Fir trees close in around the sites at Elwha Dam RV Park, a privately run campground along the Elwha River corridor just west of places to camp near Port Angeles. The park sits on a hillside, which means some sites are uneven and the layout has a layered, slightly funky quality that reviewers tend to either appreciate or work around. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer are available, and the range of site types spans from wooded pull-ins for RVs to tent spots of varying quality.
The staff is a recurring subject in reviews, and not by accident. The family running the park fields after-hours maintenance calls, stays available late into the evening for arriving guests, and keeps a community garden where campers can pick fresh vegetables and herbs at no charge. Free coffee in the morning, a shared kitchen stocked with basics, coin-operated showers with strong pressure, and laundry facilities round out the amenity set. "Everything is clean and well taken care of," notes Bhakta R., a sentiment that shows up across multiple reviews.
Tent campers should go in with realistic expectations. Sites are close together, some are small, and a few reviewers note that fire rings feel cramped. Highway noise carries from the road nearby, though traffic drops off at night. RV campers with full hookup needs tend to fare better here, and the wooded sites with electric and water, such as T9 and T13, have received specific praise for feeling more private than the standard hookup rows.
Trails on the property lead to views of the Elwha River, and the location works well as a base for Olympic National Park day trips or a staging point before catching the ferry to Vancouver Island from Port Angeles. Camp Mount Olympus LLC is a short distance away for campers who want to compare options before booking.
Description
The Elwha RV Park sits inside a mature evergreen forest alongside the Olympic National Forest and the Elwha River gorge; former home of the Lower Elwha Dam.
We are in the ideal location to explore the 5 main entrances into Olympic National Park, Port Angeles, & the Juan de Fuca Straits.
Just far enough from town to surround yourself with nature, but close enough to conveniently access restaurants, shops, & cultural events.
Our guests love our quiet wooded ambiance, community garden, friendly service, & drama-free vibe.
If you are into biking, rock-hounding, hiking, catching sunsets, bird-watching, hydroponics & gardens, or simply soaking in nature's best, this is the place for you.
We love sharing a space & environment which empowers you to escape, reset, & rejuvenate.
Make the Elwha your "home away from home" for your next adventure!
