Wild WA Coast Lookout ($75 - $125)

7 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Forks, WA

Welcome to Aliya Preserve. Originally owned by the developers of Kalaloch Lodge, this was slated to be an expansion site for the resort. That development would have drastically changed the land. Adam & Sara purchased the property in 2018 to preserve it. We enjoy sharing it with nature aficionados who respect the sacredness of the unblemished land and help us keep it pristine. From your mossy bank perched above the panoramic Pacific, beneath burley spruce tree boughs, magic sunsets unfold at your own super-private and secluded campsite with fire-pit. Adjacent to Olympic National Park, this is the same beach and bluff that defines Kalaloch, LaPush and and other wild Washington coastal icons. As the stewards of this land, we are now inviting respectful and responsible small groups and families to share its beauty. Without prior approval we allow only eight people per group— even when split between campsites. Please make sure to check the site *title* for number of campers allowed in each site. For example only two people are allowed in sites 1 and 4. Up to two dogs are allowed per site for a $25 perpup fee, which must be paid in the "extras" section at checkout {dogs enjoy the beach the most!!}

Good 'Dose' of Relaxation

1 site · RV1 acre · Brinnon, WA

Property nestled above the Dosewallips River with tremendous views of Mt. Jupiter Ridge and the Dosewallips River. You will find numerous hikes in the Olympic National Forest within a short drive, a gorgeous waterfall and swimming hole within 5 minutes, parks, Whitney Garden & Nursery, boat launches, crabbing, clamming & oyster digging, wildlife watching, enjoying the Hood Canal, and much more! Or, just sit back and relax in tranquility, as the property sits at the end of a cul de sac just before entering national forest land. Be sure to leash your pets and keep a good eye, as there are wildcats, coyotes, and bears in the area. Learn more about this land: Pull your RV or trailer onto this lot and take in the beautiful southwestern view of Mt. Jupiter ridge and a peek-a-boo view of the Dosewallips River! Listen closely, and you will hear the sounds of the river below. The lot is equipped with power and water hookups! Please be aware the water hookup is near the main gate entrance and the power is about 40 feet apart, so you may need a long hose (see pic). Enjoy the view from the large deck, firepit, or picnic table overlooking the river, valley, and mountains. This lot is truly a little slice of heaven! Within a few minutes, find yourself at Rocky Brook falls (see pics) for a spectacular view and even a swim if you so please! Pleasant Harbor Marina (also shown in pics) also within 10 minutes! You will also find many hiking trails and parks nearby! There is weak cell service on the lot, so you may or may not be able to connect. I get 1-2 bars with Sprint. While this property is not very far off the Dosewallips road (35 mph), it is generally very quiet and peaceful. You may hear cars and motorcycles from time to time, but very faintly. The lot is at about 350 ft. elevation, so you may get noise traveling up the valley from the residential community below (to which I belong), such as dogs, people using chainsaws, etc. There is hunting allowed in the national forest, so you could potentially hear guns in the distance during the day, but that is rare. There are a few close neighbors, so please be respectful and quiet, especially in the evening. Please bring your own firewood when campfires are allowed and please do not forage for firewood on or around the property. Lastly, while the sightings have been few and rare, the neighbors have seen bears, cougars, coyotes, and bobcats near their homes and this property. So keep an eye on your children and pets, especially if off-leash (your pet of course!) The property also slopes a bit where the deck starts, so again, keep a close eye on the kiddos. You have a very good chance of seeing the local Roosevelt Elk that travel in huge herds around Brinnon (See pics). They sometimes lay down and hang out on the grass on the property! Make sure your pets have their flea and tick updates!

The best camping near Olympic National Park guide

Overview

About

Spread out over close to a million acres on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, Olympic National Park is home to a wide diversity of natural features, from Pacific Ocean beaches to ancient forests. Mountaineers know the park for glaciated Mount Olympus, while hot springs fans can soak in the healing waters at Sol Duc Hot Springs. The most celebrated highlight is arguably the temperate Hoh Rainforest, known for its ancient groves of old-growth trees strewn with emeraldine moss. Plenty of great camping options exist in and around the area for those who want to spend the night, but sites fill up quickly in warmer months.

Olympic National Park RV Camping

Washington's Olympic National Park is a joy to visit by RV. You can easily explore different sections of the Olympic Peninsula and its 329-mile loop road, and an RV’s shelter means you’re always prepared for precipitation at the park’s famous rainforests. On the park’s coastal section, Kalaloch Campground’s RV sites feature picnic tables, fire rings, restrooms, and a dump station. Hoh Campground, although it has no RV hookups, is a solid spot along the Hoh River to immerse yourself in a classic Olympic Peninsula rainforest with thick moss, ferns, and old-growth trees. Further north, the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground has RV sites with water and electric hookups, plus proximity to the resort’s soothing geothermal pools. For day-use access, find a basecamp at a private RV site or RV park with full hookups in the areas surrounding the park, such as Forks or Port Angeles.

Notable campgrounds

Best for beachfront camping: Kalaloch Campground offers direct beach access and front-row seats to ocean sunsets.
Best for rest and relaxation: Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort Campground features tent and RV camping right by a thermal hot spring.
Best for nature lovers: Set up camp amid ancient trees at Hoh Campground, which offers easy access to the famous Hall of Mosses trail.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Campsites can be booked up to six months in advance on the National Park Service (NPS) website. Reservations open at 7am Pacific.
The park is very popular, especially in summer, so it’s wise to wake up early to secure your spot right when reservations go live.
The park’s Log Cabin RV & Campground has its own reservation system.
Kalaloch, Hoh, and Mora are the only reservable, NPS-run campgrounds, bookable in summer.
All campgrounds (including Kalaloch, Hoh, and Mora) operate on a first-come, first-served basis outside of the reservable summer season.

When to go

The best time to visit Olympic National Park is in summer, when the weather is warm and the chance of heavy rainfall is slim. This is also the busiest time, so if you're planning to reserve a campsite, make sure to do it well in advance. To beat the crowds, late spring and early fall are good alternatives; just come prepared for rainfall and cold weather.

Know before you go

You can pick up camping supplies and gas in Forks, about a 40-minute drive from the Hoh Rainforest Visitor Center.
If your campground doesn’t sell firewood, then you’re permitted to collect dead wood for fires within 100 feet of your site, provided all pieces are under six inches in diameter.
It's wise to download offline maps before you head out, as parts of the park and surrounding areas do not get good cell phone coverage.
Make sure to check in advance for wildfire alerts and snowstorm- or landslide-related closures.
