    There isn't a better place

    If you're on two wheels powered by legs or motor you won't find a more welcoming and unique environment. I've been here 4 times and from the first visit I knew I'd be back again and again. It has everything a motorcycle or bicycle camper could want. Bob Wishon runs this and you could not meet a kinder human. Stays are by donation and those fund a gathering /party the third weekend of every August. If you're anywhere remotely close on a bike, this IS the place to go.

    Forest Service Road 29 Dispersed Camping Loop

    Good for buses and coaches

    We just spent the last three nights across the street from this location. There are a few spots for large RVs at this loop, but if it's full, you can go about 100 yards past this loop and across the street to this location (48.0512793, -124.1110441) and there's a lot of room in a large gravel area that is perfect for buses and coaches. We were about to settle for a muddy spot in this loop but luckily we scouted ahead with the toad and found the area across the street. Not as wooded and pretty as the loop area but plenty of level space still available.

    Twin Harbors State Park Campground

    Meh

    The layout of this campground packs sites too close together. It feels more like tailgating in a parking lot than camping. Other than that, this park is pretty great. It's a very short walk to the beach and a stone's throw from Westport. It's even got some decent trails for hiking around a bit. The bathrooms are pretty standard fare for state Park bathrooms, however, the free showers were a great plus.

    Looks nice but NOT for big RVs

    I usually only stay at the places identified as "Big Rig Friendly" but I gave this location a shot since a review said there were buses that found a spot... we tried it in our 40ft Class A and got pretty jammed up down a narrow road, trying to follow the directions in the comment. Disconnected the toad and ran around trying to find anything that would work but there was nothing for our size. I do not recommend trying if you're in a large Class A.

    NOT SAFE!!!!

    Came for the night and dropped off the camp. Left to go pick up a pizza and came back to a guy parked in front of our camp and locks had been tampered with. The guy said he was there to help load things up. came through several days before to scope it out for the way back through. (Tuesday) each time there’s been other campers.

    Elk Lake — Olympic National Park

    Fine base camp spot, some site flooding

    Camped here for the day hike up to Blue Glacier. The sites are small and somewhat close. Water access easy from streams before and after sites along the trail. Taking your camp gear up to the Glacier Meadows would be significantly more difficult, especially with the ladder.

    After we returned from the glacier, we found that our site had mostly flooded from moderate rain. We looked at the few open spots left and found the same issue. Settled for a partially sloped spot just next to a site. Not a fun thing to do after dark after a long day.

    Hwy 101 - Near South Beach Campground

    Watch where you are.

    The coordinates for this location takes you into a road that is within the National Park. There is “No free camping” in the national park. Across the road you’ll find the South Beach Camping. This is a FCFS open campground provided by NPS. It’s $20/night or $10/night if you have a reciprocal pass.
    There’s toilets and a great ocean view and beach access. If you choose to park down the access road, you could potentially be ticketed. I did choose to stay 1 night at the campground. Pretty crowded by RV’s but was okay for a single night.

    Misty Willows Farm and Camp

    A fun little forest gem

    We stumbled on this after striking out on some First-come-first-serve sites in the area.  Willow was amazing and hospitable as a host.  We chatted and she helped us reserve the spot that she recommended for our group, then she walked (well, she ran and we drove…) down to the site and she talked us through the amenities.  

    They'll provide some water, and each site has its own toilet (privacy tent over a bucket, with wood shavings for 'coverage') and garbage can.  There's also a fire pit, though we were there during the burn ban, so we utilized our own propane fire pit.  They take care of everything, you just camp and relax.  

    We'll definitely keep this one in our mind for future visits up in the area. 

    Of course, I forgot to take any photos because we were enjoying ourselves the whole time.

    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 Campground

    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.

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.

    Traffic Jam

    On the positive side, this gives you a place to stay. The negative is that it's so tight you you can share dinner dishes with your neighbors next door and likely won't be able to extend your awning all the way out. Depending on where your assigned spot is and what type of rig is parked next or near you, you will probably have to ask at least one person, probably two to move their vehicles so you have enough room to back into your spot. It is that tight. The spring itself it nice, so bring your swim suits, and the park itself is beautiful and well worth the hassle of staying there.
