Big Log — Olympic National Park

Olympic National Park includes Big Log, a backcountry campground accessible via a five-mile hike with steady elevation gain. The trail drops about 100 feet from the main path to reach the camping area, which sits alongside a river winding through the mountains. Sites are spacious but limited in number.

The campground provides a pit toilet and direct river access. Recent trail improvements include a new bridge, eliminating the need to ford waterways. Campers exploring the region can find additional options at nearby Camp Pleasant — Olympic National Park, located just over a mile northeast for those seeking different access conditions.

Easier hike into a wooded campground next to a river

This is a pretty easy 5ish mile hike into a wonderful back country campground next to a river. The elevation was a steady increase so you aren't necessarily pushing yourself to climb a big mountain. The downside is you do have to drop about 100 feet to get to the camp sites off of the main trail. There is a privy in the campground but... The good news is you are right next to an amazing river that is winding through the mountains as you relax. The sites aren't plentiful but they are spacious. The trail when we went was clear and even featured a new to use bridge built recently! You no longer have to ford any rivers to continue on the trail! Yay!
