Unattended Chaos

Stopped here on a bicycle tour during Memorial Day weekend, and there were no camp hosts, rangers, or attendants of any kind. Hiker-biker sites do not require advance reservation and are supposed to be reserved for folks who are traveling without cars. Because no one was managing the campground, car campers had taken over the hiker-biker area, and there were cars parked in the driving lanes with people were setting up tents along the foot paths to the bathrooms. It looked like music festival camping.

The campground is just outside Forks, Washington. After passing through the town, a truck full of men who had been drinking in a parking lot followed me out of town most of the way to the campground. Bad vibes all around in this area.

I don't know whether or not this is a nice campground when it is being serviced. It may be, but I had a bad experience here that doesn't give me the confidence to want to return.
