Bear Creek Campground

We really enjoyed our quick stay at this awesome little DNR run campground yesterday. The 15 spaces are all very nicely spaced apart from each other. A Discover Pass is needed to stay here, and there is no nightly fee charged. There are no hookups here, but there is a pit toilet that we didn’t use. It’s a pack in, pack out area, so anything you bring in must go back out with you. Each space has a nice area with a picnic table and a fire pit. There’s a lot of beautiful trees and other greenery all around, and the Sol Duc River that runs right next to it and a small hike takes you down to it. We were in space #1 which has a nice clearing and great for our solar panels. We had plenty of space for our 26’ TT and our pickup truck. The only drawback for us was that since it’s right off the 101, you can hear road noise off and on throughout the day. We still plan on going back again for a longer stay.

Gorgeous spot above quiet Creek, close to Highway. This is a lovely spot and so thankful it’s free! The reviews are exactly as the reviewer from October 2020 stated. I even stayed in the same site, #8. All spots have picnic tables and fire rings.

The vault toilets are not stellar but not the worst I’ve seen. Be sure you have your own toilet paper. The creek is flat and quiet through this section.

The highway noise picks up in the morning but dies off in the evening. The campground was only about 30% occupied when I was here on Tuesday night. I loved having this so close to Hoh rainforest. Stopped here after a day of hiking there.

Heading to Sol duc hot springs!

Can’t ask for more! Site #8 was so beautiful. This campground is next to the highway but it was not noisy. Campers coming and going everyday.
Good cell service (Verizon) and location for day trips. Hiking/biking trails all within an hour’s drive. Forks is only 30 minutes away and Port Angeles (our favorite) only an hour away.

If you are in the area check out the Olympic discovery adventure trail.

Stayed 4 nights here. in a 40 ft motorhome. I am ADA so used ADA pull thru. Free with Washington State discovery pass. Very woodsy and almost no solar. I have 3 100watt panels and only got 1 amp sometimes.
Had to run generator some to keep batteries up, which I hate to do. Almost no one else here, so did not disturb anyone. Cold snap, lows in the 20's, so had to run the heater often. Overall a quiet, secluded campground. Very clean. Saw ranger twice in 4 days.

This is a very nice developed little campground. It never quite filled up while we were hear but was popular. Vault toilets, fire rings, picnic tables. Discover Pass required which is $30 for the whole year. Restaurant within walking distance. A great place to set up and then go out and explore the Peninsula. A bit of road noise during the day but quiet at night. ADA accessible, several sites are reserved for ADA. We had quite a bit of service although sometimes it got a little finicky.

We loved it here. The Sol Duc River is right there for a frigid swim with the kids. The sites are spacious and have a nice picnic table and fire ring. There is No Water and No Garbage. The pit/vault toilets were clean. Easy access to many day trip locations. There was not a lot of sun on the sites for solar, so we had to leave sooner than we wanted. Very forested and quaint. Be sure to take the loop trail hike starting at the West end of the camp ground. Mostly farmed trees, but lots of wildlife, fungus, and excellent views of the Sol Duc river. The discharge into the river on the South side is from a fish farm.

Nice campground along the 101 in Washington State. Within 20 minutes of Forks, Washington of Twilight fame that has a nice local grocery store. We used this as a place to drop our trailer as we explored the National Park Rainforest, Riola Beach near La Push, and Cape Flattery. The location of the campground worked well for this, and the price is right :) . The campground has a nice selection of sites of different sizes, and we found one large enough for our 5th wheel. Its a wooded area with easy access from the highway, although you will get little solar gain if thats an issue. No dumpsters are on site, so its a pack out campground. This is possibly why the area had lots of trash, I was able to almost fill up a 13 gallon bag just from my site, and around the immediate area. Our only other issue was that the camp host site that was long term occupied ran their contractor generator one evening, it was loud enough that no one within 2 miles could enjoy being outside, their site was being kept in poor shape also which may explain the trash in the rest of the park. Generators are fine, just not contractor generators that you cant talk over. Noise from the highway was very low. Access to the river was limited. The restaurant next door has high ratings, and is an easy walk, you may even be able to catch their Wi-Fi.
