  Sadie Creek Campground

  Easy and beautiful!

  We drove right up. Notice said we needed a discover pass, which we didn’t have, nor did we have enough service to look up what it was. We winged it and and got the pass later in town. $30 for so many sites in WA so worth it. The sites were a bunch of drive ups in a ring with a pit toilet near by. Surrounded by trees and right on the way between Port Ángeles and Cape Flattery. Would do again!

  Ok spot

  It is a decent spot but far from everything. We arrived as the only ones there and decided to leave for another campground as we felt a bit unsafe not having other campers nearby. With other people would probably be a very good option though

  Best Tide Pooling in the Lower 48 States!

  We love this campground so much, I almost hesitate to write this review. Like a number of Washington State Parks, the plug-in sites are in a large field, with very few trees around and kind of look like a lot of other standard RV parks with three or so levels of close parking with lovely views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca between the US and Canada.

  While the view is lovely, this is not where this park shines. Go further, into the primitive camping loops, there you’ll find paradise. The sites are small, and situated under a diverse coastal Washington beach forest. A few of the sites have some good solar opportunities, while others are completely under canopy. Most could only accommodate smaller rigs, but a few could get a mid-sized Class B, vans and smaller trailers aren’t a problem. 

  Aside from reminding us of the kind of campsites we went to as kids, this place just feels like a great place to hang out and let the kids run feral. This park offers one of the most stunning tide pool experiences that these two naturalists have ever seen without getting in a boat. It’s so richly filled with creatures in the intertidal zone, that it has to be seen in order to be believed. Just a short walk from the campground, go armed with good footwear and the curiosity of a child. Trust us, just put it on the list. 

  There’s lots of hiking within the park as well, from the short coastal path, to exploring the WWII ruins, and down to the sandy beach below the bluff on which the campground sits. Nearby Olympic National Park offers many recreational opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast, the hiking is particularly stunning there. 

  Port Angeles is less than 20 minutes away where you can get resupplied, or treat yourself to dinner, or get more information about the National Park. The nearby communities have gas stations, general stores and convenience stores but only a few Mom and Pop diners/ cafes along state route 112.

  Amazing campground on the water

  Campsite 67 at Salt Creek Campground was perfect for our weekend trip. Great views, ample space, and clean facilities. We enjoyed the nearby hikes and tide pools. The site has a fire ring and picnic table. It’s popular, so book ahead. The campground and location were beautiful. The playground in the main campground are is also great for kids. Ideal for our family! We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended!

  Beautiful spot by beach

  Mostly quiet, great views! Lovely spot by beach with cell service and level spots. Easy to get in and out of. Bathrooms were clean, can have you dog. Lots of places to walk and to go down by the beach.

  We had an incident with a very odd human being that we would have liked to skip. Unfortunately it is not the parks fault, but it happened here. Very aggressive when we walked both our dogs past each other. Didn't report as we didn't want trouble with a person that didn't totally have all their marbles....it was an impression we will not forget about this park unfortunately. Everyone else was friendly and waved when they went by.

  Close to Port Angeles.

  Free spot

  It was a nice free spot. We arrived a late afternoon and we were able to find an empty spot. Has toilet. And every camping spot had table and fireplace. You can park next to the table and fireplace.

  FCFS tent camping

  Was able to get a first come first serve tent site. Small and not very private, but it worked for the night. Big plus was the tite pooling you can walk to on the coast

  Very nice place!

  Hello everyone, I recently traveled around Washington and our guide directed us to the Lira River. I took some beautiful photos and one long video. I can upload it to vimeo, but for that I will need to convert it from mts to mp4 format. A friend suggested this site to me, and I was able to convert the video.

  Littleton Horse Camp

  Backup campground

  Like others we ended up here after checking a number of other campsites that were full. The camp is usually for horse people but unoccupied spots are up for grabs after six. We had a walk in spot maybe a minute from the main parking lot. If given a choice, I’d stay somewhere else, but in a pinch this was perfectly fine.

  Coolest Campsite!

  Loved my stay here! I did first come, first serve on a Saturday and there were plenty of spots at 1pm on 6/18. It was pretty chilly and windy, but the views were amazing and the sunsets incredible. I stayed alone and felt comfortable the whole time. Close proximity to neighbors but everyone was lovely. Highly recommend.

  Would camp again

  Beautiful spot. Spots for RVs, car campers, tents you name it. We were able to grab a ff lot on a Friday afternoon in March. Pretty cold out there but beautiful. Water by the park next to the lots were off when we went. I imagine they’ll turn it back on as it gets warmer but there are showers near the entrance.

  Lyre River- State Forest

  Beautiful but Busy

  This is a small campground with 11 sites. Even in the off season, this campground was busy. During the day, people drove in and out presumably to look at the river, and, while we had the campground to ourselves during the day on Saturday, there were several campers Saturday night. There is good surfing in the area so a few of the campers were there for that purpose. Most of the sites are very close together with only a short fence between them and are not very private. If you could reserve a few sites close together, it would be great for a group.

  There is an easy, 1.25-mile (2.5-mile round trip) walk to the beach—trailhead at the entrance to the campground—that is really nice.

  There are 3 water spigots open year round and 2 pit toilets, one of which is open year round. One site (6) has hookups and a cement pad but the hookups were locked for the season when we were there. We were able to get about 1 bar LTE/2 bars 3G with Verizon but cell service overall was limited.

  The river was lovely but we probably won’t return to this one. Just too crowded for us!

  Amazing views

  RV area is pretty crammed together but amazing views, you can see Canada!

  Tent spots are more wooded and also have some great views.

  Only issue is there are lots of cars coming in and out and fast! Kiddo couldn’t ride her bike around because of so many speeding vehicles.

  Family friendly, quiet and clean

  Super family friendly, grounds are very well kept, facilities are clean. Lots of walking paths and beautiful scenery. Dog friendly as well. Great place for rv’s and tents. Does get chilly since you’re right on the bluff.

  Beautiful views and good facilities

  Great views over Straits of Juan De Fuca and Vancouver Island. Clean showers and toilets. Lovely opportunities to walk around the recreation area and onto the nearby beach. Easy to get down to the rocks for exploring tide pools.

  Absolutely beautiful

  It’s so great to find a new campground on the map and then have it far surpass your expectations. And then to arrive on a sunny Friday afternoon and find a great first-come/first serve (FCFS) campsite about 100 yards from a breathtakingly beautiful shoreline. Amazing! This county-run campground sets aside about half of its sites for reservations, and the other half, including dry RV sites, for FCFS. It probably gets harder to find a last-minute site in the peak summer months, but the friendly camp host (Pete) and a few others we talked to made it sound like it’s still possible. We almost missed this opportunity by not looking quite hard enough for the loop with the FCFS sites. In fact, we had gone on to another campground a few miles away and met someone who urged us to come back. We’re so glad we did. To get to the upper loop you have to pass some RV sites that are overlooking the water, but have zero privacy. Then you get to a more woodsy loop where the sites are farther apart. Our site (76) was perfect for our skoolie and support vehicle, but it didn’t really have a tent pad, and neither did the one next to us (77). Some of the sites in this loop back right up to the path that runs along the top of the bluff, which would mean people were walking right next to your site. Not very private. There’s easy access to the rocky beach which is super scenic, although often windy. There are several vault toilets and also full bathrooms with showers (bring quarters - 2 minutes per quarter). The campground is generally quite clean and well maintained. This is one of those campgrounds that you want to keep secret, but also tell everyone you know. So glad to discover it.

  Scenic spot

  This county campground has lots to offer, but it’s main attraction is the incredible location on the Straits of Juan de Fuca, looking toward Vancouver Island. We had a forested spot in the older section which was private with a small water view. The cliff sites are less private but the view—amazing! Clean bathrooms with a coin-operated shower. Nice trail to the sandy beach. We went to sleep each night listening to the waves hitting the rocky shore.

  Great location, but you’re on your own

  The spots are great, and the restrooms are OK, although half of them are closed outside of summer months. Bring your own firewood, as the camp hosts are like Sasquatches; purported to exist, but no one has ever seen them. Gates lock at night, so be prepared.

  Great park for camping and day use

  First off the campground is nice. There are RV sites with hook ups in a more open field type area that have a great view of the water, though are a bit packed in. The non hookup sites on the western end of the campground are more of the campground feel being more tucked back in the trees and offer a bit more privacy. Access with RVs can be tricky though. Larger rigs needs to stick with the hook up sites to be safe. It does get crowded in the warmer months, it’s a popular place for a reason. The hiking trails around the park offer great views, interesting history with the WW2 bunkers and low tide brings out some pretty awesome tide pooling along the tongue. Reservations change during the year so check for the time you are wanting to visit. Cell service can be had, our AT&T worked, just make sure you are good with international roaming with Canada since you will at some point be on a tower there.

  Incredible scenery on the Strait of Juan the Fuca

  This campground is truly amazing!  The park sits on the Strait of Juan de Fuca with expansive views of the water, a rocky headlands, beautiful little coves, a long beach (near Salt Creek) and hiking trails as well.

  We stayed in the more forested section by the water, a loop with several water-front sites with various degrees of tree coverage. Our site #53 had nice opening through the trees and great water views and was right above a lovely little cove. The three sites after 54-55-56 also had very nice views especially at sunrise. 

  The shower house was closed for winter but there was one pit toilet on our loop and more bathrooms and showers on the larger open area where the big RVs stay.  Most sites at this campground have some water view. Just check the map to pick one when you reserve. I would say that even being the end of February the place was pretty busy with perhaps 70% occupancy. I hear is almost impossible to find a site in summer and people reserve many months ahead. Lots more information at http://www.clallam.net/Parks/SaltCreek.html

  Our favorite WA campground

  We live on the nearby Kitsap Peninsula and this campground is our favorite Washington campground. The views are amazing and the crashing waves are the perfect soundtrack. The lower numbered sites tend to have full hookups and are arranged in a terraced field overlooking the Strait. The higher numbered sites have no hookups but are nestled among the trees on Tongue Point, some true gems in there. On top of that there are interesting artillery bunkers to explore and even drive through. We’ll be back again, and again..

  We stayed at site #13 overlooking the straight of Juan de Fuca while the view was great the sites are VERY close together. Sites 50+ are wooden but without shore power or water hook-ups.

  Really nice place

  Have stayed in 2 different sites so far that overlook the water. Very clean and well kept up with showers (warm, not hot) trails, tide pool and beach access. Would come again.
