Creepy Woods

For this location you need a discovery pass which you can easily get online. We never saw anyone so I suppose you could potentially try without one. This is a gravel road off of the Hoh upper rainforest road that leads to the Olympic national park entrance. It's easy to drive right on by. It's a little book off of that side gravel road. If wet conditions this site may be easy to get stuck in the mud. It was dry when we went. The gravel road is mostly good with a few rough patches but in my Chrysler Pacifica hybrid I was able to avoid. It's very much in the moss covered trees woodsy area and very dark which made it hard to see if any wildlife was near. It's a nice little site close to park entrance just a little too close to wildlife for me.

Secluded spot

Amazing little spot right off 101 we stayed here a few nights it’s right outside of the Hoh Rainforest about 15-20 minutes! There was plenty of space and almost no noise from the highway.

National park landscape without national park prices

Huge pullout maybe 20 minutes outside of the Hoh Rainforest section of Olympic national park.

The national park was busy during the day, but nobody passed by this spot while we were there. Hard to get that kind of solitude so close to a NP.

As previous camper mentioned it’s free once you have a Washington Discover Pass

No At&t or Sprint service

There was a homemade firepit at the site but not entirely sure about legality of having a fire there

Great "Free" campsite just outside of National Park

Great campsite if arriving late to get into the park at the Hoh Rain Forest entrance. There are no amenities and require the Washington State discovery pass to utilize this state land ($10 a day or $35 year). There is plenty of room for larger RVs and travel trailers.
