    Whether you’re touring the South Sound, or basecamping to explore Olympic National Park, Dosewallips State Park makes an ideal destination for touring the wider area, or just relaxing campside, where you’re likely to have more elk for company than fellow campers. Located on the east side of the Olympic Peninsula, approximately 60 miles north of Olympia, this 1,000-acre park rests at the base of glacier-clad peaks where the waves of Hood Canal lap up onto the rocky shore. Here, you can start your day with a hike through a Northwest rainforest, spend your afternoon clamming on the beach, then go for a tasty, fresh-caught meal in one of the local towns or villages. Just be sure to bring your appetite and sense of adventure. The campground at Dosewallips straddles Highway 101, so you get to choose where you pitch your tent or park your RV: near the Dosewallips River delta on the east side, or in the wide, tree-ringed clearing on the west side. The park offers 75 tent sites and 48 RV and trailer sites with hookups; max length is 40 feet. All campsites are equipped with picnic tables and fire pits, and drinking water, restrooms, and showers are available. There’s also platform tents, cabins, and group sites available. The park has several picnic areas and a kitchen shelter, and ice and firewood are available for purchase. The campground is open year-round, but some services may not be available during the winter months. Seasonal campsite rates range from $12–$50/night. For recreating in and around Dosewallips, the park offers 5 miles of hiking trails, exceptional bird and wildlife watching, and fishing, clamming and crabbing in the river and sound (recreational licence required). The park does not have its own boat launch, but you can launch from Triton Cove State Park, 7 miles south (launch permit required). For exploring the wider peninsula, the nearby towns of Paulsbo, Bainbridge and Port Townsend feature a variety of eclectic shops and galleries, as well as fantastic bistros and fine dining options. At the top of the peninsula, you can take whale watching cruises out of Port Angeles, or drive into Olympic National Park and head up to Hurricane Ridge for stunning views over the Olympic mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Canada’s Vancouver Island.

    Step into U.S. military history at Fort Flagler Historical State Park on the northern tip of Marrowstone Island. Tour and explore a significant coastal defense fort established more than a century ago to guard the entrance to Puget Sound. Built in the late 1890s and manned during World War I, World War II and the Korean War, Fort Flagler now features a military museum and gift shop. The park offers guided tours of the gun emplacements and other facilities during the summer. Or find the batteries on your own and wander through them at leisure. Fort Flagler activities include hiking, boating, kite-flying, beach exploration, saltwater fishing, clam digging and crabbing. Experienced paragliders can bring their wings and ride thermals up to stupendous aerial views. Group camps Hoskins, Richmond and Wilson are available for retreats of up to 250 people, and historic officers' vacation houses can be booked for group gatherings and romantic getaways. Beachfront tent and RV sites boast some of the best views in the region. So gaze out on the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north, the Olympic Peninsula to the west and Whidbey Island to the east, and breathe deep of the ocean air. The group of forts once known as the "Triangle of Fire" (made up of Fort Flagler, Fort Worden and Fort Casey) is a must-see for military, armament and maritime enthusiasts. Fort Flagler's off-the-beaten track location and its wide, manicured former parade lawns make it a winning destination. Fort Flagler Camping has 59 standard sites, 55 full-hookup sites, two primitive sites, one Cascadia Marine Trail (PDF) site, one dump station, two restrooms. Forty-seven standard tent sites and two primitive sites are in the upper camping area. This area is suitable for tents and some sites can accommodate RV's up to 25 feet.

    Close to Seattle but a world away, Camano Island Camping offers a mellow, less bustling, but equally friendly alternative to its busier neighbor, Cama Beach State Park. Forest loop trails provide cool, tranquil hiking, while shoreline strolls offer birding, shell and rock exploration and sweeping views of Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier. Are you happiest in or on the water? Go boating, crabbing, saltwater fishing and sailboarding in Saratoga Passage. Curious about the restored 1930's fishing resort at Cama Beach? Hike the 1-mile trail to check out this neighboring state park. After a fun day exploring the trails or cavorting in the water, you will probably want to kick back in your forested cabin, pitch your tent or get cozy in your RV. There, you can cook up the delicious crab you have caught, or your dinner of choice, and enjoy a bit of sublime R and R before heading back to the world.

    Puget Sound visit

    Good place for families that looks to be kept really clean. The spaces are packed in fairly tight with no dividing barriers of trees. Campsite 10 looks to be the best as it has a little canopy tree and is in the corner without obstruction for a view of the Puget Sound. Water and electric hookup, picnic table, fire pit at each site with additional bathroom with a shower for the grounds. There is a ship playground for the kids and beach volleyball court. It is nestled back through an area of homes that back up to sites 1-8.

    Serene but not nowhere

    This is a beautiful campground with plenty of hiking opportunities and gorgeous views. It’s close to a highway so you can hear the road but not a ton of traffic through the campground. We stayed on the Quarry Pond side which seems a bit smaller and more private. Nice wide open campsites with a power hookup and clean water. Plenty of amenities nearby as well, the 76 gas station on the edge of the campground is full of supplies; food wise and gear wise. Doesn’t feel so isolated and in the middle of nowhere but still plenty out of the city.

    Clean, well organized RV Park for big rigs

    We called early afternoon and asked if they had a space for that night for a fifth wheel with total rig length 53ft. Nice grass around all the campsites, 50 Amp electricity, water and sewer. Picnic table at every site. Lovely location but it can be noisy due to proximity to road and navy jets. Overall a great place I will stay again.

    Heart O' the Hills Campground

    Beautiful campground with onsite Gestapo

    After two lovely nights earlier in the week I returned to the Heart O’the Hills campground for my last night of my trip. I found a site I liked, with Devil’s Club behind it and a cool empty tree stump with Salal around and above it. All was well so I thought. Until a couple came by, German maybe, saying I’m in their spot which they already paid for. It says clearly to leave something in a spot chosen which they didn’t. I didn’t know it’s needed to check the (confusing) registration board to see if a site has been taken. It’s a first come campground with no preregistration. Says on the sign to leave something to indicate a site is taken. Also I hadn’t paid yet as I first find an open site, set up everything and make food before too dark. They wanted me to leave the site. I said I really couldn’t. It would be too difficult physically to pack up and move. (Petite 66 yr old female here) Many sites were still available. They were going to see if I can pay for another site they’d take as I suggested. Instead they went to the onsite femi-Nazi attendant. She came to my site while I was still eating demanding that I leave. I said that it would be too difficult. She then threatened to call law enforcement. Clearly I was a criminal to her the way she aggressively verbally abused and threatened me despite me explaining what happened. I still said it would be too difficult for me to pack up and move. She huffed off to ask the couple if they are okay finding another site. If not I would have packed up and left the campground. She returned saying I can stay still aggressively asking why I hadn’t paid yet. I was waiting for the couple to let me know first!!! She basically yelled at me to go pay now. “RIGHT NOW!!!!”- like an unconscious parent ordering their child to do something. Jeez. What the F is wrong with some people? She needs to be head honcho in a military boot camp. Or a prison warden. I stopped at the visitor center on the way out and got contact info to report her. Totally unwarranted treatment of anyone. Very upsetting to be the target energetically of her inferiority complexes which she compensates by abusing and lording (trying to) over others. 😖

    Do not tent here.

    Tenting areas are 10-15 feet from the road, so very noisy all night long. The road is 35mph, so it’s noisy.

    Otherwise everything was nice. Plenty of amenities - showers, pools, hot tub, mini golf etc. staff were friendly as well.

    Staying in an RV would be okay as they are further away from the road. It’s just unfortunate that the tenting spots (8-10 tents max) is so close to the road. It’s close enough that my tent would rustle with each car moving past.

    I was fortunate enough to get the only flat tent space - all other tent sites are on a gentle lean.

    Summary: nice spot, but don’t rent here. I would give it a 4 star review if I were staying in an RV, but need to put the warning out for others who tent

    Lots of great sites!

    This is a great campground. We rolled in on a Thursday evening, hoping we were there early enough to snag a spot, since it's all first-come, first-served. There were quite a few to pick from and we ended up with a great spot. By Friday night, there was only a few spots left. The good: flush toilets! We heard owls every night. Also, they have astronomy presentations up at Hurricane Ridge, which is cool. The bad: no showers and the bathrooms in A-Loop were closed for renovation. Also, the fire ban sucked.

    Dosewallips State Park

    Well-Kept State Park Campground

    I spent three nights (arrived Monday, departed Thursday) at this lovely campground about an hour from my house.  The grounds are well-maintained with easy access to some hiking trails that are easy to moderate in difficulty. (If I were in better shape without 50+ years of knee problems, I'd rate all the trails as easy.)

    The campsites are a short walk to the Dosewallips River, which is shallow and not very fast this time of year. It's a longer walk to the Hood Canal itself.

    You're not going to have a private, quiet, pristine wilderness experience here. US 101 runs through the park next to the campground, and the logging trucks can be quite loud. There are lots of families -- meaning, kids running around and riding bikes -- and the campsites are close to one another without any privacy. But, highway traffic is pretty much nonexistent in the evening and night and the entire camp was pretty quiet by 9 pm every evening.

    The camp is arranged in a bunch of loops. The first and last sites in each loop are preferable because of all the open space between the site and the road. The last site -- in my case, No. 20 -- is the best with an RV because the trailer will provide privacy from the adjacent campsite and there's a big space to other sites. (See the attached photo.)

    T-Mobile was 2 bars of 4G LTE reception. I have a Pepwave cellular modem in my trailer and had virtually no problem streaming shows.

    Bad Situation Turned Out Terrific!

    We arrived at 10pm with 2 exhausted kids and someone had sniped our site! We went to the Campground Host and not only did they get us into an emergency spot (which was actually better) they gave my kiddos each a little toy. They even checked on us each day to make sure everything was going well in the new site.

    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.

    Get campsite 279 in the Bowman Bay campground, you won't regret it!

    My husband and I visited the Bowman Bay campground to celebrate our second wedding anniversary and it was one of the best camping trips we've had! This campground was lovely, a smaller campground right on the beach with great hiking trails to Lottie Point and Lighthouse Point. If you are going to camp at this campground, get campsite 279! It is by far the best one in this campground! It is not RV accessible however.

    It's a large site that is a bit more elevated than the rest, with a wall of foliage behind it and no immediate neighbor campsites (the nearest on is on the other side of your parking spot, but your parking spot is beside your campsite and not near it.) It's a really lovely campsite.

    Nice and Popular!

    This is the ultimate family campground. Kids and families on bikes everywhere, amphitheater, trails, water, grass fields, the works. The spots along the road are subject to highway noise, it does die down at night, but starts early. (If you live on a busy street, you won’t notice!) There are quieter tent sites in the back, but also what looks like a group camp. Staff was super friendly. Probably need to reserve far in advance, we reserved 3 weeks out and got the last spot. Not everything was open though, still clean-up from winter going on. Online reservation system worked perfectly and was intuitive. Had a few bars of ATT. Did not investigate WiFi. Beautiful park!

    Good Enough

    A nice enough little spot near where we needed to be. Day trip to NE section of Olympic NP was doable. Day trip to Seattle would probably be doable as well. Nice area and small towns with good food and atmosphere. Park is small and sites are very close together. Modern sites are in the open right next to each other. Rustic sites are very shaded but still close together and gets load on weekends when it's full.

    Facilities: Showers and bathrooms were nice, individual rooms for each bathroom and shower, most are code locked to prevent day use people hogging them

    Cell Service: Good enough Verizon and T-mobile to work remotely

    Starlink: While we didn't need to use it, the rustic (non-elec) sites are extremely shaded so no clear view for the dish; some modern sites would maybe work

    Solar: Our site had a SW facing opening so we were able to grab some solar, but most other rustic sites are very shaded with very little to no sun; modern sites are open to the sky but solar is not needed there with an electric site

    Awesome park

    We reserved a space for 1 night the day before. Great communication with Brett, everything went really smooth. The facilities are great and very clean, the park very quiet. There are a lot of big rigs parked there, some of the pm long-term as it seems. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely visit again.

Great location for exploring the north Olympic or prep to catch the ferry to Vancouver Island. Oh, and do not miss pizza night if you are lucky enough to be there for one! Warmest review I've ever given, well deserved.

    It’s super close (like 7 min drive) from one of my favorite coffee shops, Aroma Coffee Co. Try it! You won’t be disappointed!

    Tall Chief’s biggest perk is probably how nice they keep the park. Bathrooms are usually found to be immaculate. The main bathrooms have a great “spa” feeling to their design and make you feel like you are glamping.

    Most sites are pretty big too. We can easily fit our trailer, tow vehicle, and extra vehicle and still have space!

    No sewer connections which can be a bummer, but the nice bathrooms make up for it imo.

    The staff are always super nice and helpful.

    Another thing that can be annoying is trying to find a site with good cell reception due to all the trees. They definitely have a few, but I would say arrive early so you can drive by all the sites while checking to make sure you have good reception if you need it.

    I’m getting 120+ mbs download on AT&T in my site right now, but several sites down from me, it can dwindle down to 5mbs!

    Thousand Trails La Conner

    Going downhill fast

    This is the very first park I took my motorhome to.  After spending a year getting the rig ready, I was finally ready to take it on the road.  I had joined Thousand Trails earlier in the year and set off to see what I knew.  While I had previous RVs before (5th Wheel, Class C's, Travel trailers) this was my trip in a Class A.

    My first visit to the Thousand Trails La Conner site was great.  I was able to find a nice full hook up site at the edge of the park very close to the water.

    A couple more visits to the park in the following months gave a less than great experience but still good.

    Last week turned a corner.  While the staff is still five star level, the park is showing a lot of wear and tear.  I counted more than a dozen closed sites.  Some of these sites had been closed for a long time.  Potholes and ruts in the road made travel unpleasant but the pools of water (and mud) really stood out.

    Granted, I was there in February but these issues were not just seasonal.  Some of the same sites had been closed for the past few visits to the park.  

    I hope they start to pay attention to this park because its location is great.

    Deception Pass State Park

    Great campground a short walk from the beach

    Deception Pass State Park is huge and beautiful, perfect for families and photographers. The campsites are open and surrounded by forests, with clean facilities, fire pits, and picnic tables. The staff is super friendly, and our son loved sitting in their golf cart. The hike to see Deception Pass Bridge is awesome. We visited in the fall, and the weather was cool but nice. It’s a great place to explore and take pictures. We had a lot of fun and recommend it to everyone!

    Nice Site

    Clean sites, as advertised. Sites are dirt, so can get a little muddy in the wet season. Friendly staff - stayed over Thanksgiving, and were able to accommodate our check in, which was nice to find a campground actually open. Verizon and T-Mobile have relatively weak signal. Convenient location to Hoodsport and the National Forest/Park. Tolerable road noise.
