Littleton Horse Camp provides basic camping amenities for equestrians traveling through the Olympic Peninsula. The campground features big-rig friendly sites, picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. Sites accommodate tent and RV camping with ample room for horse trailers. While the campground does not offer dedicated horse corrals, riders can set up portable corrals or use highlines for their horses. The campground connects to surrounding forest trails that wind through the Olympic National Forest, approximately 45 miles west of Sequim near the Pacific coast. Sites remain relatively private with vegetation between camping areas.
Located near Olympic National Park and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, this horse campground serves as a base for day rides on surrounding trails. Riders access wilderness trails directly from the horse campsites without needing to trailer horses to trailheads. Water for horses must be carried in as drinking water is not available at the campground. The terrain surrounding the camp offers varied riding experiences through forested areas. No advance reservations are accepted at this primitive horse camp, making it best for self-sufficient equestrians with their own water and feed storage systems. Riders report modest trail maintenance and relatively quiet camping even during peak summer months. The camp operates seasonally with closures during winter months when access roads may become impassable.
"Well-managed campground, very clean, beautiful location with excellent access to the beach and birding and lavender farms and the town of Sequim."
"Just go for a walk out the spit to get a unique perspective of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This is a USFWS refuge and campground,so if your into seabirds, this is the place to go."
"Every camp site is well maintained, the bathrooms are very clean and you have beautiful views all around you."
"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"

Check Availability"Located on the east side of the Olympic Peninsula, Collins campground is a bit off the beaten path, which was what I was looking for during peak season in August."
"Disclaimer: the road from highway 101 to the campground has SO MANY potholes. Big ones that we had to navigate in our RV but nothing that made it too hard to access the campground."

Check Availability"Driving along Hwy 112 on the Olympic Peninsula can feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere and then this little gem pops up seemingly out of nowhere. "
"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!"

ScoutFree hot showers, large structures, private spots between epic trees, and overlooking a sweet lil surf spot along the strait! what else can you ask for for a cold water season campground in WA.
TravelerMy feline and I were looking for a quiet, off the beaten path sanctuary and found it. We chose spot 14 in the nw corner, hidden and along the northern treeline. The road is gravel and took us a minute to roll in and once there, magnificent. There are amenities for horses to play, trails to ride, and corrals at each of the 15 sites. Although we did not have horses, this place was a wonderful spot to rest our road legs for a couple days.
GuideFirst, the really bad and frankly, stupid: This park locks down at 10pm, and there is no way to get in. They do a crappy job of alerting you too. It's in some small print, but it needs to be big, bold, and front and center when you make the reservation. We traveled 5+ hours and didn't make it in time and had to sleep in the small parking lot outside the gate. Another kind of dumb policy is the showers - The shower is free, but timed to 5 minutes. It's just short enough that you need to turn it on again to finish. Then you can't turn it off. I understand the purpose, but I'm guessing it wastes more water in the end.
Beyond that, it's generally a nice park. There are a lot of great sites with lots of trees for shade and hammocks. We heard owls and eagles, and the views are fantastic. The spit is cool, but no dogs. One last thing - it's on the bluff, not too far from the water. It can still be breeze and chilly in the summer. It's kind of a bummer when you can't have a fire.
GuideWe are locals, so it costs less than non-resident campers, but if you are looking for a camping trip where you can hike, tidepool, relax and enjoy amazing views....go to Salt Creek. It's a one of a kind, beautiful park. Cons: No Alcohol Allowed in the park and be aware of raccoons. It doesn't matter how well you hide your food or storage containers, they will try and get in.
TravelerFantastic area
GuideSpectacular views and walking on the beach and the spit. We were able to drive in and reserve a spot on the fly. Free hot showers. RV dump site for a $10 fee, $40 for a site per nite. We were ok with that as we have been paying $12 in the cascades.
TravelerOne of the best places on Dyrt I’ve ever used. Clean, quiet, nice sites. 1 to 2 bars Verizon signal. I’d use again.
TravelerGreat sites, roomy and clean. Very pretty trails all around. A bluff that looks over to Vancouver Island. Warm showers, flushing toilets, sparkling clean restrooms.
TravelerThe views are great. The sites are very tight, not much room. The cost is $55.00 unless you are a resident.

Beach exploration: The Dungeness Recreation Area provides access to the Dungeness Spit where visitors can walk to a lighthouse.

Tidepooling: At Salt Creek Recreation Area, campers can explore coastal ecosystems. "There are several ways to access a beach and tide pools during low tide!" according to Kier S., who adds that the campground offers "flush toilets and showers!!!"
Privacy between sites: Many equestrian campgrounds near Sequim, Washington offer good separation between camping areas. At Collins Campground, "There is a good amount of space between most campsites. Each one has a fire ring and picnic table," notes Heartworn H.
River access: Several horse camps feature water access. According to Lawrence F., at Collins Campground, "All sites except two have river or stream access. Getting to the water from the remaining sites, one of which is very private and the other very public, is difficult."
Clean facilities: Despite being primitive, many horse campgrounds maintain their facilities well. At Lyre River State Forest campground, visitors appreciate that "bathrooms are kept pretty clean and well stocked," according to Abby K.
Reservation policies: Most horse campgrounds near Sequim operate on a first-come, first-served basis. At Littleton Horse Camp, Spencer J. explains, "The camp is usually for horse people but unoccupied spots are up for grabs after six."

Consider site spacing: For family groups, look for campgrounds with clustered sites. Lawrence F. notes about Collins Campground: "Sites are spacious though they are grouped in such a way that 2-3 sites are open to each other. Would make for a great place for groups with multiple tents."
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Children enjoy animal sightings at regional campgrounds. At Dungeness Recreation Area, campers can "take a short drive from the Olympic Game Farm, well worth a visit. Check it out online, the kids will love feeding the buffalo and elk," suggests Melissa J.
