Perfect Get-Away
Our family had a lot of fun at Bogachiel! Some of the campsites lead right up to the river and were tucked away by the forest. Super small but so close to Forks and La Push.

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Quileute Oceanside Resort campground features tent, RV, and cabin camping directly on First Beach in La Push, making it one of the most convenient dog-friendly campgrounds on the Washington coast. Dogs are permitted throughout the campground with leashes required in common areas. RV sites include water and electric hookups with ocean views from sites 26-41 providing particularly stunning beach access. The campground maintains clean facilities with individual garbage cans at each site and security patrols ensuring camper safety. Bathroom facilities include pay showers that require additional fees beyond the standard camping rates, which run approximately $75 per night.
Several nearby campgrounds also accommodate pets, including Mora Campground in Olympic National Park, located near Rialto Beach and offering wooded sites with good privacy between neighbors. The heavily forested setting provides natural shade and a quiet atmosphere for dogs and their owners. Rialto Beach is accessible within a five-minute drive, allowing campers to enjoy beach walks with leashed pets. The area features multiple hiking trails suitable for dogs, though national park leash rules apply strictly throughout. Most sites cannot accommodate large RVs due to the winding access roads and limited pull-through space. Clean bathrooms with flush toilets and potable water are available, though the campground lacks shower facilities and cell service, making it ideal for those seeking to disconnect while camping with their dogs.

Super convenient to beach
Quiet campground. Unfortunately, it was raining quite a bit when we were there and Rialto Beach was closed due to hazardous conditions. Ocean was wild and apparently log depris can fly around. It was your usual well maintained national park campground. Bathrooms were clean. Spots were level. We did NOT have cell reception.
It was close to Forks so you can check out all the Twilight items in the town if you are a twilight fan. You can also check out the La Push beaches. We went there when Rialto beach was closed. Gotta love Washington State rain!!!

Mora Campground — Olympic National Park
Good location for exploring
Campground is in a good location for lots of exploring. Forks is near by plus Rialto beach, La push and many more beaches and trails. I even made a trip down to the Hoh rain forest from my site. The spots were relatively private and had good shade. There was some road noise but overall it was a great campground.

Gravel, Clean, friendly
Loved it. Great spot to access La Push, and the coastline. Great beaches with dramatic views nearby. Owners were great to deal with and very nice. We liked staying here and will probably return next time we get up this way.

Forks 101 RV Park
Super convenient to many things
Good little spot to see the town of Forks and as a base to see Rialto beach, La Push and Hoh Rainforest.
We got a level pull thru spot. Pasture of horses behind us. Berries to pick right outside the trailer. One of the best showers we have had in a while at a campground. Hot and good pressure
They provide wifi. We had a hard time getting signal through our trailer,as soon as you walked outside thou no issues. They also have a laundry area to do laundry. Would stay here again!
Forks is a rainy town, was able to sightsee in between rain. Ran around town and enjoyed the Twilight movie themes.
Kyle M.GuideStrawberry Point Camping — Olympic National Park
Beautiful Beach Camping
There is some incredible beach camping to be had at Strawberry Point. The best spots are located immediately south of the point on the beach and tucked into the giant piles of driftwood. There is a freshwater creek about 1/4 mile south of Strawberry Point. There are also other fresh water sources on the way if you access the beach trail from the La Push area. It's National Park so bear cans (for racoons ) and permits are required. I would bring a rain shell even if the weather calls for clear skies.

TravelerForks 101 RV Park
Quality Facilities
We stayed here at the beginning of September 2019, and they weren't super busy. Clean bathrooms with free showers. Laundry facilities on site if needed. Fair sized spots. Close to the road but surprisingly limited noise from the road. Easily walkable into downtown Forks to see the Twilight stuff and an short drive to La Push with some exceptional beach views. A little on the pricey side for what it is.
Amber B.GuideMora Campground — Olympic National Park
Surprise
the short: lots of spots, nicely maintained, friendly host and walk to Rialto beach.
the long: we didn't really have a plan, just hoping to find a spot near La Push. we happened upon Mora and we were pleasantly surprised. we grabbed a site with lots of space and set up. we walked around all the loops and chatted up the host, Wendy. we purchased some wood for 5$ as we were almost out. we set out to walk to the beach with the dogs and it's a nice stroll. Rialto beach is beautiful! big trees and lots of sea stacks. be careful on the walk as the road has no shoulder and some drivers are not mindful to peds on that stretch. the grounds got pretty busy by nightfall but still peaceful. the road was a bit too near our site but it wasn't very noticeable after dark. the area is lovely and worth a stop if you're traveling through.
Guide to La Push
The Olympic Peninsula's western coast features dense temperate rainforest that receives over 100 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush camping environments around La Push. Located at the mouth of the Quillayute River, this area serves as a gateway to Olympic National Park's coastal section, with campsites that range from primitive forest settings to oceanfront locations. Most campgrounds maintain year-round access despite seasonal weather changes.
What to Do
Beach exploration and tide pooling: At Mora Campground, visitors can quickly access nearby coastal attractions. "Very close to Rialto Beach with more privacy. Limited amenities, just a bathroom but very serviceable. Also a great choice is you have pups since dogs are not allowed at the Rialto beach area," notes Natalie B. The campground serves as an excellent base for exploring tide pools at low tide.
Rainforest hiking: The temperate rainforest surrounds many camping areas with moss-covered trails. "This is a beautiful campground in the olympic national forest. very quiet with large trees and vegetation between each site," reports Smittie at Mora Campground. Most trails require leashes for pets and proper rain gear regardless of season.
Wildlife viewing: Marine mammals are frequently spotted from coastal campsites. At Quileute Oceanside Resort, one camper mentioned, "Saw 9 seals in the ocean the evening we got there. Such a pretty place, I can't recommend this highly enough." Morning and evening provide optimal viewing times for wildlife along the shoreline.
What Campers Like
River access: At Cottonwood Campground, campers appreciate the natural water features. "This has large sites and are fairly secluded from each other. Has a nice creek as well and is close to the hoh River," writes Nik B. The river provides swimming and fishing opportunities during summer months.
Private campsites: Many campgrounds in the area feature natural separation between sites. "Only a few sites and each is incredibly private. Absolutely beautiful space for tent camping or boondocking on the Olympic Peninsula," notes Stephanie E. about Cottonwood Campground. The native vegetation creates natural buffers between neighboring campsites.
Central location: Bogachiel State Park offers strategic positioning for exploring the region. "Our family had a lot of fun at Bogachiel! Some of the campsites lead right up to the river and were tucked away by the forest. Super small but so close to Forks and La Push," shares Kara C. Most attractions lie within a 30-minute drive of this centrally located campground.
What You Should Know
Weather considerations: The coastal climate brings frequent precipitation. "Prepare for rain as it will likely still rain in the summer with cooler evenings," advises Kayko S. about Kalaloch Campground. Waterproof gear remains essential year-round, particularly for tent campers.
Tide timing: Plan beach activities around tide schedules. "Make sure you go as the tide is going out. Tide pools are interesting to explore," advises Jennifer T. Incoming tides can block return routes from certain beach hikes, creating potential safety hazards for unprepared hikers.
Seasonal crowding: Summer brings peak visitation to all campgrounds. "This campground fills up fast. The access to the beach is easy, the beach is beautiful," reports Sheila M. Weekday arrivals provide better opportunities for securing sites at first-come, first-served campgrounds during peak season.
