    Tent campsites near Seabeck, Washington offer a range of backcountry and established experiences in the Kitsap Peninsula area. Green Mountain provides several tent-specific camping areas with picnic tables and fire pits about 15 minutes from Seabeck. NF-2419 Dispersed Site offers more primitive options for those seeking free tent camping with fewer amenities but greater seclusion in the surrounding Olympic National Forest.

    Campers should bring adequate supplies as amenities vary significantly between sites. Green Mountain campsites include picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets, but no drinking water is available. Sites often feature dirt or compacted gravel surfaces with minimal grading. Dispersed tent camping at NF-2419 requires self-sufficiency, with no toilets or trash facilities. As one camper noted, "It is frequented by others so low privacy unless you camp away from the vehicle path." Many tent sites require a Northwest Forest Pass or other permits, particularly for overnight stays, and seasonal fire bans may restrict campfires during summer months.

    Tent campsites in the Seabeck area provide access to extensive trail networks through dense forest terrain. Green Mountain offers hiking connections with multiple trail access points from the campground. The primitive dispersed sites along forest service roads provide more isolated backcountry tent camping experiences. A recent review described NF-2419 as a "truly magical place" despite occasional vehicle traffic on the forest service road. Most sites are accessible during spring through fall, with winter access sometimes limited by snow or road conditions. Backpackers seeking more remote tent camping can venture farther into the Olympic National Forest for additional primitive sites, though these require proper wilderness camping permits and adherence to strict leave-no-trace principles.

      Falls View Campground

      Quiet forest camping at Falls View — spacious Site 12, a steep river hike, and Highway 101 for a soundtrack

      Falls View Campground is a small, primitive U.S. Forest Service campground in Olympic National Forest, about 3.5 miles south of Quilcene on Highway 101. We spent two quiet nights here and had the place mostly to ourselves. That emptiness is the tradeoff: no potable water (the campground is under redesign), vault toilets only, no hookups, and first-come, first-served sites. If you want flush toilets and a water spigot, this is not it. If you want tall timber, a river below you, and room to breathe, it works. We stayed in Site 12, one of the newer spots. It was spacious, with good privacy from the next site and easy pull-through options for a van. Picnic table, fire ring, and enough gravel pad to park without a scramble. The campground map notes that Sites 1, 2, 3, and 9 are small and limited to car/truck campers; 12 felt like a different category. Payment is cashless. You can occupy a site, then either scan the QR code with the Recreation.gov app or drive about three miles north to the fee machine at Quilcene Ranger Station (295142 US-101). Official rate is $10 per night for a single site, plus $5 for an extra vehicle. Display the receipt on the site post. The Falls View Canyon Trail starts in the campground and drops to the Big Quilcene River. It is not an easy stroll. What goes down must come up, and the climb is steep — switchbacks, stairs in places, and enough grade to make you notice. The payoff is the river: mossy basalt, clear water, and that classic Olympic Peninsula green. There is also a shorter loop to a viewpoint of the waterfall plunging toward the river. Bring water; there is none at the campground. Highway 101 is close enough that you hear traffic. It did not ruin the stay for us, but light sleepers or people hunting total silence should know that going in. Pets must be leashed. Season is roughly May through September. Bottom line: Cheap, quiet, and pretty if you are self-contained and okay with vault toilets and a steep hike. Site 12 was a winner. Pack your own water and expect the highway

      Malaney Creek Farm

      Great Private Camping Getaway

      arrived at the farm and were greeted by the owners. they got on their quads and led us down a private road through a super nice cedar gated entry and showed us our spot. they gave us a quick run down of the place and let us be. our spot was the Trillium site which has a few hundred foot hike from where you park your car and the portable toilet. the site was pretty cool and very secluded. it had a fire ring with some sawn cedar benches, a pile of firewood and a giant old spool for a table. we threw our marmot up and took a closer look. there is a camp box with info, instant coffee, guides to area sight seeing and food along with a log book to write about your stay. there were also some cool led lighting which was great at night. fire ban was on but they put a big candle on the grate of the fire pit so we had something. we kicked around on the trails which look like they are used by horses and motorcycles but not heavily. some interesting plants in the area. they were working on a new trail that is supposed to eventually lead out to the lake but it wasnt complete yet. however it was covered with wood chips and had a hand cut cedar bridge built on it. you gotta see it. sounds like they are constantly evolving the farm looked like a lot of things in the works. definitely will come back for more time here. night time got spooky with coyotes howling in the distance but the morning there were so many birds chirping and singing you couldnt hear yourself think! oh we found a corn hole game in an open area that they have several picnic tables staged at.

      Lena Lake Campground

      Lena Lake campground

      This is a hike-in campground down a 3.5 mile trail. It sees heavy use from locals on the weekend. There was plenty of room during the week when I was there. Lena Lake is quiet and serene and the perfect place to sit on a log and journal. Other people walked around the edge of the lake but care must be taken as it's a bit rugged. Follow the leave no trace principles and this place will be one to return to again for yourself and others.

      Heart O' the Hills Campground — Olympic National Park

      Beautiful clean primitive campgrounds

      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.

      Dosewallips State Park Campground

      Gorgeous location

      This campground is right next to a state park. It’s also very close to a river and lots of woods. We stayed here to see Olympic national park, (I wouldn’t recommend this location to travel to Olympic every day, it was very far.)

      The amenities were nice, bathrooms with warm water (one shower per bathroom.)

      No laundry, no Wi-Fi and both Verizon and AT&T worked with about one bar.

      The sites were level spacious and had a fire ring and picnic table at each. We chose the full hookup option. Firewood could be purchased through the camp host.

      The best part about this day was the surrounding area. Every night, my husband and I would walk to the wildlife viewing platform to see lots of birds, or walk down by the river and see lots of elk and bald eagles.

      Tulalip Casino

      Quiet and clean

      Nice place to have a free spot for the night. Not sure the max number of nights. I forgot to ask. No hook ups and no water available. Clean area and pet exercise area. Security drives by regular.

      Coho Campground

      Great rural campground

      Coho campground is a forested campground overlooking a large alpine lake. Lots of old growth forest, birds and squirrels live in the campground. The sites are large with a paved drive that can accommodate several vehicles and trailers. Large picnic tables and a fire pit on each site with an area for tents. No electric, water or sewer on the site. There are several flush toilets that are well kept. Bathrooms have an electrical outlet if you need to charge something. Faucets with drinking water. No showers. No cell service and starlink doesn’t work due to trees. Nearest gas station and stores about 35 minutes away. There is a boat ramp and a nice lake for kayaking. Several trails around the lake and campground.

      Heart O' the Hills Campground — Olympic National Park

      Ranger Review: Banner & Oak At Heart O’ The Hills Campground

      CLICK HERE For FULL Video Review

      Once entering one of the most iconic areas of Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge, you are are welcomed with open arms to the Heart O’ The Hills Campground, a beautiful primitive camp nestled only a few short miles from the ridge itself. 

      The first taste of Olympic from this direction, the campground is the perfect retreat for a day or even a week for those wanting to explore the many trails and features within a short driving distance of the northern entrance. 

      I had the privilege of visiting this location on my lengthy trip to the Pacific Northwest and as a Ranger For the Dyrt was given the unique opportunity to share not only my experience but also a special product by Banner and Oak which made my adventures within the park even better. 

      **Campground Review: **

      Heart O’ The Hills is a quiet location just south of the Port Angeles area and a few miles within the entrance gate. There are no reservations available for this unique campground so early arrival is suggested on weekends, especially during peak season. 

      I visited on a weekday in late fall and noticed there were numerous spots available to choose from. Empty sites are easily located by visiting the pay kiosk near the main restrooms of camp, here there is a paper slip system of making occupied spaces, very similar to that of the ones they use by the National Seashores. 

      Pricing for this camp is very reasonable at only$20 per night, or for those with the Senior Interagency Pass only $10. Unlike many kiosks which accept only cash you can make payment at this location by check as well which allows you an additional option. However keep in mind there are no credit card payments accepted!! 

      When I explored the camp I noticed two main styles of camping were available, smaller sites which catered to single vehicles and tent campers and larger sites which could easily accommodate larger rigs or double occupancy car groups. While there is a limit of 8 people per site, these larger sites would not feel crowded with 8-12 people in most instances. 

      Sites are equipped with standard amenities of picnic tables and fire rings. Throughout camp there are bear boxes with shared access for many sites. Additionally, I found that while this is considered to be a primitive campground there are water spigots located every few sites for shared usage. There is no electrical hook ups and at the time of my visit the restrooms were closed temporarily, with port-a-pottys instead located at this area. 

      Unfortunately by the closure of the restrooms I was unable to determine if there were electrical outlets or even showers at the this campground which did weigh heavily on my mind when staying here. I really wish I would have known, because those two features could take the stay from a great one to an extraordinary stay.

       Just beyond the C loop of camp the Heart O’ The Hills Forest Trail can be found. The first of many trails you will want to explore at the park, this trail allows you a glimpse at the beautiful forest around you. Though this trail is nor ADA for those able to walk on slightly uneven ground this trail is one you will not want to miss. 

      Taking a walk down this trail it was so peaceful and I easily could have lost track of time just discovering the larger than life mushrooms, the massive ferns and the trickling streams around me, a far different setting than my native Texas home. 

      **TIPS: **

      • Firewood is available at this location only seasonably. Should you arrive at camp and wood not be available you can return to the community of Port Angeles and pick some up for a reasonable price point. 
      • If you are going to be staying in this area and are not prepared for bear country, stop at the visitor’s stop when you come into the park and ask about their bear cans. 
      • In an effort to conserve paper, the park is working toward going paperless when it comes to maps, if you happen to be visiting this area download the online maps to your smart phone before visiting or take a photo when stopping at one of the visitor centers.

      **Product Review: **

      As a Ranger for the Dyrt, I am often given the unique opportunity to try products in the field which might add value to the camping and exploring experience as a whole. I was very fortunate to be able to evaluate some of the many items from the Banner& Oak Company along this adventure. 

      For this adventure I took the Pike solid back panel construction hat for a trip around the campground. I personally love hats and find them to be a travel must for men and women for a variety of reasons. On cool days they allow you to keep your body heat from escaping through your head, which is the area of our bodies which allows the most to escape. On a sunny day, a hat can keep you from getting to much glare or help with sunburn on your sensitive scalp region. A hat is a must for all travel. 

      The Pike is a hat which was named from the infamous Pike’s Peak in Colorado. It’s sturdy construction allows for comfort and coverage while allowing adjustability through a snapback. 

      On a more personal level, I found the hat to have great overall feel to it. The material used was perfect for the slight chill in the air and being able to secure the hat through adjustments came in handy as I moved from the calm of camp to the winds of the Hurricane Ridge. The olive color fit my personal style well, and while they do have other color options in the Pink including charcoal and maroon, the green tone feels very outdoorsy. 

      TIPS: 

      • Do not be afraid to shop both the mens and women’s sections for different designs. When doing so make sure you check the sizing but keep in mind some styles might suit your style more from your not standard shopping section. 
      • Hats are one of the more essential travel items so finding a hat which is comfortable in all situations is important. I suggest solid back panels for cooler months and vented or mesh backs for summer.

    Guide to Seabeck

    Tent camping near Seabeck, Washington provides backcountry experiences in the forested Kitsap Peninsula region, where elevation ranges from sea level to about 1,600 feet at Green Mountain. Summer temperatures typically reach 70-80°F with cooler evenings around 50-60°F. The area receives significant rainfall from October through April, making late spring through early fall the most favorable camping seasons.

    What to do

    Hiking at Lena Lake: The 3.5-mile trail leads to multiple camping options with varying views. "A gorgeous 3.5 mile hike through a forest, plenty of places to rest or to pull over and take pictures. There is camp sites scattered along the lake as well," explains a Lena Lake Campground visitor.

    Star gazing on clear nights: The higher elevation sites offer excellent night sky viewing opportunities when weather permits. A camper at Deer Park Campground shares: "That night it got so dark we were blanketed in stars and it was simply amazing. This campground has no showers or water. They do have pit toilets and firewood for sale."

    Fishing in local waterways: Several camping areas provide access to streams and lakes for fishing opportunities. "Right next to the creek/water which was beautiful with wild salmon that we spent the morning fishing for!" notes one visitor to Dungeness Forks Campground.

    What campers like

    Lakeside camping options: Many tent sites offer water proximity for added recreation options. A camper at Upper Lena Lake states: "It was brootal but way beyond worth the exhaustion. Watch out for bees! Be prepared to climb! Provides bear wire to hang your food at night."

    Wildlife viewing opportunities: The area hosts deer, birds, and other forest creatures that frequently visit campsites. "Got to feed 3 Bluejays by hand with my oldest one of our new favorite memories," shares a visitor at NF-2419 Dispersed Site.

    Diverse terrain experiences: From riverside to mountaintop, campers can choose varied environments. "Nestled in the valley in between two beautiful rivers. Arrived at 1pm on a Friday and just 2 spots left out of about 10," explains a camper at Dungeness Forks Campground.

    What you should know

    Limited facilities at dispersed sites: Most free camping areas lack basic amenities. "NF-2419 is a very busy road at all hours. 2 or 3 cars drive by all day and all through the night. As far as we could find there aren't many spots that are more secluded they are mostly just turn outs," notes one camper.

    Weather variability: Even summer camping can involve unexpected conditions. At Deer Park Campground, one visitor experienced: "The clouds were in and it was raining till we set up camp. The drive was long to get up, but well worth it. We set up camp during a short rain break."

    Restricted access to some sites: Island camping requires boat transportation. "Accessible by boat only. Beautiful park, great hiking!" explains a camper at Blake Island Marine State Park Campground.

    Tips for camping with families

    Choose sites with kid-friendly amenities: Some areas provide better facilities for family camping. "This was my best spot with my girls (8m and 2 yrs) on our adventure. It was clean, quiet, accessible and all of the sites had what was promised. Elk next to our campsite was fun," shares a visitor at Dosewallips Campground.

    Check site availability timing: Popular camping areas fill quickly during peak season. "Arrived here while beginning our trip around the Olympic peninsula. We unfortunately got caught in rain for almost 2 weeks," notes a camper at Dungeness Forks Campground.

    Monitor seasonal trail conditions: Snow can affect hiking trails even in summer months. "We went in mid June and hit snow about 1 mile past Lena Lake. We continued another mile crossing several downed trees and snow patches before deciding to turn back," explains a camper from Upper Lena Lake.

    Tips from RVers

    Road access limitations: Many forest service roads have restrictions for larger vehicles. "Nice clean camping area with easy access to multiple trails and logging roads. Trails are open to hiking horseback riding and motorcycles," notes a visitor to Green Mountain.

    Site size considerations: Most tent camping sites near Seabeck have limited space for vehicles. "The drive to the site was accurately steep with little room on either side. Our 19ft campervan made it up and down but a car did need to pull off to the side for us," explains a Dungeness Forks camper.

    Alternative accommodations: For those seeking easier access camping experiences, look for drive-in options. "We were on our way to upper Lena, and stopped to check out lower as well. Pretty busy, but it is summer! Beautiful place to visit!" shares a Lena Lake visitor.
