    Overview

    For up to date pool schedule information, please visit our website here. Pool access fees are $18 for adults, $12 for children ages 4-12 and $12 for seniors over 62 years old per session. Towel rentals are $5. You may bring your own towel. Lockers are available, but locks are not provided. Located along the Sol Duc River, Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground is on the "edge of the backcountry in the heart of the Olympic National Park" with hot spring pools and access to many hiking trails. In the late 1800s, settlers found the hot springs and called them "Sol Duc" a mispronunciation of the Quileute word for sparkling waters. The first hotel was built at Sol Duc in 1912 but burned down in 1916. The resort was rebuilt on a more modest scale in the 1920s, and completely rebuilt in the 1980s, which reflects how the resort looks today.Recreation.gov offers reservations for 76 of the resort's 82 tent sites and for all 17 of the resort's RV campsites, all nestled under a lush green canopy of old growth forest. Reservations for the remaining 20 tent sites are made directly at the campground as walk in reservations. Advanced reservations are recommended to guarantee a campsite. Multiple hiking trails are accessible directly from the property, with the most popular taking guests to spectacular Sol Duc Falls.Book tent and RV campsites here on Recreation.gov (using the buttons on the right to view sites and availability). Visit the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort website to book reservations for the cabins.

    Very nice place!

    Hello everyone, I recently traveled around Washington and our guide directed us to the Lira River. I took some beautiful photos and one long video. I can upload it to vimeo, but for that I will need to convert it from mts to mp4 format. A friend suggested this site to me, and I was able to convert the video.

    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!!!

    Weird Layout - Very touristy

    Beautiful but busy area. The sites were laid out weird, with little to no privacy between sites. There was no river access from the campground which was unfortunate. The resort itself was so busy and did not look peaceful to soak in. We spent most of our days exploring the park and the coast. It is nice that it is close to the falls but they are also very busy. Long drive back to civilization. I have stayed at much better campgrounds in Washington, and was a bit disappointed by this one.

    Wedding Rocks — Olympic National Park

    Sacred remote location

    This is one of several very rustic dispersed campsites along a ruggedly beautiful stretch of Washington coast that are accessible only by hiking in. You’re set back only a few feet from the rocky beach and therefore exposed to weather coming off the ocean, so be sure to plan accordingly with tent, tarp and appropriate clothing. You have to register/reserve through the Port Angeles ranger station so you can’t just show up and camp. There’s a triangle trail from Ozette trailhead, so you can hike to Cape Alava and go south, and then return by going down to Sand Point and inland, or vice versa. One really cool nearby feature is a series of petroglyphs carved by native people in a nearby stone. It does feel like a sacred place.

    Rainy Day Perfection

    Arrived late on a Friday night with our fingers crossed that sites would be available (as this is a 1st come, 1st serve campsite). We were welcomed by a lovely camp host with answers to any question you could imagine, and BONUS!! a dry supply of firewood. Campsites were easy to locate, in an accessible loop, and the cleanest facilities I've seen - plus, each site is surrounded by a good deal of treeline to give you a bit of privacy. We woke up to a cricket and frog orchestra, and the beauty of the PNW outdoors! If you find your home staked to the ground for the weekend, this is a site you want to explore. Close to Hoh Rainforest, Rialto Beach and ocean exploration, and the treaty line between vampires and werewolves (FORKS, WASHINGTON!).

    Unattended Chaos

    Stopped here on a bicycle tour during Memorial Day weekend, and there were no camp hosts, rangers, or attendants of any kind. Hiker-biker sites do not require advance reservation and are supposed to be reserved for folks who are traveling without cars. Because no one was managing the campground, car campers had taken over the hiker-biker area, and there were cars parked in the driving lanes with people were setting up tents along the foot paths to the bathrooms. It looked like music festival camping.

    The campground is just outside Forks, Washington. After passing through the town, a truck full of men who had been drinking in a parking lot followed me out of town most of the way to the campground. Bad vibes all around in this area.

    I don't know whether or not this is a nice campground when it is being serviced. It may be, but I had a bad experience here that doesn't give me the confidence to want to return.

    Hoh Oxbow Campground

    Free camping (almost) on the Hoh River!

    This is another solid spot directly off Highway 101 that is managed By Washington DNR and only requires a Discovery Pass ($30 annually) to stay at! Set pretty close to Highway 101 a mile or so south of the turnoff to the Hoh Rainforest this is a much better bet than actually staying at the campground within the rainforest. If you're lucky you can snag one of the few spots right along the slow, cold and deep Hoh River and have a perfect view from your tent or trailer. Other spots are higher and away from the river but still settled in the trees of the campground. 

    I only saw one vault toilet there but there is a second section of the campground I didn't look at that may also have a toilet. There's a self-registration station at the entrance and a handicapped-accessible spot. I wouldn't take giant RV's down to this campground but it can accommodate smaller pull-behind trailers. 

    This is really an amazing spot and I'm sure it fills up during the summer. Beware though that this basically free camping can draw some sketchy people and if there isn't a camp host around I wouldn't leave any valuables out of your car(Iknow from experience) but most campgrounds do have host in the summer months.

    No oversight

    There are some big pluses and minuses to know about this special spot.

    • It is a truly beautiful spot on the river, unique vegetation, convenient to Olympic NP, and that’s all impressive enough on its own to net four stars.

    • There is confusion on the Dyrt and other sites: This is a Washington STATE PARK. It is not a National Park or National Forest. As long as you have a WA “Discover Pass,” you can stay here. Signs here state this clearly.

    • The “Discover Passes” are a pain for people who aren’t WA residents, but I digress. You can buy them online for $10/day.

    • Only 8 sites: One is ADA (if you don’t have a placard you can only claim it after 6 PM), four are not connected to the road (walk-in), three are OK for van/campers.

    • Because it’s so small, it feels secluded/abandoned. It’s technically full but I can’t see or hear anyone. There is no camp host and I haven’t seen anyone come by to check on the place. This might sound good to some, but we are right off the highway with lots of people circling through to check on the boat launch, use the (neglected) pit toilet, or… who knows. It doesn’t surprise me that another reviewer had things stolen. I would not feel especially safe here as a single camper if I wasn’t in a vehicle.

    Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground — Olympic National Park

    Ranger Review: Camping in the rain forest

    Campsite Review: This campground in the Sol Duc Valley is composed of several different loops and setups for every type of adventurer. In addition to the lodge with a general store and restaurants, there is an RV only parking lot which seemed a little different as it’s just a parking lot with hookups and a table at the end of each space. There was no separation whatsoever between them. However, the loops are more set into the fairytale-like forest and you feel much more like you’re actually in the rain forest. The campsites themselves seemed to all be kind of small, and a little close together but with nice flat areas, tables, fire ring, and lots and lots of underbrush you can’t really see your neighbors. We stayed at site 38 in loop A which had a nice tent spot set out under the trees along with a decent table and fire ring set back from what is basically a parking lot that was open to the road. When getting your site be careful about the exact size allotment if you’re in a larger vehicle, because these sizes didn’t seem correct. This site is listed as being a 35’ back-in, but it really is just a shared parking lot between this and the site next to it (37) across from the central restrooms. While the site might say it’ll fit your vehicle, the roads are narrow and there are a good number of trees and branches around which may impede your maneuvering if you’re in something large. Because our site and the one next to it have “spaces” for 2 vehicles each, we did have a few people whom would pull up park in the “lot” and then explore around the campground and loop at the board for available spaces which was a little annoying, but at least they aren’t walking through our site.

    The toilet facilities in Loop A were clean, but could have used a good once over. They seemed to have been maintained, just not super regularly and thankfully no guests had come in and destroyed them. There was hand soap but unfortunately the hand dryers were broken (which I normally like because of the reduction of trash, but dislike because of the increased noise they produce). You have some potable water/dish cleaning spigots, but nothing is there to catch the waste. There are also a couple of bear proof trash cans and the camp host sold fire wood (pricey at $8 a bundle). However, you can collect downed wood whenever the host isn’t selling wood.

    Amenities: standard picnic tables, fire rings, plus flush toilets, potable water, & bear/cougar proof trash cans |Prohibited: pets off-leash

    Nearby Hikes: Sol Duc Falls, exploring some old growth forest with a waterfall (highly recommended), Lover’s Lane, Ancient Groves, a self guided nature trail, & a couple lake trails

    You’re also just down the road from the Sol Duc Hot Springs, which is 3 different pools with the water pumped into them. At $15 a person, this seemed a little pricey, but you do get access to the showers, so if you’re really desperate it might be an option to clean up and then relax after some strenuous hikes.

    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.

    Bogachiel State Park Campground

    Bogachiel State Park Is One of the Best On the Olympic Peninsula

    Campground Review:

    Bogachiel State Park is poised right between the Olympic Peninsula Coast near Forks, Washington and La Push and the Hoh Rainforest. It's incredibly lush, so even though some campsites are closer together it never feels crowded. Instead, it has a lovely, meandering vibe.

    I appreciate that there are a two campsites reserve just for bikepackers or walk-ins, as well as the larger car camping sites. There is also a group campsite and a ADA-accessible campsite for disabled campers. The bathrooms have showers, and are also ADA-accessible. RVs under 40 feet in length can be accommodated, too.

    Named for the Bogachiel River that extends out of the Hoh Rainforest towards the Pacific, you can get your feet wet here and even go tubing. The location is pretty ideal— it's a reasonable drive from both Portland and Seattle and equidistant between the beach and the mountains, so it's a great basecamp from which to further explore the Olympic Peninsula over a multi-day camping trip. There are plenty of amenities to make your stay comfortable, but you still feel like you're really in nature, which is nice.

    Product Review:

    As a Dyrt Ranger, I'm lucky enough to occasionally have the opportunity to test and evaluate products. On this trip, I tested Ethnotek's Padu Dopp Kit Toiletry Bag, the Padu Zipper Pouch, and the Chaalo Pocket Travel Bag.

    One of my biggest pet peeves any time I'm living out of a backpack is losing all my small items only to find them rattling around in the bottom of my pack later. Whether I'm camping or traveling, I like knowing exactly where all my charger cables, chapstick, hand sanitizer, pens, sunscreen, makeup, and hairpins are. The Padu Dopp Kit Toiletry Bag and Padu Zipper Pouch were perfect for wrangling all that ephemera within my big backpack.

    Both the Padu bags are surprisingly roomy. I was impressed with how much I could fit into them. There are a number of thoughtful details, too. The Toiletry Bag is pretty on the outside, but the inside is made of water-resistant fabric, so I don't have to worry about spilled hand cream ruining my bag. There's also a mesh pocket so you can easily confirm the contents at a glance. The other interior pocket is made of that same water-resistant material, which is nice for keeping things like your toothbrush clean and separate.

    The Padu Zipper Pouch is smaller and simpler, with no interior pockets. Still, it was plenty big enough to hold all sorts of things, like a few phone chargers, sunglasses, and my spare battery pack. I like that you can order both products in a variety of different exterior patterns, too. It makes it even easier to stay organized when I don't have to worry about mixing up my bags. It's also wonderful that these are sturdy and practical, but pretty enough that I can carry them as a clutch bag. Perfect for when you're trying to travel light and need your gear to pull double duty!

    The Chaalo Pocket Travel Bag can definitely play multiple roles, too. You can use it to keep your essentials in one place within your larger backpack, like your keys, wallet, passport, credit or transit cards, point-and-shoot camera etc. It's long nylon strap, though, lets you use it as a cross-body or shoulder purse, too, just the right size for excursions where a day pack would be too much. No fumbling around looking for the car keys— there's an interior key clip. No looking for a pen, either, with the three pen slots. I was glad to have this when we wanted to leave Bogachiel and grab brunch at the River's Edge Restaurant on the Quileute Indian Reservation thirty minutes away.

    Like the two Padu bags, the Chaalo is also a really attractive bag that is as nice-looking as it is sturdy. That's a bonus for me— sometimes I get tired of outdoor gear that is all about performance but leaves something to be desired in the aesthetic department. Bogachiel is in such a beautiful part of the world. It's nice to have bags that are just as attractive.

    Ranger Review: Hoh Oxbow FREE Camping With Banner & Oak Beanie

    For FULL VIDEO Review CLICK HERE

    When traveling in the PNW, a handy item to consider is the Discover Pass. Not only does it allow access to all of the State Parks, but it also unlocks the limitless possibilities of FREE camping throughout the state of Washington. 

    I stumbled upon many campground which could be utilized throughout the state by simply having the pass, something which is somewhat of a secret they don’t share with you when you first visit the state itself. 

    Picking up this pass guarantees you unlimited access to these facilities for one calendar year and is only$40. 

    For more details about the Discover Pass CLICK HERE 

    Campground Review: 

    One of the many locations I found along the way was the HOH OxBow Campground, a semi improved campground just a short distance from the entrance to the Olympic National Park’s unique rainforest. When it comes to FREE camping in the area this is one of the more easily accessible sites with a quick turn out right off the 101. 

    Staying in this area you can expect larger campsites with picnic tables and fire rings and a single vault toilet for the location. There are around 10 campsites at this location and if you are traveling with friends each of these has plenty of room for 2-3 rigs or cars. 

    I found this site does fill however there are also some smaller pull outs over by the fishing area if you are looking to stay in your smaller vehicle. I pulled in later in the evening and needed a location for the evening which was relatively close to the rainforest, the next day’s adventure. It was pouring so camping in a tent was out of the question. I found a single parking/pull off area and discovered that you can stay here as well so it was perfect. 

    The next morning I woke to a chilly morning but no rain and decided to walk around and explore and was welcomed into the natural beauty of the area. From where I was parked there was a small walking trail which departed the campground and ran alongside a river and to some spectacular views. A small boat launch was perfect for canoes or kayaks and is a popular area for fishing in this region. 

    This site allows up to 7 days at a time, as do many DNR Managed Lands. You can stay here with a Discover Pass but must display it on your front dash at all times. Camping items must be attended to at least once every 24 hours otherwise you will be considered to have abandoned them, so don’t use this as a home base and explore a longer hike without checking in. 

    Because this is a limited service site you will be required to pack in and out all of your trash as there are no pick ups or trash cans. You also cannot collect fire wood from the area and must bring your own. 

    Something I really did appreciate about this location was the overall peace which came from exploring it. Though it was just off the roadway, I heard absolutely no road noise. I also noticed posted signs prohibiting ATVs from the area to keep the peace and quiet. 

    TIPS

    • Bring everything you will need for camping as this is a Primitive Campground and offers no store options. Should you forget something I suggest visiting Forks which is a short distance north along the 101. 

    • Make sure you bring a raincoat. This area is known as a rainforest for a reason, it receives over a hundred inches of rain each year and usually this comes in the form of a constant drizzle. While you might be tempted to bring an umbrella but this can prove to be more cumbersome than helpful. 

    • Download offline maps before coming to this area, especially if you have AT&T, service through this area is very limited and sparse. 

    **Points Of Interest To Check Out: **

    • Ruby Beach- Also known as Driftwood Beach this location is just south of the campground and offers great views of some unique aspects of the Washington coastline. You will most enjoy seeing the many creations people leave on the beach from the washed up logs from the surrounding forest. 

    • Forks- This community is a unique place to visit in the state as it has been a part of the film industry for several projects, most famously known as the area for which they filmed Twilight. In addition to some familiar locations you can find a few interesting places to stop in town which have a lot of historic value. 

    **Product Review: **

    As a Ranger for the Dyrt I am able to check out some amazing gear and provide feedback from my travels and the practicality of usage. For this trip I was able to check out some very useful items from Banner & Oak

    Did you know that you lose the vast majority of your body heat through not covering your head? Studies prove that over half of your body heat is lost through your head when not covered. Reasoning relates to the amount of skin exposed accounting for 7% of your total skin surface area and most of that rarely covered, unlike much of the other portions of your body. 

    A quick way to ensure your body stay warmer during cooler conditions or to keep you feeling cozy on a typically rainy day is to wear a hat. 

    On the day I visited the HOH OxBow Campground it was especially chilly following a night of excessive rains. Though I had several Banner& Oak hats with me, the one I reached for was the Banner& Oak Range Beanie in the Color Olive. 

    The beanie retails for$24, a bit higher than I typically would spend on a beanie, but it was apparent as to why the additional cost once I put it on. Unlike many beanies I have tried over my adventures this one is a bit thicker as it uses a double layered knit. It is resistant to most elements through its construction and quickly became a favorite for cold weather. Despite being a thicker set material I found it to fit snug without being to tight on my head and it allowed me to style it in several ways depending on my need. 

    For the cooler day of hiking through the rainforest, where it later began to rain I wore the hat in a more slouchy offset to the back styling. When I was a little further down the road toward Crater Lake and stumbled upon freezing temperatures and light snow, I was able to place the beanie more firmly on my head and lower on the ears for more coverage and warmth. 

    All in all between the fit, color and options it provided me for warmth I would rate this as one of my go to items when it comes to cool weather travel. The investment in good headwear is important and often times overlooked when it comes to packing for an adventure, but this one proves that it is a necessary point which should be considered on every travel check list. 

    TIPS: 

    • When shopping on Banner & Oak check out the men’s section even if you are a woman. The hats on the site do vary from section to section slightly and in my opinion some of the more fun hats are featured on the men’s listing.
    •  Remember when packing for winter to bring closed back hats and beanies as opposed to snapbacks with open vents this will keep you warmer when you travel during cool weather. 
    • Consider wearing a beanie when you sleep in colder weather, this will keep your body temperature much higher even when in a tent.

    Hole-in-the-wall

    easy access to breathtaking views

    the hike in was nice and easy! we went at high tide which was not recommended, but we hiked closer to the tree line and climbed over a few driftwood logs. the “hole” was full of water so we climbed up and over. steep and muddy, but very doable. we stayed right on the other side of the hole in the wall and saw an amazing sunset. we were lucky with a mostly sunny day.

    Hole-in-the-wall

    An Easy Hike in for Beach Camping Adventure

    Hole in the Wall is a great place for a little bit of beginner backpacking. The hike out to the beach is easy and the ranger stations at ONP make it easy to register and equip yourself with the required bear can.

    The beach gets busy during the summer days, but quiets out at night, and you really can't beat camping next to the sound of the ocean. It's a great place to chill

    You'll definitely want to check the tides at least a day ahead of time - or even two- so you can prepare your drive time and arrival strategy. We were enjoying the beach and waited too long into the day to hike our way through the hole in the wall -- the waves got a bit dicey, and we wound up soaked.

    Hole-in-the-wall

    Best Campsite

    Hole-in-the-Wall was recommended to us by a ranger in Port Angeles and I am so glad we went with their recommendation. It was the best campsite I have ever camped at!

    We parked at Rialto Beach and hiked along the beach until we reached Hole-in-the-Wall. On the way we saw multiple seals swimming near shore and even a whale! The hike was easy and did not take long, just a few miles. We found a campsite steps away from the magnificent rock formations behind piles of driftwood. The view was spectacular!

    During our time there we swam in the waves, explored the tide pools, and hiked around the rock formations. It is definitely a backpacking experience I will not forget and I cannot wait to go back!

    Two spots available near hole in the wall

    even though you can self register, make sure you bring a bear canister because rangers do check! Fires are permitted until around mid August. Also if you want to go through the rock face you need to head in early morning before high tide.

    Awesome beach camping

    Spots fill up fast so best to be early! Amazing sunsets at night, a few really amazing spots nestled on the edge of beach and tree line. Easy beach to hike and play around.

    Hole-in-the-wall

    Totally Magical

    If the weather is good, there is nothing more amazing than camping right on the beach. The stars, the sunset, the sound of the waves all night. It's magic. We found a great spot up toward the trees to pitch the tent.

    Just like a backpacking trip, bring everything you need to eat and drink with careful planning because you have to haul it across the beach. It's not terribly far, but water jugs are heavy!

    Everything needs to fit in your bear can, rangers do come by to check. Used or un open, it needs to fit or you'll have to haul it all back to the car. Ice chests don't cut it. I guess it's more for the racoons and actual bears. We stopped at the Ranger Station in Port Angeles to rent one. The line was so insane that we just bought our own at a local hardware store. Now we don't have to bother in the future.

    There is no shortage of areas to explore. Watch the tide if you are going to pass through Hole in the Wall. Lots of sea stacks, tide pools, and seals out in the water.

    I can't recommend this experience enough.

    South Fork Calawah River

    Beware local idiots

    I've stayed at this spot before and it was quite lovely, local people and loging trucks drive up and down the road, but this last stay here my boyfriend and I were forced to leave due to someone setting off 3 explosives and firing a pistol 6 times on the other side of the river from us (the last explosion was thrown in the river practically at our tent). I don't know if this person even noticed (or cared to notice) the campfire smoke or the blue tarps because the site is quite exposed. Luckily forks is really close and we slept in a motel that night, but its still rude that we had to cut our trip short at all.

    Great River site!

    Easy to miss pull in to the dispersed site with river views and access. Small but intimate tent site with nice fire ring. Logging season was in full swing when we stayed, so lots of trucks hauling off the mountain started early.

    Wonderful camping experience

    We loved our night in the rainforest. The campsite and campground provided us ample opportunity to explore all the ways that plants from small to large thrive in the rainforest. Great access to Rialto beach for the hike out to the hole in the rock at low tide.

    Mora Campground — Olympic National Park

    lovely forest camping

    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.

    Mora Campground — Olympic National Park

    Amazing site

    This site was perfect. The area around is forested and gorgeous. Felt like a magical little spot. Sites were close but felt secluded because of dense forest. It was not busy at all and we got our choice of sites even late in the evening. Paying for site was super easy and it was a very reasonable price! No showers, but bathrooms were heated and very clean with warm water. Would stay here every time I was in the area!

    Mora Campground — Olympic National Park

    Secluded and beautiful

    Although this campground was pretty much full when we arrived, we felt secluded at our site. Reservations are definitely recommended. We arrived without one over a busy Father's Day Weekend, but the helpful camp hosts told us to check at the Mora Ranger Station—a short walk or drive away—to see if there were any cancellations. 

    We lucked out and got a great site with a large table and plenty of room for two tents, though we slept in our van. The trees were so tall and beautiful and separated the sites nicely. Flushing toilets and potable water are always luxury camping items in our book, so that was a huge plus. There's a short walk to a river overlook and Rialto Beach is just a few miles down the road or by trail.

    Beautiful forested campground

    We camped here in September 2017 when the campground was first come first serve, and even after Labor Day it was a busy spot.

    We thought it was one of the prettiest campgrounds. Heavily forested, with mossy trees. We also loved that Rialto beach was just a mile or so down the road. Perfect for sunsets.

    The showers we clean enough, not spotless, but clean.

    Our spots were on the smaller side, Only big enough for one tent really. But there were bigger and better spots than what we got.

    Pet friendly, showers, and now accepting reservations! We will absolutely be back!
