NF-27 Tunnel Creek

Forest Road 27 leads to this dispersed camping area through a mix of paved and unpaved surfaces, with the final stretch manageable for larger rigs. The site features a circular drive-in layout that accommodates multiple vehicles, with space for at least three cars according to recent visitors. A fire ring is already established, and campers report reliable Starlink connectivity from the location.

A trail departs from the camping area, though it ends without connecting to longer hiking routes. The site sits within the Olympic National Forest system, providing access to places to camp around Quilcene for those exploring the broader region. Mosquitoes can be active during warmer months, so insect repellent is recommended for extended stays.

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!

NF road

The drive up to this road is half paved and unpaved , not too bumpy. Big area for camp- dry camping. There was already a fire ring made, we opted out of having a fire. There’s a trail that seems to go back but just a dead end. We did have someone pull in, but just a local checking out if the spot was available. lots of mosquitoes around.
