14 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks provide accommodations near Union, Washington along Hood Canal and the Olympic Peninsula. Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor offers 102 full-hookup RV sites with 30/50-amp electric connections, water, sewer, and a sanitary dump station on level gravel pads. Little Creek Casino Resort RV Park in Shelton features year-round availability with 50-amp hookups and sewer connections for larger rigs. "We picked a 50 ft site which allowed us to park the RV and still have room for our towed car," noted one camper about Little Creek's layout considerations. Rest-A-While RV Park in Hoodsport provides waterfront sites with full hookups, though spaces can be tight for larger vehicles. The Waterfront at Potlatch accommodates RVs with views of Hood Canal, though highway noise may be noticeable.
Fall through spring seasons typically offer better availability at Hood Canal RV parks, while summer weekends often require reservations weeks in advance. Highway 101 provides the main access route to most facilities, with some parks requiring careful navigation on narrow side roads. Cell service varies throughout the region, with stronger signals near Shelton and Gig Harbor than in more remote locations between Hoodsport and Brinnon. Most parks offer basic amenities including showers, toilets and trash service, though laundry facilities are limited to Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor and a few others. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, visitors should note that several parks have close site spacing - one reviewer mentioned that at Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor "the spaces are very close together, but there are a lot of trees and it's very well kept."
"Great place, peaceful, lots of trees. All types of site- large, small, full hook ups (30&50) to rustic, small tent area. Water pressure challenges on hill, WiFi ok/slow."
"This is definitely a RV resort, but there are 5or 6 tent camping sites under some big trees which provide shade almost all day. Nice bathroom and showers."
from $57 - $104 / night
"Filled with full time residents. The few we met were nice and pleasant. Good for a short stay, since it's not located near a lot to do besides the Olympic National Forest and Lake Cushman."
"No dogs are allowed on the beach. Town is just 2 miles up the road with a full grocery store. Oceanside view is right off a busy 2 lane road so you hear the cars."
"Had full hook up, everything worked as it should. The store has a good stock of stuff."
"This is our first trailer camping trip ever so we wanted to start small and close to home."
from $44 - $49 / night
"Extremely clean showers and toilets. Super friendly staff with on-site staff to help with your issues, super friendly! Close to casino if you are interested."
"Full hookups for the rver. Sites to 70 ft. No firepits is a downside but the upside is the best seafood bar in the area. We live less than an hour away and have stayed here many times."
"Family friendly."
"Mike's Beach Resort has a campground located right on HWY 101. The highway is all that separates it from the canal. There are several RV hookup site all with fire pits."
from $25 - $39 / night
"Rv sites offer full hookups. WiFi is not the best but does work."
"As full time travelers, staying in one campground for more than a few weeks was a scary proposition. We have found the atmosphere and staff here have been great."
"Full hook up and amenities"
"This campground is about 45 minutes south of Quinault Lake in Olympic NP. So it adds a lot of extra time and miles to explore ONP. It is about 20 minutes to the beaches, which was great."
"I got here and found hot shower and full hookups ;) and even fresh cookies 👍🏼"
TravelerNice campground, well maintained and rangers often patrol the campsite loops. Bathrooms are nice but dated, but quite expensive campground. Paying in-person was $49 for an RV spot with utilities, but booking online was $69 for the same site. Can be busy on the weekend.
ScoutThis place is so nice. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked to the check-in desk. Dave and Victoria are so kind. This place is so nice and neat and clean. They have a pool and a hot tub which is a plus and a sauna. It was very nice to be able to chatter with them and joke back-and-forth like they were old friends. You can’t go wrong staying here. The only thing is I hate to tell anyone how nice it is cause then I might not be able to get in.
ScoutFirst off you get what you pay for it's cheap but you're packed like sardines in a gravel lot that looks trashy as hell I didn't go in the restrooms because they don't have stuff there till after 6:00 p.m. so I was terrified by how disgusting they might be on top of it the owner is quite possibly the rudest most inconsiderate and unempathetic human I've ever encountered he gaslit the hell out of me he insulted my intelligence he lied about our conversations that place is so shady there's no checking or check out time written on their forms they will just make up a time that seems appropriate and then if you don't respond and how they like they'll tell you that you have to leave I thought it was just me but after moving to a beautiful Campground I talked to two out of their individuals that told me that they basically told him to F off and they would find somewhere else really horrible business practices and his sister is just as rude as he is trashy place with Shady practices and Shady people running it. Also if you're one that noise bothers you you will hate this because it's right on the highway and you can hear everything from every spot in the park. Especially if you're looking for nightly you can go down the street to the one they recommended and pay $18 less a night for way more beautiful place
ScoutStayed here 2 nights... . sign in and yu can stay for free 3 nights. If yu want electrical and water, it is 20$ . Wifi in the casino. Friendly staff.
GuideStayed Sept 28 to 30th 2026. Nice park, hot showers, clean bathrooms, enjoyed our stay
ScoutIt IS a pretty, private, moderately priced rv park. Too bad -- there is a note announcing their permanent closure 10/31/2026. Enjoy it while you can!
ScoutI wanted to like this campground, but I wouldn’t stay here again for more than maybe one night.
There are signs EVERYWHERE warning about theft, which immediately tells you something about the area. I didn’t have anything stolen, but I was extremely careful about what I left out.
The biggest problem is that you’re basically on your own after hours. There is no campground host, no posted after-hours ranger number, and no non-emergency number at the campground or through the park’s phone system. The staff hours also seem very limited and inconsistent. I arrived around 6:30 PM and nobody was there, and staff didn’t seem to return until around 9–10 AM.
The bathrooms were dirty, out of toilet paper, and the showers were cold. One morning there was a large unleashed dog in the women’s bathroom that growled at me while its owner was showering. I believe she may have been homeless and using the facilities. Again, there was nobody around to contact about it.
Another night, people were extremely loud until almost midnight. Same problem: no host, no ranger and no non-emergency number. Unless something is serious enough for 911, you’re left to deal with it yourself.
There are also a lot of homeless people and visible drug addicts/drug activity around Federal Way. I had been warned about the area before coming here, and I understand why.
The park itself is pretty and might be fine for a quick overnight stay, but for multiple nights, I wouldn’t recommend it. Between the theft warnings, lack of after-hours staff, weird staffing hours, and no way to report non-emergency problems, I never really felt comfortable settling into my campsite.
TravelerI went here with my fiance in September. Went on a Friday and there was only 1 other group. Theres about 16 sites from what I saw. Its free as well but first come first served. Getting to it is pretty easy and straight forward aswell, heads up the road turns to gravel and it can get narrow. Most of the sites are along the creek which was very beautiful. Theres also 2 trails in walking distance aswell. Most sites also have a table, and metal fab firepit. Theres also a few out houses for restrooms.
GuideWe had such a wonderful stay at American Heritage Campground! The campground has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere, and you can really feel the history and care that has gone into the property over the years.
We stayed at site 6 which was right by the playground, laundry, pool (closed for the season), and 2 individual bathrooms. There’s more bathrooms in the main bath house with showers! Our site was also able to use the WiFi since it was close to the front of the campground
A huge part of what made our stay so special was our host, Rita. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Learning that the campground has been in her family for over 40 years makes the experience even more meaningful. You can tell how much pride and love she has for the campground and the people who visit.
If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxing place to stay in Olympia with a personal touch that you just don’t get at the big commercial campgrounds, we highly recommend American Heritage Campground. We’re grateful we got to meet Rita and experience a little piece of her family’s history. We’ll definitely be back!
Edit: we walked around in the morning and found the farm (sheep and chickens), frisbee golf, horse shoes, volleyball and a pavilion. This would be such a fun spot in the summer!

Oyster harvesting on property: At Rest-A-While RV Park in Hoodsport, guests can harvest seafood right on site. "You can dig for clams and oysters by paying cash to the office for your gatherings. No dogs are allowed on the beach," explains Jennifer K. The park offers waterfront access with calm waters.
Explore nearby forests: The Olympic National Forest provides numerous hiking opportunities within a short drive of most Hood Canal RV parks. One Cove RV Park visitor noted, "Nice location for hiking or boating in the Hood Canal area," making it a convenient base for day trips into the wilderness.
Beach access: Many parks offer direct or nearby beach access. At Hoquiam River RV Park, "You can drive your car right up onto the beach, which was awesome," according to Paul B., who appreciated the convenience despite noting this park is "about 20 minutes to the beaches."
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor receives consistent praise for upkeep. "Very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. I've stayed here numerous times over the past few years and this place is consistently amazing," reports Joseph I. Another camper, Jacob P., added, "Nice bathroom and showers. Laundry, dog run, tv room, plus really friendly employees!!!"
Convenience to shopping: Many parks offer proximity to necessary services. "Waterfront is right down the street. Costco, Home Depot, Albertsons and other shopping close by," notes Jacob P. about Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor, which can be important for longer stays.
Pet-friendly amenities: Several parks accommodate pets with special facilities. "They even had a dog wash," mentioned Sunflower E. about Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor. Most parks in the area permit pets with varying restrictions, though beach areas often have specific rules about dogs.
Site spacing varies significantly: Many parks have limited space between sites. At Rest-A-While RV Park, "Grounds are aged, but well maintained. Filled with full time residents," according to Darren N. Consider this when booking if privacy is important.
Road noise can be an issue: Several parks along Highway 101 experience traffic noise. Jennifer K. notes about Rest-A-While, "Oceanside view is right off a busy 2 lane road so you hear the cars."
Seasonal considerations: While summer offers warmer weather, it brings more crowds. Joe C. mentions about Washington Land Yacht Harbor, "Hot in summers and I am sure very cold in winters," highlighting the temperature variations to expect.
Limited child amenities: Several parks lack dedicated children's facilities. Joseph I. notes about Sun Outdoors Gig Harbor: "Pet friendly, but not many attractions for children (no playground, no pool)." Plan to bring your own entertainment if traveling with kids.
Special events: Some campgrounds offer unexpected bonuses. At Cove RV Park, one camper enjoyed "free Saturday night ribs and chicken" which made "a great surprise!" These community gatherings can enhance a family stay.
Grocery options: On-site stores can be convenient for families. Cove RV Park "has a good stock of stuff," according to Adrian H., which can reduce trips to town for forgotten items or last-minute needs.
Site selection matters: When booking at Little Creek Casino Resort RV Park, "Make sure you get a site that is large enough for both the RV and your vehicle as there is no extra parking," advises one reviewer. This practical consideration affects many parks in the area.
Hookup positioning: At some parks, the utility connections require extra equipment. Joe C. cautions that at Washington Land Yacht Harbor, "All connections are in the back so imagine hooking up at a parking lot at the concrete stoppers. Sewer and electric, make sure you got enough tubes and extensions."
Check-in procedures vary: Some parks have specific requirements upon arrival. "Requiring more info on your rigs than any other place I've stayed. Insurance and a member actually does an inspection of rig when you arrive," reports Joe C. about Washington Land Yacht Harbor.
