Stay at our private piece of rain forest paradise. Our 9 acres of forest is adjacent to the Olympic national park and the Olympic discovery trail. Camp next to Lake Crescent and the Sol Duc river/ hot springs, immersed in the Olympic rain forest, next to a bubbling creek. There is hiking , biking and boating in all directions. Each camp is semi secluded, surrounded in ferns and old growth trees. With many trails that loop around and covered outdoor kitchens, its a great spot to chill and cook or explore the forests thousands of ferns and bubbling brooks . Located a mile and a half from Lake Crescent, adjacent to the Olympic Discovery Trail and the Olympic National Park, our property is a perfect gathering point to explore the possibilities of the peninsula. You will think you're in the park.

Tucked away in a beautiful forest, this campsite offers a tranquil escape with unique touches like wooden carvings and fairy lights. Many campers appreciate the proximity to Olympic National Park and the welcoming atmosphere created by the host, Seph. However, off-season visitors have reported issues with water supply and bathroom facilities, which can detract from the experience. While the site is generally loved for its charm and location, it's essential to check the availability of amenities before booking, especially in the off-season.

Absolutely magical place to stay! Girlfriend loved it and we both thought it was super cute and quiet (we're staying early in the season). Every part of the place had something unique and delightful and HOT SHOWERS! Will definitely stay when we're coming back through in the future

Cool spot! Off-season campers beware — like the previous review, water was turned off so bathroom facilities were not usable and there wasn’t available drinking water. We brought everything we needed so we were alright and were also the only ones on the property. Really beautiful forest and great location. Would love to check it out again in the summer!

Charming, quiet and a little creepy

4b sol duc rainforest camp site

I can see why this place has so many great reviews. It’s so close to the lake and the park, but tucked away so that aside from a little highway noise it’s peaceful and comfortable. Someone clearly went to a lot of trouble to make this a place where folks can gather and enjoy nature. We loved the many decorations and the kitchens and social spaces. However, our timing might have worked against us, as there was a light-are-on-but-nobody’s-home vibe upon our arrival. We didn’t see any other campers or caretakers, and the water was turned off so we couldn’t use the bathroom or the kitchens. The potable water jugs were empty, and most concerning, the toilets were not functional. Toilet paper and etc. was piled up in the toilets, and there was one partial roll of paper available, which was wet. We are mostly self contained in our van, so water wasn’t as much a problem, but we’d been looking forward to the promised hot showers, and the lack of flushing toilets sucked. It sort of felt like we shouldn’t be there, and with the elevated cost of camping here, we would have been better off at a state park.

We love Seph with our whole heart! Our stay kept getting better and better as the evening went on, with a fully equipt kitchen to a ping pong table to Rufus the dog who was immediately beloved. The sites were sprinkled with fun carvings and fairy lights to make for the campsite of your dreams. The staff (Seph) was quick to greet us with enthusiasm and unending kindness.

Excellent campsite central to everything you’d want to do in Olympic. The facilities were great and way beyond what I was looking for/expected- I was just camping but the nicer rentals looked like a good deal and I’d imagine anyone could find a comfort level they can work with here (see: SAUNA). Seph was the man and a great host who was happy to give a rec, have a hang, and make a great trip even more memorable. Thanks for the great week and hope to be back soon.
