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.

This camp site was really nice with a lot of space. We were the only ones there so it was really quiet. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

There were just a couple of other tent/car campers here when we were Since it was mid week and raining, so it was quiet and secluded. Access was super easy with good paved roads And easy corners and grades the whole way to the field. Leveling our trailer was easy.
It makes a good base for exploring. I wouldn’t camp here just to camp, the trees are pretty, but there are no views beyond this small clearing.
Cell service was strong on Verizon so we could work, including video calls, and stream movies at night. There’s a pay dump station at the boat ramp on the west side of Cresent lake If you need it.
Our main negative other than the Pnw weather was the dog poop everywhere. We tried to clean up our site area as best we could but still managed to track it into the car which was a hassle to clean up.
Please be responsible and clean up after your canines :)

Decent size can fit all size rigs if there is space availability. Sites level with a few potholes. Not too many mosquitoes in Aug.
3 bars Verizon LTE
NO ATT service in this Northwest area of Olympic. Need to go to Forks or toward Lake Crescent near Storm King Ranger Station.

We arrived July 1, 2020. No one here. Secluded but muddy and tore up by 4 wheelers. July 2nd the locals started showing up with high performance Razors. Drunk, loud and obnoxious until all hours of the night. By Saturday July 4th there was not enough room to even park. I counted 12 Razors and almost got run over by 1 during the day. ... more

Drunk, loud and obnoxious until all hours of the night. By Saturday July 4th there was not enough room to even park. I counted 12 Razors and almost got run over by 1 during the day. They went out on daytime and nighttime runs honking the horns on the way out and back in. This is a once a month event for some of them. We are never going back there. Don't bring the kids because they'll learn new swear words and possibly get run over.

The area is mostly level, we only needed Anderson's levelers to get good.
