Best Campgrounds near Sequim, WA

1,694 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.

    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.

    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.

    Shadow Mountain RV Park and Campground

    Don't pick the dispersed camping

    Okay, I'm sure the more expensive paid sites are fine. But the 'dispersed camping' is a joke. 19 dollars and the area they want you to stay in is not just 'next' to the highway. There are basically no trees in the way— it's less dispersed and more 'camping on the shoulder of a highway'.

    They do say it's next to the highway in the listing, but I think they misunderstand what dispersed camping is generally understood to be.

    Did it seem safe? Not really. It was unclear whether the field above the building was an option for dispersed campers, but some people appeared to have given up and had set up there.

    I will give them credit for having laundry facilities and hot showers, though they seem to be intended largely as an additional cost to tack on.

    Overall? Go elsewhere.

    RV@Olympic

    Brand New

    If you want crisp, clean and new this is a park for you. We choose it for access to Hurricane Ridge. 15min to park entrance, 45 to the ridge. The spots are wide and you can park next to your coach. The clubhouse is nice and new. I did not make it to the bathhouse or laundry but I’m sure they are nice. Someone commented about walking dogs but I did not have a problem. There is a big grassy area in a circle of sites. If you have a dog, get one of these. I just walked through several vacant sites to the area. Maybe I shouldn’t have, but I did. Nice place for access to the northern part of Olympic.

    Uneven ground

    The camping spots are quiet but uneven. The park ranger is very friendly.

    Bay View State Park Campground

    Beach with panoramic Bay views

    Lovely beach with panoramic view of the bay, a short hike away. Friendly people. Good facilities. Fire risk high so no wood or charcoal fires.
