"Our family of four made a base camp out of Whisky Creek, and we couldn't have been more blessed with a better place! Beach access, gated community, rec area, fire pit, and picnic tables! Not to mention one of the most beautiful views we've ever seen," shared one visitor. Weekend Worrior Camping offers three distinct glamping tents with different bed configurations—one with a king bed for couples, another with a king and twin for families, and a third with twin beds for friends traveling together. All glamping accommodations include full bedding, tables, chairs, and decorative rugs.

Glampers enjoy proximity to Lake Sutherland across from Shadow Mountain and can take day trips to Olympic National Park's attractions. Salt Creek Recreation Area, located nearby, offers shower facilities for 25 cents per 2 minutes. Joyce General Store provides supplies and the Blackberry Cafe, known for fruit pies, sits minutes away. Most glamping facilities in the area operate seasonally with availability concentrated between spring and early fall.

    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.

    Lakedale Resort

    Extremely convenient, accommodating, and beautiful.

    We stopped in for a few nights in mid September and this place was amazing. It was a mid week stay at the end of the season, so a very slow time to be there, which maybe made it better. There were minimal campers there and we really enjoyed having extra space and quiet. The canvas cabins were a great solution to either traveling with gear or renting gear locally since we flew into the area. When we arrived we found the cabin with everything we needed including firewood with matches and newspaper for lighting, a s’mores kit, and bed warmers (insulated rubber bags of boiling water). It was September and chilly at night, but the bed warmers worked well and the setup is designed to handle a cold night. Breakfast was included with the stay in the canvas cabins, and was a nice benefit. The food was good, and the staff was friendly. The grounds were clean and beautiful. There was a lot of wildlife on the grounds and fishing available on site. We will return again during future visits to SJI.

    Glamping!

    We had Nevas Canvas Tent #6. It was amazing! Glamping at its finest! King size bed was super comfy. We had a huge deck overlooking one of the three lakes. Our tent also had a bathroom w/ a toilet and shower, an electrIc heater, a trundle bed/couch, and electrical outlets. They currently have 6 of these Nevas tents, 16 canvas tents (w/o water/restrooms/electricity), 6 huge log cabins, 7 yurts (w small kitchens), 37 or so camping sites, 4 RV sites, and an Airstream you can rent. There is also a traditional lodge (not sure how many rooms, but it looked nice). Canvas tents and lodge come w/ breakfast. We will for sure come back!

    Whiskey Creek Beach NW

    Unexpected Gem

    Despite the poor weather, I couldn't have been happier with my Whiskey Creek Beach camping experience. From the views, adequately spaced tent sites, steel fire pits, potable water, picnics table, Adirondack chairs and shower access, this was a perfect getaway for this solo, 50-something, female camper, accompanied only by her chow-chow . I was able to finally fulfill my dream of camping along the shore. 

    One of the amazing features for those camping at the shorefront sites (T9, T10, T12) are the elevated, 12×14 decks that serve as your tent pad; No need to worry about a tarp placement beneath the tent. Metal cleets are placed around the deck stucture that you can use as tie downs for your tent and fly. These were useful for my additional tarp as I had to contend with mostly adverse weather conditions.The hosts have also provided, for your convenience, additional tie downs in case of high winds. Side Note: with the set up I created, I never once, had to contend with tent leakage, from the top or bottom. 

    There is a small, single shower hut apx. 30 yards from the tent site. It is an off the grid shower, but extremely clean, and has running hot water. The cost was $5.00 for unlimited use. The outhouse for the sites, next to the shower hut, is rather old, and was, in my opinion, the only drawback. There is, however, a newer flush toilet up a small hill near the site which I found myself gravitating to. 

    The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive. The area has a secure access gate. Firewood is available for sale at a cost of $4.99. The small town of Joyce is but a 10 minute drive where you will find an extremely well stocked old timey general store, two quaint resturaunts, and a laundromat, a huge bonus as I was on an extended stay of seven days.

    For those inclined to explore the region, you are well within driving distance to some of Washington's exceptiinally breathtaking hikes, including Hurricane Ridge, The Ozette Triangle, and Cape Flattery.

    Lake Leland Campground

    Reasonable spot. Rules not enforced.

    Arrived around 9pm. Mostly quiet. Camped near someone with a generator and thought they’d shut it off at 10pm (quiet hours 7am-10pm). Well, they didn’t shut it off till we asked and then turned it back on at midnight. Impossible to sleep. Got up to use the restroom and someone had been smoking cigarettes in the bathroom: shit + cig smoke = super lame. The number Jefferson County instructs you to call in case of issues is only operable from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Lower # campsites seem to have good morning sun.

    Falls Creek Campground

    Peaceful and pristine car-camping experience

    The Quinault Lake campground in Olympic National Forest is one of those rare quiet and scenic car-camping sites where you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the place without having to backpack or drive up rugged remote roads. We camped in early October and there were many beautiful sites to choose from. And I mean beautiful. We chose a site right on the lake with a tent platform under a Western red cedar and a separate section with a full table. There was a bathroom just a short 2 minute walk away. It rained - as it tends to do in the Olympics - all night but with the shade of the cedar and our waterproof tent we remained dry. The campground is just down the road from the Lake Quinault Lodge - a beautiful, rustic resort where we showered in the morning, sat by a roaring fire, and got a delicious (and decently priced) breakfast.

    So I actually work for fort worden hospitality. And I’ve noticed you guys have tent cabins on the list even though our tent cabins are still in the process of being built. And are unavailable for use due to not being completed in the timely fashion due to funding constraints

    Family oriented campground with a great location

    I reserved a "family campsite" for tent camping with a friend this past week. The campground has a great location and is easily accessible from all that the San Juan Island has to offer. The sites are large and well appointed, ours was in a nice wooded area, had two picnic tables, a nice fire pit with grill and multiple flat spots for our tent. The sites don't offer a ton of privacy and we were surrounded by large groups of families, which was a bit noisy. We arrived at this campground after spending the 3 prior nights in the backcountry, so we were pretty excited to take advantage of the bathhouse and shower facilities. We may have just caught the campground at a bad time, but we were shocked to see how filthy the bathrooms and showers were. The showers were ice cold and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. The price was also rather steep ($66/night for the most basic camp site offered) but understandable considering the lack of availability for campsites during the high season on the island.

    Overall, I would definitely recommend this campground to a family looking for fun activities for the kids while staying on the island. The resort also offers many other types of accommodations that I would be interested to try in the future including cabins, airstream trailers and "glamping" canvas tents!

Guide to Joyce

The Olympic Peninsula near Joyce, Washington features varied terrain where temperate rainforests meet rocky Pacific beaches. Located about 20 miles west of Port Angeles, this region receives significant rainfall averaging 70-100 inches annually, creating lush vegetation surrounding camping areas. Winter temperatures typically range from 30-45°F while summer highs reach 65-75°F with occasional fog along coastal areas.

What to do

Beach exploration at Salt Creek Recreation Area: Located near Whiskey Creek Beach NW, this area offers shower facilities for 25 cents per 2 minutes. "One of the best places on Dyrt I've ever used. Clean, quiet, nice sites. 1 to 2 bars Verizon signal. I'd use again," notes a visitor to Lyre River State Forest.

Rainforest hikes at Olympic National Park: The Sol Duc area features accessible trails through ancient forests. "We absolutely loved the Sol Duc Falls hike which passes through the campgrounds. It is a very easy hike (we took a two year old and he walked 50% of it) and very rewarding. The coolest part was how much you felt like you were in a different world," shared one camper at Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground.

Hot springs soaking: After hiking, relax in mineral pools near camping areas. "The pools are well maintained ($15 to get in), there's locker rooms with showers and there's also a diner. Down the road there's a short 1 mile hike to the falls!" reports a visitor to Sol Duc Hot Springs.

River access for fishing: Multiple campsites provide direct water access for anglers. "If you're a fisherman this is it! We drove thru scouting. It's beautiful 😍 the sites are nothing fancy but that is not what this is about," explains a visitor to Hoh Oxbow Campground.

What campers like

Elevated platform accommodations: Glamping close to Joyce, Washington includes various raised structures. "T5 is right on the ocean, they are dog friendly and hosts Rachael and Tim are great. We highly recommend Whiskey Creek. Nearby Port Angeles and Joyce General Store make it great!" shares a camper at Whiskey Creek Beach NW.

Waterfront tent platforms: Beachfront camping platforms provide security from ground moisture. "One of the amazing features for those camping at the shorefront sites (T9, T10, T12) are the elevated, 12×14 decks that serve as your tent pad; No need to worry about a tarp placement beneath the tent. Metal cleets are placed around the deck stucture that you can use as tie downs for your tent and fly," explains a visitor to Whiskey Creek Beach NW.

Old growth forest settings: Many campsites feature mature trees providing natural canopies. "This place is absolutely stunning. Huge, beautiful old growth trees surround campsites. Lots of great spots to choose from. Went in September and it was still pretty buggy and we got rained out but loved everything else about it otherwise," notes a visitor to Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort.

Rivers and creeks: Several campgrounds offer natural water features. "Very nice campground with creek side spots. Friendly hosts, easy self pay. Plenty of spots. Can't remember if it were the off season or not but there were hardly anyone there," mentions a camper at Hoh Oxbow Campground.

What you should know

Weather preparation: The Olympic Peninsula experiences significant rainfall year-round. "It is WA so plan on getting wet and muddy. Everything was constantly wet around Sol Duc. Plan and pack accordingly!" advises a camper.

Off-grid shower options: Some glamping facilities near Joyce have rustic bathing facilities. "There is a small, single shower hut apx. 30 yards from the tent site. It is an off the grid shower, but extremely clean, and has running hot water. The cost was $5.00 for unlimited use," notes a visitor to Whiskey Creek Beach NW.

Cell service variability: Mobile coverage varies significantly across camping areas. "AT&T service is decent, bounces between US and Canada towers though so be sure roaming is not an issue for your bill," explains a Whiskey Creek Beach visitor.

Reservation considerations: Many popular sites fill quickly during peak season. "The registration process for this campground is confusing, if you show up without reservations like we did. There's a board with info on it, but ultimately you need to drive back to the lodge where people go for hot springs soaks and register with them there," shares a camper at Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort.

Tips for camping with families

Joyce General Store proximity: This well-stocked shop provides camping supplies and groceries. "Nearby Port Angeles and Joyce General Store make it great!" mentions a Whiskey Creek Beach NW visitor.

Kid-friendly trails: Several campsites connect to gentle hiking paths suitable for young children. "It's a very easy hike (we took a two year old and he walked 50% of it) and very rewarding," notes a Sol Duc visitor.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Children can observe local fauna from safe distances. "There's deer and elk that come through the camp," reports a visitor to Weekend Worrior Camping.

Water noise considerations: Coastal camping may include loud wave action. "Only one complaint, and it's not the campsites fault, is that at night the tide comes in extremely close to the campsites and the it is LOUD. Had trouble sleeping, but my partner slept like a baby," cautions a Whiskey Creek Beach NW camper.

Tips from RVers

Size restrictions: Many campgrounds have limitations on vehicle length. "This campground is well off the beaten track along the Strait of Juan de Fuca with views of mountainous Vancouver Island, BC. There are a variety of funky tent and RV sites and even funkier cabins. The uncrowded RV sites come with fire pit and table," explains a visitor to Whiskey Creek Beach NW.

Leveling challenges: Some sites require significant adjustment for RVs. "Site B1 is super unlevel. Gravel and dirt in this site is very loose as well," warns a Whiskey Creek Beach NW camper.

Hookup variations: Electrical services differ across campgrounds offering glamping near Joyce. "We had a 21 foot long campervan. Road and site grounds were well maintained. Bathroom was clean," notes a visitor to Mora Campground.

Limited RV spaces: During peak season, designated RV sites fill quickly. "Ultimately, there wasn't room for us at the non-hookup campground, and the RV sites were all booked. Recommend reservations for this place!" advises a Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort visitor.
