We arrived at the park in early afternoon and checked the board at the unmanned office where reservations were listed, our reserved site #55 was listed as open. Uh oh. We drove to our site and found that it was occupied by a tent and easy-up. We called the campground number and reached the ranger and told him our problem. He said he would meet us back at the office, so we drove back to the office. He asked us to produce our printed reservation, which we did, then he said the problem was that their reservation software didn't work properly and the night ranger thought the site was unoccupied so he let another party move to our site. He also said that he was not going to ask them to move, we could find another spot for the night. What? We told him we needed a long, level site so that we didn't need to unhook for the night, he wrote down some sites to check. He was rather cavalier about the situation, which we didn't appreciate. We ultimately found an available site that we could fit into (there weren't many), so we parked and went for a hike.
We had a note on our door when we returned that said the people on our site had decided to leave so we could move to it. What? So we moved to site 55 which was a nice site, it had a long driveway and two large open areas and we could see the sunset out our back window.
We enjoyed our stay at the park, we used this base to explore the northern areas of Olympic National Park and we went out to the extreme northwestern point on the peninsula on the Makah Indian reservation. We also hiked out to the New Dungeness Lighthouse on the spit. The towns of Sequim and Port Angeles nearby were convenient for supplies. We ate some great Dungeness crabs while camping. With boosting, we had good ATT 4G for internet access. The park was busy while we were there, the restrooms were clean and there was a coin-operated shower at each restroom.

We stayed in a 35' Class A with a Jeep Cherokee and there were a lot of spaces that would accommodate us and bigger rigs. Roads inside the park are a little tight, but we didn't brush a single tree getting through. Site 51 would be perfect for those with solar and/or satellite as it is wide open overhead.

We stayed in a 35' Class A with a Jeep Cherokee and there were a lot of spaces that would accommodate us and bigger rigs. Roads inside the park are a little tight, but we didn't brush a single tree getting through. Site 51 would be perfect for those with solar and/or satellite as it is wide open overhead. All sites have good separation and lots of natural trees and foliage. Expected bugs but had very few.
The bluff trail runs right behind that row of sites so you do hear some people noise, but the tradeoff is watching the sunsets from your dining room. Very clean shower and restrooms, good size playground for the kids.
Loop 1 is first-come, first serve and was less than half full for our entire stay. Loop 2 is 90% reservable and was about 60% full. The Clallum County Park reservation system is great and they are wonderful about responding to emails and helping find the best spot for your set up.
Access off Hwy 101 is easy off either Carlborg or Kichen-Dick. Signage is decent. GPS was accurate to the gate. Easy dump station on the way out.
Nice hiking and many see whales from the bluff. Lots to do on the OP, so book as much time as you can!

Spent two lovely nights here at the Dungeness Recreation Area. It's a great campground with plenty of trees and shade, though a few spots are open with lots of sun, if you prefer that. Sites are comfortable and reasonably spacious.
No hookups of any kind, so you are boondocking here, but the location is everything. Potable water is available on the way in, and there's a dump station on the way out.
Bathrooms and showers are nice and clean and everything works. Nice hot showers are $0.25 for 2 minutes, so bring quarters.
We had a wonderful time here. Campground is within easy walking distance of Dungeness Spit wildlife preserve. If you wish, you can walk the 5.5 miles out the spit to the light house and back. Just check the tide tables before you go and plan to walk out / back at lower tides to avoid any drama. There's lots to see and do in the area, and this is a fantastic base from which to operate.
