Forest Service Road 29 Dispersed Camping Loop

6 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Hikers and anglers exploring the Sol Duc corridor have free dispersed camping along Forest Service Road 29, set within Olympic National Forest amid dense, mossy fir forest. The area consists of several gravel spur roads with large open spots, making it accessible to big rigs, vans, and passenger vehicles alike. Reviewers note that level spots are relatively easy to find, and the gravel surfaces support good satellite and solar access for those running Starlink or rooftop panels.

Crowd levels here tend to stay low. On a Saturday evening in peak summer, one visitor counted only a few other campers in the loop. Noise is generally minimal, though at least one reviewer reported fellow campers running a chainsaw late at night, so lighter sleepers may want to scout the site before committing. For larger vehicles that find the main loop full, a wide gravel area sits roughly 100 yards past the loop across the street, with coordinates at 48.0512793, -124.1110441, offering additional room without the tree cover of the loop itself.

Verizon users report four bars of LTE. Campfires and pets are permitted, and there is no fee. Klahowya Campground sits just over a mile north and provides a managed alternative when dispersed spots are occupied. Campers who want to compare camping spots near Beaver or explore the broader corridor will find several dispersed options clustered along this stretch of highway. This site works best for self-sufficient campers comfortable with dispersed conditions who want free overnight access near Olympic National Forest without a reservation.

Many campers appreciated the quiet, secluded setting with easy-to-find level spots suitable for RVs of all sizes. Some noted occasional late-night noise from other campers, but most found it peaceful with good spacing.

Easy Access

Last minute found this place it was nice. Fellow campers were up late and at 10:00 PM using a chainsaw :((.

Good for buses and coaches

We just spent the last three nights across the street from this location. There are a few spots for large RVs at this loop, but if it's full, you can go about 100 yards past this loop and across the street to this location (48.0512793, -124.1110441) and there's a lot of room in a large gravel area that is perfect for buses and coaches. We were about to settle for a muddy spot in this loop but luckily we scouted ahead with the toad and found the area across the street. Not as wooded and pretty as the loop area but plenty of level space still available.

Last minute spot with great cell service

All of the other campgrounds near Olympic NP were full, so we checked this spot out that we found on Campendium. Just a simple loop that you can park along, no privacy from neighbors but very quiet. There were 3 big rigs and then us in the Outback. Also lots of roadside pull offs that you could park at too!
