Within Olympic National Park, Anderson Pass provides backcountry camping managed by the National Park Service. This established campground sits at high elevation along the Anderson Pass trail system, requiring hikers to trek several miles from the nearest trailhead access point.
The site serves as a waypoint for backpackers traversing the Olympic Mountains interior. Campers must obtain backcountry permits in advance and pack all gear and supplies for the multi-day approach. Those seeking additional options can explore campgrounds around Olympic National Park. Reserve permits early during peak summer months when trail conditions allow access.
