Best Campgrounds near La Push, WA

948 Reviews

Camping near La Push, Washington encompasses a mix of coastal and rainforest sites within Olympic National Park and on Quileute tribal lands. The area features established campgrounds like Mora Campground, which provides tent and RV sites with basic amenities, and beach camping opportunities at Second Beach, where permits and bear canisters are required. The Quileute Oceanside Resort offers cabin accommodations and full-hookup RV sites directly on the coast. Nearby Bogachiel State Park serves as a convenient base camp between the beaches and the Hoh Rainforest, with sites along the Bogachiel River. Most campgrounds in the region are within a 30-minute drive of the small town of Forks.

Weather conditions in this coastal region are characterized by significant rainfall throughout the year, with the area receiving some of the highest precipitation in Washington State. According to campers, rain gear is essential even during summer months. Cell service is variable throughout the region, with some campgrounds like Mora reporting no reception while others closer to Forks have better connectivity. Most Olympic National Park campgrounds require wilderness permits for backcountry sites, while developed campgrounds may be first-come, first-served or reservable. The Washington Discover Pass ($30 annually) is required for camping on Washington Department of Natural Resources land, including some sites near the Hoh River.

The camping experience varies significantly between coastal and inland sites. Beach camping at Second Beach requires a one-mile hike and offers expansive views of sea stacks and the Pacific Ocean. As one visitor noted, "Make sure to have your permit and bear canister too in case a ranger is checking." Inland campgrounds like Bogachiel State Park provide shower facilities and can accommodate RVs under 40 feet. Campers should be prepared for wet conditions year-round, with one reviewer advising to "bring a tarp or get a canopy for rainy days." The proximity to both beaches and rainforest makes the area popular for multi-day exploration of Olympic National Park.

    Hoh Oxbow Campground

    Nice and beautiful campground.

    Need discovery pass. But free to camp afterwards. Up to 7 days.

    DNR Dispersed Campsite

    Beautiful but a little precarious

    Currently the path/road down to the beach is a bit tricky to navigate as it has a large stump in the middle with divers on either side as well as large logs off to the side. BUT once you’re on the beach it is gorgeous! You can either get down that path in your car or leave your car in the pull of on the side of the road and walk down to the beach (I did this for fear of getting my car stuck). There is some noise from the road but it is not bad and after about 8pm it almost completely died off as not much traffic came through after that.

    Kalaloch Campground - group — Olympic National Park

    Like a dream and a little slice of Heaven

    Stayed 3 nights in late September. Campsite was close to the beach, but still secluded in the woodier area. Spots were large and private. Though the campground was full I never felt like I was surrounded. Very much the opposite. The beach is flatter than the others along the Olympic coast which made for leisurely strolls without keeping an eye on the incoming tides (think Rialto). The Tree of Life is located on the shore and a short walk from camp. I cannot wait to stay here again. Highly recommend for a night or a few.

    Dispersed Camping NF 2918 — Olympic National Park

    Littleton Horse Camp

    Chill dispersed campsite. Northwest Forest Pass is needed to camp. I couldn´t count exactly how many sites there were, but my best guess would be around 8-10. About half of the sites were walk-in, but we secured a site with our car. The approach was surprisingly easy too! I have the smallest lil hatchback boi, and it made it easily the 5 minutes down the gravel road to reach the camping area. The campsites are also sufficiently removed from the highway that it´s not possible to hear any car noise, which was good. I would stay here again!

    Lyre River Campground

    Rustic Gem

    This tiny creekside campground is beautiful! Enough vegetation to make most of the spots fairly private and each one has its own corraled picnic area with a firing although there are no outdoor flames of any type permitted right now, summer of 25. Definitely NOT big rig friendly. The turnaround has a large tree in the middle and required me to do three small backups with my trailer which is 22‘8“ tongue to tail. (Not to toot my own horn, but I am really good at getting in and out of small spaces.) The grounds are immaculate and the camp Host is more than happy to help you get into your spot! There is centralized freshwater available and vault toilets and a trail that goes down to the Strait Juan de Fuca adjacent to the campground. A Washington state discovery pass is required, but it is well worth the money! There is day use access to the creek but traffic was minimal the week. I was here in early September.

    Dispersed, just off 101

    Good dispersed

    Right off 101 and secluded. Overgrown but good spot to camp for a night or two for free!

    Lyre River- State Forest

    Great Location!

    One of the best places on Dyrt I’ve ever used. Clean, quiet, nice sites. 1 to 2 bars Verizon signal. I’d use again.

    Washington Beach Pulloff

    Gross!

    This is indeed a spot you could pull a rig onto the beach.

    However there is so much trash and toilet paper in this space you probably don’t want to.

    Better options available

    Lyre River Campground

    Worth the drive and with it to get there early to get a spot

    Beautiful, well kept campground. Free with WA Discovery pass. FCFS only and only 11 sites. Dogs allowed on leash. Path with boardwalk in places is very pleasant.
