Best Cabin Camping near Port Angeles, WA

Furnished cabin accommodations near Port Angeles provide a comfortable base for exploring Olympic National Park and the surrounding coastal areas. Elwha Dam RV Park offers private cabins with electric hookups and modern amenities, while Log Cabin RV and Campground within Olympic National Park provides a more rustic cabin experience. Both locations include picnic tables and fire rings at each cabin site, with access to shared shower facilities and restrooms. Many cabins feature basic kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, plus heating for the cooler coastal nights. One camper shared, "Facilities were always clean and the staff would regularly make recommendations for activities in the area."

Depending on the location, cabins range from basic wooden structures to more deluxe accommodations with separate bedrooms. Most properties including Crescent Beach & RV Park, John Wayne's Waterfront Resort, and Whiskey Creek Beach NW maintain pet-friendly cabin policies with additional fees. Reservations are essential during summer months when Olympic National Park visitation peaks, particularly for waterfront cabin locations. Some campgrounds like Salish Trails Campground operate year-round, while others such as Log Cabin Resort close seasonally (typically May-September). A recent visitor noted, "We stayed in a secluded site which is perfect for a dog. It's quiet in the park and there's no major highway close by."

Most cabins provide beds with mattresses but expect to bring your own bedding, pillows, and towels unless explicitly stated otherwise. Kitchen setups vary widely—some cabins offer only basic countertops and minifridges while others include stovetops and cookware. On-site camp stores at locations like the Olympic Peninsula-Port Angeles KOA stock essentials, though selection is limited. "They have a nice little general store that offers most things a camper could need," according to one review. Firewood is available for purchase at most cabin locations, and nearby Port Angeles provides full grocery options for extended stays.

    Lakedale Resort

    Glamping!

    We had Nevas Canvas Tent #6. It was amazing! Glamping at its finest! King size bed was super comfy. We had a huge deck overlooking one of the three lakes. Our tent also had a bathroom w/ a toilet and shower, an electrIc heater, a trundle bed/couch, and electrical outlets. They currently have 6 of these Nevas tents, 16 canvas tents (w/o water/restrooms/electricity), 6 huge log cabins, 7 yurts (w small kitchens), 37 or so camping sites, 4 RV sites, and an Airstream you can rent. There is also a traditional lodge (not sure how many rooms, but it looked nice). Canvas tents and lodge come w/ breakfast. We will for sure come back!

    Camano Island State Park Campground

    Group Camp Stay

    We stayed with several families at the group site with a mixture of trailers, tents, and tents on cars. The trailers ranged in size from 22’ to 36’ and we found ample space for each.

    This site has close access to the bathrooms shared with those staying in the cabins. Peekaboo views of the water between the trees.

    The site has several campsites that branch off of the road through the site which is also a trail. It has a central gravel area for a large group or trailers next to a large field area. There is no kitchen shelter, just picnic tables, fire pits, and a grill.

    The site feels very private but you have people passing on the trail/road, which runs through the middle of camp, at regular intervals.

    The park is full of steep hills which can make those with mobility challenges or kids wanting to ride bikes tough. The road to the beach is very steep.

    Bring bug spray as mosquitoes were vicious as well as the yellow jackets.

    Elwha Dam RV Park

    Great place

    There are lots of different options from tent sites to cabin rentals. Owners were very welcoming and accommodating. They have a veggie garden to share, lots of outdoor activity areas and places to explore within walking distance. It’s a great base camp for exploring the peninsula. They do a good job of providing privacy with the smaller RV spaces. WiFi is good, not great but that’s not why we’re there. We will be back!

    Crescent Beach & RV Park

    Perfect

    We had an amazing stay here. The manager helped us back in and helped us get set up—it was our first trip in our new rig. Having the beach literally right there was awesome. More sand dollars than I’ve ever seen on a beach in my life. Nice restrooms and laundry room. This park is heavily used by surfers, so as a result there’s a huge mix of rigs—from Sprinter vans and A-frame pop-ups all the way up to Class A. This location is close enough to Port Angeles that we went food shopping almost each day. Great wine tasting nearby, plus Hurricane Ridge and Dungeness Spit.

    Deception Pass State Park Campground

    Cozy campsites !

    There were SO MANY available campsites when we got there. About mid afternoon. The ranger was super friendly and welcoming! The bathrooms were nice and had showers that require tokens that you can buy with your site at check in. The sites vary in size and shape but most of them are decently private/ spaced apart. The site next to us never got booked, probably because it was small, but it was nice for us because it was only a few bushes away. Sites include a picnic table and fire ring with grill grate . There was a trail to the beach not far from us and it was super nice. Although there are plenty of signs that require dogs to be on leashes most people did not adhere to those rules, so keep an eye out if you're bringing the doggos. Very family friendly, very cozy, very nice stay!

    Camano Island State Park Campground

    Wonderful group site

    Stayed in the group site with my daughter’s American Heritage Girls troop. We had 22 girls and there was plenty of room. This is a huge group site. Has running water, a couple fire pits and a bunch of picnic tables. These are lots of level spots to pitch tents. The flush toilets and shower house are in the parking area for this site so really convenient. We drove down to the beach from the site but I’m pretty sure there is a trail if you wanted to walk. We had a great time!

    Lakedale Resort

    Family oriented campground with a great location

    I reserved a "family campsite" for tent camping with a friend this past week. The campground has a great location and is easily accessible from all that the San Juan Island has to offer. The sites are large and well appointed, ours was in a nice wooded area, had two picnic tables, a nice fire pit with grill and multiple flat spots for our tent. The sites don't offer a ton of privacy and we were surrounded by large groups of families, which was a bit noisy. We arrived at this campground after spending the 3 prior nights in the backcountry, so we were pretty excited to take advantage of the bathhouse and shower facilities. We may have just caught the campground at a bad time, but we were shocked to see how filthy the bathrooms and showers were. The showers were ice cold and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. The price was also rather steep ($66/night for the most basic camp site offered) but understandable considering the lack of availability for campsites during the high season on the island.

    Overall, I would definitely recommend this campground to a family looking for fun activities for the kids while staying on the island. The resort also offers many other types of accommodations that I would be interested to try in the future including cabins, airstream trailers and "glamping" canvas tents!

    Olympic Peninsula-Port Angeles KOA

    Good, affordable KOA. Friendly and clean.

    The folks who work here are as warm as can be. The WiFi is decent but Verizon cell service is great. It's not as wooded as one would like, but, hey this is Port Angeles. You're just a few miles from otherworldly rainforest galore. Super kid friendly with a pool and playground and bike rentals. Good laundry facilities and clean bathrooms. I stayed here a few times to rest up and get work done inbetween jaunts into the forest and it served me well.

    Lake Crescent Lodge — Olympic National Park

    Amazing Getaway

    This place is glamping at its finest. It is located at the top of the Olympic Peninsula on Lake Crescent. There is plenty to do here from fishing, cycling, boating, and hiking.

    They have small cabins and a lodge with an amazing restaurant.  I recommend this to friends who aren't quite the rugged camper but still want to explore the Olympic Mountains.


Guide to Port Angeles

Cabin accommodations around Port Angeles provide convenient access to Olympic National Park's diverse landscapes from sea level to 5,249 feet at Hurricane Ridge. The region receives approximately 25-30 inches of rainfall annually, substantially less than other parts of the Olympic Peninsula, making year-round cabin camping viable with proper preparation for coastal weather changes.

What to do

Kayaking at Lake Crescent: Olympic National Park's Lake Crescent offers crystal clear waters with visibility reaching 20-30 feet deep. "The dock was fun for jumping into the crystal clear water," notes a visitor at Log Cabin RV and Campground, which provides direct lake access for guests.

Beach exploration: The northern Olympic Peninsula coastline features numerous tide pools and driftwood-strewn beaches. "More sand dollars than I've ever seen on a beach in my life," reports a camper who stayed at Crescent Beach & RV Park, which maintains a half-mile private beach for guests.

Military history tours: Fort Worden State Park preserves intact WWII coastal defense structures. "There is so much to explore, I wish I'd had more time there. There are two gun batteries right next to the campground and a trail right out to the beach. You are also close to the Point Wilson Lighthouse," explains a winter visitor.

What campers like

Community amenities: Some cabin providers maintain shared gardens and recreation spaces. At Elwha Dam RV Park, "They offer free produce to the campers from their garden & free movie rentals. They have a veggie garden to share, lots of outdoor activity areas and places to explore within walking distance," according to one camper.

Waterfront access: Direct water access ranks high among cabin campers. "This had to be one of the best campgrounds we found in our two month motorcycle trip... They offer a community garden, so feel free to gather at no cost fresh veggies," notes a visitor at Elwha Dam RV Park.

Nature viewing: Waterfront cabin locations provide wildlife observation opportunities. A visitor at Whiskey Creek Beach NW described their experience as "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."

What you should know

Site variations: Cabin quality varies significantly between providers. A Lake Crescent Lodge visitor mentioned, "We stayed in the Storm King rooms. Everything about it was great...working shower (albeit a bit short, tall people watch out), bathroom with a real door and fan, nice bed and a balcony!"

Reservation policies: Most cabin providers require substantial advance booking during peak season. "We made these reservations 3 months in advance. To correct the mistake I contacted two of the hosts a couple days after making the original reservation," explained one camper discussing cancellation policies.

Weather preparedness: Coastal cabins experience significant temperature fluctuations. At Lyre River State Forest, a camper advised, "You'll need firewood because everything else is driftwood," highlighting the importance of purchasing dry firewood from nearby providers regardless of season.

Tips for camping with families

Educational opportunities: Several cabin locations offer junior ranger programs. At Fort Worden, "Kids of all ages should do the Junior Ranger program which the Gift Shop has the packets," recommends a visitor to Beach Campground.
