Best RV Parks & Resorts near Clallam Bay, WA

Jake from the Dyrt here! Captain's RV Hookups is a convenient pull-through spot for a quick setup and easy stay.  Check them out and leave a review about your stay on the Dyrt!

Clean bathrooms, shower had good water pressure. Good sized grassy patches between most sites and some pretty, old trees. Mountain scenery in the background is beautiful. Only complaint is the water pressure for the RV hookup seemed low. There also is very little privacy.

My wife was able to get a spot last minute so we added a day to our trip to head north before heading to the Oregon coast. This place is really worth the drive. The campground was very clean and most sports are private with some looking directly at the beach. There were no rv hookups but we had our generator so it was no problem. The beach is so beautiful with tons of drift wood and amazing views the tree of life will not disappoint you.

Three separate camping areas. The RV park is tightly packed with full hookups, dump site down the road. Loops A and B are dry sites with restroom buildings and water spigots. The camping loops are quiet, nestled in the woods with good campfire rings and tables. B55 was great for a smaller camper, our Aliner Ranger fit great with the tow vehicle perpendicular. Some of the sites accommodated larger Airstreams, while some just a car with tent areas away from parking. Overall awesome spot.

Most of the campsites her won’t accommodate a camper plus tow vehicle length of greater than about 30 feet maximum. For those tent, can or teardrop trailer camping, this is a great, clean place to camp especially because it’s First Come First Served and a ways away from the busier campgrounds to the West In Olympic National Park. No hookups but there’s water and you’re only about 6 miles from downtown Port Angeles. That’s close enough to drive for a coffee if you’re not very diehard of a camper. The sites are mostly shaded, the pull-ins are paved (but short). Hiking trails start right from the campground and Hurricane Ridge is 10 minutes up the mountain. Only complaint was some obnoxiously loud group pulling in at about 11PM and parking overnight in a closed campsite. Picture a couple of banks of bright truck mounted flood lamps and a midnight picnic for a group of starving kids on a Friday night. Of course they left early in the morning before the rangers arrive. But, pretty much could happen anywhere.

Giving three stars is subjective, but I can't give it a higher rating for RV camping because of how tight the spaces are.  The park itself it worthy of 5 stars easily! The RV lot is really crowded.  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.  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.  All spaces require backing in and you will often have to ask someone to move their vehicle so you will have enough room to manuever. If you look up Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort on Google Maps and do the Satellite view, you can see the RV campground directly across the river from the pool at the hot springs (they are within easy walking distance to each other).  I've also attached two parking lot pictures. 

Here are some pros and cons and you can decide for yourself:

Pros:  Olympic National Park is absolutely beautiful, and there is so much to see for everyone.  There are several hikes that are easy enough for almost everyone (Rain Forrest, Sol Duc Falls, etc.), and several that are just nice by car.  Of course there are a lot of options for serious backpackers.  The Hot Springs are open (as of May 2021) and you can reserve a time for them every day you are staying in the RV spaces. The park is absolutely beautiful and to see everything requires a lot of driving, so you can use your spot here as a base camp.  The Sol Duc Falls are a relatively easy hike and are nearby.  No matter what campground you stay at in Olympic National Park, be prepared to drive a lot to see other parts of the park.  The hot springs are nice, relaxing, and you can reserve a spot when it is not overly crowded as they have reservation times for RV campers. Also, despite the very crowded campground, most people were very nice and cooperative, and things quite down around 10PM each night.  The dump station I mentioned above is also open. 

Cons:  The RV spacing is very minimal.  We have an Escape19 trailer (no pop-outs) and when we extended our awning, there was about two or three feet left before it encroached on the RV space next door.  One experienced camper pulled in next to us so that when he extended his pop-out it went half-way over the log separating the two spaces.  There are NO RV spaces in any of the nearby campgrounds at Sol Duc, so if you have an RV and want to camp at Sol Duc, this is where you are going to camp.  Also, if your electrical outlet is not working, check with the desk at the Hot Springs as they apparently fail sometimes due to the air from the hot springs.  They were very prompt at fixing our outlet.  The hot springs emit a sulfur odor just like you would experience around an active volcanic area like volcanoes national park in Hawaii.  

Bottom line is the park is awesome and if this is the only RV space you can get, or if the hot springs are very important to you, then by all means stay here. I had a difficult time finding any detailed information about the campground on-line so I just want to make this info available so people are not surprised when they arrive.

Really enjoyed my time here. Probably my favorite RV park that had sites this close together. Store was well-stocked, area was clean and safe. Very convenient for beach and all of Olympic. Would definitely stay here again.

I don't know why I was so underwhelmed by this place, but I think it can be attributed to the multiple retail shops, haphazard RV parking and unkempt, close knit tent sites. It felt very congested and very exposed.

The things Hoh have going for it: it's a rain forest with amazing vegetation and riverside sites (that seem to fill fast).

This is an sweet campground split into four areas. Each had pit toilets, sink waste receptacle, and each site has a table and fire rings. The south campgrounds both have direct river sites to camp while the north ones have a small tributary as well. You can hike directly from either loop A or B to Sol Duc falls or the lovers loop. This is a moderate hike of about 3.8 miles. Early mornings the trail heads were clear and I had the entire loop to myself to enjoy myriad birds and critters everywhere. From the day use Area thee are three trail heads with many scenic and breath taking views. There is a hot springs resort not too far down the road that is $15 for the day. It is crowded with kids on the weekend yet weekdays and early mornings (opens at 9am but when you're too hip like me and find a deadhead on staff she might let you in early too! The fee site is at the camp entrance with ample envelopes. This site is a mix of reserved and walk up. Tent sites, camper van, and full hook ups available. Temps were brisk in evenings in mid July. Was a great spot to continue to heal and fight cancer. Book selection was "How not to die" and the soundtrack was "Down to the Moon" by Andreas Vollenweider.

We love Salt Creek Rec area. It is run by the county so the reservation system is a little dated but is better then it used to be. But, the reservations fill quickly so you have to be on it if you want certain dates. There are a few spots that are first-com first-served. Located on the Olympic Penninsula, there are two parts to the campground. The first is full hook up sites that have a great view of the sound but absolutely, no privacy. The other half is in trees with more privacy but not as many sites have the good views. Also, these sites can be shut down due to high winds. Campground has flush toilets, showers, playground, hikes, and access to tide pools. Last time we were there we saw whales, otters, eagles, starfish, anemones, and other tide pool creatures. There are two hikes. One takes you to an old fort which is pretty cool. The other takes you to a look out area. WARNING: Stay on the main trail. There was a spur trail that took you to see the water and we stumbled across a hornets nest in the ground. It was awful. My husband and I each had over 8 stings. My youngest had 3. My dog had a handful. But somehow my other son manages to escape sting free. There is a town close by that has a laundry and small store. But generally, everything you need it right at camp.

This is a cool place to camp. Tucked inside a moss-covered forest in Olympic Park, you are in a place that is very unique. There are hot springs, but they charge by the day and it isn’t cheap. Stock up before you get to the park, the nearest town is about 40 mins away. Also, the RV Park is really just a parking lot, so be aware of this. If you have a camper or tent, go into the campground part. Sol Duc falls is very close also, and worth the short hike. It was a great experience, very glad we camped here.

Best large campground I've seen in the Olympic peninsula in WA State, near the town of Forks, by the Quillayute river and close to Rialto beach.

94 sites, restrooms entirely redone, with real mirrors, ladies :), and good lighting, and the water stations outside have been redone as well with a nice wood slab on it (see picture). No showers, but you can go for a shower a few miles down at Bogachiel Park, or at 3 rivers resort, 5 minutes drive away.

Remember this is the rainiest part of WA State, how do you think they're getting that lush rainforest? So have good rain gear, rainboots, yes, even in summer, so you may want to bring a tarp or get a canopy for rainy days, we got ours at Forks Outfitters. We had one full day and a half of rain then the weather went for gorgeous again.

We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet this campground was, in spite of its size and the fact that it was still pretty busy when we arrived on July 5th. We stayed on Loop A, site 15 for a few days, it was an excellent base camp to explore the area.

You can either hike or drive to nearby beautiful Rialto Beach. The campground also has a small outdoor amphitheater,I assume for events, with a gorgeous door on the stage screen painted with Coast Salish native art. (see picture).

They sell firewood at the campground for 5 dollars a bundle, but we bought ours on the road outside the campground for 3 dollars.There are several private residences that sell firewood between 3 and 4.50 a bundle.

About 5 minutes drive on La Push road at the junction, at the Three Rivers resort,you can purchase supplies, gas, or dine (Hamburgers type of food, which I didn't try, but I had their excellent breakfast sandwich) which is also a campground and RV park. Fun place that exhibit among other vampire memorabilia, a "Vampire threat level" indicator.

Across the street from them, another RV park, with a little store that sells fishing supplies, salmon, and a few groceries, propane canisters, etc.

this is a beautiful campground in the olympic national forest. very quiet with large trees and vegetation between each site.

there are no hook ups but water is available with a dump station open only in the summer. sites are accessible for rvs but the loops wind through large trees and many sites will not accommodate rvs due to an inability to pull far enough forward to back in to the space.

no tv, wifi or phone service so this is a perfect park to relax and get away from the world.

Went in the off season and had the whole campground to ourselves which was great but the cost seemed pretty high and that the charged extra for our two little dogs (that stayed inside 99% of the time) seemed excessive. Full hookups were nice but we have stayed in much nicer resorts for the same price. Not sure if we’ll be back
