Within minutes there are marinas, three major rivers and clam and oyster beaches. Bring your kayaks, boats and scuba and fishing gear. Take in the annual ShrimpFest in Brinnon and the Quilcene Saturday Market, visit Whiteney Gardens & Nursery (a world reknowned rhododendren nursery) and the Quilcene History Museum.

A very small RV resort but very clean, helpful management on site but closely parked together. Full 50amp hookup. Close to Olympic National Park (Go early).
Guide
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.

This RV park has full-hook up and dry camp sites for SKP members.
The location is a bit remote hence very quiet. I like that it's only about 10-12 minutes to Port Townsend, a bustling everything-you-could-possibly want hip town. Perfect for my tastes and needs. I dry camp which costs $7.50/nt.
Works for me!
LegendWonderful RV park for long term Escapee-ers or members just passing through. We stopped here for a night, arriving on the weekend with no prior reservations or contact with them. They make it easy for you to self register when they're closed on weekends, just go up to the office and take one of their welcome packets.
We stayed in a dry camp site for only $7.50, and paid $5 for the dump (dump is only for members as well). FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available. There are so many activities and amenities here for the long termers (I believe it's a 55+ park), I couldn't even list them all.
Showers and laundry were clean and efficient. There's a dog park and a dog walking path (there are signs everywhere about not letting your dog pee or poo on their nice plants). Cell service was good and they have good wifi as well. This would definitely be a spot we'd stop at again when we're in the area next.

Most of the campsites her won’t accommodate a camper plus tow vehicle length of greater than about 30 feet maximum. For those tent, can or teardrop trailer camping, this is a great, clean place to camp especially because it’s First Come First Served and a ways away from the busier campgrounds to the West In Olympic National Park. No hookups but there’s water and you’re only about 6 miles from downtown Port Angeles. That’s close enough to drive for a coffee if you’re not very diehard of a camper. The sites are mostly shaded, the pull-ins are paved (but short). Hiking trails start right from the campground and Hurricane Ridge is 10 minutes up the mountain. Only complaint was some obnoxiously loud group pulling in at about 11PM and parking overnight in a closed campsite. Picture a couple of banks of bright truck mounted flood lamps and a midnight picnic for a group of starving kids on a Friday night. Of course they left early in the morning before the rangers arrive. But, pretty much could happen anywhere.
Traveler
Well kept RV park. All the hook ups worked fine. Sites are close together. Owner was very helpful. Stayed for 4 nights while exploring Olympic National Park.

The RV park is next to the beach with nice full hookup pull through sites. I would stay here again.

Clean bathrooms, shower had good water pressure. Good sized grassy patches between most sites and some pretty, old trees. Mountain scenery in the background is beautiful. Only complaint is the water pressure for the RV hookup seemed low. There also is very little privacy.

This is a large campground with all the of camping options. They have tent sites, platform tents, cabins and RV hookups. This is located on both the Hood Canal and the Dosewallips river. This provides lots of activities like hiking, fishing, clam digging and exploring. There are several camp sites located on the river. The campground is well maintained year round.

Mike's Beach Resort has a campground located right on HWY 101. The highway is all that separates it from the canal. There are several RV hookup site all with fire pits. There aren't flushing toilets, just an it house. Over all it is a beautiful location. The camp office is just North of it further down hwy 101. The "resort" also has cabins and beach access.
Ranger
Always drove by on our way to other campgrounds but decided to stay over. Day use area is on the Hood Canal and very nice. Campground borders a busy highway and traffic noise is bad. Some nice campsites in a wooded loop along a nice little creek for tenters. Rv hookup sites are close together. Might be better if you were camping with friends next to you.
Traveler
My wife was able to get a spot last minute so we added a day to our trip to head north before heading to the Oregon coast. This place is really worth the drive. The campground was very clean and most sports are private with some looking directly at the beach. There were no rv hookups but we had our generator so it was no problem. The beach is so beautiful with tons of drift wood and amazing views the tree of life will not disappoint you.
Scout
Giving three stars is subjective, but I can't give it a higher rating for RV camping because of how tight the spaces are. The park itself it worthy of 5 stars easily! 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. 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 and if you have a clear path to park. All spaces require backing in and you will often have to ask someone to move their vehicle so you will have enough room to manuever. If you look up Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort on Google Maps and do the Satellite view, you can see the RV campground directly across the river from the pool at the hot springs (they are within easy walking distance to each other). I've also attached two parking lot pictures.
Here are some pros and cons and you can decide for yourself:
Pros: Olympic National Park is absolutely beautiful, and there is so much to see for everyone. There are several hikes that are easy enough for almost everyone (Rain Forrest, Sol Duc Falls, etc.), and several that are just nice by car. Of course there are a lot of options for serious backpackers. The Hot Springs are open (as of May 2021) and you can reserve a time for them every day you are staying in the RV spaces. The park is absolutely beautiful and to see everything requires a lot of driving, so you can use your spot here as a base camp. The Sol Duc Falls are a relatively easy hike and are nearby. No matter what campground you stay at in Olympic National Park, be prepared to drive a lot to see other parts of the park. The hot springs are nice, relaxing, and you can reserve a spot when it is not overly crowded as they have reservation times for RV campers. Also, despite the very crowded campground, most people were very nice and cooperative, and things quite down around 10PM each night. The dump station I mentioned above is also open.
Cons: The RV spacing is very minimal. We have an Escape19 trailer (no pop-outs) and when we extended our awning, there was about two or three feet left before it encroached on the RV space next door. One experienced camper pulled in next to us so that when he extended his pop-out it went half-way over the log separating the two spaces. There are NO RV spaces in any of the nearby campgrounds at Sol Duc, so if you have an RV and want to camp at Sol Duc, this is where you are going to camp. Also, if your electrical outlet is not working, check with the desk at the Hot Springs as they apparently fail sometimes due to the air from the hot springs. They were very prompt at fixing our outlet. The hot springs emit a sulfur odor just like you would experience around an active volcanic area like volcanoes national park in Hawaii.
Bottom line is the park is awesome and if this is the only RV space you can get, or if the hot springs are very important to you, then by all means stay here. I had a difficult time finding any detailed information about the campground on-line so I just want to make this info available so people are not surprised when they arrive.
ScoutThree separate camping areas. The RV park is tightly packed with full hookups, dump site down the road. Loops A and B are dry sites with restroom buildings and water spigots. The camping loops are quiet, nestled in the woods with good campfire rings and tables. B55 was great for a smaller camper, our Aliner Ranger fit great with the tow vehicle perpendicular. Some of the sites accommodated larger Airstreams, while some just a car with tent areas away from parking. Overall awesome spot.

As the tide comes and goes, so does the water fowl. Nice campground, open sites, full hook ups
Legend
We discovered this park by accident almost 30 years ago and I was happy to find that it is still a great place to camp. Close to Port Angeles and the Olympic National Park Visitor Center, it is located on the banks of the Strait of San Juan de Fuca. The sites that have water views are reservable; when we arrived on a Thursday in June, these had all been reserved(although not all were occupied). Many of the non-reservable sites were available. We were not able to get two consecutive nights in a prime spot so we returned a second time! No hookups in the loop but there are three tiers of 39 RV sites that have decent water views. Each of these has an electrical and water hookup and a paved pad but you are stacked up as you would be in a typical RV park. Restrooms are reasonably clean(but no garbage receptacle) and there are showers but there is a fee. If you have a water view site and the weather cooperates, you will enjoy a glorious sunset. There is a playground for children, but the best feature is the tidepools that are accessible at low tide; our girls had a blast exploring these when they were young.
TravelerThe Whiskey Creek Beach NW campground is well off the beaten track along the Strait of Juan de Fuca with views of mountainous Vancouver Island, BC. There are a variety of funky tent and RV sites and even funkier cabins. There are flush toilets, showers, water and electric hook-ups. The uncrowded RV sites come with fire pit and table. The atmosphere is faded, low-budget but the hosts and the scenery make it a pleasant experience. There were a lot of happy young families when we were here. Full hook up RV is $63/night.

Now I’m not one to camp in an RV but I honestly can say if I was going to sissy-camp with an RV it would be at Sequim Bay.
They have a beautiful facility with many public restrooms and showers, RV hookups for both power and water, and easy to park lots. They also offer tent camping lots if that would be a preferred route.
It’s a quick jaunt to the shoreline, either from conventional trails or a bit off the path if that’s what you like (which, obviously, I do!) and has a boat launch and docking space for public access. Fishing and shellfish harvesting is legal while in season and I gotta say the beaches really pulled through as we harvested our own meals for the entire trip!
We decided to go a bit too early for swimming, being only May, but we still managed to get some kids to try our floaters in the Bay. They came back frozen but happy, and the adults were glad for a bit of silence, I’m sure.
overall a great place to have a late Springtime adventure!
Traveler
Nice campground with all the amenities of a hotel. Full hook ups, showers, BBQ’s, games, hot tub, laundry facilities, game room with fireplace and pool table all with a beautiful view of the Hood Canal!
Traveler
Right on the road, hosts were very friendly. Full hook ups at a reasonable price. We stayed on an Labor Day weekend and were super happy to just find a place. Quiet, stores and fuel very close by.
GuideNice 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.
Scout
Mike and the ladies in the office just great people, very helpful and friendly
Small park, a little road noise but nothing that bothered us, will stay here again.
Had full hook up, everything worked as it should.
The store has a good stock of stuff.
Guide
RV sites 1, 2, 4, 9, and 11 will be easier to back in to. The other full hook up sites are 90° approaches. Very nice park for playground and a very nice venue building. A lot of picnic tables in the open and in the shade of trees.
Small rocky beach only accessable when the is not to high.
Amazing view from the beach of the Olympic Mountains.
Water pressure is low, averaging just over 20psi.

We arrived at 2pm on 7/2/24 hoping to find a first come first served spot big enough for our rented RV (30' x 10' x 12'). Much to our surprise, the campground was at least 50% empty!
We passed by two great looking spots (one with RV hookups) before settling on site 7, which is situated right next to the river. It has a great picnic table and the fire ring is well maintained and has very little ash left behind. We have a little trail from our site down to the edge of the river with a rocky beach and what appears to be great fly fishing.
The campground itself is very well maintained, clean, and quiet, and it offers plenty of shade in a beautiful temperate rainforest setting. No trash in sight anywhere. Even though it is close to the 101, the only sound we hear is the river. The loop for sites 1-20 seems to offer a bit more privacy than the other loop. The vault toilets on this loop are clean and aren't even smelly. It seems like this campground doesn't get a lot of use, which doesn't make sense at all. Maybe the vampires scared folks away? 🤭
Highly recommend this spot.

We had a reservation to stay here, which was strategic to get us close to Olympic National Park, which is mostly first come first serve. We were pleasantly surprised that this campground was overlooking an awesome stretch of beach. Very basic campsites, geared more for RV camping ...nothing too special which is the reason for 4 stars, instead of 5. We would stay here again.
