Nice county park right next to Dungeness Rec Area. Close enough to catch Victoria B.C. ferry (25 minutes away). We had a sunny site to charge solar yet it had shade over table so it was the best of both worlds. Our 2 bar Verizon didn’t do anything for us but it was fun to unplug and enjoy nature.

What a find! Loop 1, site 8 is unbelievably gorgeous with privacy, a sunny clearing and a view overlooking the ocean from a bluff with the sound of waves crashing. Couldn’t have asked for more. Best site on Loop 1 which is first come first served. We arrived around 11:30am on a Tuesday in May and had our pick of sites. But others came a few minutes behind us and were eyeing our spot. We felt so lucky. No bugs this time of year.

When we woke up in the morning the view was awesome over the cliff! There were also elk/ deer grazing on the common picinc area! Was an idyllic spot after driving around from Seattle!
The showers and bathrooms were spotless! Shower 25c for 2 mins plenty of time and were nice and hot! Fire pits and picnic tables per spot also a bonus! Very impressed!

This is a great campground right next to the entrance of the Dungeness Wildlife Refuge-Dungeness Spit. The hiking and biking trails are in great shape, with the only wish that they were a little longer. The sunset views over the bluff are amazing, and I even lucked out when a Biplane flew out in front of my sunset view, although I ran out of space on my memory card at the worst time. The hike on the spit is very nice, especially at low tide, and a hike to the lighthouse can be done for a 11 mile RT walk. I ended up opting out of that hike, and instead hit the trails with my bike. The trails are very smooth and fast in spots, just be careful as they are multi use. All the campsites we looked at were in great shape, with choices of shade or sun. We chose one of the sunniest sites in order to get as much solar gain as possible. There were two campground host couples, that seem to do a great job of keeping the grounds kept up. We really liked that of all the sites, about 50% of them were first come first serve, all of which are on the first loop, and a few on the second loop. If your just there for one night, you can easily see which ones are reserved for that evening, and which ones are reserved. If I had one issue, it would be that the price was a little high for a County campground, and would put it in the $17/nt. category in comparison to other locations around the country, but thats just my opinion :) . We felt very safe leaving our trailer during the day as we went into the great town of Port Angelas where getting around town is easy. The dump station is set up nicely and free to registered campers, however you will have to fill up your fresh water in a different spot.

• semi-private spots with enough greenery between to give you a sense of privacy
• quiet enough to hear the waves at night
• super friendly staff and Park Ranger
• very clean & lovely grounds
The cons:
• CASH or CHECK only. No credit card reader to pay for site
• NO DOGS allowed on Dungeness Spit because it’s a wildlife refuge
• tons of aggressive bugs, mosquitos, bees, and wasps - too much for us and we cut our stay a night early because we couldn’t sit outside and enjoy the campsite (yes, we covered ourselves in big repellent “Jungle Juice” and some kind of homeopathic stuff... but that only seemed to draw them to us!)
• not near anything, so be sure to pack in everything you might need

Clean but tight sites with enough shrub & tree buffer for some privacy. Good customer service. Great sunset views from bluff across straight of Juan de Fuca toward Vancouver Island. Nice walk to water & spit toward lighthouse but since it is a wildlife refuge, no dogs on trails. Deer abound.

The spots are in heavily wooded area, so it feels very private. Some are next to the bluffs, so you are just steps from an ocean view. Get one of those spots if you can. Either way, you are a short hike down a steep hill (on a paved path) to the beach. Once down to the beach, if you are ambitious you can take the 5 1/2 mile hike (each way) out to the lighthouse, and you can go up into the top of the lighthouse. The views all along the beach are amazing, with sandy bluffs, the straight, and distant snow-capped mountains.
The campground is quiet and well-kept. There are no hookups, but there is a dump station.

Sequim is a beautiful area, I'd come back just for the town and to kick around the coast.
We pull a 40 ft. toy hauler. Although they don't say you can't there are really only like 4 spots that would fit our trailer. We had a professional tractor trailer guy guide us in, even then the roads are not wide enough for much manuevering, so we were brushing our brand new truck up against the bushes to get our trailer backed in. We also had the bushes right outside our door with not much of a patio or passage on either side with our slides out. We made the best of the situation and really enjoyed the area including the wildlife refuge and the lavender farms nearby.
Fires are allowed in fire rings, the showers are cheap and warm. Fresh water is available at a spigot near the bathrooms. I'd recommend probably 30ft or less to camp here. Class A folks beware, but also look for pull throughs - there are a couple.
Most of all we had some great neighbors to share a campfire with and let our kids play with, that made the experience for us, although that is always just what live deals and a gamble in some situations.
Also be ready to run your generator and come in with plenty of water. We totally forgot to plan ahead making this a great learning experience for us.

This is a great location, the campground is on a bluff, and although you can't see the water you are just a few steps away from it.
Loop 1 is First Come First Served. Loop 2 is reservable. We found it easy to get a spot in loop 1 during the week. All sites are dry, there are no hook-ups here. Sites are mostly shaded, with a couple of more open sites. We had to leave a day early as we couldn't charge our solar panels due to lack of sunshine and shade from trees.
There is a limited trail system in the park and the park is adjacent to the Wildlife Refuge and the entrance to the Dungeness Spit. The walk along the spit is over 5 miles and is tough going as you are walking on sand, but the lighthouse at the end is worth it, and the driftwood on the beach is beautiful. Look at the tide tables before you go, it is especially tough going at high tide.
The surrounding area is pretty and has good facilities, there is a U-Pick Farm nearby, great fruit stands and the Sunny Farms grocery store. The Olympic National Park is close too, we didn't make it because of the rainy weather when we were there.
There are restrooms, showers and a dump station on site.
