Cycle Camp

If you're on two wheels powered by legs or motor you won't find a more welcoming and unique environment. I've been here 4 times and from the first visit I knew I'd be back again and again. It has everything a motorcycle or bicycle camper could want. Bob Wishon runs this and you could not meet a kinder human. Stays are by donation and those fund a gathering /party the third weekend of every August. If you're anywhere remotely close on a bike, this IS the place to go.

Bob has created a wonderful and whimsical camp area!
It’s a ‘biker’ camp but Bob is pretty chill and i explained i basically just needed a safe place to vanlife for the night. He showed me around...heated bathroom with shower, outdoor kitchen, group firepit with seating and a roof! Gorgeous campsites nestled in cedar. A kids play area. Colorful artworks abound. Its a serene and happy place. I can’t wait to go back on my bike!

Bob owns and operates this campground on the property surrounding his home. Sadly, his best friend and business parter passed on, but Bob does an awesome and amazing serive to humanity. He is warm, kind, welcoming, and goes out of his way to help any and all people. He is very well loved by the people around him, and his heart glows bright enough to warm everyone nearby. He's an old school hippy and biker with the loving values of an old school biker. If you're on two wheels you won't find a better place to camp. Bring cash, its donation based, just leave how much you feel your stay at his home was worth to you in the box on his front door.

Where do I begin..

I decided on a whim to take a camping trip to the Olympic Peninsula, somewhere I had been dreaming of visiting for some time. I didnt make any plans or reservations, just hit the road with a cooler full of food and my camping gear. I drove up from Olympia to the west side of the Peninsula and figured I would find some dispersed camping somewhere in the National Forest, or pitch a tent on the beach. To my dismay, every designated campground along the coast had been completely booked, and wherever I went seemed to have strict rules about parking or camping anywhere. With only a few pockets of area with cell service and nearing dark I was starting to worry. I began searching for anything on my phone, making calls and nothing. I noticed a "campground" on my map with an odd name: "Cycle Camp-RainForest Run Don't Tell Me What To Do Promotions" I found this quite odd but it piqued my interest, so I called. An incredibly kind man answered the phone and I explained my situation to him. He told me they are really a camp for two wheelers, bikes, but that they dont turn anyone away if they need a place to stay. He said to come on by so I drove the hour from Ruby beach over to the cycle camp.

The camp which is owned by Billy and Bob is meant for those on bike tour, or on they motorcycles when they are traveling through the peninsula, but as stated earlier, they dont turn anyone away in need. I wasnt the only person who was in a vehicle and in a pinch. These bikers are old school with an incredible sense of hospitality and kindness. There have plenty of space where you can choose to pitch a tent.

Billy and Bob were so kind, and welcoming. They have a really unique property that you have to see, and cant really be described. They also dont have a set price for camping there. They leave it up to you to decide what you feel is fair, or how you are financially. They have a kitchen to use, showers, and great company. There is a large communal fire pit where travelers alike can schmooze and share their journeys.

I feel very blessed to have found the cycle camp at the time I did, they helped me out when I really needed it! Hope to see them again.
