The campsite offers a serene and private setting, with spacious sites and a charming river nearby, ideal for those who appreciate nature and solitude. However, the access road can be challenging, especially in wet conditions, and the port-a-potties are frequently reported as poorly maintained. Many campers enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of the location, finding it a great spot for those who don't mind rustic conditions. Despite some logistical challenges, the natural surroundings and seclusion are often highlighted as major positives.

Site 6
Pros: Great location, very close to forks and the beaches, pretty river fairly close within walking, sites are spread out well.
Cons: for the price per night you would think the porta potty would be well kept, couldn't even use it, had too many spiders in it. road isn't well kept luckily we had 4 wheel drive or else couldn't of made it through.

Site 5
We tent camped at site #5, and managed to get a last minute reservation for Labor Day weekend. The campsite is perfect- a decent distance away from the other sites, clean, with a great fire ring and picnic table. Porta potty wasn’t too bad overall- smelly, but that’s to be expected. They provided higher quality toilet paper than I’ve ever had at a porta potty- which was so nice. And hand sanitizer as well!
The site is a close walk to a calm stretch of the Sol Duc River. It was really a great spot.
Would highly recommend 4wd to get to the site- it’s a tight drive that’s more of a jeep trail at times. If the roads were much wetter getting stuck is a real possibility. Overall though this was a perfect camping spot!

I love that the sites are spaced farther apart and effectively private and the host is very responsive online. Having said that, the combination of mud and close-in growing trees makes navigation of the site a problem. While I did manage to get a small travel trailer and my truck in, it was a muddy mess (the site 4 was private but quite muddy, too) by the time we left. It's just a very narrow corridor to get to the site we were at and even the modest traffic that was there (1 other camper and us), the road was tore up and muddy. The mud and very close trees limits navigating a trailer (even a wider truck might be an issue) where you want to and probably limits most people who don't have decent AWD/4WD. It's an awesome place that's close by the Sol Duc but needs logging and mud removal/new gravel. Has a lot of potential but needs some investment before it's worth the price that's being asked.

Super easy to find. Clean and quiet. We were able to get our full sized pickup back to Site 6. It’s a tight fit in the road to get in there, but we did it! The river is beautiful and rejuvenating. We saw fish, otters and more slugs than I can count.

Pretty cool place. Definitely plan to get there early enough in the day to enjoy the river. Primitive road/trails into sites, so bring the appropriate vehicle for the terrain.

Really nice place! I love it. Very reserved, spacious and there is a nice river close to the camp. Don’t expect to use the toilets, too dirty.

Great spot! I stayed on a Wednesday night and had the whole place to myself. The site was large and very private. Justin's land is perfect if you want the true camping experience- kids running through the woods, private, great river spot, and beautiful rainforest. The property is gorgeous. This is probably not the spot for you if you like "glamping" (the port-a-pottys were meh) and the road in felt like a service road heading to a fun trail. I personally loved the property and wish I had the day to spend at the river. It was an easy walk to locate the river with plenty of room at the water. Lovely!
There was a previous post about the road in and finding the site- I was in a Subaru crosstrek and it was totally fine. No issues. The extra clearance helped but wasn't necessary. Most vehicles will be fine. This road would not work if you had a giant wide truck or RV. I arrived at dusk and got out of my car to check one of the many maps posted on the trees to help me locate my spot. Those maps were very helpful and I had no problem once I looked at it.

The location of this Hipcamp is good. We came from Lake Crescent and in the morning continued on to Ruby Beach. There isn't a lot around there so having a place to stay in this location was very nice. However, our site didn't seem to have a designated parking spot or a picnic table and our email said site 1 in the body of the email and site 2 in the title of the email. When we went to site 1 someone was already there. The portapotty was not good and my kids really struggled to go #2 in it. The river was nice though. Kids really enjoyed playing there.

Great spot near a lovely river. So while there's no running water, we were definitely able to purify our own. Peaceful and secluded.

The campsite itself was fine. It was very private and had plenty of space, a picnic table, and fire ring. There was even fire wood. However the road to the sites was muddy and a bit narrow for my Chevy Express. Even with AWD, it slid a bit in the mud. A taller camper or 2WD may have some difficulty getting through.
The roads were slippery and I fell down while walking to the port-a-potty. The port-a-potty itself could use some maintenance. There were used wipes on the toilet lid, it smelled terrible (even for a portable) and the toilet was nearly full to the top. My mom wouldn’t use it. We left early and found another site.

Site 7
Site 7 was secluded and large. A little bit of a walk in but a wagon was helpful to shuttle gear to and from. The space was awesome, river access was easy. Hardly noticed the neighbors. Would definitely recommend to our friends but our friends are more hardy than some. We have a 3 year old and he loved running wild without disturbing neighbors.
My one complaint, like others had pointed out, is that the port o potties were nasty. I was happy to have a 4x4 truck but I think a soccer mom suv would do just fine.
Overall great experience!

Fairly private site, only can see one other parking area for a site. Nice woods. River was beautiful and we were the only ones there. It was good for bringing my dog, sites were labelled clearly. Fire ban in effect so no campfire but they had a picnic table which was nice. Felt safe and cozy.

I reached here on Saturday at around 9:30pm. It was dark when I got here. I was confused a bit, but there were big signs on the trees to indicate the campsite number and the direction towards the river. That helped me find Site 4. I backed up my car and I was also car camping. I did not use the fire pit. Great space to pitch a tent as well.
There were bugs. I quickly put bug covers for my car windows and slept off with my windows open. I was solo camping with my dog. The place felt safe.
In the morning I explored the river area, my dog loved running around, and then we headed out to Hoh Rainforest.

Site 5
We stayed two nights and the site served us well. The surrounding rain forest is quite impressive and the river is a decently close. It is private enough for a quick wash in the river. The road to the sites is narrow and very bumpy so I would definitely recommend leaving low clearance cars at the entrance. The portable toilets do need service though, as it getting close to full and there was no paper on the first night.

The signs were clear, making it easy to find my camping spot. The river access was really nice and easy to get to. Would definitely book again.

Great site, beautiful views at night, the only thing was that we had a bit of hard time finding the site since we didn’t see any signs. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to anyone considering it! We got campsite #7 and it was very nice as it was a little bit more removed from the others. It was a large site with beautiful moss-covered trees and was about a 5 minute walk away from the river.

Tent campers will be smart to stay here. Yes, you need a somewhat able vehicle to navigate the road through the campground. But the reward is real. For campers who can bring their own water—and for those who respect commonsense rules and can pack out according to Leave No Trace principles—this place is a true gem. The sites are nice and spread apart, and it seems Justin is always improving things.
If it helps, this was our favorite Hipcamp ever (out of 5 or so), and it was out best trip to the Olympic Peninsula.
If you’re a fussy camper or can’t deal w portapots, or you can’t leave no trace, or don’t have a slightly adventurous spirit, maybe look elsewhere. But for those who are Good Campers and appreciated a rustic but awesome place to camp, you can’t do better.

Great, quiet spot! Really enjoyed walking to the river that is around the bend from the site! So close to beaches and all that Forks and the Olympic Peninsula has to offer.

Nice and private. Beautiful land. The port-a-potty situation was a bit rough. It was very quiet too. We would love to come back sometime!

Wouldn’t recommend arriving here after dark. Ridiculous lack of signage and rutted muddy road. Tried finding my site in the dusk, and all I could find was a site that required me to thread two trees that were about 6’ apart. If it was a straight shot in, I probably could’ve done it, but …. I got frustrated, gave up, and parked for the night in a clearing on the property. No one hassled me about this, which is a good thing (for them 😡). Not at all worth 50.

My husband and I loved staying at Justin's camp! We are the type that dont need fancy amenities and so this fit the bill for us, classic woods campsite.
We scheduled and arrived to find out we ended up having the entire place to ourselves! None of the less, the campsites seemed very nicely spaced apart and the river path was well maintained. We enjoyed a lot of time down at the river.
Signage was clear and maps posted along the road throughout the campsite was nice. Bathrooms had been emptied in case you're reading previous reviews.
Campsite 7 was large! Way bigger than most places we've stayed! Looking around, it had three places cleared so we could pitch our tent. We chose the back area and had plenty of space to spread out, and trees to put up our hammock. The fire pit was great (bring your own wood or buy in town) and the birds were so lively and chirping all day.
When thinking about future improvements: The road being deeper mud in some places and maybe find ways to maintain those couple of deep spots between campgrounds 3-5.
It rained while we were there (which we normally love when camping) but it made the path difficult to drive through. My husband is experienced with off road, but it was quite muddy after the rain and so we used a shovel to fill in the deep mud as we went in and out.
I suggest staying in campsites 1-3 if youre not comfortable with some off roading conditions or have a front wheel drive/lower car.
We for sure plan on coming back!

Fantastic and beautiful site with massive ancient trees! We camped at Site 1, which seemed larger than the 2 tent limit on the description. Other than we and another camper accidentally setting off our car alarms, we couldn’t hear any of the other campers on the other sites. Site 1 is set back on its own long private road, we felt completely secluded and enjoyed the shade of the trees. There’s a 6ft picnic table and trees with hammock potential. We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with a hitch carrier and there was room to turn around to drive off, however it was a bit snug. A couple of stumps are in the drive path, they could possibly be cut a little shorter for walking safety. There is a convenient port-a-potty at the entrance of the site, but could use some deodorizer. This site is the furthest from the river, but the path is easy and peaceful. The river is mostly shallow, great for water play for little kids. We carried water to our site from the river to wash dishes with. I would advise bringing a wagon because it was quite heavy! The location was easy to find via GPS, but be sure to have the map downloaded as the signal is very weak or non-existent. You can drive into Forks, approx 2-3 mi away and cell signal is available, but doesn’t work outside of town. There is a public park we took our trash to as there is no receptacle on the camp property. It’s about a 20-25 min drive to La Push and Rialto Beaches. Justin was super quick in responding and answered all our questions.

Beautiful site. Very private feel. We didn’t even know there were other campers there until we took the short walk down to the open river. We felt like we were getting the real wilderness camping experience with how dense and private the forest was despite only being 5 minutes away from town. Highly recommend staying here. Campsites are very large and host is amazing. He responds within minutes and is ready to help. My small car had some trouble getting through the road the second time in and Justin came with his father to quickly get the car out of the mud effortlessly. He then showed us the path that we should use and the very next day they cleared that path entirely for future campers.

Didn't actually stay as we didn't have 4WD but Justin was super kind and helpful. Note that per host 4WD is needed for these sites.

It was an okay place to stay but it was pretty unkept and not well marked. I wouldn’t even risk to potty situation because it looked so bad! You definitely should have 4 wheel drive here as the road was pretty bad. The host did respond after contact but his directions were average and didn’t guide you to the spot. I wouldn’t stay again.

We had a great time camping here and had the whole place to ourselves! We felt safe & the portajohn was as clean as you would expect in the woods with a few spider webs but stocked with tp & hand sanitizer. Plenty of wood stocked at the sites but it was wet & needed splitting so we bought some from a local (we were short on time & supplies or would’ve split ourselves) Contacted the host & he responded within an hour. The river was nice too! We backed our Suburban into site 4 after reading reviews & had no problems getting out, but after a rain (which it rains daily = rainforest), the drive to the campsites was very muddy & may require 4x4. We had it so I’m not sure how a car would handle it. Site 4 was the smallest most muddy site, which we didn’t know but the other sites showed they were rented. No one else ever showed up so that bummed us out that we couldn’t have chosen a better site but all in all it was fine & felt like we were in the middle of the rainforest alone the whole time. You could hear the occasional dog bark or tractor working nearby. But it didn’t ruin our experience. If I’m back on the west coast again, I would stay again! Thank you Justin for your accommodations & responses! Very nice owner!
