Nestled among moss-covered trees, this campsite offers a tranquil escape with the soothing sounds of a nearby river. Visitors appreciate the well-maintained sites and commend the responsive host, Alan, for ensuring a pleasant stay. While some mention the closeness of individual sites and proximity to a road, the overall experience remains peaceful and private. The lush surroundings and convenient amenities, like a clean porta potty, make it a favorite spot for many campers.

I love this site. It's peaceful and beautiful, and tucked away in the trees. It's my second time camping there, and I most certainly hope to visit again. It's well maintained, easy to access, private from the road and neighbors, and you get to fall asleep listening to the river. What more could you want? Also, the host, Alan, is fabulous and very responsive. Great experience!

We had the tent site area all to ourselves and the sounds of the creek and the walk down to were all standouts for this romantic setting. Was able to hang our hammock and make a fire in the fire pit AND the porta potty just steps away, all pluses. We’ll be back to experience another season at this spot.

Had a great experience camping here! The campsites were well defined, very clean, easy to get to and Alan responded promptly to our inquiries. The Little Quilcene river is just a few yards away, The entire site is gorgeous, peaceful and quiet.
We will definitely stay there again!

This campsite is wonderful. The lushness of the moss-covered trees, the sound of the river next to it, the diversity of life -- it is a truly magical place. We saw all sorts of critters, from a lizard to frogs to various birds (an owl even came to visit and hang out about 15' from us!), and we spent time exploring the forest and soaking in the beauty (pun intended because it rained most of the time we were there).
The entire campsite is very well maintained, and the individual sites are good sized, level, and immaculate. As other campers have mentioned, the toilet is also immaculate, which is a fabulous change from most places!
I would note for future guests that the campsite is a bit wee, and the individual sites are pretty close to each other. Great for friends and families that like camping with each other (or for making new friends), but not great if you're into privacy. We reserved both sites, and I'm really happy we did since it was so peaceful and tranquil without strangers around.
The road is also very close, but we hardly noticed it, and were surprised at how difficult the site is to see when we were driving away.
Oh! I should also mention the owner was very friendly and extremely responsive. He obviously cares about the site and it shows in every interaction with him.
I would absolutely stay there again, and I can't recommend it enough. It's a really magical place, rain or shine.

Little River Hideaway was a perfect spot for camping with my partner, nephews, and pup over a long weekend. Alan has put great care and effort into the design, construction, and maintenance of the sites. Tucked away among ferns and firs, exploring the stream was a highlight for all. While you have the wonderful restful feeling that you are far away from things, it’s only is a quick drive to Leland Lake and the Hood Canal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming. And don’t forget to stop for tamales at Quilcene Village Store and ice cream at Peninsula Foods Store.

First I would like to say the campsite is in an idyllic setting with ferns, vegetation and a creek. It would be perfect for tents or a camper van. We arrived with a small 12 foot trailer. We had a hard time going into the campsite as the gate posts were very close together. Once in and down the hill, we soon realized our trailer was too long for the campsite. When trying to leave the site, we were unable to pull our trailer back up the hill as it was too steep. Alan was great and came quickly with his 4 wheel drive and pulled the trailer up the hill. He then offered us a place across from the campsite to stay where our trailer would fit. All in all, I would recommend the campsite for a tent or camper van…just not a trailer.
