Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Port Angeles, WA

If you camp anywhere in the Olympics let Sol Duc be your home base! Right smack in the middle of Olympic National Park we had access to not only the Hurricane ridge area but were close enough to spend a day at Kalaloch on our way home! The soak in the Sol Duc Hot springs were amazing especially after a hike. We saw some great wildlife and wildflowers on this trip. Sol duc is about an hour from Port Angeles. Happy Adventuring! And remember to practice leave no trace ethics.✌❤

This RV Park is located in Sequim Washington. It's not too far from Port Angeles and Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Forest (ONF). We stayed here specifically to access Hurricane Ridge and begin our touring of Olympic National Forest. Sequim is a small town in the rain shadow of the ONF. These folks are expert operators of an RV park. They hit all the important points. They are priced very reasonably, easy to communicate with, very organized, the park is kept in pristine condition. They have  WIFI that actually works very well (even for streaming)!!! No dirt or mud here everything paved and clean. Yes the sites are close together but everything was clean and campers were respectful during our stay. The value for the dollar here is great. The facilities including a full kitchen and dining area available to campers, laundry, etc were all great.

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.

Great spot near Hurricane Ridge..local to Port Angeles for all the amenities. Trails right off the campground. Level spots, restrooms clean, campground quiet. It is FCFS after Sept 20th so we squeezed in here easily and got a couple really nice days before rain began. Also, has trash bins and we had cell service which was nice.

It did not have a dump station, so a bit of a bummer. Dogs not allowed on most of the NP trails. Highly recommend this spot

These campsites were closed indefinitely due to flood damage, but man were they beautiful when open. The entire Washington area is beautiful. Even though the campsites are currently closed there is lodging available in the Port Angeles area. You can also stay inside the park at Lake Crescent. The area is still open for hiking. I definitely recommend making a stop here during your Olympic National Park visit.

Really friendly and helpful hosts, pretty little campground close to Port Angeles, would recommend if your wanting to whale watch with the guys at pugget sound express

I’ve stayed at Rainbow’s End twice. Both times were in their overflow camping area, which are two spots with water and electric only, under some trees which made for comfortable shade. The staff at the park are nice and professional, the facilities are always clean, and there is a large dog park (it has a somewhat short fence, perfect for my small dogs but be careful with bigger animals). Lots of people live at Rainbow’s end full time. It’s very clean and well maintained. You do get some road noise from the US 101, but it’s not too noticeable. If you aren’t taking advantage of water and electric hookups, it could be a little expensive.

Unfortunately, I only got to stay here one night, but I would definitely have liked to stay longer. I arrived pretty late the Friday before Labor Day, and had no problems finding a site. The atmosphere was beautiful, the bathrooms were clean, and it has a great location for seeing the sites of Port Angeles and Hurricane Ridge.

We stayed here for one night on a tour of the Olympic Peninsula. It was a pretty standard site for this area with nice, semi-private tent sites which contain a picnic table and fire pit.

The campground is about a 15-20 minute drive to downtown Port Angeles, which we visited for supplies and a night out.

In the Olympic NP, close to Hurricane Ridge to the south, 15 min to town of Port Ángeles to the north. Camped in loop C. Had a beautiful private site. Old growth forest and hiking trails all around. No hookups, no dump station. Each site has fire ring, picnic table. Each loop has a clean, powered, plumbed bathroom, no showers. Would camp again.

The campground is located close to Olympic National Park access out of Port Angeles, WA. Continuing on the paved road upslope one can gain access to hiking trails (via side roads) or continue to the popular Hurricane Ridge with beautiful wide vistas of the Olympic Mountains. Campground is heavily forested and shaded. Not a good location for larger RVs due to size of parking areas and tight turns to park.

Not the most private spaces, but the other campers were all quiet and relaxing so it was peaceful. You can hear the highway, perhaps it would bother me in a tent but was fine in a trailer. The pedal cars and other amenities are great for kids, you could get some relaxing time while the kids are entertained. Great location for Port Angeles and this area of the Olympic National Park.

This campground is large, forested, and had private sites. We were able to get a site on a Friday by arriving before noon. Note: this is inside the ONP, and you’ll need to pay to enter the national park. The draw for this campground is the proximity to Port Angeles and more importantly Hurricane Ridge. We stayed one night here and got an early start on Hurricane Ridge the following morning. It worked out great for us.

This is one of two campgrounds at Fort Worden, which I find slightly less preferable to the lower (beach) campground. It is a close second though, since it's an easy walk to the beach, and actually offers a nice wooded location. The sites are pretty close together, so you don't get a lot of privacy. There are also lots of trails, and you could walk into lovely town of Port Angeles if you were up for a bit of a walk. This is on the site of an old fort, so there are big parade grounds for walking and picnicking away from your campsite. You need a Discover Pass for day use. These are required at pretty much all county and state campgrounds in Washington State. They cost $30 per year.

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.

This hidden gem, just west of Port Angeles and North of Olympic National Park has the best tidepooling in PNW. You can easily put in Kayaks and SUP. Wide open space for RV campers, but wonderful forested sites for tent and car campers. Emaculate. Two hosts so there is always someone there to help with firewood. Over a dozen walk up sites so it’s a good one if traveling on the fly! Great hikes and waterplay options. And so close to Olympic Natl park.
