Best Equestrian Camping near Ocean Shores, WA

We have gone and stayed in many of their sites. Very roomy sites and Richard the care taker is an amazing camp host! He has always made our stay wonderful. Showers and clean bath rooms available plus a small store for your wood and forgotten marshmallow needs... close to the beach and equestrian friendly... this is where we always stay!

Very secluded, deep wood camping. About an hour on unpaved road until you get to the actual camp but the drive is gorgeous! Old growth and new baby trees line the roads and there’s about 10+ little streams along the way. The bugs weren’t too bad with citronella bracelets and candles but bring bug spray if you like. There’s river access and lots of trails to explore. There’s even horse trails and a huge horse stall area for a group site/horse trailer.

We drove past 3 piles of bear scat along the dirt road into the campground, which was fine. Our dog growled into the woods a couple of times while on some nature walk which was a little worrisome but with the right tools, actions and preventative things we were fine.

This Campsite is in the woods and does not have basic amenities. It's a very rustic outdoor experience, Frequented by ATV and motorcycle and mountain biking people. There is a latrine here but no water hookups. There is a large creek running alongside some of the campsites. There are hiking trails close by but be sure to do your homework because there are many trails that allow ATV, horses, bikes, and people on them. Over all this is a great place to go if you want to get away.

You are supposed to have a Washington State Discovery pass to stay here, also they want you to fill out self registration once you arrive, fyi there are no pens onsite to do so.

This was a nice spot to stay the night, clean, nice picnic tables and fire pits, one pit toilet.

Extremely nice rv park. Level gravel parking sites. Good Wifi. Very clean restrooms. Manager was great. One minus though was someone had driven all over the drainfield and destroyed it causing the dump station to be closed.

The Screamin Eagle is a short walk from the ocean beach and has everything you need. The managers were nice and helpful and the bathroom and shower stalls were clean. There was plenty of room for RVs and tent campers. Our only issue was with the electricity grid. Our circuit breaker kept tripping during peak times and interrupted our ability to run the coffee pot.

We came in late and the owner/operator was very helpful and found us the last dry camping site available. The next day we moved into a different site on the property with a great view of the campground. Just a five minute walk from the beach.

Being a new visitor to WA, we wanted to spend our first night in the middle of nowhere and this did it.

A bit of a climb for our truck camper so 4x4 was handy. There were some lower tree branches but easy to (delicately) pull to the side to get by. The road is 1 lane, gravel but nicely maintained. Not many areas to pull over so go slow and prepare to back up if necessary.

It's first come, first serve with no hookups or trash service but there is a bathroom. There's a couple spots for a bigger truck camper like ours and a handful of secluded tent sites you can walk to from the parking area. The tent sites we saw had a fire ring (fire ban in place right now) and a picnic table all nestled in the trees and ferns. There's 1 main place to fish from and several little nooks as well. There's a LOT of old, picturesque trees/ stumps in the lake, hence the name. A gentleman we met said the lake is stocked and our son caught some rainbow trout (approx 8 inches) so we put them back to get bigger for the next person.

There's also paths to enjoy a walk through the trees.

As far as cell service, we had great Verizon signal and there's a cell tower over the top of the trees so that explains that. 🙂

You need a Discovery Pass to camp here but it's either $10 a night at various campgrounds around WA (so I read) or $30 for the annual pass.

Enjoy and please pack it in, pack it out. It was a really nice campsite so let's keep it that way. Thanks!

Snag Lake Campground (360) 577-2025 https://maps.app.goo.gl/VmQbRypN42ciJemCA

Walking to the beach walking for fishing and crabbing and site see

Primitive, private campsites around a beautiful small lake. Only 2 camp sites are drive-in, rest are walk-in only so be prepared to haul in all of your gear.

Lake is great for small floats and rafts, but too dirty for swimming. It’s stocked with trout. We saw many fishermen catch a lot of fish in a short time.

We didn’t know any better and took the hard road up to the campsite which takes about 25 minutes to go the 3 miles after the turn from Hwy 101. Met a local gentleman who told us to take the forest road that goes past the Naselle Youth Camp, which only takes about 15 minutes and is much friendly on our car (see image of our the map for the route).

I like this area but so do the local tweakers too. I should have ignored the tweaker girl who camped in the best site by the lake. She tried to burn down the forest in middle of the night. So I went a second time and found a homeless camp in the only RV spot. Camped there anyway and had cars driving in and leaving all night long. This camp has become creepy, borderline unsafe.

I pulled up and it looked abandoned and unsafe—something from a horror movie. The bathroom literally had trash dumped out in front and the some of the campsites were unkept. It's trek to get back there for such disappointment. Left as soon as I could, ended up sleeping at a rest area.

Beautiful area, but a lot of campers have left trash behind, and there is little to no privacy between camp sites. We backed in our ModBug ATV hauler ok, but any bigger would have been an issue.

Nice little campground. Two drive in sites the rest are walk in. A couple that are a short walk. Great fishing in the lake year round. The road up to campground is pretty rough. Lots of washboard.

MY WIFE AND I MADE A TRIP OUT TO THIS CAMP GROUND IN FEBRUARY AND IT WAS AWESOME. LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN IT OPENS IN APRIL OF 2020. THERE ARE ONLY 6 CAMPSITES NOT 21! VERY SECLUDED AND ROAD IN IS VERY ROUGH AND ALOT OF TREE'S DOWN ACROSS ROAD.

It is tucked away on the western side of the Olympic Mountains,  but easy to drive to.  Old fashioned forest service-type campground,  with lots of vegetation between camp sites for privacy.    No services except a vault toilet and garbage cans,  so bring water!  Excellent base for hiking the West Fork of the Humptulips River trail.     First time we went,  we took a tent.    Next time we took a small trailer.   About an hour and a half from Hoquiam/Aberdeen.

Campground: First off, many sites list 21 open spots. There are actually 11 free designated camping areas. This campground is very secluded and peaceful. Right on the river, tons of near by hiking trails, bathrooms, fire rings, picnic tables and water! The only con to this site is the road in is incredibly bumpy, we actually popped a tire on the way in.

Product: As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get to test products. At Campbell Tree Grove CG, I tested the beyond + bradford g3 fixed blade knife! I'm giving this knife 5 stars! https://beyondclothing.com/products/beyond-x-bradford-g3-fixed-blade-knife

Awesome packaging that included stickers and a few patches. The knife also comes with a pretty nice leather sheath and clip for belt. The blade on the knife is very sharp and cuts incredibly smooth. The look is very sleek and stealthy, my boyfriend and I love it! The best part is that it was crafted in my home town of Renton, WA!

I've legit wanted to camp her for well over a year. I loathe campgrounds but this one was amazing. I'd actually go back. It's deep with NO amenities, except for a vault toilet. It's super quiet and beautiful! The few people who were there were super chill. I was hoping to do some dispersed around the site but there was no possibilities. The road out to it is pretty treacherous also. Not for beginners, we had to help some people who put their car in a ditch by wrecking it.

There were several campsites near the river where you could smell human excrement,see large piles of used toilet paper (specifically 16 being the worst), along with garbage littered around almost every campsite and a ton of broken glass. I don’t believe there was a camp host. Several people came by to let us know there were raccoons raiding campsites. It’s such a bummer because the trail and creek are beautiful. (although plenty of litter). Also lots of random hikers/walkers coming through and walking through the campsites themselves to get to the creek and tossing more garbage onto the creek bed. I didn’t expect it to be so dirty, I would’ve brought more trash bags.

We were looking forward to a quiet and simple night camping in our little rented self-contained camper van on the last day of a 12-day road trip. We arrived at the end of the road to find the campground closed, so we ended up abandoning our final night and driving home. The campground is pretty, the creek is clean, the 16 (?) sites are fairly well maintained and could be really lovely mid-week when not full. DNR would do well to post closure information so that apps like The Dyrt can more easily pick it up.

Campground is okay when its not overly full with people. There is a bunch of awesome trails with beautiful surroundings for every level of hikers and if you can find your way to Porter Falls, you definitely wont be disappointed with the view!
