Olympic Peninsula Gateway Visitor Center — Port Ludlow

Large level gravel lot behind the Olympic Peninsula Gateway Visitor Center off SR-19 at SR-104 in Port Ludlow. Overnight parking is technically permitted with prior authorization — a sign on-site directs overnighters to call Jefferson Transit at (360) 385-4777 to obtain permission, though arriving after business hours means you may not be able to reach anyone before settling in. Several porta-potties are on-site; expect significant road noise from engine braking trucks and passing traffic throughout the night.
