Camping at Olympic

Camping at Olympic

From easily accessible campgrounds with amenities to remote sites only accessible by hiking trails, there’s a camp in Olympic National Park to fit any camper’s style.

Backpacking

Backpacking offers a great chance to really get in touch with nature. It’s also the only way to get to some of the more remote sites in the park. Backpacking’s the way to go if you’re looking to get away from the crowds.

RVing

Driving straight in to the campsite is an option for all RV-capable camp sites, making this great option for beginners or people with limited mobility.

I fell in love with the park that day. I plan on going back and hiking Hurricane Ridge again. It's a good three hours or more depending on how lost you can get in the beauty. And we will attempt to see Hoh Rainforest again. -Katrina B.
Olympic has everything, mountains, rain forest, sea shore. It is amazing! We have been there twice and can't wait to go back! -Amy C.
This is by far, one of the most breathtaking places that I've ever visited. I don't know what I enjoyed more, Hurricane Ridge or the Hoh Rain Forest!!!! When you drive all the way to the top of Hurricane Ridge, you just have to walk over to the ledge and take it all in! This place is BEAUTIFUL!!!! -Michelle T.
