Best RV Parks & Resorts near Olympic National Forest
RV parks along Olympic National Forest provide full-hookup options in varying sizes and settings. Elwha Dam RV Park near Port Angeles offers electrical, sewer, and water hookups with both 30- and 50-amp service for larger rigs. The Waterfront at Potlatch features 16 waterfront RV sites along Hood Canal with full hookups. "Only 16 RV sites, which I find is a plus. All have views of beautiful Hood Canal. Would have given five stars, if not for the noise from the 101, which is just feet away," noted one camper. Forks 101 RV Park remains open year-round with big-rig friendly spaces and full hookups, while Crescent Beach RV Park provides oceanside camping with fire rings and picnic tables at each site.
Between May and October, most Olympic Peninsula RV parks operate at full capacity, though several remain open year-round. Highway 101 provides primary access to most parks, with several requiring navigation through narrower secondary roads. When arriving at Sol Duc Hot Springs campground, one visitor advised: "Before you drive your rig in here, I highly recommend you drive up the road about 50 yards and park in the dump-station lot, then walk back and scout out where your spot is." Dump stations are available at select locations including Elwha Dam and Crescent Beach RV parks. Cell service varies dramatically across the region, with stronger signals in Port Angeles and more limited connectivity in forested areas. Most parks accommodate pets with designated walking areas, though restrictions apply near beaches and trails.
