Dawley's Solduc River Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Dawley's Solduc River Campground sits along the Sol Duc River corridor outside Beaver, Washington, in a section of dense Pacific Northwest forest on the Olympic Peninsula. The property is privately managed and has been developing its sites over recent years, with a mix of tent-specific spots and areas that can accommodate travel trailers. Drive-in access is the primary approach, though walk-in and hike-in options exist depending on which site a camper selects.

The forested setting is a consistent draw. Trees crowd the sites closely, providing heavy canopy cover, and a river spot is a short drive or walk from camp. A fish hatchery sits within easy walking distance, making this a reasonable base for anglers working the Sol Duc. Sites vary enough in layout that campers with specific needs, including those traveling with reactive dogs, can often find a configuration that works. The on-site management gets repeated mention in reviews for being attentive and keeping the grounds clean.

Rates run $35 per night. Cell service is listed as available, and the campground allows campfires, pets, and alcohol. Firewood is available on-site. Reservations are an option, which makes sense given that sites can fill even mid-week during summer. NikNak L. notes "lots of trees and a short drive/walk to a river spot," which sums up the layout well. Campers who want a different setup nearby can look at The Cabins At Beaver Creek, about a mile to the northeast, or check camp sites near Beaver for additional options in the area.

Great spot, lovely hosts!

This campground was so nice with several different options to pick from. Rachel was amazing at helping me find the perfect one for me and a reactive dog. Lots of trees and a short drive/walk to a river spot

Beautiful campground!

Cannot say enough good things about this campground. My husband and I ended up staying here after our camper van started stalling and we needed a place to stay immediately. The camp had lots of space, a beautiful view, and the owners were so friendly. I’m so glad I found this site and I will definitely stay here again the next time we visit the area.

New campsite with great hosts!

Found this gem in the forest that recently opened with gorgeous tent campsites. I arrived with a travel trailer and was taken to an area that was still a work in progress, but offered dry camping in a private clearing amongst an incredibly dense forest. We were the only campers there, mid-week, and the privacy was priceless. There is a fish hatchery a short walk away and the river is really beautiful. This is the best kept secret in the area.
