Best RV Parks & Resorts near Olympic National Park

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Olympic National Park offers several established RV parks with full hookups across the peninsula. Elwha Dam RV Park near Port Angeles provides water, sewer, and electric hookups including 50-amp service for larger motorhomes. Shadow Mountain RV Park and Campground features 75 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp connections, accommodating big rig vehicles through drive-in access. Crescent Beach & RV Park offers beachfront camping with full hookups and convenient access to coastal activities. Most parks have gravel or dirt parking pads which may require leveling equipment. Site spacing varies considerably between locations, with Sol Duc's RV area particularly noted for tight quarters. "The RV lot is really crowded. You do have a picnic table and fire-ring, but the next one is 15 feet away. At times it can feel like you are at an RV rally being held in a Wal-Mart parking lot."

Advance reservations are strongly recommended during peak summer months as most parks fill quickly, especially those near popular attractions like Sol Duc Hot Springs. Several RV parks around Olympic operate seasonally, with some closing between late October and April. Dump stations are available at most established facilities including Forks 101 RV Park and Point Hudson Marina & RV Park, though occasional maintenance issues may affect availability. Cell service varies dramatically throughout the peninsula, with minimal coverage in forested areas and mountain valleys. Most RV parks allow pets but may have specific restrictions or designated areas. Several visitors note challenging parking situations at popular destinations like Hurricane Ridge and Hoh Rainforest, where RVs may need to wait for parking or navigate tight turns. Propane refill options are limited, requiring planning ahead when traveling with larger motorhomes requiring extended stays.

    Hoh Rain Forest - Olympic National Park

    Just gorgeous!

    We absolutely loved our stay here (9/5-9/7)! We arrived on a weekday and the campground was fairly empty, so we were able to grab a great spot in the A loop with easy access to the restrooms and the trails to the visitor center. The campground is first come, first serve, dry camping, and the dump station was out of service while we were there.

    There are both back-in and pull- through sites with concrete pads, fire rings, and picnic tables. Some tight turns and low-hanging trees but our 32’ fifth wheel managed just fine. Plenty of wildlife, including deer, rabbits, birds, squirrels, and numerous banana slugs.

    The visitor is an easy walk from the campground. The hiking trails were simply gorgeous and we definitely did not stay long enough to thoroughly enjoy this area of Olympic National Park.

    Nearby Forks, WA is a 45 minute drive from the campground.

    Two bars of Verizon LTE but it varied throughout the park.

    A note about the drive in: We are very glad we arrived on a weekday! The road into this campground is narrow, and there were times we were driving over the centerline to keep our rig on the road. There is no shoulder for most of the drive and we did not want to meet any oncoming traffic with a rig as long as ours. It’s doable but take it slow!

    Olympic Peninsula-Port Angeles KOA

    Peaceful, friendly, comfortable

    We stayed 3 nights in a quiet site that backed to a farm field with cows. Nice and spacious sites, really a nice family-friendly and dog-friendly campground with nice scattered tree cover and landscaping. I could tell families come back to this one for getaways. Laundry and camp store with nice supplies. Great friendly staff. Would for sure stay here again en route to Olympic National Park.

    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.

    Potlatch State Park Campground

    Nice Little Spot!

    Nice little camping spot close to Hoodsport and hiking at Olympic National Park. I stayed in a spot with full hookups and have a 22’ travel trailer. The spots are a bit close together and a bit difficult backing in to, but the spots themselves are clean and the park is great! The park is close to the road, but the noise from cars wasn’t too terrible. Cellphone service through Verizon was good and the trailer’s antennae picked up about 25 TV channels.

    Dosewallips State Park Campground

    Gorgeous location

    This campground is right next to a state park. It’s also very close to a river and lots of woods. We stayed here to see Olympic national park, (I wouldn’t recommend this location to travel to Olympic every day, it was very far.)

    The amenities were nice, bathrooms with warm water (one shower per bathroom.)

    No laundry, no Wi-Fi and both Verizon and AT&T worked with about one bar.

    The sites were level spacious and had a fire ring and picnic table at each. We chose the full hookup option. Firewood could be purchased through the camp host.

    The best part about this day was the surrounding area. Every night, my husband and I would walk to the wildlife viewing platform to see lots of birds, or walk down by the river and see lots of elk and bald eagles.

    Fairholme Campground — Olympic National Park

    Summer Weekend: The Walmart Parking Lot was Less Crowded with Campers

    Fairholm is a picturesque campground on the edge of Lake Crescent in a very easily accessible part of Olympic National Park for weekend getaways from Seattle and local adventures in from Port Angeles. Because the lake is pretty and easy to get to, this camp ground is POPULAR.

    There are 3 loops + walk in lakeside side, but the actual size of the camp ground is small. Sites are very small and right next to one another. There is no privacy and no feeling of being out in the woods. The convenience here during the crowded month is simply proximity to Lake Crescent.

    All sites here are first come, but there is not an in/out or campground host system for any of the ONP campgrounds like I've experienced in other national parks. The only way to know if a site is opening is to drive around in circles and/or to simultaneously check the reservation board to see if anyone was leaving. It's a bit of a free for all and not a very relaxing 'in the woods experience'

    Sites are all equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, and there are large bathrooms, running water, and even a camp store nearby. Fires were allowed in fire rings even though there is a summer burn ban in the park.

    I'd probably give this campground a much higher score (like all the other reviews) if it during any other time of the year when it wasn't absolutely crazy.

    If you arrive there during a busy time, an alternative is Littleton Horse Camp, an unmarked National Forest campground 4.4 miles just past Fairholm, turn right on the fireroad. This is where we moved to.

    Elwha Campground - CLOSED — Olympic National Park

    Twighlight Adventure in PNW

    Poised on the precipice of the worlds biggest dam removal project, this incredible campground is a front row seat to nature’s pushback. Nestled in the Olympic National Park and surrounded by towering forest this has to be one our favorite parks to date. Dog Friendly, people friendly, and neat as a pin. Very professional and accommodating staff. All manner of sites from tent camping to pull throughs for 45 ft juggernauts.

    Olympic Peninsula-Port Angeles KOA

    One of the better KOA's I've seen

    We usually travel with a pop-up camper and tend to prefer USFS campgrounds or dispersed camping. But we are currently travelling in a rented 30' RV during a holiday week, so we decided to give this KOA a try.

    I was pleasantly surprised! We stayed in site 130 for 2 nights, and it was quiet and peaceful, despite the proximity to hwy 101. We arrived late at night and had no problem getting checked in and finding our assigned spot. We opted for a site with electric and water hookups. It had a picnic table and a fire ring, but we didn't get a chance to use them because we were constantly on the go. Our site was $63.99/night.

    They have Wifi, which was a nice feature that we weren't expecting. There is a picnic pavilion, horseshoes, tetherball, a swimming pool, a playground, a game room, and these really cool looking big wheel things that you can rent for $5/30 minutes. There is also a nice little general store that offers most things a camper could need. The folks who work there are very friendly and helpful. They offer free showers and a sink with hot water for washing dishes also. There is a large laundry room, but we didn't use it. We refilled on water and propane and we used their dump station before we left.

    Overall, this KOA was clean and quiet and offered many amenities. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for "camping" with all the luxuries of home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which RV campgrounds are available within Olympic National Park?

Olympic National Park offers several campgrounds that accommodate RVs. Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground is open seasonally (March to October) with designated RV sites along the Sol Duc River. Fairholme Campground sits on the edge of Lake Crescent with RV-friendly sites, though it's popular and fills quickly. The Hoh Rain Forest Campground provides first-come, first-served dry camping for RVs. Other options include Kalaloch Campground near the coast and Ozette Campground. Most park campgrounds offer basic amenities without hookups, so be prepared for dry camping. For full hookups, consider private RV parks near park entrances in Port Angeles, Forks, or Hoodsport.

What amenities are available at Olympic National Forest RV campgrounds?

RV campgrounds near Olympic National Forest offer varying amenities. Olympic Peninsula-Port Angeles KOA provides full hookups, spacious sites, laundry facilities, a camp store, and family-friendly amenities in a quiet setting with scattered tree cover. Potlatch State Park Campground offers full hookup sites near Hoodsport, though spots can be close together and challenging to back into. Most Forest Service campgrounds provide basic amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and potable water during peak season. Private options like Gilgal Oasis RV Park offer full 50-amp hookups with clean facilities. For more extensive amenities, look to private RV parks near park entrances, which typically provide showers, dump stations, and sometimes WiFi or cable TV.

What are the size restrictions for RVs in Olympic National Park campgrounds?

Size restrictions vary across Olympic National Park campgrounds. Whiskey Creek Beach NW accommodates larger RVs but has a more rustic setting with less uniform spacing than typical RV resorts. Dosewallips State Park Campground can handle various RV sizes with its full hookup sites. Most in-park campgrounds have site length limitations between 21-35 feet, though this varies by location. Sol Duc campground's RV sites are notoriously tight, with spaces approximately 15 feet apart. When considering private options, Elwha Dam RV Park and Forks 101 RV Park are big-rig friendly. Always check specific campground information before arriving, as many Olympic Peninsula roads and campgrounds were not designed with modern large RVs in mind.

When is the best season for RV camping in Olympic National Park?

The prime season for RV camping in Olympic National Park is late spring through early fall (May to September), when most campgrounds are fully operational and weather conditions are favorable. Hoh Rain Forest Campground is particularly enjoyable in September when crowds thin but weather remains pleasant. Salish Trails Campground and other private RV parks provide reliable options during shoulder seasons. Summer brings the most consistent weather but also the heaviest crowds—campgrounds like Fairholme fill rapidly during this peak period. Winter camping is possible at lower elevations, but many park roads and campgrounds close seasonally. Spring and fall offer fewer crowds and moderate weather, though prepare for rain. Most park campgrounds operate seasonally, with Sol Duc open March through October and others on similar schedules.
