Best Campgrounds near Sequim, WA

1,707 Reviews

Campers head to Sequim, Washington, for both state park and national park camping options. Sequim Bay State Park Campground sits right on the bay with good hiking trails and has solid bathrooms and showers that work well for families. Heart O' the Hills Campground in Olympic National Park gives you a more basic camping spot under big trees and puts you close to the Hurricane Ridge trails. Late spring and early fall bring the best camping weather to the Sequim area. You'll want to book ahead, particularly if you're camping between June and August when sites fill quickly. Many campgrounds around Sequim can get crowded, so sites might not feel very private. Checking campground availability online before your trip helps avoid disappointment when you arrive.

    Woodlands at Lake Stickney

    BEAUTIFUL LOCATION

    I myself have never parked my RV at the campsite. However, I've been to the public Access area and have to say that it's very peaceful and has a restroom which is nice. I'm a local. I live inside my RV and it has been a major adjustment but having places like this has been extremely helpful.

    Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground — Olympic National Park

    If you have managed expectations it’s okay

    We went into the hot springs, and we paid 20 bucks each. They give an hour and a half time limit. Esthetically the area is amazing, but the design of the outdoors does not capitalize on it. They had a pool, kiddy pool, a 101 pool, and a 104, so nothing seriously hot. The changing area is small, and you will need your own lock, and the showers are sub par, and provide no soap. But low expectations it was fun.

    The Rv area next door has zero space or privacy, but does have electric hook ups. We could not get a reliable starlink connection, but good enough for scrolling. No bathrooms in the vicinity.

    The “resort” is little 1 room cabins. They quoted us 300 per night.

    The area around is absolutely gorgeous! Good hiking nearby, and we saw the salmon run!!!!! About 5 minutes from there.

    Top of the Hill camping

    Top of the hill camping

    This is actually a really secluded, pivate location with a beautiful view! The road is fairly easy to get up to this spot but really just room for one vehicle. I guess the last people used it as the dumb spot when they were leaving because there’s a grill and a TV screen there… we did not stay and camp here, but we did check it out and if we didn’t have a trailer, I would definitely have claimed the spot!

    FR27 Landing

    Great large flat spot for camping. Could easily fit about 5 cars here. About 4 fire rings set up and the road is pretty easy getting here.

    NF-27 Tunnel Creek

    Pull through site

    This is a great spot to stay for a bit if you’re looking to do that OR just stay for a night. It’s like, a big circle that you pull in and out of. There’s a trail from this site that leads to a great tint site as well. Plenty of space if you have a decent sized group. Easily accommodating 3 cars. We have plenty of space with our rig. Star link works great here!

    Big Creek Campground

    I'm an avid camper - this was THE WORST experience ever.

    I'm an avid camper, and the experience I had at this campground with the host was ABSOLUTELY THE WORST ever. We arrived at the campground early to find the best spot as we were planning to take some outdoor wedding photos at the campsite the day after. It was not a busy season, so there were only a couple of sites occupied. We carefully selected a spot, paid for it, and posted the receipt on the site clip. I took a photo of both the envelope and the receipt clipped at the site. 

    After exploring the national park, we arrived at the campground at around 9pm. Most of the campsites were still unoccupied. To our surprise, when we arrived at our reserved spot, there was a group of people who took our campsite! They already put up their tent and a canopy as well. When I checked the pole where I clipped the receipt, it was GONE & REPLACED by someone else's!! When I talked to those people who took our campsite, there were already drunk and were at the verge of becoming hostile. But they did tell us that the host "allowed" them to take the spot. 

    Right then and there, we went to the host and explained the situation, and the host said (1) we never paid and that (2) there was no receipt clipped at the site. When I told him that that wasn't true, he proceeded to tell me that the information I wrote on the clip let him know that we were checking out today. So, for a second, I thought maybe I wrote either the# of nights spent or check-out date incorrectly. But then, I remembered I took pictures of both the envelope and the receipt!! I showed the photos to him, then, of course, he could not lie his way out of this. 

    There was no apology, and he simply proceeded to tell us to sleep at one of the other available campsites. We were super furious because we had NEVER experienced this kind of rudeness, lies, and brazen behavior. As anyone can imagine, we did not want to spend another second there, so we demanded a refund, and "MIRACULOUSLY", the envelope (still glued) with our payment was found in his RV. 

    I'm reporting the host to the US Forest Service.

    Lyre River Campground

    A Little Gem

    I almost hate to tell anyone about this place because I don’t want it to get ruined! There is a camp host on duty and he does a great job keeping things in check! This charming location right on the Lyre River, is part of the Washington state Department of natural resources so you will need a state Discover pass to use this free facility. The host does check for passes. This location is NOT big rig friendly. The state recreation sign on the road does limit lengths to 20 feet and I had a hard time making the turn around at the end of the loop with my 22 foot trailer. The sites are cozy and fairly close together, but there is plenty of natural barriers with all of the trees and shrubs. Don’t expect to get much solar as this is a beautiful dense, Pacific Northwest location. sites have firings, though there is a fire restriction currently in effect and picnic tables. Most of the sites are right at the rivers edge, though there’s no easy access except for two or three spots. There was a beautiful world wooden trail that will take you right down to the Strait of Juan de Fuca a little over a mile each direction. Vault toilets, trash and water are available. There is no firewood, dump station, etc., available.
