Come enjoy the serenity of The Rustic Retreat. Located on 50+ private wooded acres, over a mile off the highway our tent sites will give you the peace and quiet you are looking for. The night sky is clear and perfect for star gazing. This place truly is a piece of heaven. As of right now we have large and small tent sites. There are ponds to look at and eventually they will be stocked with fish. The campsites are not completely flat and may have a few small holes so please be careful and watch your step. A lot of this property has been left natural for years and we are trying to keep it as natural as possible. We do suggest sleeping on an air mattress or camping pad for your comfort. We are just starting out so this place will get better and better as time goes on.
We at The Rustic Retreat value your privacy and we try not to interact with campers unless you request.
The Peninsula Northwest has some amazing activities including hiking, biking, fishing, crabbing, shrimping, whale watching, beach combing, Kayaking, and so much more. The Rustic Retreat is about 20 minutes from downtown Port Angeles and the Victoria Ferry and about 30 minutes from Lake Crescent. It is the perfect place to stay in between everything.
There is a communal firepit can be used by all campers until the Clallam County burn ban comes into affect. During the burn ban, the firepit will be closed off.
We also have walking trails, more lighting and parking. We have not been able to get fish in the ponds yet, however some wild ducks stop by now and again to say hi. The hiking trail head is down the dirt road, west of the porta potty, it is roughly 316 yards to the trail head. Walking and biking is allowed. Trail is very natural so it is uneven, please be careful.
2026 Update: The property The Rustic Retreat Campground in on, is for sale. We will try to keep all reservations throughout September as long as the buyer agrees. If you are interested in more information about the sale, just ask.

Very peaceful and nice location to Crescent Beach and a variety of recreation . Janelle was very helpful and made sure I was settled in ok. Both the options for camping are great and there is space and nature surrounding. Flynn the resident dog visited respectfully and we took a walk at dusk. It was nice to know he was around being so shepherdly sweet and friendly. I’ll be back.

Spot number one was perfect for my needs! I wish I had been able to stick around and enjoy the area but unfortunately, I just needed a place to pitch my tent to sleep for a night. I came in after dark and left before the sun came up, although my partner stayed a bit later. The campsite was easy to find easy to load in and out of large and quiet. I was grateful for this sites proximity to the Clallam County Fairgrounds.

Van camping in the Nook at Elwha was quiet and peaceful! The hosts were super accommodating of my last minute vehicle change and helped me find a place that would fit a large campervan. The bathroom was warm, which was perfect for showering after a week on the road, but also a bit far from my campsite (an oversight on my part). I’m not sure if this is normal, but both porta-jons near me were locked- didn’t have a chance to ask the hosts about it since I was mostly away during operating hours. Having WiFi was a nice surprise, which helped me stay in the loop about events planned at the fungi festival.
Overall, Very nice amenities and hosts!

The Ranger, ha ha inside joke. The GM was extremely helpful on finding the discovery Trail! He knew my first name, but I do not know his. This RV park has only been open for 2 1/2 months. What a wonderful facility. Very clean and well kept. Deer visited our campsite this morning! What a joy. Private individual shower/bathrooms. The whole facility is immaculate. It definitely checked all the boxes quite safe clean and friendly. Thank you so much! You made our visit to the Pacific Northwest a complete joy.

We tent camped on site T18. The signage was amazing and we never felt lost, unlike at some other HipCamps we have been to. The facilities were clean, showers hot. Plus, our car battery died and the owners came out and helped us at 6 in the morning, which just shows what good people are running this place. 10/10 would recommend and definitely plan on coming back next year!

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.

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.

Beautiful forest campground. We loved this campground because there is plenty of room for all the campers. Clean and well kept.

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.

Beautiful campground with a few short trails. Lots of spaces, we were able to get one on a Saturday afternoon without a problem. Decent drive to main trailhead but well maintained campground.

check the weather, prepare well food-wise, and bring bug spray or a natural bug repellant.

A small campground, we were lucky to have direct access to walk down to the lake from our campground.

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.

Go for one of the sites that has a view of the lake, it won't disappoint. There is a camp host on-site that sells firewood and ice. A well stocked general store, gas station, and forest service ranger station are all down the road near Lake Quinault Lodge.
