Falls Creek Campground

Some sort of tree fell so there is tribal involvement I guess? Gatten Creek open but tiny. The campground west of this one was also closed. We ended up paying a ton of money for Rain Forest campground :| Call the lodge or something to find out if it's open yet before you go.

Camped here with friends mid-June, beautiful river and forest. Sites right on the riverside. Water was high enough to do some laps on a whitewater kayak. Short, accessible path to waterfall. New, clean bathrooms. Water pump not on. Some mosquitos early/late day.

We spent a night there during a bike camping trip around the Olympic Peninsula. We had not made a reservation hoping to get a walk-in site but all of them were occupied. We lucked out and got a tent site for a no-show reservation with the help of the camp host. The site was small but quite nice, just by a stream and close to the lake. I would go back but make sure we have a reservation.

Cute little Campground, with immediate lakeside access. Beautiful area to explore. There was a camp host present but not sure what she actually did, my neighbors had a tent set up in my site when I arrived at 4pm, they had to remove sleeping children from it, so it had been set up for a while. Then there was a group of women playing music until 4am.

This is a really nice little campground on the really nice Quinalt Lake.  Sites are not large, and are fairly close to the road (although it isn't really that busy)....but those minuses are offset by the location.  The lake is just fabulous and offers great swimming and paddling.  We were there at the end of March and all reservable sites were gone...there are a limited number of walk-in sites but those fill quickly.    There are a small handful of other campgrounds within a short drive and I'd rate this the best.

This campsite is fairly similar to Willaby just further up the lake and closer to Quinault Lodge and the mercantile across the street. Great place to spend the weekend out on the south shore of Lake Quinault and has all the amenities (other than showers) that you could ever ask for while camping.

Saw a few water spouts and at least one vault toilet. It's a bit smaller than Willaby but it seems to have a few walk-in sites that were across a small bridge. You can also literally walk down to the Lake Quinault Lodge and mercantile if you forget anything which is always a plus!

Standard Forest Service fee of $25 a night and you can take your pick of spots that are close to the Lake or further back in the shade of the rainforest. There are a few trails that are within walking distance and plenty that are a drive further up the river valley including Graves Creek and North Fork Quinault. Definitely a great place to spend a few days!

Beautiful spots, some right on the lake. The campgrounds were clean, they had a clean bathroom, and bear safe garbage cans. The first spot we camped in (#8) was a short walk from the parking spot but felt more secluded. The second spot (#31) was a longer walk but totally worth it for the close walk to the lake.

This is a beautiful campground. You do need to make reservations in the summer months because it fills up. There are small waterfalls and a creek running through the campground. You are walking distance from Lake Quinault. So you have access to get on the water and paddle away if you like. Bathrooms are clean. You are in walking distance to a small store as well.

Beautifully located!! Right next to a creek in the middle of the woods, but yet just a short walk away from the edge of the lake. Mountains in the distance make this an ideal location. Facilites are adequate, kept relatively clean and will do the trick when you need to take a quick shower. There are trees and bushes between campsites that feels very natural, and minimizes the feeling of how close the sites are to each other.

Falls Creek was a beautiful site. It was close to the lake and the forest was extremely lush. Although it was close to the road it was quiet. Our site was a pretty good size, we managed to fit in 3 small tents and our bikes etc.

It was very beautiful being able to stay in a rainforest like this. There were also some hiking trails directly out of the campsite. Although we didn't go on any of them it was nice knowing that there was some there

In terms of amenities, it was relatively basic but it had everything that you needed. Not far was the Lodge for coffee/beer and Wifi plus some general stores to stock up on some basic food as well

Quick one night by the lake. Beautiful area. Enough sun to hike in the morning. Great bathrooms and huge private spots.

Tons of hiking trails, beach, great picnic areas and camping! Multiple waterfalls!

With Lake Quinault nearby and the rainforest literally across the road, you would have a hard time being depressed in this tiny campground. I however didn't care for the actual campground itself. It was tight. Very tight. I prefer a little more room but this just didn't cut it. The grounds itself fill up extremely fast so you may need reservations and not leave it to chance. The area that this is in however is absolutely amazing and one of the most unique areas in America!

The Quinault Lake campground in Olympic National Forest is one of those rare quiet and scenic car-camping sites where you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the place without having to backpack or drive up rugged remote roads. We camped in early October and there were many beautiful sites to choose from. And I mean beautiful. We chose a site right on the lake with a tent platform under a Western red cedar and a separate section with a full table. There was a bathroom just a short 2 minute walk away. It rained - as it tends to do in the Olympics - all night but with the shade of the cedar and our waterproof tent we remained dry. The campground is just down the road from the Lake Quinault Lodge - a beautiful, rustic resort where we showered in the morning, sat by a roaring fire, and got a delicious (and decently priced) breakfast.

Really love this camp ground! We're going back with the kids this month and planning on doing an annual camp trip here every year! Clean beautiful water, quiet camp sites, inexpensive, and lots to do locally, hiking, waterfalls, swimming, beaches etc.
