Forest Road 2918 Dispersed Site
Forest Road 2918 Dispersed Site, near Olympic National Forest, Washington, is a fantastic spot for those looking to immerse themselves in nature without the frills of a developed campground. This area is perfect for tent camping and smaller RVs, offering a rugged charm that many campers appreciate.
The site boasts a variety of spaces, with some nestled near a river, making it ideal for evening campfires and relaxation. Visitors have mentioned that the reception is decent if you stick close to the asphalt road, which is a nice perk for those needing to stay connected. As one camper noted, “Spot is great... tent camping would be easy.”
