I work remote and travel out of my camper full time. I took one of the center spots and have my Starlink in the middle. It works well for streaming and general use but can be spotty on video calls so I otherwise use my hot spot on my phone as I have Verizon and get 3-4 bars.

I work remote and travel out of my camper full time. I took one of the center spots and have my Starlink in the middle. It works well for streaming and general use but can be spotty on video calls so I otherwise use my hot spot on my phone as I have Verizon and get 3-4 bars. I’ve spent my time doing hikes in Olympic after work.
This spot is about 25-30 minutes from Mount Storm King and Marymere Falls. It’s about 35 from Sol Duc Falls, the hot springs resort, and High Divide & Seven Lakes Basin. There’s Beaver General Store about 15 mins away that has groceries, liquor, etc and gas stops even closer off Olympic.
There’s logging that’s happening off of this road so you will hear semis throughout the day working.
Typically there’s 1-3 other sets of campers but I haven’t seen it fill up. The spot I’m in was level so I didn’t need to use blocks.
I haven’t had any issues with other campers making noise or anything like that. A lot of people stay for an overnight or so. The sites are clean. The road itself has some debris from teenagers if I had to guess but not the site itself.
Would stay again if I come back to Olympic.

We arrived the Saturday before memorial day. It was getting full but there was still room for others. Campers were respectful and the space was clean... Except the day we left we found that some previous tenters didn't bury their waste. Yuck! Unfortunately out dog found it and that's was an unpleasant discovery.

Verizon speed was 27 Mbps download/13 Mbps upload. TMobile was 30/14. I couldn't get ATT to run a speed test. Verizon/TMobile were with a roof mounted Pepwave antenna and ATT was via phone.
This is a great spot about halfway between Olympic's Hoh section and the main Port Angeles section. The formal USFS campground across the highway was closed at the time, but might be a good place to get water and dump your trash if they allow it. Do your laundry and grocery shopping before you get here - not much nearby.
The USFS road to get here is paved and in pretty good shape. No issues with low or scraping branches. We arrived on a Monday morning and only one other camper was there. The coordinates are at an oblong clearing about 200 feet across at the widest.
There was little trash to speak of. The only road noise came from 1-2 logging trucks per hour but that doesn't continue into the night. We didn't have issues getting level with standard methods.
There's a variety of shade options. We were able to get good solar production and Starlink wouldn't have issues with obstructions here.

A wet location with a couple small ponds on the loop road in the camping area. But what would you expect. The campsite loop road is dirt but even as wet as it was felt firm. The road is paved all the way to the campsite. Over head clearance for at least 12’. About 2 miles off 101. Amazing. Room for 5 or 6 RVs if parked well.

It is a great spot to explore the northern and western side of the Olympic Peninsula. We also enjoyed taking our bikes just down the road to the Olympic Discovery Trail - highly recommended. You can fill water jugs at the campground across the highway, just a3 minute drive, at no cost.
Also, don't be deterred by the road closed sign at the entrance - if you read the small print it says that it's closed 18 miles in, so access is no problem.

Here end of July 2021. There are bugs in the afternoon but you are in a forest. Perfect for any size rig. There are currently 4 campers here now and plenty of room to spread out. No dirt bikers, very quiet. All the campers very respectful.

Got here at 4pm and had the spot to myself. Pretty wet and lots of bugs but has good service. Around 6pm many dirt bikers showed up with 4 trailers and many loud dirt bikes and told us they would be riding around most of the night. We ended up leaving because of how loud they were and found a spot directly up the road.

we came here for a couple days of boondocking after leaving the Forks elks lodge.
when you turn off Hwy 101 and come down past the Trail head sign on the left you turn onto a nice mostly single lane paved road..
you will go appz 1 mile up NF-29 (national forest) road to the camping area on the right.. (there is another turn off before it look for the opening just back from NF road).
When we got here there was a Tenter in the back left area of the opening, a smaller RV in the front left area and during the afternoon a 36ft 5th wheel came in a well.
I estimated there could be some 6 or more units in here is needed..
this put you about 20 mins to Lake Crescent area and the trail heads and a nice bike, Tracks to trails area, as well. The lake and Lodge were very nice and there is a nice hike to some falls.
We did drive on the forest road 29 up a good ways in a 2 wd truck, it goes to the left and turns gravel and in some area a bit narrow with "growth" close to the path. there are some mud holes but for the most part a good road.. we did about 5 miles and turned around as the going in SLOW.. and you are going uphill most of the way.
ATT service NNNNOOOO... nota, zilch, bunpkins, zip..
T-mobile was very good.. getting 1.3 hotspotting off my phone samsung galx 8. so able to stream TV, netflix, amazon prime video etc. with no problem.
