Camp with the whales

On the western side of Olympic National Park, this campground was right on the top of the dunes/bluffs overlooking the water. It is a long narrow loop with very tight sites right on top of each other and no privacy whatsoever. First warning- there is NO water available here(ironic as you look out at the Pacific Ocean), not even in the bathroom(just flush toilets, no sinks). So bring all that you might need. Second warning- LOTS of RVs that will block your view if you end up on the uphill side of them. Most sites had picnic tables and some had fire rings. Tide charts are posted at the bathrooms, which would be very important if you want to spend any time along the narrow beach below the campground. All that being said, I loved being able to watch the sea otters and gray whales while I ate my dinner.
