Best RV Parks & Resorts near Clallam Bay, WA

Sams RV Park in Clallam Bay provides year-round sites with water hookups, sewer connections, and 30-amp electrical service. The park accommodates big rigs with level pads and basic amenities including toilet facilities. Other options include Forks 101 RV Park, featuring full hookups with 50-amp service, sanitary dump, and picnic tables at each site, while Elwha Dam RV Park near Port Angeles offers both 30 and 50-amp electrical connections with sewer and water hookups. Shadow Mountain RV Park maintains 75 sites with full hookup capabilities including 30 and 50-amp service. "RV spaces are tight. You do have a picnic table and fire-ring, but the next one is 15 feet away. At times it can feel like you are at an RV rally being held in a Wal-Mart parking lot."

Many RV parks throughout the Olympic Peninsula require advance reservations during summer months when tourism peaks. Between Port Angeles and Forks, pull-through sites accommodate larger rigs, though several parks feature gravel pads that may require leveling blocks during wet seasons. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with stronger signals near Port Angeles and more limited connectivity closer to coastal areas and within Olympic National Park boundaries. A recent review noted: "Before you drive your rig in here, I highly recommend you drive up the road about 50 yards and park in the dump-station lot, then walk back and scout out where your spot is and if you have a clear path to park." Most parks allow pets but enforce leash requirements, and several provide on-site firewood purchase options for convenience.

    Hoh Rain Forest - Olympic National Park

    Just gorgeous!

    We absolutely loved our stay here (9/5-9/7)! We arrived on a weekday and the campground was fairly empty, so we were able to grab a great spot in the A loop with easy access to the restrooms and the trails to the visitor center. The campground is first come, first serve, dry camping, and the dump station was out of service while we were there.

    There are both back-in and pull- through sites with concrete pads, fire rings, and picnic tables. Some tight turns and low-hanging trees but our 32’ fifth wheel managed just fine. Plenty of wildlife, including deer, rabbits, birds, squirrels, and numerous banana slugs.

    The visitor is an easy walk from the campground. The hiking trails were simply gorgeous and we definitely did not stay long enough to thoroughly enjoy this area of Olympic National Park.

    Nearby Forks, WA is a 45 minute drive from the campground.

    Two bars of Verizon LTE but it varied throughout the park.

    A note about the drive in: We are very glad we arrived on a weekday! The road into this campground is narrow, and there were times we were driving over the centerline to keep our rig on the road. There is no shoulder for most of the drive and we did not want to meet any oncoming traffic with a rig as long as ours. It’s doable but take it slow!

    Whiskey Creek Beach NW

    One of Our Favorites

    If you enjoy a perfectly spaced concrete pads, paved roads, being close to all the chain restaurants type RV resort, this may not be for you. Otherwise if you enjoy really feeling away from the worlds chaos, being able to sit out with an amazing view and the loudest noise normally being the waves crashing, screeching of eagles and the occasional ship horn bellowing then this is a class A place! We have been all over the country and this is the place we always miss the most. You can stay at WCB in a variety of ways. Bring your own tent and stay on one of the waterside wood platforms. Bring your own RV and stay at either full hook up sites with both 30 and 50 amp available or dry camp. You can rent one of their RVs ranging from an A frame pop up to big motorhomes. There are also waterside cabins, tiny homes and a larger cabin. Really something for every one. AT&T service is decent, bounces between US and Canada towers though so be sure roaming is not an issue for your bill. The owners Tim and Rachel are absolutely great on top of everything else.

    Olympic Peninsula-Port Angeles KOA

    Peaceful, friendly, comfortable

    We stayed 3 nights in a quiet site that backed to a farm field with cows. Nice and spacious sites, really a nice family-friendly and dog-friendly campground with nice scattered tree cover and landscaping. I could tell families come back to this one for getaways. Laundry and camp store with nice supplies. Great friendly staff. Would for sure stay here again en route to Olympic National Park.

    Olympic Peninsula-Port Angeles KOA

    One of the better KOA's I've seen

    We usually travel with a pop-up camper and tend to prefer USFS campgrounds or dispersed camping. But we are currently travelling in a rented 30' RV during a holiday week, so we decided to give this KOA a try.

    I was pleasantly surprised! We stayed in site 130 for 2 nights, and it was quiet and peaceful, despite the proximity to hwy 101. We arrived late at night and had no problem getting checked in and finding our assigned spot. We opted for a site with electric and water hookups. It had a picnic table and a fire ring, but we didn't get a chance to use them because we were constantly on the go. Our site was $63.99/night.

    They have Wifi, which was a nice feature that we weren't expecting. There is a picnic pavilion, horseshoes, tetherball, a swimming pool, a playground, a game room, and these really cool looking big wheel things that you can rent for $5/30 minutes. There is also a nice little general store that offers most things a camper could need. The folks who work there are very friendly and helpful. They offer free showers and a sink with hot water for washing dishes also. There is a large laundry room, but we didn't use it. We refilled on water and propane and we used their dump station before we left.

    Overall, this KOA was clean and quiet and offered many amenities. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for "camping" with all the luxuries of home.

    Heart O' the Hills Campground — Olympic National Park

    Beautiful clean primitive campgrounds

    In the Olympic NP, close to Hurricane Ridge to the south, 15 min to town of Port Ángeles to the north. Camped in loop C. Had a beautiful private site. Old growth forest and hiking trails all around. No hookups, no dump station. Each site has fire ring, picnic table. Each loop has a clean, powered, plumbed bathroom, no showers. Would camp again.

    Salish Trails Campground

    Highway 101 close, about 100 yards away.

    Checked in with the friendly folks. Escorted to our gravel, pull through site. Fairly level. Utilities worked well though I needed a sewer hose extension. The freeway is about a hundred yards away from the 50 amp pull through sites we were in. This section is the closest, hence all the noise day and at night. I had my white noise machine and fan on and I could still hear the trucks and all the drivers with their fart tube equipped sports car want-to-be's.  Bring ear plugs. Rate was 90.00 plus a night, so a bit higher than the other 75.00 we have had in the last 4 weeks at other RV Parks. We did take a walk around. It was a bit quieter around the 30 amp RV sites, so you may want to plan for that and use your dog bone adapter if you have 50 amp service. I would rate this RV park a 3.5, but a 4.

    Fairholme Campground — Olympic National Park

    Summer Weekend: The Walmart Parking Lot was Less Crowded with Campers

    Fairholm is a picturesque campground on the edge of Lake Crescent in a very easily accessible part of Olympic National Park for weekend getaways from Seattle and local adventures in from Port Angeles. Because the lake is pretty and easy to get to, this camp ground is POPULAR.

    There are 3 loops + walk in lakeside side, but the actual size of the camp ground is small. Sites are very small and right next to one another. There is no privacy and no feeling of being out in the woods. The convenience here during the crowded month is simply proximity to Lake Crescent.

    All sites here are first come, but there is not an in/out or campground host system for any of the ONP campgrounds like I've experienced in other national parks. The only way to know if a site is opening is to drive around in circles and/or to simultaneously check the reservation board to see if anyone was leaving. It's a bit of a free for all and not a very relaxing 'in the woods experience'

    Sites are all equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, and there are large bathrooms, running water, and even a camp store nearby. Fires were allowed in fire rings even though there is a summer burn ban in the park.

    I'd probably give this campground a much higher score (like all the other reviews) if it during any other time of the year when it wasn't absolutely crazy.

    If you arrive there during a busy time, an alternative is Littleton Horse Camp, an unmarked National Forest campground 4.4 miles just past Fairholm, turn right on the fireroad. This is where we moved to.

    Ozette Campground — Olympic National Park

    Worth the Drive X10!

    We’re not even sure that we should be reviewing this one… maybe we just need to keep it to ourselves. Cuz, it’s that cool!  We grabbed our beverages, our chairs, and walked the short path from our campsite to the shore of Ozette Lake. No sooner had we settled in to watch the evening’s color change than scores of water fowl claimed their nightly roots and an otter swam by on its way into its home in the grass – totally worth the drive in. 

    This small campground lies at the end of a long winding, but well paved, road in Olympic National Park. Getting there is part of the adventure, but from here one can hike out to the western most point of the contiguous 48 US states, Cape Alava.   Worth every moment!

    The sheltered lake offers many great miles of paddling and small boat fishing holes, as well as access to some great backcountry camping spots. We paddled from the campground to Ericson Bay and then hiked the very wet trail out to the Pacific coast, which was a great day trip.   The next day we took the path more travelled and headed out along the boardwalk trail to the beach where you can access Cape Alava.  Some native territory back in this area, so please be respectful of signs and warnings.  You can walk along the beach for miles and miles.

    The campsites are rather small and won’t accommodate large RV’s but have a lot of grass area for tents, picnic tables and fire rings. The toilets are about 1/4 mile away at the Ozette Visitor’s Center, with flush toilets and running sinks, fresh drinking water, but no showers.   There you can dispose of trash and recycling, as well as check out some cool interpretation displays and access a couple of trails and the Ozette River. 

    Many of the sites have good to decent open sky for solar power and satellite internet, the mobile phone service was non-existent.  In a word, PERFECT!

    Nearby towns with any services are Neah Bay and Clallah Bay, which are both super cool to check out.

    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.


Guide to Clallam Bay

Olympic Peninsula RV parks around Clallam Bay, Washington offer year-round access with varying terrain and amenities. The region receives 100-140 inches of rainfall annually, creating lush forest conditions that surround most camping areas. Despite coastal proximity, many RV sites have limited ocean views and are situated along Highway 112 or connecting roads.

What to do

Explore Olympic National Forest: Short drives from Clallam Bay provide access to hiking trails and scenic viewpoints. "This park is so beautiful, located directly across from the ocean. All sites are a quick walk to the beach (1/2 mile private beach for guests. So awesome that it never gets crowded!) and behind the park are great views of snow capped mountains," notes a visitor to Crescent Beach & RV Park.

Visit coastal beaches: The area offers unique beach access points with distinctive features. A camper at Forks 101 RV Park shared, "Easily walkable into downtown Forks to see the Twilight stuff and a short drive to La Push with some exceptional beach views."

Check tide schedules: Timing matters for beach activities. "Important to get a tide schedule before heading to Hole in the Rock on Rialto Beach which is an hour and a half walk from the parking lot. The beach has small smooth rocks instead of sand so a fast paced walk is hard. If you don't pay attention to the tides, you could get in real trouble," warns a visitor staying near Forks.

What campers like

Fresh produce access: Some campgrounds offer unexpected food options. At Elwha Dam RV Park, "They offer a community garden, so feel free to gather at no cost fresh veggies" and "They offer free produce to the campers from their garden & free movie rentals."

Walkable amenities: Convenience of supplies matters in this remote region. A Forks 101 RV Park visitor noted, "This campground is conveniently located across the street from a grocery/outdoorsman store if you need anything while camping," while another appreciated, "Right on the road, hosts were very friendly. Full hook ups at a reasonable price. Quiet, stores and fuel very close by."

Off-season experiences: Winter and spring visits offer different advantages. "So rare to have such a clear view of the ocean right from your camp site. Truly incredible," reports a camper who visited Crescent Beach & RV Park during off-peak season.

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly based on location and carrier. A visitor noted, "Cell service is there if you stand on one foot and constantly tap your head. Wifi was no better."

Space constraints: Many RV parks have tight spacing between units. According to a camper at Shadow Mountain RV Park and Campground, "The 'dispersed camping' is a joke. 19 dollars and the area they want you to stay in is not just 'next' to the highway. There are basically no trees in the way—it's less dispersed and more 'camping on the shoulder of a highway'."

Facility variations: Campground amenities differ widely. "Bathrooms and showers are clean. The laundry room is also clean but you will need quarters (you can buy them in the office). No checking in after 6pm so make sure you arrive before then to get codes for the restrooms and showers!" advises a camper about Forks facilities.

Tips for camping with families

Kitchen facilities: Some parks offer cooking options beyond your campsite. At Elwha Dam RV Park, "The kitchen is exceptional—they provide and allow you to borrow just about any kitchen utensil you might need."

Recreational options: Look for campgrounds with built-in activities. "They have a veggie garden to share, lots of outdoor activity areas and places to explore within walking distance. It's a great base camp for exploring the peninsula," noted one Elwha Dam visitor.

Family-friendly safety: Solo travelers with children report positive experiences in select locations. A camper at Hard Rain Cafe and RV Park mentioned, "This is a small RV park about 6 miles up the road from Forks. There is a small general store and cafe where you can grab a bite and some goods before heading deep into the Hoh. Rafting options are available for tour through the store."

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose specific sites based on your needs. "If you have a dog, get one of [the sites with] a big grassy area in a circle of sites," advises an RVer at RV@Olympic, adding "Nice place for access to the northern part of Olympic."

Pre-arrival timing: Pay attention to check-in requirements. "No late check in, so get there before they close," warns a visitor about one park, while another notes, "Before you drive your rig in here, I highly recommend you drive up the road about 50 yards and park in the dump-station lot, then walk back and scout out where your spot is."

Level site challenges: RV parks in Clallam Bay and surrounding areas often require additional equipment. One reviewer explains, "My rig fit in the spot, but once I put out both slides I was occupying the site next to mine," while another mentions, "Pull through sites on grass, full hook ups."
