LegendFlowing Lake Park & Campground
Very green and quiet
I’m giving this park only four stars because the roads coming into the park and the road through the park are very narrow and winding. I probably wouldn’t bring a trailer more than 32 or 33 feet long in here as there are tight curves around trees. Did have electric and water. But as others have said, kind of surprised that it doesn’t have a dump station. Very nice walking trail through the forest and next to a lake where one could go swimming or boating. We were here in midweek in September and the park was only about 1/4 full. Our site number 26 was nice, but not very level. Showers were clean and hot water. Very nice play ground.

Heart O' the Hills Campground — Olympic National Park
Beautiful!
Beautiful site- ferns, large trees, mossy logs, table, level spot for our 8x8 tent as well as room for the Jeep. Warnings about bears and raccoons. Flush toilets and potable water.

Falls View Campground
Quiet forest camping at Falls View — spacious Site 12, a steep river hike, and Highway 101 for a soundtrack
Falls View Campground is a small, primitive U.S. Forest Service campground in Olympic National Forest, about 3.5 miles south of Quilcene on Highway 101. We spent two quiet nights here and had the place mostly to ourselves. That emptiness is the tradeoff: no potable water (the campground is under redesign), vault toilets only, no hookups, and first-come, first-served sites. If you want flush toilets and a water spigot, this is not it. If you want tall timber, a river below you, and room to breathe, it works. We stayed in Site 12, one of the newer spots. It was spacious, with good privacy from the next site and easy pull-through options for a van. Picnic table, fire ring, and enough gravel pad to park without a scramble. The campground map notes that Sites 1, 2, 3, and 9 are small and limited to car/truck campers; 12 felt like a different category. Payment is cashless. You can occupy a site, then either scan the QR code with the Recreation.gov app or drive about three miles north to the fee machine at Quilcene Ranger Station (295142 US-101). Official rate is $10 per night for a single site, plus $5 for an extra vehicle. Display the receipt on the site post. The Falls View Canyon Trail starts in the campground and drops to the Big Quilcene River. It is not an easy stroll. What goes down must come up, and the climb is steep — switchbacks, stairs in places, and enough grade to make you notice. The payoff is the river: mossy basalt, clear water, and that classic Olympic Peninsula green. There is also a shorter loop to a viewpoint of the waterfall plunging toward the river. Bring water; there is none at the campground. Highway 101 is close enough that you hear traffic. It did not ruin the stay for us, but light sleepers or people hunting total silence should know that going in. Pets must be leashed. Season is roughly May through September. Bottom line: Cheap, quiet, and pretty if you are self-contained and okay with vault toilets and a steep hike. Site 12 was a winner. Pack your own water and expect the highway

A Quiet, Serene Equestrian Camp
My feline and I were looking for a quiet, off the beaten path sanctuary and found it. We chose spot 14 in the nw corner, hidden and along the northern treeline. The road is gravel and took us a minute to roll in and once there, magnificent. There are amenities for horses to play, trails to ride, and corrals at each of the 15 sites. Although we did not have horses, this place was a wonderful spot to rest our road legs for a couple days.

Sequim Bay State Park Campground
A Cozy Off the Highway 101 State Park
This State Park is cozy and directly off Hwy 101. A Camp Host, small trail down to Sequim Bay, giant trees shading the campground, one shower and toilets, garbage, and cozy.

ScoutRhododendron Campground
standard car camping
10 out of 15 sites were available on Labor Day weekend Saturday at 4pm. No reservations - it's just show up, put $15 cash in the box, and claim your campsite. Perfectly adequate car camping with a picnic table, fire circle, and access to pit toilets.
you can still hear road noise from the main road, and barking dogs in the morning from a nearby dog sanctuary. Beautiful rhododendron brush covers the space between sites.

Lovely Campground, Disgusting Vault Toilets
Campsites are clean and private, but the vault toilets were so bad we left early. This campground would have been great otherwise. Tent pad was far from level in our site but others looked better.
MikeGuideDungeness Recreation Area
Not bad, but you better arrive by 10!
First, the really bad and frankly, stupid: This park locks down at 10pm, and there is no way to get in. They do a crappy job of alerting you too. It's in some small print, but it needs to be big, bold, and front and center when you make the reservation. We traveled 5+ hours and didn't make it in time and had to sleep in the small parking lot outside the gate. Another kind of dumb policy is the showers - The shower is free, but timed to 5 minutes. It's just short enough that you need to turn it on again to finish. Then you can't turn it off. I understand the purpose, but I'm guessing it wastes more water in the end.
Beyond that, it's generally a nice park. There are a lot of great sites with lots of trees for shade and hammocks. We heard owls and eagles, and the views are fantastic. The spit is cool, but no dogs. One last thing - it's on the bluff, not too far from the water. It can still be breeze and chilly in the summer. It's kind of a bummer when you can't have a fire.

Many campgrounds feature short hiking trails, beach access, and wildlife viewing opportunities.
