"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."
"Nice clean camping area with easy access to multiple trails and logging roads. Trails are open to hiking horseback riding and motorcycles. Camp ground has multiple horse stalls in a common area."
"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."
"Easy access to ORV trails. Expect lots of noise from off-road vehicles and music."
"Just go for a walk out the spit to get a unique perspective of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This is a USFWS refuge and campground,so if your into seabirds, this is the place to go."
"Campground was located a short walk away from bluffs overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca and British Columbia. Beautiful sunset views!"

TravelerNice clean camping area with easy access to multiple trails and logging roads. Trails are open to hiking horseback riding and motorcycles. Camp ground has multiple horse stalls in a common area. Only open on weekends.
GuideVery secluded, deep wood camping. 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. The bugs weren’t too bad with citronella bracelets and candles but bring bug spray if you like. There’s river access and lots of trails to explore. There’s even horse trails and a huge horse stall area for a group site/horse trailer.
We drove past 3 piles of bear scat along the dirt road into the campground, which was fine. Our dog growled into the woods a couple of times while on some nature walk which was a little worrisome but with the right tools, actions and preventative things we were fine.
TravelerSalt Creek Campground is beautiful! Every camp site is well maintained, the bathrooms are very clean and you have beautiful views all around you. Near the entrance there is a park, horse shoe pits, basketball court and a huge grass field. Make sure to check out the trails, bunkers and tide pools!
RangerIt’s right in the floodplain, so it is only enjoyable when it is not rainy season. This campground is south of Duvall, which is an affluent town with shops and things to do. The campground is next to a classy laundromat, and I say classy because it’s probably one of the nicest laundromats in the area that even has a dumpsite for RVs. There’s not a lot of privacy for the campsites. Good location for parking and exploring the east side of Lake Washington cities or access to mountains and hiking on I90.
GuideDungeness Recreation Area is known as the portal to the Dungeness Spit, but there is a lot more to discover before you arrive at the National Wildlife Refuge. Picnic on the bluff, watch the shipping lanes and catch a glimpse of Mt. Baker. Providing the starting point of a great adventure, the 216-acre Park offers many amenities. The virtues include a 1-mile long scenic bluff trail with picnic sites, a pocket picnic area, a group picnic area with shelter, and equestrian trails.
There is a 5.5-mile natural sand spit which is the longest in the country, and serves as a peaceful place to go for a walk along the beach. The narrow strip of land juts out from the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula and encloses the beautiful Dungeness Bay.
The Dungeness County Campgrund is clean and the camping spots are private. There are 66 campsites. No utilities at campsites. The campground is located on a bluff above the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is open all year long. There was a picnic table and fire pit available at each site. Clean bathrooms and pay showers. There is firewood available to purchase from the campground host. (cash only).
LegendWe love this campground so much, I almost hesitate to write this review. 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 with lovely views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca between the US and Canada.
While the view is lovely, this is not where this park shines. Go further, into the primitive camping loops, there you’ll find paradise. The sites are small, and situated under a diverse coastal Washington beach forest. A few of the sites have some good solar opportunities, while others are completely under canopy. Most could only accommodate smaller rigs, but a few could get a mid-sized Class B, vans and smaller trailers aren’t a problem.
Aside from reminding us of the kind of campsites we went to as kids, this place just feels like a great place to hang out and let the kids run feral. This park offers one of the most stunning tide pool experiences that these two naturalists have ever seen without getting in a boat. It’s so richly filled with creatures in the intertidal zone, that it has to be seen in order to be believed. Just a short walk from the campground, go armed with good footwear and the curiosity of a child. Trust us, just put it on the list.
There’s lots of hiking within the park as well, from the short coastal path, to exploring the WWII ruins, and down to the sandy beach below the bluff on which the campground sits. Nearby Olympic National Park offers many recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast, the hiking is particularly stunning there.
Port Angeles is less than 20 minutes away where you can get resupplied, or treat yourself to dinner, or get more information about the National Park. The nearby communities have gas stations, general stores and convenience stores but only a few Mom and Pop diners/ cafes along state route 112.
ScoutNice open sites with space for multiple vehicles or trailers. Easy access to ORV trails. Expect lots of noise from off-road vehicles and music.
GuideWhat a beautiful place! The campground is in 500+ acre Tolt-McDonald Park, far enough away from any busy road so that there is no traffic noise, just the sound of the Tolt River rapids. All the RV sites are drive-through, with water and 20, 30, and 50-Amp service. (There is a privately-run RV dump on the way to the park.) The sites are wide because of the driveway. No trees between sites, but some bushes between sites offer some privacy for the back half of the sites. The 17 RV sites are around a huge lawn, with the restroom building at one end, and a path down the middle that is part of a long, level, paved bike/walking trail. There is a shower in each restroom, so the whole building is heated (which was really nice, since the lows were in the 30s in April, 2022) Access to both rivers is at the South end of the RV loop. There are tent-only sites to the North, and also yurts and more tent sites across a picturesque foot bridge over the Snoqualmie River. There are carts available to roll your stuff over the footbridge.
GuideLangley is a great little town. I don’t know why they haven’t done more to develop the campground- all sites are first-come-first served. They did repair the electrical system this year and just reopened. It’s at the fairgrounds on the edge of town, there’s a largely unlandscaped grass field with electrical boxes & (some) water connections. There is a dump out on site and potable water. There are accessible bathrooms and showers nearby. The campground is on a hill above the horse barn and arena, very convenient to the town of Langley, which is delightful. No camp host available, nobody you can call for assistance. Because the campground just reopened, we were the only ones camped most of the 6 days we were here. I love Langley but they are not as tourist-driven as many towns which have campgrounds like this.
Equestrian camping opportunities near Brinnon, Washington offer access to the Olympic Peninsula's diverse trails and forested terrain. Located on the eastern edge of the Olympic Mountains, this area receives less rainfall than other parts of the peninsula, making it suitable for year-round trail riding. The combination of mountain paths and coastal trails creates a varied environment for riders seeking multi-day adventures.
Horseback trail riding: Access multiple logging roads and established trails from Green Mountain, where riding paths connect through forested terrain. "Trails are open to hiking, horseback riding and motorcycles," notes Ivy K. The campground serves as a practical starting point for day rides.
Explore tidepools: The shoreline near Salt Creek Recreation Area offers rocky beaches with diverse marine life. "There is a passage way through a rocky outcropping that you can crawl through to the other beach and plenty of tide pools to keep you busy exploring throughout the day," shares Tarah S. During low tide, multiple access points lead to these natural features.
Waterfall hiking: From horse camps, access nearby trail systems leading to scenic falls. "There is a hike with a trailhead 2 miles from the campsite and then the .8 mile hike heads to a pretty waterfall which you can walk behind," reports Asia M. from Collins Campground. These shorter hikes work well as side trips during an equestrian camping weekend.
River campsites: Many sites at Collins Campground sit directly adjacent to flowing water. "Really beautiful little camping spot. Whimsical river access," comments Kaelin M. The sound of water creates a peaceful backdrop for overnight stays between trail rides.
Wildlife viewing: The Olympic Peninsula's diverse ecosystems support abundant wildlife visible from camps and trails. "The Valley is home to a herd of Elk as well as deer, bears and other wildlife," explains Rich M. about Enchanted Valley, which serves as a distant backcountry destination for advanced riders.
Privacy between sites: Horse camps typically offer more space than standard campgrounds. "There is a good amount of space between most campsites," notes Heartworn H. This separation allows equestrian campers to maintain appropriate distance between animals from different parties.
Seasonal limitations: Some horse camps operate on restricted schedules. Green Mountain is "only open on weekends," according to reviewer Ivy K., requiring advance planning for multi-day trips.
Trail conditions: Spring and fall may bring muddy conditions to lower elevation trails. "The road from highway 101 to the campground has SO MANY potholes. Big ones that we had to navigate in our RV," warns Asia M. about Collins Campground access, which affects horse trailers similarly.
Required equipment: Dungeness Recreation Area and other nearby campgrounds enforce standard regulations. "Pets must be allowed, because there were plenty," reports Juice B., indicating that horse owners need to follow established rules for animal management in developed campgrounds.
Playground access: Some campgrounds near horse facilities include family amenities. "This campground is great for families and people with kids. There are playgrounds near the bathrooms," shares Melissa J. about Dungeness Recreation Area, making it suitable for mixed groups with riders and non-riders.
Combined activities: Plan itineraries with varied activities for family members who don't ride. "You are a short drive from the Olympic Game Farm, well worth a visit. Check it out online, the kids will love feeding the buffalo and elk," suggests Melissa J.
