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!

Mountain & River Views!

Great viewpoint with perfect deck lounge. I like that we could lock the gate when we left for short outings. We happened to hit this site during the wildfire on the mountain…later in the evening a storm rolled through. Nice to see how the rain helped back off some flames on the mountain. Stellar communication by our host…thanks so much!

Mountain & River Views!

Private site with beautiful views!

Amazing camping spot, we loved our stay! We were able to move our travel trailer so it faced the deck and the view as we have a caravan mover, whilst still being on gravel. This gave us fantastic views with total privacy ( the road is a dead end so very private anyway. The site is spacious, very quiet and feels quite special. We appreciated the water and power hookups, we have 50Ft of water hose which was easily enough and 25ft for electric which was also more adequate.

Mountain & River Views!

This was a beautiful and secluded campsite, I really enjoyed myself. The view from the deck is gorgeous but the real stunner was the view from the bench! Unfortunately there were quite a few wasps in that area so I didn't spend as much time there as I would have liked. Directions were super simple and easy. There is no shade so keep that in mind. I had a discover pass so I was able to drive down to dosewallips state park, which is right down in the valley, and shower. If you want a private campsite in a busy camping area, this is the place!

Mountain & River Views!

Great Spot with Amazing View and Star Gazing! 7 min drive to Dosewallips River/State Park. Also, Rocky Brook Falls and Creek. Site is out in open, but shady by 5pm, so my trailer really didn't get too hot. We will be planning on coming back again. Thank you, William, for creating such an wonderful place and sharing it with others.

Peaceful

Second summer coming here, just as magical as the first time. Truly one of our favorite spots! The halfway house restaurant close by was yummy.
