Campbell Tree Grove Campground

Within Olympic National Forest, Campbell Tree Grove Campground operates as a US Forest Service site that requires commitment from visitors. The approach involves roughly an hour on unpaved forest roads, with multiple creek crossings and potential for seasonal tree debris blocking passage.

This drive-in campground accommodates RVs up to 16 feet and provides basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and designated fire rings. Dense vegetation separates the handful of individual sites, while a group area includes horse facilities for equestrian campers. Merrie S. notes it's an "old fashioned forest service-type campground, with lots of vegetation between camp sites for privacy." The West Fork of the Humptulips River runs nearby, offering water access and serving as a trailhead for hiking routes deeper into the forest.

Campers must pack in their own water since none is available on-site. The remote location means limited cell service and requires self-sufficiency for the duration of stays. Reviews mention bear activity along access roads, making proper food storage essential. The campground operates from late May through September, with seasonal closures during winter months when road conditions become impassable.

Campers regularly cited the secluded, peaceful setting with good privacy and basic amenities like vault toilets and fire rings. The challenging unpaved access road requires careful driving but leads to a quiet, deep woods experience near river and hiking trails.

Gorgeous!!!

Very secluded, deep wood camping. About an hour on unpaved road until you get to the actual camp but the drive is gorgeous! Old growth and new baby trees line the roads and there’s about 10+ little streams along the way. The bugs weren’t too bad with citronella bracelets and candles but bring bug spray if you like. There’s river access and lots of trails to explore. There’s even horse trails and a huge horse stall area for a group site/horse trailer.

We drove past 3 piles of bear scat along the dirt road into the campground, which was fine. Our dog growled into the woods a couple of times while on some nature walk which was a little worrisome but with the right tools, actions and preventative things we were fine.

primitive but great camping

It is tucked away on the western side of the Olympic Mountains,  but easy to drive to.  Old fashioned forest service-type campground,  with lots of vegetation between camp sites for privacy.    No services except a vault toilet and garbage cans,  so bring water!  Excellent base for hiking the West Fork of the Humptulips River trail.     First time we went,  we took a tent.    Next time we took a small trailer.   About an hour and a half from Hoquiam/Aberdeen.

"Bertha's" birthday camping

I've legit wanted to camp her for well over a year. I loathe campgrounds but this one was amazing. I'd actually go back. It's deep with NO amenities, except for a vault toilet. It's super quiet and beautiful! The few people who were there were super chill. I was hoping to do some dispersed around the site but there was no possibilities. The road out to it is pretty treacherous also. Not for beginners, we had to help some people who put their car in a ditch by wrecking it.
