Heart O' the Hills Campground
Amazing spot.
Great spot! What a place.

Minnie Peterson Campground
Beautiful and easy!
Didn’t know what to expect. Needed a place to sleep on the way to the Hoh Rainforest. Site is free with a discover pass which is $30. The site was east to find off the road in the dark. There was only one other group of campers when we arrived, and they’d left by the time we got up. Lots of beautiful old trees draped in moss, nice fire pits, clean pit toilet. It drizzled almost the whole time which was what we were expecting mid October. 10/10 would come again!
I will say we were right off the road which could be more annoying in peak season.

Sadie Creek Campground
Easy and beautiful!
We drove right up. Notice said we needed a discover pass, which we didn’t have, nor did we have enough service to look up what it was. We winged it and and got the pass later in town. $30 for so many sites in WA so worth it. The sites were a bunch of drive ups in a ring with a pit toilet near by. Surrounded by trees and right on the way between Port Ángeles and Cape Flattery. Would do again!

Hwy 101 - Near South Beach Campground
No campsites
Drove about 1 mile down the road and it was closed off. A couple of pull offs that were super muddy so didn’t bother. South Beach Campground just down the road is also closed.

South Beach Campground
Very enjoyable
Such a beautiful view, hard to beat! clean bathrooms and everyone was very friendly. Lots of little trails straight to the beach. Great place to watch the sunset and have a quiet campfire

Quileute Oceanside Resort
Expensive
Sites are close to beach, beautiful. On the other hand are the sites spaced close together. The bathroom is not what you expected if you pay more than 75 dollar. You had even to pay for a shower.

LegendSouth Beach Campground
Nice if you get a front row spot
This campground is part of the Olympic National Park, it’s FCFS only, and very bare bones. There are flush toilets, but no sinks or showers or water spigots- don’t forget to bring your own water!
It’s $20/night, and you pay when you arrive after you select a site. You pay either via a QR code with PayPal or a credit card(if you have cell reception), or fill out your credit card information on a slip that you drop in a deposit box. No cash and no checks accepted. No campfires allowed at this time. The ATT phone had decent reception, the Verizon phone was very weak and basically unusable.
There is a row of sites along the edge that are the primo sites- full ocean view. Everyone else can make do with the ocean views they get from in between all the other campers. The waves are calm and steady all night, very relaxing and nice for drowning out generator sounds. There are trash bins but no recycling bins. Each site is attached to a numbered picnic table. If there’s no free picnic table then it’s not a site (we were confused by this big open area that would have easily fit us, but it wasn’t actually a site. Look for the picnic table).
There is a host on site. There are trails down to the beach, after climbing over driftwood and rocks, but otherwise no trails or hiking or anything else to do directly from the campground. We stayed one night.

Beautiful overnight on a river
Wife found this place on internet.
You pay a $5 “road use” fee to access the property. You drive down to a huge gravel bar solidly packed down. There are many sites right next to the Hoh river, and it’s beautiful.
We talked to some great other campers and had a peaceful stay.

Great spot
We are here in a 30 foot 5th wheel with no problem. But only maybe 3 sites could accommodate this size.

DNR Dispersed Campsite
DNR Land by the beach
This location was brought over from the iOverlander app. Follow the link for pictures.
DNR land from the Indian reservation to the highway. You can park anywhere along the road.
It has gorgeous sunset views on the beach. Very little nearby firewood, pick some up on your way. - Several houses along the highway have honor stands.
The only available reported cell service is Verizon and TMobile, but both can be patchy. Sometimes able to pick up Canadian cell providers from across the water.
Juliana C.ScoutAllens Bar Campground
Solo Female Traveler
After someone stole my original site at a campground, I stumbled across Allen’s (sand)bar. I was hesitant at first because it’s far back on someone’s property but I took a chance and found paradise! The water, the sunset, and a bunch of people minding their own business. I’m keeping this spot a secret, but incase you’re a SFT, I gotchu.
Details: you must be self contained (no tent camping) and you have to use the woods.

Elwha Dam RV Park
Great park
We had a secluded site which is perfect for a dog. It’s quiet in the park and there’s no major highway close by. The staff is great!
Renegade M.TravelerHeart O' the Hills Campground
Beautiful campground with onsite Gestapo
After two lovely nights earlier in the week I returned to the Heart O’the Hills campground for my last night of my trip. I found a site I liked, with Devil’s Club behind it and a cool empty tree stump with Salal around and above it. All was well so I thought. Until a couple came by, German maybe, saying I’m in their spot which they already paid for. It says clearly to leave something in a spot chosen which they didn’t. I didn’t know it’s needed to check the (confusing) registration board to see if a site has been taken. It’s a first come campground with no preregistration. Says on the sign to leave something to indicate a site is taken. Also I hadn’t paid yet as I first find an open site, set up everything and make food before too dark. They wanted me to leave the site. I said I really couldn’t. It would be too difficult physically to pack up and move. (Petite 66 yr old female here) Many sites were still available. They were going to see if I can pay for another site they’d take as I suggested. Instead they went to the onsite femi-Nazi attendant. She came to my site while I was still eating demanding that I leave. I said that it would be too difficult. She then threatened to call law enforcement. Clearly I was a criminal to her the way she aggressively verbally abused and threatened me despite me explaining what happened. I still said it would be too difficult for me to pack up and move. She huffed off to ask the couple if they are okay finding another site. If not I would have packed up and left the campground. She returned saying I can stay still aggressively asking why I hadn’t paid yet. I was waiting for the couple to let me know first!!! She basically yelled at me to go pay now. “RIGHT NOW!!!!”- like an unconscious parent ordering their child to do something. Jeez. What the F is wrong with some people? She needs to be head honcho in a military boot camp. Or a prison warden. I stopped at the visitor center on the way out and got contact info to report her. Totally unwarranted treatment of anyone. Very upsetting to be the target energetically of her inferiority complexes which she compensates by abusing and lording (trying to) over others. 😖

Cute and fun
Wonderful spot to wake up next to a river. Need to be mindful of other campers in the area. Met a friendly dog. Looks like an ok place to float down the river 😉

Forest Service Road 29 Dispersed Camping Loop
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.

Great Place for twilight fans
Great camp ground, friendly and clean facilities. Showers are coin unfortunately. Bring a rain coat and boots because your camp will be wet constantly!

FS-2918 Dispersed Site
Looks nice but NOT for big RVs
I usually only stay at the places identified as "Big Rig Friendly" but I gave this location a shot since a review said there were buses that found a spot... we tried it in our 40ft Class A and got pretty jammed up down a narrow road, trying to follow the directions in the comment. Disconnected the toad and ran around trying to find anything that would work but there was nothing for our size. I do not recommend trying if you're in a large Class A.

First come first serve. Nice little trail down to the river. Scary rollers bring TP

Crescent Beach & RV Park
Wow! Absolutely beautiful!
Wether you have a beach view or not your spot will be amazing! The beach access alone is worth the higher cost. Bring quarters for hot showers.
Tyler C.GuideHwy 101 - Near South Beach Campground
Watch where you are.
The coordinates for this location takes you into a road that is within the National Park. There is “No free camping” in the national park. Across the road you’ll find the South Beach Camping. This is a FCFS open campground provided by NPS. It’s $20/night or $10/night if you have a reciprocal pass.
There’s toilets and a great ocean view and beach access. If you choose to park down the access road, you could potentially be ticketed. I did choose to stay 1 night at the campground. Pretty crowded by RV’s but was okay for a single night.
Amber R.TravelerFS-2918 Dispersed Site
Several spots, paved road
The road keeps going and there are many pull offs and forks. Right on the other side of the national park road. Found a spot right by the river.
MikeGuideHeart O' the Hills Campground
Lots of great sites!
This is a great campground. We rolled in on a Thursday evening, hoping we were there early enough to snag a spot, since it's all first-come, first-served. There were quite a few to pick from and we ended up with a great spot. By Friday night, there was only a few spots left. The good: flush toilets! We heard owls every night. Also, they have astronomy presentations up at Hurricane Ridge, which is cool. The bad: no showers and the bathrooms in A-Loop were closed for renovation. Also, the fire ban sucked.

Klahowya Campground
Great place
Loved this place. It was FCFS, but there were many sites. It was on the river and kids swimming and playing. Nice interpretive walk in campground. My only complaint was the vault toilets were nearly full and no toilet paper.
Tori E.GuideElwha Dam RV Park
Safe & Fun!
This was my 2nd time camping here! I love how safe and family friendly it is. I camped alone with my dog and I had zero issues. The trails are fun to explore, and the camping area is well maintained.

Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground — Olympic National Park
Traffic Jam
On the positive side, this gives you a place to stay. The negative is that it's so tight you you can share dinner dishes with your neighbors next door and likely won't be able to extend your awning all the way out. Depending on where your assigned spot is and what type of rig is parked next or near you, you will probably have to ask at least one person, probably two to move their vehicles so you have enough room to back into your spot. It is that tight. The spring itself it nice, so bring your swim suits, and the park itself is beautiful and well worth the hassle of staying there.
