Campbell Tree Grove Campground offers facilities for equestrians approximately one hour from Amanda Park on unpaved forest roads. The campground features a large horse stall area designed for group camping with horse trailers. Tent and RV camping spaces are available in this secluded setting alongside the Humptulips River. The road access requires careful driving, with visitors reporting rough conditions and occasional downed trees across the route. Despite being listed with 21 campsites in some sources, the actual count is closer to 11 free designated camping areas. Basic amenities include vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. The campground remains deep in old-growth forest with substantial vegetation between sites providing privacy.
The surrounding area connects to numerous hiking and horse trails through Olympic National Forest terrain. Bear activity has been documented near the campground, with visitors reporting sightings of bear scat along access roads. Littleton Horse Camp, located near Port Angeles, serves as another equestrian option in the broader Olympic Peninsula region. This Forest Service campground maintains dedicated sites for horse camping with corrals. While primarily designed for equestrians, sites occasionally become available for non-horse campers after 6pm. The lower campsite #2 at Littleton does not have horse requirements. Both campgrounds provide access to multiple trail systems through densely forested terrain with stream crossings and scenic overlooks. Vault toilets are available but water sources are limited, requiring visitors to bring their own water supplies or filter from nearby creeks.
"About an hour on unpaved road until you get to the actual camp but the drive is gorgeous! Old growth and new baby trees line the roads and there’s about 10+ little streams along the way."
"It is tucked away on the western side of the Olympic Mountains, but easy to drive to. Old fashioned forest service-type campground, with lots of vegetation between camp sites for privacy. "
"Our site is one away from from the toilet/ bath house there are 6 combo rooms. There are 3 cabins, 12 full service sites, tent sites some w/ electric. Laundry 1 washer and dryer."
"Check-in was super easy, the campground was clean and there’s a nice path that takes you right down to the river."
"Every camp site is well maintained, the bathrooms are very clean and you have beautiful views all around you."
"Like a number of Washington State Parks, the plug-in sites are in a large field, with very few trees around and kind of look like a lot of other standard RV parks with three or so levels of close parking"
from $45 / night
Check Availability"We took the trail past Enchanted Valley and up to Marmot Lake, up to Lake Lacrosse, hopped over Ranger Pass (extremely difficult), and back down into the valley."
"Located 15 miles from Graves Creek Campground on a backcountry trail, this is a campsite that any true backpacker must experience."
"Showers and clean bath rooms available plus a small store for your wood and forgotten marshmallow needs... close to the beach and equestrian friendly... this is where we always stay!"
"Just a five minute walk from the beach."

Check Availability"Close to town and nearby sites. The owner, Veronica lives in the house on site. Veronica is very friendly and an awesome host. Would definitely stay there again."
"I didn’t see any bathrooms or water, but there’s a Sinclair about a 3 minute drive away with a bathroom."
from $25 / night
Check Availability"There are hiking trails close by but be sure to do your homework because there are many trails that allow ATV, horses, bikes, and people on them."
"Theres also 2 trails in walking distance aswell. Most sites also have a table, and metal fab firepit. Theres also a few out houses for restrooms."
"Located on the east side of the Olympic Peninsula, Collins campground is a bit off the beaten path, which was what I was looking for during peak season in August."
"Disclaimer: the road from highway 101 to the campground has SO MANY potholes. Big ones that we had to navigate in our RV but nothing that made it too hard to access the campground."
"Clean sites, vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, trash service, lots of firewood for sale from the nearby farms (you‘ll need it because everything else is driftwood)."
"It was nice and clean, quiet, and right next to a pretty stream. Beware though, i think the derections might be slightly wrong... the campground is on the east bank of the creek."
ScoutFree hot showers, large structures, private spots between epic trees, and overlooking a sweet lil surf spot along the strait! what else can you ask for for a cold water season campground in WA.
TravelerI went here with my fiance in September. Went on a Friday and there was only 1 other group. Theres about 16 sites from what I saw. Its free as well but first come first served. Getting to it is pretty easy and straight forward aswell, heads up the road turns to gravel and it can get narrow. Most of the sites are along the creek which was very beautiful. Theres also 2 trails in walking distance aswell. Most sites also have a table, and metal fab firepit. Theres also a few out houses for restrooms.
ScoutGreat little RV park! Check-in was super easy, the campground was clean and there’s a nice path that takes you right down to the river. There were only two other campers while we were there, so it was incredibly quiet and peaceful.
The location is great and really easy to find, especially when you’re traveling in a bigger camper. They have showers, laundry and full hookups, which was exactly what we needed.
Simple, clean, quiet and convenient. We would definitely stay here again!
GuideWe are locals, so it costs less than non-resident campers, but if you are looking for a camping trip where you can hike, tidepool, relax and enjoy amazing views....go to Salt Creek. It's a one of a kind, beautiful park. Cons: No Alcohol Allowed in the park and be aware of raccoons. It doesn't matter how well you hide your food or storage containers, they will try and get in.
TravelerOwners were VERY welcoming. Charged $25 a night, which felt like a lot, but that’s nothing compared to the Forks motel prices. People were generally quiet besides some barking dogs here and there. Benches and places for fires. It does look like it’s on someone’s property because it is, but it’s about the same camp experience I’ve had anywhere. There are signs directing you where to go. Camp host said I could park basically anywhere on the property—I think there are designated spots but if the camp is too full you can park in a large grassy area. I went on a Monday, so it was only moderately busy. I didn’t see any bathrooms or water, but there’s a Sinclair about a 3 minute drive away with a bathroom. If you want a spot you can safely camp in your car (or without a car) where you won’t be worried you’ll wake up to a cop asking you to move, this is it.
TravelerThey have a portable shower and bathrooms, but it’s mostly long time residents. Hosts are incredibly nice and helpful. Electric hookups available.
TravelerFantastic area
TravelerOne of the best places on Dyrt I’ve ever used. Clean, quiet, nice sites. 1 to 2 bars Verizon signal. I’d use again.
TravelerThe views are great. The sites are very tight, not much room. The cost is $55.00 unless you are a resident.

Hiking to waterfalls: Collins Campground offers trails to scenic falls within walking distance. "There is a hike with a trailhead 2 miles from the campsite. We walked there and it was a milder way walk uphill to the trail head and then the .8 mile hike heads to a pretty waterfall which you can walk behind," reports Asia M.
Beach exploration: At Salt Creek Recreation Area, tide pools and beach access create opportunities for marine wildlife viewing. "The views are great. The sites are very tight, not much room," notes Lee L., who still rated the experience highly despite the compact camping area.
River wading: The Duckabash River at Collins Campground provides cool water activities. "The Duckabash river runs along most of the sites. There is a good amount of space between most campsites," explains Heartworn H., adding that they "hiked up river and found a lovely swimming hole, frigid, but beautiful."
Forest seclusion: Porter Creek Campground provides woodland camping with river access. "Porter Creek Campground is primitive camping with over 12 sites available. Located in Capital Forest and upkept by DNR. The river is gorgeous and fun to explore!" writes Jessica A.
Olympic Peninsula gateway: Lyre River State Forest campground serves as an affordable base for exploring the broader region. "It's beautiful here! Clean sites, vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, trash service... Pretty easy to get to Port Angeles (Safeway, Walmart), and right between several sections of Olympic NP," explains Emily U.
River-adjacent sites: Many campers appreciate the waterfront options at Collins. "We got an awesome river spot with our brand new set up. It rained but was a beautiful and oh so green area to camp," reports Kathleen J., who previously noted the "sound of the river right there" as a highlight.
Weather preparation: Rain occurs frequently in the Olympic Peninsula forests. "When the downpour started, we drove back to the Lake Crescent lodge, ate lunch on their covered patio and did the Marymere waterfalls hike," shares Stephanie Z. about her stay at Littleton Horse Camp.
Water access limitations: Many forest campgrounds lack running water. At Littleton Horse Camp, "There is no running water - or any water source, so you have to pack everything in. You're also only 4 miles from the Fairholm camp store if you have to stock up on anything."
Road conditions: Forest roads deteriorate seasonally. For Porter Creek, "DNR would do well to post closure information so that apps like The Dyrt can more easily pick it up," notes Phoebe B., who arrived to find the campground closed early in the season.
Equestrian camping opportunities: Screamin' Eagle Campground provides family-friendly sites with horse access. "We have gone and stayed in many of their sites. Very roomy sites and Richard the care taker is an amazing camp host! He has always made our stay wonderful," reports Erica G., who added it's "close to the beach and equestrian friendly."
Child-friendly amenities: Some campgrounds include play areas. At Salt Creek Recreation Area, one visitor "enjoyed the playground, tide pools and private site number 51. Always a great spot."
Wildlife awareness: Teach children about local wildlife safety. Near Porter Creek, "Several people came by to let us know there were raccoons raiding campsites," reports E V., highlighting the need for secure food storage.
Site selection: At Big Spruce Resort RV and Cabins, site location matters for bathroom access. "Our site is one away from from the toilet/bath house there are 6 combo rooms. There are 3 cabins, 12 full service sites, tent sites some w/ electric," notes Harold C.
Electrical reliability: Check power capacity when booking sites. At Screamin' Eagle, one camper noted: "Our circuit breaker kept tripping during peak times and interrupted our ability to run the coffee pot."
Leveling preparation: Forest campgrounds often have uneven parking. Rick M. appreciated at Screamin' Eagle the "level gravel parking sites" which made setup easier for their rig.
