Nice little spot. Free hot showers. $20 for a tent site. Some of the tent sites to choose from were really small or not level but we got lucky with what we thought was the best site (B-10)
Ranger
Came to stay 4 nights and camp with family.
Sites are nicely sized but any rig over 25foot would have trouble getting into.
Absolutely no cell service.
In Site 25 we had enough of an opening to get Starlink to work ok.
In the reserved loops bathrooms are flush toilets and kept clean.
Forest is thick
There is a dump site which says it costs $5.
Potable water throughout.
Scout
The layout of this campground packs sites too close together. It feels more like tailgating in a parking lot than camping. Other than that, this park is pretty great. It's a very short walk to the beach and a stone's throw from Westport. It's even got some decent trails for hiking around a bit. The bathrooms are pretty standard fare for state Park bathrooms, however, the free showers were a great plus.
Scout
James and Jordyn were so helpful and accommodating to any need that arose. The nearness of the trail to the beautiful beach was a huge plus. Super relaxing ...hope to return soon!
Scout
On the positive side, this gives you a place to stay. The negative is that it's so tight you you can share dinner dishes with your neighbors next door and likely won't be able to extend your awning all the way out. Depending on where your assigned spot is and what type of rig is parked next or near you, you will probably have to ask at least one person, probably two to move their vehicles so you have enough room to back into your spot. It is that tight. The spring itself it nice, so bring your swim suits, and the park itself is beautiful and well worth the hassle of staying there.
Traveler
This campground was in the perfect location. There are sites on the Bluffs or in the forest, but either way it's a short walk to the beach. Many sites were pretty small. We had 2 large tents and that was tight, but one large tent would be fine.
Traveler
Was a very nice site, had facilities. Very close to the rainforest. Did not seem to have many spots, we came in a little later and found a spot available to everyone after a certain time.
Traveler
Campgrounds nearby were closed, so had to come here. Price for all sites was $72 after tax in 2024. Has electric and water, limited wifi in campground. Took site 31. Sites were close together but luckily no neighbors for us. Lake is nice, Lake Crescent is much better if you're looking for a pretty lake to swim. Big Sitka spruce nearby. 31 sites total. Some cabins and whatnot available. Expensive camp store exists.
Traveler
Some sort of tree fell so there is tribal involvement I guess? Gatten Creek open but tiny. The campground west of this one was also closed. We ended up paying a ton of money for Rain Forest campground :| Call the lodge or something to find out if it's open yet before you go.
TravelerA friend told us it was first come first served. Learned our lesson, make a reservation Get sites away from the road. It's noisy.
Guide
Nice campground by to the river and close to Olympic
TravelerWe stayed here and enjoyed the location. Easy to hike to the falls, spend time at Lake Crescent or go up the Elwah.
Traveler
I stayed June 16th-19th is was really nice weather and I had a spot overlooking the beach. The campground was clean and the access to the beach was amazing.
Site are a little close but not too bad.
Would go back again.
TravelerCamped here with friends mid-June, beautiful river and forest. Sites right on the riverside. Water was high enough to do some laps on a whitewater kayak. Short, accessible path to waterfall. New, clean bathrooms. Water pump not on. Some mosquitos early/late day.
GuideFound this camping spot on a busy holiday weekend. Hardly anyone here. Good for us! Prices are great. $30 + for full hook. $20 for just parking two vehicles. A campervan and a tent. Camped in B-10, right by cliff area and the ocean. Would stay here again.
TravelerLarge campground with a ton and of unique spots. Tree of life within 150 yard walk from anywhere in the campground. Many sites on bluffs overlooking the pacific. A few water view spots have been permanently closed for risk of collapsing. We got here around 11am on a Friday and the campground filled up very fast not long after that. Get here early!
Traveler
Very close to Rialto beach, low tide is in the morning, perfect distance to get there early. Bathrooms well kept, beautiful sites, some are pull ins and some pull throughs. Also some tent sites as well. Moss covered trees and a beautiful setting. You can purchase firewood at several houses along the drive into the campground. Not many people here, the season is still a few weeks away. Loop C was temporarily closed.
Scout
I've stayed at this spot before and it was quite lovely, local people and loging trucks drive up and down the road, but this last stay here my boyfriend and I were forced to leave due to someone setting off 3 explosives and firing a pistol 6 times on the other side of the river from us (the last explosion was thrown in the river practically at our tent). I don't know if this person even noticed (or cared to notice) the campfire smoke or the blue tarps because the site is quite exposed. Luckily forks is really close and we slept in a motel that night, but its still rude that we had to cut our trip short at all.
ScoutThree separate camping areas. The RV park is tightly packed with full hookups, dump site down the road. Loops A and B are dry sites with restroom buildings and water spigots. The camping loops are quiet, nestled in the woods with good campfire rings and tables. B55 was great for a smaller camper, our Aliner Ranger fit great with the tow vehicle perpendicular. Some of the sites accommodated larger Airstreams, while some just a car with tent areas away from parking. Overall awesome spot.
GuideThis was a great campsite. It really close to forks and la push. Good cell reception. Only big downside is how close it is to the road so you can hear cars driving by
GuideThis campsite is a great established site with lots of space and walking distance from the lovers lane trail head and the sol doc hot springs. Make sure to do both! This site is also near crescent lake, so it’s a great place to stay if trying to do both! Bathrooms were standard. There are showers at the hot springs as well as a little store.
ScoutSmall but beautiful. Nestled in the forest right by the river. Was half full during the week at the start of November. Toilets were in decent condition. No hesitation to stay there again.
GuideCamping right on the ocean it was lovely we watched the sun set it wasn't the cheapest campsite we've been to but it was worth in it had great amenities and tho it wasn't right on the ocean it was only a short walk I would love to stay again in the future
Scout
So many logs md paths around the campsite… our littles thought they had their own private park. Perfect stream nearby for a five and two year old to throw rocks
Legend
Good for a one night stop on your way to somewhere (what we did). Close to Forks and Olympic NP.
Level spots, some small, some large. Some grass some cement. Price changed depending on size site you choose.
One of the smaller state parks I have been too but it had a dump station etc and was quiet as far as neighbors. It is right off the hwy so some hwy noise. We did have cellphone reception and bathrooms were clean. A ranger was around and asked if we needed help with anything.
It's not a KOA, but it does the trick for a one night stop. Even had a hiking trail! A couple miles from a grocery store.
LegendQuiet campground. Unfortunately, it was raining quite a bit when we were there and Rialto Beach was closed due to hazardous conditions. Ocean was wild and apparently log depris can fly around. It was your usual well maintained national park campground. Bathrooms were clean. Spots were level. We did NOT have cell reception.
It was close to Forks so you can check out all the Twilight items in the town if you are a twilight fan. You can also check out the La Push beaches. We went there when Rialto beach was closed. Gotta love Washington State rain!!!
Guide
I stayed here towards the end of the season and it was still pretty packed. Sites are spacious, clean and there are a multitude of various amenities including wifi. Beach is walkable and great to take in some views. The park is located in town and there is a gas station and restaurant.
