Dungeness Recreation Area

Spectacular views and walking on the beach and the spit. We were able to drive in and reserve a spot on the fly. Free hot showers. RV dump site for a $10 fee, $40 for a site per nite. We were ok with that as we have been paying $12 in the cascades.

Great sites, roomy and clean. Very pretty trails all around. A bluff that looks over to Vancouver Island. Warm showers, flushing toilets, sparkling clean restrooms.

Loved this campground! Had a bit of everything. Shaded spots yet plenty of sun with picnic tables to have lunch with a view..plenty of trails to walk. Clean bathrooms. Had to pay for showers. Had a nice playground for kids.

Super level and spacious spots. I had reception there. Would definitely camp here again. Convenient to Port Angeles.

We stayed for four nights. Very helpful camp hosts. Super clean bathrooms. Showers are coin operated. Nice hikes along the bluff.

We camp here a few times, the last time in August 2021 during a self-supported bike tour around the Olympic Peninsula. The biker/hiker sites are quite nice, isolated from regular campsites but if sharing with other bikers/hikers you won’t get much privacy and may need to share tables or fire pits. If coming from Seattle you may enjoy riding on Olympic Discovery Trail. The campground has nice restroom with hot shower, which was quite appreciated after a long day on the bike.

First night we overnighted with our RV and it was beautiful! Great views at the Bluff. Park ranger was very friendly.

Well-managed campground, very clean, beautiful location with excellent access to the beach and birding and lavender farms and the town of Sequim.

I loved this place. Beautiful spot.

My site was one of the closest to the bluff and in almost full sun (which I liked, because it was chilly). Others as close as my next door neighbor were in full shade with more of a forested feel. The website where you book your sites has excellent photos of each one, so choose according to what you’d prefer. FWIW, unlike the last reviewer, I had no mosquitoes.

In the middle of B loop there’s a great equipped playground next to the bathrooms. Oddly, there were a bunch of older kids there on a field trip who were hanging out the whole day, made for a crowded and awkward experience for campers.

On that note, there is a lot of day use at the campground because of all the scenic overlooks and trails to explore. There is some foot traffic through the campground; secure belongings. The gates are shut at 10 PM sharp, so it’s only campers inside overnight.

Nice little camp ground. Very secluded and quiet. Very helpful staff, but there is lots of mosquitos.

Campground is lovely. I loved falling asleep to the sounds of the Strait and waking up to bird songs of all kinds Looks like most sites are fairly spacious and relatively private. The shared areas are very clean.

We spent two nights here and loved it.  Camp hosts were very nice and so were the rangers.  There were two kids camped out a few sites away that had been fighting with each other.  The ranger was all over it which was nice to see.  Our site was clean and had a great fire pit.  Great trails around here!

Wife and I stayed here in April 2019, during our tour of the Olympic peninsula. We stayed in many places from Sequim to Westport, and had a great time. The Dungeness area was great for bird watching, but I wasn't really a fan of the campground. Nothing wrong with it, just too big and busy for me. 

They do take reservations, I guess it's necessary with 60+ sites, and group camping.  At $26/night for non-Clallam county residents, and a $10 reservation fee, this place is no bargain. One nice thing is they do have running water, which is a rarity in the places I usually go, and coin-operated showers. A nice shower sure does beat the adult bath wipes. Firewood is available here, for $5/bundle of 6 sticks. Looks like one round split in to six pieces. 

For the price, I'd almost recommend staying at a VRBO or AirBNB in the area. 

Pets must be allowed, because there were plenty.

Excellent views and scenic trails with semi-private campsites. It's connected to wildlife refuge where you can take a 5 mile stroll on a spit to a public light house where you can see across to Canada and other parts of the Sound. The campsites do not have electricity, water or sewer but on the other hand are rather inexpensive ($26 a night). There is a dumpsite on the way out of the park convenient for RVers who dry camped.

Kids had a blast. Very clean campground

this is an easy to get to low elevation campground amongst a forest close to the water. I liked the area in that it had an impressive amount of large trees and the water was close. we will stay here again in a low touristy time to walk the 11 mile round trip to the lighthouse but I would only count on this area if you were out of options. the bathrooms were dated but clean and the spots themselves were fairly large. this is a nice family rv spot imo.

Located in walking distance to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge ($3 family admission/day or with National Parks Pass), we found this campground to be just what we were looking for! A family campground with cheap and clean showers (50 cents/2 minutes), great play area, not a bad amount of mosquitoes for location, and quiet unlike many state park campgrounds. No camp store, but a quick drive into town gives you many shopping options. Sites either felt wooded or sunny, so easy to pick a favorite. Worst part is the $10 online reservation fee, but as a family, we'd rather pay to know we have a site.

Campground was located a short walk away from bluffs overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca and British Columbia. Beautiful sunset views! If you want to head out onto Dungeness Spit itself, bring cash for the $3 daily entry fee.

Tent camping

This campground is great for families and people with kids. There are playgrounds near the bathrooms. The bathrooms have showers, and are clean and accessible. You can take a short walk down to the spit to explore the sandy beaches. You are a short drive from the Olympic Game Farm, well worth a visit. Check it out online, the kids will love feeding the buffalo and elk.

Just go for a walk out the spit to get a unique perspective of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This is a USFWS refuge and campground,so if your into seabirds, this is the place to go. Dungeness gets the least amount of rainfall for western Washington, so don't be surprised if it's sunny.
