautiful place. We are already missing waking up on the river. Kelsey's was very clean including the toilets. We will definitely be back!

Kelsey has built a beautiful campground right by the river. You feel the pride of ownership. The sites are clean, as are the facilities. Access to the river is easy. It's the perfect spot to explore the Olympic Coast beaches or to unwind. Kelsey is a great host. He makes you feel right at home. I would definitely return.

We absolutely loved the Shangri-la Quileute campsite! We had the best spot overlooking the river, which was absolutely gorgeous. We were so surprised that we had the whole place to ourselves for the night. The site is close to all the things you might want to do in the area like Rialto Beach and the La Push Beaches. So grateful to have stumbled upon this gem. We will definitely be back!

What a piece of property! Right on the river, but still close to all the beaches on the coast west of Forks. We stayed four nights (two of which we had entirely to ourselves after a busy Labor Day weekend) and got out every day to explore the beaches.
Our 28' Airstream trailer fit nicely in one of the upper sites away from the river, but that gave us more privacy and it's only a 1 min walk down there.
A great Hipcamp experience!

Awesome campsite with a river view! Can watch the sunset from the river and Rialto beach is just a few minutes away. Such a great location for exploring. I went to Rialto, first beach, hiked to second beach and drove to Ruby beach all in one day and it was so nice to have the campsite to come back to at the end of the day.
