Helpful Hints: If you are traveling from the South side of town: We are only about Half a Mile from the Northbound Edge of town on the Right.

Each site has its own Details and Pricing for Booking your Reservations. Please check-in at the main office building after 1pm. Check out time is 11 am.

Saturday & Sunday the hours are Intermittent. Therefore we kindly ask our guests to call or send us a text message for access to the store; for assistance; questions or to check in. Guests may call us up to 8pm. If a guest decides that they are dissatisfied with their original choice of camping space, they can make a request to change it (depending on availability), through the booking platform that we use called Hipcamp. But do keep in mind that there will be a fee applied for making a modification online on a current reservation. Otherwise let us know how we may help you during your stay. We very kindly ask our guests to be positive and adaptable if ever they encounter a booking issue at our camp. Surprisingly it does happen sometimes with the online booking websites. We experienced this problem over our busiest summer season in 2023. So this is why it can be stressful on both our guests and our hosts. We simply ask our guests to express grace and patience toward us as we work very hard to accommodate you even if something goes wrong. However, if someone out there is not willing to consider and accept a change in their booking site as the result of a rare but possible booking issue, then they may need to look elsewhere to camp. Regarding Electric Vehicles: Please remember to pack your EV adapter power cord. The Fee for Charging an Electric Vehicle Overnight is a Flat Rate of $10.00. Please send us a message or call ahead if you are planning to bring one to our camp. The fee would be handled at our office. Here at Olympic Adventure Campground we work hard to ensure that our guests are content with their camp space and the surroundings. Most of our guests expect to have a quiet, peaceful stay. With this in mind, we have a strict rule in place: Our camp Speed Limit is 5 mph. No Excessively Loud & Fast Operation of Vehicles are allowed to cruise on our camp roads. Some examples are: ATV (Example: Polaris), Dirt Racing Motorcycles, Race Cars. We also kindly ask our guests to use the nearest large dumpster as needed for their trash. Please do not hang bags of food or trash up in the tree branches; do not leave them on the ground anywhere as it does attract the ravens and crows to make a big mess with it. RV Black Waste Water Holding Tanks: We Kindly Ask our Guests the Following: Please arrive at our camp with an empty black waste water holding tank. There are a few dumping options available in this area, just ask us more about it. There is another place called Bogachiel State Park that has a dump station available for RV's at the flat rate of $5.00. Their fee may be different depending on the season of your travels. It is located about 5 miles south of Forks, WA. There are also some rest areas along the I-5 freeway that have free dump stations. Please be mindful to not burden our septic system by arriving here with a full tank of waste water that was accumulated elsewhere. Among the amenities here at our camp, we have 3 restroom stand alone units with running water that remain open for our guests to use 24/7. For Hot Showers: We kindly ask guests to stop in at the camp office first. We charge $5.00 per person on a schedule between the hours of 7am-7pm Daily During Summer Season. Please call if needed when the office is closed, to arrange a time during the Off-Peak Season (After Labor Day through April). The reason we have it on a schedule and charge for it is the following: When we first started this business, the showers were free. However, people would line up behind all the restrooms waiting to take a free shower and others waited in line just to use the commode. Later we received negative feedback about all that. Also, there have been times that we had arrived at the campground in the morning to work and found the water from one of the showers was left running through the night. Our hot water system is powered by propane (hot water on demand). So we pay for both the propane and the city water. So we humbly ask our guests to be considerate for others and for us. With regard to that: Please coordinate and supervise children appropriately for using the facilities that are available here. We have some portable commode units set up at our tent camp section also to accommodate guests especially when the camp is fully booked. We recommend that our guests bring along a raincoat and a warm layer of clothing because rain showers and temperature changes are random and it can happen in any season. Some popular activities in this region include; hiking, fishing, kayaking, rafting trips. Lake Pleasant, as its name implies, located only 8 miles North of Forks is a lovely spot for swimming, boating. Please read the details of our camp listing as appropriate for your travel plans and for more information on our camp amenities and rules. Thank You.

Wild WA Coast Lookout ($75 - $125)

7 sites · RVs, Tents23 acres · Forks, WA

Welcome to Aliya Preserve. Originally owned by the developers of Kalaloch Lodge, this was slated to be an expansion site for the resort. That development would have drastically changed the land. Adam & Sara purchased the property in 2018 to preserve it. We enjoy sharing it with nature aficionados who respect the sacredness of the unblemished land and help us keep it pristine. From your mossy bank perched above the panoramic Pacific, beneath burley spruce tree boughs, magic sunsets unfold at your own super-private and secluded campsite with fire-pit. Adjacent to Olympic National Park, this is the same beach and bluff that defines Kalaloch, LaPush and and other wild Washington coastal icons. As the stewards of this land, we are now inviting respectful and responsible small groups and families to share its beauty. Without prior approval we allow only eight people per group— even when split between campsites. Please make sure to check the site *title* for number of campers allowed in each site. For example only two people are allowed in sites 1 and 4.

Coastal Family Hideaway

1 site · RV, Tent4 acres · Ocean Shores, WA

Ocean Shores is known as a small charming coastal community with an abundance of recreational and cultural activities. It is also surrounded by miles of sandy beaches on the Pacific Ocean as well as Grays Harbor. Its 23 miles of inter-connected canals and lakes charm you with their breathtaking views. Surrounded by trees and vegetation you will have all the privacy you seek as you are the only campers here. This is a very large space to share with those of your choosing. There are no "lights out" or "quiet times" for you to worry about. Large open space for camping with friends and family to gather and enjoy each others company. Dogs are able to be leash free and enjoy the space as well. Only a ten min private walk to the ocean through the dunes to enjoy beautiful sandy beaches, kite flying, picnics on the beach, day camping, amazing sunsets and so much more. Rubber boots (maybe some waders, depending on the winter) are recommended for the hike to the beach during the winter months (November-May) as you will have a small trek through seasonal wet lands. You may also access the beach/ocean by vehicle just a few minutes away in town. You will be located between the Quinault Casino and the City of Ocean Shores where you can enjoy all the wonderful activities there is to offer. If kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding is what you are seeking, many are unaware of the 23 miles of scenic canals in the City of Ocean Shores. You may also fish for bass, rainbow trout, yellow perch and bluegill sunfish in these waterways. I hear there are a couple little Islands to explore as well. What a hidden treasure! There are three launch sites available we can give if needed. And if you left something at home, sitting there thinking he was going to grab it (haha) no worries, you more than likely can grab it in town. The Ace hardware is amazing! There is an Arcade, golf, miniature golf, go carts, water go carts, bowling, horseback rentals (seasonal) for the beach, electric bike rentals, scooter rentals and so many more activities for you to enjoy. A wonderful place where memories are made.

Wild WA Coast Lookout ($75 - $125)

7 sites · RVs, Tents23 acres · Forks, WA

Welcome to Aliya Preserve. Originally owned by the developers of Kalaloch Lodge, this was slated to be an expansion site for the resort. That development would have drastically changed the land. Adam & Sara purchased the property in 2018 to preserve it. We enjoy sharing it with nature aficionados who respect the sacredness of the unblemished land and help us keep it pristine. From your mossy bank perched above the panoramic Pacific, beneath burley spruce tree boughs, magic sunsets unfold at your own super-private and secluded campsite with fire-pit. Adjacent to Olympic National Park, this is the same beach and bluff that defines Kalaloch, LaPush and and other wild Washington coastal icons. As the stewards of this land, we are now inviting respectful and responsible small groups and families to share its beauty. Without prior approval we allow only eight people per group— even when split between campsites. Please make sure to check the site *title* for number of campers allowed in each site. For example only two people are allowed in sites 1 and 4.

Coastal Family Hideaway

1 site · RV, Tent4 acres · Ocean Shores, WA

Ocean Shores is known as a small charming coastal community with an abundance of recreational and cultural activities. It is also surrounded by miles of sandy beaches on the Pacific Ocean as well as Grays Harbor. Its 23 miles of inter-connected canals and lakes charm you with their breathtaking views. Surrounded by trees and vegetation you will have all the privacy you seek as you are the only campers here. This is a very large space to share with those of your choosing. There are no "lights out" or "quiet times" for you to worry about. Large open space for camping with friends and family to gather and enjoy each others company. Dogs are able to be leash free and enjoy the space as well. Only a ten min private walk to the ocean through the dunes to enjoy beautiful sandy beaches, kite flying, picnics on the beach, day camping, amazing sunsets and so much more. Rubber boots (maybe some waders, depending on the winter) are recommended for the hike to the beach during the winter months (November-May) as you will have a small trek through seasonal wet lands. You may also access the beach/ocean by vehicle just a few minutes away in town. You will be located between the Quinault Casino and the City of Ocean Shores where you can enjoy all the wonderful activities there is to offer. If kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding is what you are seeking, many are unaware of the 23 miles of scenic canals in the City of Ocean Shores. You may also fish for bass, rainbow trout, yellow perch and bluegill sunfish in these waterways. I hear there are a couple little Islands to explore as well. What a hidden treasure! There are three launch sites available we can give if needed. And if you left something at home, sitting there thinking he was going to grab it (haha) no worries, you more than likely can grab it in town. The Ace hardware is amazing! There is an Arcade, golf, miniature golf, go carts, water go carts, bowling, horseback rentals (seasonal) for the beach, electric bike rentals, scooter rentals and so many more activities for you to enjoy. A wonderful place where memories are made.

Our Camp is situated on a little more than 5 acres out of our 18 acres of Dense Enormous Evergreen Forest in the Olympic temperate rain forest region. It is next to the road on Highway 101 but still offers our guests the wilderness experience and semi-privacy with tall trees surrounding the camp. We recommend that our guests use GPS to find Forks, WA, First. Once you find Forks, you will be able to find our camp. Helpful Hints: If you are traveling from the South side of town: We are only about Half a Mile from the Northbound Edge of town on the Right. If you are traveling from the North side: Watch for milepost number 193. This means you are very close. Our camp will be on the left. Our Sites were planned out and spaced to offer our guests plenty of "Elbow Room". Whether your travel plans are for using a Tent, parking an RV, or a Rustic Cabin stay, we can help you with that. Each site has its own Details and Pricing for Booking your Reservations. Please check-in at the main office building after 1pm. Check out time is 11 am. During the Summer Vacation Season of May through Labor Day: Our Gift Shop/Office business hours are: Daily between the hours of: 7am - 7pm. During this schedule our guests may call us for checking in up to 9pm. During the Fall through Spring Season of (After Labor Day) in September through April: Gift Shop/Office business hours are between the hours of: 8am to 6pm Monday-Friday. Saturday & Sunday the hours are Intermittent. Therefore we kindly ask our guests to call or send us a text message for access to the store; for assistance; questions or to check in. Guests may call us up to 8pm. If a guest decides that they are dissatisfied with their original choice of camping space, they can make a request to change it (depending on availability), through the booking platform that we use called Hipcamp. But do keep in mind that there will be a fee applied for making a modification online on a current reservation. Otherwise let us know how we may help you during your stay. We very kindly ask our guests to be positive and adaptable if ever they encounter a booking issue at our camp. Surprisingly it does happen sometimes with the online booking websites. We experienced this problem over our busiest summer season in 2023. So this is why it can be stressful on both our guests and our hosts. We simply ask our guests to express grace and patience toward us as we work very hard to accommodate you even if something goes wrong. However, if someone out there is not willing to consider and accept a change in their booking site as the result of a rare but possible booking issue, then they may need to look elsewhere to camp. Regarding Electric Vehicles: Please remember to pack your EV adapter power cord. The Fee for Charging an Electric Vehicle Overnight is a Flat Rate of $10.00. Please send us a message or call ahead if you are planning to bring one to our camp. The fee would be handled at our office. Here at Olympic Adventure Campground we work hard to ensure that our guests are content with their camp space and the surroundings. Most of our guests expect to have a quiet, peaceful stay. With this in mind, we have a strict rule in place: Our camp Speed Limit is 5 mph. No Excessively Loud & Fast Operation of Vehicles are allowed to cruise on our camp roads. Some examples are: ATV (Example: Polaris), Dirt Racing Motorcycles, Race Cars. We also kindly ask our guests to use the nearest large dumpster as needed for their trash. Please do not hang bags of food or trash up in the tree branches; do not leave them on the ground anywhere as it does attract the ravens and crows to make a big mess with it. RV Black Waste Water Holding Tanks: We Kindly Ask our Guests the Following: Please arrive at our camp with an empty black waste water holding tank. There are a few dumping options available in this area, just ask us more about it. There is another place called Bogachiel State Park that has a dump station available for RV's at the flat rate of $5.00. Their fee may be different depending on the season of your travels. It is located about 5 miles south of Forks, WA. There are also some rest areas along the I-5 freeway that have free dump stations. Please be mindful to not burden our septic system by arriving here with a full tank of waste water that was accumulated elsewhere. Among the amenities here at our camp, we have 3 restroom stand alone units with running water that remain open for our guests to use 24/7. For Hot Showers: We kindly ask guests to stop in at the camp office first. We charge $5.00 per person on a schedule between the hours of 7am-7pm Daily During Summer Season. Please call if needed when the office is closed, to arrange a time during the Off-Peak Season (After Labor Day through April). The reason we have it on a schedule and charge for it is the following: When we first started this business, the showers were free. However, people would line up behind all the restrooms waiting to take a free shower and others waited in line just to use the commode. Later we received negative feedback about all that. Also, there have been times that we had arrived at the campground in the morning to work and found the water from one of the showers was left running through the night. Our hot water system is powered by propane (hot water on demand). So we pay for both the propane and the city water. So we humbly ask our guests to be considerate for others and for us. With regard to that: Please coordinate and supervise children appropriately for using the facilities that are available here. We have some portable commode units set up at our tent camp section also to accommodate guests especially when the camp is fully booked. We recommend that our guests bring along a raincoat and a warm layer of clothing because rain showers and temperature changes are random and it can happen in any season. Some popular activities in this region include; hiking, fishing, kayaking, rafting trips. Lake Pleasant, as its name implies, located only 8 miles North of Forks is a lovely spot for swimming, boating. Please read the details of our camp listing as appropriate for your travel plans and for more information on our camp amenities and rules. Thank You.

Camping on the Washington Coast guide

Overview

Stretching along the Pacific Ocean, from the Canada-US border clear down to the mouth of the Columbia River, the Washington Coast offers miles and miles of natural coastline, with sandy beaches, quiet coves, islands, and plenty of evergreen forest. Camp in ancient forests in Olympic National Park, take a whale-watching cruise through the San Juan Islands, or simply take a relaxing break in one of the region's many quiet fishing communities. And while cooler temperatures mean you probably won’t have much luck with your tan, what this region lacks in hot-and-sunny beaches, it more than makes up for with untouched natural beauty.

Where to go

The Olympic Peninsula

From west of the Puget Sound all the way to the Pacific Ocean, the Olympic Peninsula is among the least developed expanses in the state. Its biggest draw is Olympic National Park, known for the rejuvenating Sol Duc Hot Springs, snow-clad Mount Olympus, and the old-growth groves of the Hoh Rainforest. While outdoor adventure is the area’s star attraction, the Olympic Peninsula also features a handful of cute coastal communities, including Port Angeles and Moclips.

Puget Sound

Between Seattle and the Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound is an inlet and estuary that offers solid opportunities for urban adventure and quiet repose. The eastern part of the sound is predominantly urban and dominated by the Seattle metro area, while the communities to the west offer a slower pace of life, with farms, state parks, and wineries. Vashon Island, Bainbridge Island, and Whidbey Island are all popular weekend getaways, with easy access to nature and camping.

The San Juan Islands & Northwestern Coast

Sandwiched between the Strait of Georgia and the Strait of San Juan de Fuca off the coast of northwest Washington, the San Juan Islands are known for their coastal forest scenery and outdoor adventure. The islands attract plenty of vacationers for camping, sea kayaking, and whale-watching. If you're short on time and don't want to take a ferry, stay on the mainland at the sprawling Larrabee State Park or the more compact Birch Bay State Park.

Washington’s South Coast

The southern Washington coast is characterized by wooded state parks and compact fishing communities. Popular spots include Leadbetter Point State Park, Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, and the town of Long Beach—though for truly epic ocean views, head to Cape Disappointment State Park, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean.
