About 25 of the sites are permanent, and about 15 of these are very, very trashy. The only reason I gave this a 4 instead of something lower is because of the friendly owner, the super wifi, pull through sites, and good interior roads. The 30 amp electric was very weak as our autoformer kept busting electric. The owner said because of the economy he was taking in more monthly renters. These were not monthly, some have been there for quit a while and a school bus picks up kids at the park. The dog area is not fenced in as reported here. There is a fence separating the highway from the park on one side. This may have been an 8 or 9 as listed in passed reports, but these are 2 years old. There is a lot of highway noise. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Previous postings are correct about pleasant management and constant updating of a fairly old park. They are doing the best they can to improve things. Our two complaints were very, very close sites and proximity to the very busy Hwy 101. We were unable to open our awning and barely able to open the 2 slides in our 35' Class A. Traffic on 101 is constant and made for a noisy stay, and difficult comings and goings in our toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
During our 6 week stay here, the owners have constantly been making improvement. Building a small enclosed sitting area with a picnic bench. Planting many trees in order to improve the appearance of the park. The owners are friendly, cooperative and accommodating. The park is clean with good interior gravel roads. Campsites are graveled and mostly level. Even though the park is older it is very pleasant with beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains. Overall it is a very nice park and we will gladly stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park has a dozen long pull-throughs sites and the remainder are back-ins, about 35' long. Access is easy for any size rig. There isn't a lot of room between some of the sites, but others are roomier, with a picnic table. It is right on Highway 101, so there is road noise during the day. There is a speedway across the highway; we heard racing going on Saturday night. There is a large fenced off-leash area for dogs, as well as open fields near by and a very nice rural road for walks. The owners are extremely pleasant and helpful. The laundry consists of one washer and one dryer (both new looking) in the office. The park is midway between Port Angeles and Sequim, so every kind of shopping is within 5-8 miles. They had the most reliable WiFi we have ever experienced, and it was fast and free. 9/1-6/15, they take Passport America for up to two nights, including holidays. A great little park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was one of our favorite RV parks. We had planned to stay one night, but changed our stay to three nights due to our positive feeling about the park. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. They helped us park our trailer, find a vet in town, offered insider's advice on what to see and what to avoid, even made suggestions for our next destination, and were available around the clock. Overall, they made us feel very welcome, as if we were locals. Additionally, the park is very dog friendly with a big field for dogs to run off leash. I would highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice older park that the young owners are improving. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed our stay. Lots of room to walk the dogs, were able to let them off leash of 5 acres behind the park. Highway 101 was a little noisy on occasion but not to the point we lost any sleep over it. Would definitely stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in the park for 2 weeks, and had a good time. The Park is on the 101 Highway and has road noise during the Day, and gets quiet at night. The Owners are very friendly, The WI-FI has a strong fast signal, Rest rooms are cute and color full. Most sites are level, and real easy for big rigs to get around the park. The sites are a little narrow. Most of the people we saw were 55 and older and friendly folks. The Owners are young and trying to get the older Park up to speed . The location of the place was perfect for us, as we used it as a base camp to tour the peninsula. We loved the area so much we bought a home in Sequim WA. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Friendly owner/staff and free hi-speed wifi bring this rating up. The park is right on busy Hwy 101 and is quite noisy. No room in between sites (unable to even put out awning.) Sites are unlevel. Only 10 minutes on 101 to reach Port Angeles/Ferry to BC. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
OK for an overnite stop. Older park that could use upgrading. Water connections in old rotting boxes, electrical needs upgrading. Don't think there is a level site in the place. Grass & gravel sites and next to busy HWY 101 so constant road noise. No tv reception or cable. Free Wi-Fi. About 7 miles from ferry terminal to Victoria. Nice owners though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We pulled in here but didn't actually stay - the price is based on the price posted at the door. There are only 2 sites that take big rigs - they were full. The front desk people are very nice, but the owner is in charge. The sewer system is shot & we couldn't even park in any of the empty spots without our sewer hooked up (my husband thinks because we'd probably have fallen thru into the drainage field. It was very soft.) This should not be advertised as anything but a small rig and tent campground, with a few sites at the west end for the rest of the world. But, there were a lots of Class B rigs all over the place - so were they not hooked up to water & sewer??? We would not even try to stop here again, even tho the location is great and the view terrific. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is all about the half mile of private, sandy beach guests have access to across the street. The beach is lovely and the views of the strait, especially at sunset, are fantastic. And, the staff is helpful. Beyond that, this park has little to offer. We had friends pick us up for dinner one night and they were charged $5 each at the entrance! And, at this nightly rate: there is no cable or Wi-Fi? The row of trees behind the sites blocked our satellite. Electricity was so undervoltage we had to monitor our usage very carefully. Sites are basically one row of back-ins that are very close together. We’re glad we visited this place. The beach is beautiful, but there are better alternatives in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There is a long beautiful beach accessed by at least 4 sandy paths which is ideal for kayaks, surfboards and beachcombing. Only Canadian TV channels available. Laundry small but clean and well set up. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We pulled in and registered. When we exited the office I found the other driver outside with 3 or 4 bleeding mosquito bites. We then discovered the NO REFUND signs. This is a nice location on a quarter mile beach (across highway) with views of the water, BUT behind the campground is a brackish swamp FILLED with mosquitos. They had a sign that said NO TENTS, but were renting to tenters (who were eaten alive). You should check with them in advance about the insect problem and make reservations NOT ACCEPTING the no refund policy. If they are unwilling to honor that, enough said. We stayed 3 days, used spray and did not get bitten again, but could not sit outside. There is a state campground about a half mile away but only a quarter mile from the swamp. Tried to post this on Trailer Life, but I guess they are unwilling to take negative reviews. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Children welcome, but nothing for them to do other than play at beach which is across a street (not busy, but still) They offer a 1/2 mile stretch of private beach, but it wasn't great. There were tons of sand fleas - you'd walk in your flip-flops and you'd feel them hitting your feet. After crossing the road to get to the beach, you walked thru this field that had tons of burrs - very painful. The $25 is for 2 people, + $5 for our 1 child (5 yrs) +$5 for our dog - per night - $35!! ouch!! The 2 spots next to us couldn't even dump when leaving - the campgrounds' septic tanks were full!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We spent a disappointing week here. This is one of those parks that will be highly rated by smaller units, and for those of us with large motorhomes, be appropriately poorly rated. On one hand, it is nicely landscaped, with flowers, bird feeders, and ponds, and the staff is very friendly. On the other, the sites are too small for motorhomes with slides, not all are 50A, and the 30A voltage is marginal. It's not possible to get into and out of many sites with a tow attached since backing up will be necessary to get in between the trees and into the terraced sites. The park is heavily treed making satellite reception spotty, and there is no cable TV and little broadcast. There are many permanent residents, and while their sites are neat and segregated from the travelers, they drive through the traveler's area each morning, starting at 5:00 AM. If you have a small unit and only require 30A power, this may suit you fine; for us, we'll pass if in the area again. Curiously, it is less expensive to stay day by day than the weekly rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a campground for local workers and is mostly full time RV sites. The sites are too short for a 38' RV with a tow car to pull into. The sites are horribly unlevel and so narrow we could hardly open our slideouts. Upkeep is questionable and the owners have not spent any upkeep money since the 70's! However, the staff was helpful and pleasant to work with. We would likely not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There are clean facilities and friendly owner. Her family helps run the park, and they are nice, too. It is a safe park. Even though it is off the beaten path, it is easy and quick to get into Port Angeles. It provides good access to the Olympic National Park as well as to Neah Bay. We stayed for four nights. On one evening our daughter joined us and brought her tent along - only cost $2 more per night. It is not a show stopper. If we return to the area - we'll stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed here on a trip around the Olympic Peninsula. Nice and clean park. Lots of grass for playing. Primarily gravel roads. Biggest issue: you cannot reserve a particular site. So we were placed in the ULTRA tight spots even though it's supposed to be first come first served. We were there at 2pm, and there were lots of open spots with a fire pit and "room". I had to maneuver around the neighbor's awning and only had 2 feet between my stairs and the wall for the next tiered site. Front desk said that was the "spot they designated for me" and wouldn't move me. We were so disappointed that we left within about 2 hours. Some of the sites are huge with fire pits, so gamble if you'd like. Won't be back unfortunately. Would go back if they would have reservable sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The park is a bit cramped. The sites and roads are uneven gravel and in need of maintenance. The wifi was good. Only a few Canadian tv stations available - no cable tv. The owners are very friendly and there are a lot of nice wood carvings. The price for the park is in line with the services provided. There was never any soap in either the men's or women's restrooms during the 3 nights we stayed there. You only get 6 minutes of shower water for $1.00 so you had better hurry when showering. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We chose this campground because of the reviews here and because they will allow you to store your rig for up to a week if you camp for at least 3 nights. This allowed us to visit family in Victoria without dragging our trailer with us. The staff is very friendly and tries to accommodate requests. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Small, a bit cramped, but very clean and well maintained. Lots of trees and gardens. Staff very nice. Many beautiful chain saw carvings on display. Owners have done a great job given the physical limitations of the grounds. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Small park with fairly narrow spaces but well maintained with friendly, helpful owners and staff. We spent 4 days over 4th of July so the place was full but never noisy. It's a short distance off US 101 (not overly traveled) so no road noise either. The Wi-Fi was fairly typical for CG's - worked best at the office (I sat on the deck and enjoyed my iced tea while checking in on email, etc). This is a good base for visiting the North and Western areas of Olympic NP and Victoria, BC. When you take the ferry to Vicortia, buy a Grayline pass to Butchart Gardens at the bus terminal or visitor's center in Vancouver not on the ferry. Last year it was US$30/person vs over US$60/person for the "special deal" pushed on the ferry. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very well-located park -- near enough to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park, but not right in town. Fairly quiet. Bathrooms were decent -- bring quarters for the showers. Wifi was temperamental. Management was fairly helpful. The sites were kind of close together, with not much privacy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Park basically has well-maintained grounds and is conveniently located to Port Angeles, but that is about it. Upon arrival, we were given a site that was too small (with a prior reservation) and then we were asked to park our truck somewhere else to make room for other people. There were also a bunch of cigarette butts in our fire pit. In addition, the cable lines had simply been cut. The WiFi was spotty and extremely slow at best (they have a satellite system with an insufficient number of access points). But, the absolute worst was that the manager/owner left me a nasty message on my cell phone our last day there complaining that “your computer system is interfering with our Internet access and would you shut down your system and give someone else a chance." First of all, what she was saying was ludicrous. She thought that because she could see our network (internal network only between two computers within our RV) on her laptop that meant we were somehow taking away from her bandwidth or somehow interfering. She obviously didn’t know how to configure her laptop properly or it is possible that the satellite provider had bottlenecked them for excessive downloads. There were a lot of people on the satellite system, and they obviously do not have the proper setup for that. I would not have minded it so much if the message had been polite and she was just inquiring, but without any knowledge of what she was talking about she just automatically blamed us. It was crazy. I tried to explain to her that another system cannot “interfere” with her system at all. Plus, our system cannot even send and receive except between our two computers. It is only used to access files on each computer from the other and that is it. But, because she has no idea what she is talking about she couldn’t even understand that. I pointed out to her that her system had worked that morning and that was with our system still in place. Anyone who has used an laptop in different areas will know that there can be numerous networks in any given area and you have to choose the network you want to use. They have nothing to do with each other. The people at this RV park are incredibly rude. If anything, we should have gotten a refund for the fact that their system didn’t work properly almost the whole time. Stay away from this park! There are other nice parks including a county park in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park has been upgraded and now has asphalt perimeter roads which helps keep the dirt down. Also has been given the distinction of being a FWS Wildlife Backyard Sanctuary. For birdwatchers it is great! There are many, many different birds attracted by the feeders and ponds. In the laundry is a unisex shower room and a unisex bathroom, so one can shower while their laundry is running. Because there is only one shower in each of the main restrooms, it is nice to have an option of using this other shower. Also tents are allowed within the RV parking area when there is an RV to be parked also. The store has VHS tapes and DVDs for rent. Just let the staff know how they can help you and you will be greeted with a smile. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice campground - quiet. Owners are great. The wifi has great access but the throughput is really slow. Since they are so far from town apparently their only internet access is via satellite. So there is quite a lag between hitting the key and seeing a response. But if you have patience, it works fine. Spots are a bit narrow. Multiple slide outs will fit but it will be tight. There is no cable TV. Use your outside antenna but expect to pick up only a few Canadian stations. We wanted a quiet location with nice amenities close to, but not in, Port Angeles. This was perfect. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Elwha Dam is a very nice, quiet campground with lovely grounds. Although many of the sites lack privacy, ours (#8) is adjacent to a playground and so we only have one neighbor. The campground has free WiFi (not bad quality), 24 hour laundry, and attractive landscaping. The owners live on property in a house attached to the office/store, and are very friendly and give good advice about the area. The only reason I give 8 rather than 10 is that there is only one shower in each restroom, they charge 25 cents for each 3 minutes of hot water and don't provide liquid soap in the restrooms. Please folks, just charge a few bucks extra and give us hot water and a way to wash our hands after we use the john. But aside from those minor quibbles, it's a good value, a nice place to stay (even in peak season) and I'm very glad we moved over here and away from the RV shantytown at Log Cabin "Resort". We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Park is wooded, though sites are quite close together in many cases. Some sites are just twelve feet wide. Our problem was with the management. We made a reservation with a credit card for a pull-through site and were told none was available when we arrived. We had to unhitch and back in. We could not get a signal with our satellite dish or service on our cell phone. The brochure lists six TV channels, but these are only signals you may or may not receive with "rabbit ears". When we left on the second day of our prepaid week we were refused a refund. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautifully maintained with tall trees around and in the park. There are lots of hand carved figures decorating the campground and a play area for the kids. They have a small store with general sundries and dvd's and video's for rent. Propane is also available. Lots of small birds and the odd chipmunk. WiFi is free but very slow. The washrooms and showers were very clean with unique and interesting wallpaper in the laundry room (you'll have to see...). The park is within walking distance of Elwha Dam which apparently is going to be the first dam in the US to be taken out and returned to a salmon spawning river. The walk to the dam is only for the physically fit as it is quite steep however you can drive. There is some traffic noise as the park is not far from the highway but not bothersome. This park is within easy driving distance to a lot of the local attractions. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had reserved 2 "full hookup" sites (for us and traveling companions) several months ago for a visit in July 2006 and thought everything was in order. We were the first to reserve our sites out of a group of 9 trailers traveling together. All others subsequently made their own reservations for "full hookup" sites also months ago. One of the campers called to speak with the owner the other day by phone and was informed that our "group" would not have any "full hookup" sites as she had reserved them for other people and were full up, but we could all be grouped together with one 30amp plug and one water spigot! I called immediately and was told "sorry would you like to cancel?" and I replied seems to me you could tell the other campers that reserved after we did that you had made a mistake and THEY would not have the full hookup spots and was told "sorry I won't do that!". I then told her that I would check and see what other parks were available and she asked again "do you want to cancel?" and I said no, not yet until I call you back and let you know. Well, you guessed it, I called back 2 days later to cancel and she had already canceled us! Beware of the practices at this park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Since our first stay in this park ( Oct. 2002) management had changed and the park was no longer listed with Good Sam Club. We stayed here again because of its peaceful location in a forest and the fact that it is only about a ten minute drive to downtown Port Angeles. The park offers nice walks inside the camp, and to nearby places such as the dam and a senic highway bridge. There are small duck ponds (with ducks), a picnic pavillion, and two acres next to the forest especially for tenters. Sattelite reception is possible from some sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I made a campground reservation for the fourth of July weekend for a Truck with a Camper and a Ford Explorer with a tent. When I showed up for the reservation, they did not honor the reservation that was taken, and I was forced to find other accommodations on Thursday July 2. In addition, one of the employees at the resort was extremely snotty and unpleasant. I would not recommend this place to anyone!!! We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Historic resort with stunning lake and mountain scenery. Unfortunatley during July & August
weekends the operator allows such overcrowding that the National Park experience is spoiled. Visit in off-season and you'll love it. Helpful and friendly staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a rundown park with about two or three sites large enough for larger rigs. There are mostly permanents here in some trailers and single-wide mobiles, but they are quiet. It's very tight and really no place for a larger rig to turn around in. You pull in and then back into your site and then, if you are short enough and no one is on your right, you can turn and pull out. I had to really cramp the wheel and almost jack-knifed pulling out that way, but I didn't hit anything. Most sites are best suited for rigs under 25'. It is however, relatively inexpensive, right in the middle of downtown and easy access to the Victoria ferry. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
In spite of the previous reviews, we decided to stay here because we wanted to be in Port Angeles for the weekend rather than in one of the out of town parks. While I can understand some of the prior negative comments, I do not believe this park is as bad now as it may have been several years ago. There are still many permanent sites and the sites available for overnighters are small and tight. The sites have full hookups with decent cable TV. The park worked for us but probably would not be acceptable to many other RVers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
About the only good thing about this park was its location - right in Port Angeles, letting you walk to everything. A distinct advantage. However, the park is basically a parking lot with mostly seasonal occupants, and pretty rundown. The bathrooms were a disaster. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We chose this park based on its location near the Victoria Ferry, and the pictures on the web site. Twenty sites are occupied by mobile homes that are not well kept. There are many cats roaming the park. The park is not well maintained. Dont be misled by the parks web page. There are better choices within five to ten miles. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is your typical KOA campground.Friendly staff,on-line reservation, and free internet that worked well and was fast. It is on Highway 101 so there is some road noise but it didn't seem to bother us. Sequim is 7 miles east of Port Angeles on highway 101 so it is close to the ferry for those traveling to Victoria. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here in October so it wasn't very busy. Very nice, clean restrooms, nice store, very friendly staff. Highway noise may bother some but we didn't have any problems. Great place to stay to visit Olympic NP the Olympic peninsula. Over 50 cable stations, including ESPN and very good Wi-Fi. Definitely would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It seemed like we must have visited just after the big summer rush because the place was in pretty bad shape especially the rest rooms which were in need of a complete wash down. The showers were so small you almost had to get out to turn around. We only stayed one night; however next time we go to Victoria, BC, we'll stay elsewhere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A small KOA park with some freeway noise. Lots of TV channels. Wi-fi pretty strong, good connection. Sites are gravel, pretty level. Typical average KOA with KOA amenities, pool, store, etc. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is one of those KOAs that seems to be the epitome of the chain. It has a variety of facilities from tent sites to cabins to FHU pull-through sites with cable TV (40+ channels) and Wi-Fi we were able to get our site. There are lots of families and vacationers when in season. Sometimes, a lively park is a nice break from those that are almost too quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Easy to find campground between Sequim and Port Angeles. Our kids had a great time here with all the activities and game room. There was also a pool which looked nice, though it was too cold during our stay to swim. Our site was a pull-through and plenty large for our rig. We had problems with the electrical hookup that the management was unable to resolve, and so we were restricted to 15 amps. Also, we were directly under a huge cottonwood tree that made a mess of our campsite. Office staff was aloof. The campground was certainly adequate. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If I had not had reserved the deluxe spot with the patio I probably would have turned around upon entrance and gone to park in my friend's yard. My first impression was not a good one, but after staying my overall view is that this is an OK KOA. Decent park, friendly people, quiet. Good place for kids; there is an arcade area inside, mini golf that could use some TLC, dog run area. Pool and adult hot tub, neither of which I used. Would I stay here again, probably not just for the fact I have lots of friends in the area with yards I can crash in. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great location off US 101 and just a few minutes from downtown Port Angeles. We used this campground as a base to visit Olympic National Park. The sites were fairly level and have fire rings. The restrooms and showers were very clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a lovely campground! Paved sites beautiful views of the Straits of Juan De Fuca, gorgeous sunsets. Visits from deer every morning, fire pits, playground, the only reason I didnt give it a 10 was not full hookups but an easily accessible dump station and no TV service without a dish but well worth checking out! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nicely run Family-owned/operated park. Spaces are level and roomy enough. They worked with us on a reduced rate for 4 days when we left our trailer here while we visited Victoria, BC. but they were able to do so because school wasn't out and crowds hadn't arrived. However, we appreciated their willingness to work with us on this. The hot tub (for adults only) was a nice feature. Heated pool was good. WiFi was adequate even at far end of park. The only complaint we had about this park is that there is a lot of busy highway noise. Trees dampened the noise at the end closer to the entrance, but the far end lacked the tree buffer. Recommended and would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park's location is perfect for touring the Olympic Peninsula and taking the Black Ball Ferry to Victoria. We stayed here for 4 nights and found the park to have very few people staying there each night. The sights are not very level, the roads are in only in fair condition, and there appears to be some deferred maintenance in the park. Wi-Fi signal is poor at times but at other times worked just fine. The park is just off the highway and there is quite a bit of noise at all hours but it did not disturb our sleep. There are lots of trees and grass between the gravel pads. We would stay here again but felt the rate was very expensive even with a KOA discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A fun park, had nice wide pull through site with a fire pit. Excellent and beautiful views of the mountains. Lots of fun stuff for kids to do. We didn't bring the kids this time so just enjoyed the scenery and playing put put golf. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has 2 "luxury" spaces that are nice. But, still hardly worth the price. Park is OK overall, but has terrific employees and great , (free), WiFi). We might stay again if in the area...... We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for three nights and my overall impression mostly negative. The shower faculties are poorly designed and coupled with the fact they were poorly maintained and always dirty. This park just seemed to be worn out from use and in serious need of being refurbished. The campsites were poorly maintained and overrun with weeds. On the positive side the camp personnel were pleasant and helpful with facilitating our tour packages. We found that there were much better RV parks in this area (Salt Creek.) We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A diverse, KOA campground. Turns are very tight for a big rig. We had to drop the tow'd. Spaces are close-in to your neighbor. WiFi worked great. All facilities were clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is what I call a 50/50 campground. If you do not select the right camp site you could find yourself in a narrow unlevel site with weeds instead of grass, or you could be in level site with lots of room and green grass. The pool is small, any more than 10 people and there is no room to move around. The roads are all gravel and are dusty when dry and muddy when wet. The picnic table at our site was ready to fall apart. The campsite next to us had a dog that continuously did it's business right if front of our trailer. Even after several complaints from us and other campers, the campground management was not able to get the problem solved and did not boot out the offending campers. The mini golf is a joke. I cannot believe they actually charge for that. The campground is by highway 101 and you can hear the road noise if you are at that end of the campground. The good news: the store is ok, fairly good supplies and there is a good variety of videos and dvd movies that you can rent at two dollars each. In general this campground is starting to look run down and it is obvious the owners are not putting in any more than a minimum effort to keep it going. We will not camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice site with room to sit out and enjoy the camp out. Very green sites. Pool was nice, store a little small and stocked okay, but could be better. The wireless internet did not work from our site and I could only get it to work in the game room next to the microwave oven. But then, most KOA WiFi does not work at all, so I guess I it was okay for a KOA. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Loved this KOA! Staff very friendly. I would have rated it a 9 but it is right on Hwy 101, and does get noise from it. Store and game room - well done. They book tours to Victoria with shuttle from ferry to KOA if you book with them. Kamping Kabins are in the trees and nice. Pull thrus are out in open, but well cared for. I would stay here again for sure. If you don't need a pull thru with full hook up, I recommend the sites over by the Kabins in the trees (I think they only have electic and water). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our second stay in as many years. Very nice staff. Very clean. It appears they are creating some new sites with concrete pads (not ready yet though). We prefer the more secluded area away from the highway. Road noise quiets down at night. Nice view of the Olympic Mountains. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is located at the foothills of Hurricane Mountain. The view from the majority of the sites was fantastic of Hurricane Ridge area. Many of the pull thru sites were very spacious, both in length and width. We camped here in May so the campground was fairly empty. The owners were extremely courtious and gladly helped plan day sight-seeing trips. The sites are all fairly level, gravel base, with firepits and picnic tables. Restrooms, showers, office, rec room, and grounds were very clean and well maintained. We would forward to staying here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a great place to watch the ships pass by the Strait. Was well worth the few miles outside of Port Angeles. One of the nicest places we have ever stayed in 12 years on the road. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We didn't actually stay here - we didn't make reservations (they need to be made 2 weeks prior to a visit) so we just tried for one of the 1st come/1st served spots, but they were full. They do save a bunch for last minute people. This was a great looking campground! One area has big open sites for trailers & motorhomes, with views. The other area is back into the trees. We were there on a Monday and it was pretty much packed - tents, trailers, motorhomes, you name it. Good times were being had by all. We'd stop again & try to get a spot. WE DID NOT STAY HERE. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a county park, but very nice by those standards. It has 50 sites or so, each with hookups. AT&T cellular service is overridden by Rogers Cellular from Canada (across the Sound), which makes your calls, texts and data activities international; however AT&T says that they will credit these international costs since we’re really in the US. Park closes the gates at 10PM, so keep this in mind. Easy access to dump station which is included in the camping fee. There are two sets of campsites – the front set and the back set. Best sites in the front set: for back-in trailers, sites 25-32 offer great view of Puget Sound out the back window. Other sites below these back-in the wrong way and the back window doesn’t face the sound. But for motorhomes, the upper or lower sites also offer great views – but the middle row is blocked by the lower row. Many very private tent sites are also available. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I agree that this is a wonderful park. Very clean and well maintained. The park ranger was vary helpful with finding a site. The dump station was under construction when we visited, but, should be finished soon. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
What a great park! Many of the sites a located on the bluffs overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca, so you can sit at your site and watch big ships go by. During low tides you can climb down the access steps and visit the tide pools. The grounds were kept immaculate with lots of grass and tiny daisies all over the fields. Great playground for kids and a neat World War II bunker to visit. Fire rings are available at each site and the camp hosts can sell you some firewood if you forget yours. Showers are 25 cents for 5 minutes. If this park had sewer hookups I would have given it a higher rating. Overall, we really liked Salt Creek Park and will definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Well tended, very attractive grounds. Limited hook-ups that can accommodate big rigs with a pull-through. Some back-in sites with utilities. Level, well maintained grassy sites with good separation between sites. Dump is unique -- following the arrows requires driving through a very low tunnel (12 foot height limit), an old gun emplacement site consisting of concrete bunkers. Dump can be reached by backing in the out road, approximately 150 feet from the intersection. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Wow. Awesome place. You can camp dry in a wooded point over looking the ocean and Canada or with hookups with almost a 180 degree view of the straight of Juan de Fuca. The park is on the East side of the point so there wasn't much fog or rain compared to cities like Forks. There is also a great play ground my kids just loved. This was a good location for our trips to the various spots of the Olympic National Park, and a short trip to Victoria. Just about every morning and evening we had deer in the grass outside our trailer. The park sits on an old WWII gun battery. You can climb in the old observation bunkers and when you dump you have to drive right through the bunker where the 16 inch guns were located. There was also a nice bay to to the west of the camp ground. We saw a whale one morning and a bald eagle every day. The only bad thing about the place was the gate was closed at 10. I had to carry my asleep five year old two hundred yards to our trailer after a long day in Victoria. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Quite a few miles west of Port Angeles, but worth the drive. Spectacular view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca from your front window. Cargo, ferry, and passenger ships frequent this strait. Interior roads and sites are paved. Sites are not real level, but workable. Central dump station was closed during our visit, but was to open soon. Stayed on Site 9 in a 45 foot motorhome. Park easily handles big rigs. No reservations, so arrive early. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have been full timing for 10 years and have stayed in many types of campgrounds. In our prior experiences with county campgrounds, they have been either very bad or very good with little in between. Salt Creek is one of the very best campgrounds we have ever been to. Sites are level and easy to get into and out of; no rocks, posts, etc. Ocean views from the hook-up area are spectacular. The sites in the wooded no hook up area are mostly short, but there are about a dozen sites that would accommodate a 30+ foot rig. In order to reach the dump station, must go through a 12' 5" tunnel, too low for our 12' 10" rig. Campground host says it is possible to back the 0.1 mile into the dump station; we chose to dump at our next destination. Most RVs had Washington license plates; fellow campers were unusually quiet and considerate. No reservations-hooray! Starts to fill up mid-afternoon and full by Thursday evening for the weekend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A large variety of sites that should suit everyone. We were prepared to camp without hookups and that's what we chose. We had a woodsy site with stairs down to the water. Lots of hiking trails. Though our hike up to Striped Peak was cut short due to the closeness of gunshots. Camp hosts were very nice and fellow campers were quiet. There is a very nice children's play area and basketball courts. This is a well known area for tide pool exploration. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
There are 39 newly upgraded w/e sites in a meadow with a great view.There are 51 non-utility in a treed section. The rates are actually $20 for county res and $22 for non. The tent sites are $14 and $16..This a great place place with nothing to do but scuba dive,fish off the rocks,tide pool at low tide, some hiking and a lot of sitting and looking at the water. No res as yet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is in a good location if you are taking a few days to visit the north side of Olympic National Park. The campground is clean and quiet, but the sites are short and narrow with no privacy. Trees are behind each campsite. The campground is also terraced into a steep hillside with three separate levels. Big rigs were staying there, but they took up their entire site. We had to park our SUV perpendicular to our camper in order for it to fit. Sites are not paved, but fairly level. Cost of showers is not included in the overall daily rate, so be sure to have several quarters on hand if you use their facility. Nice large laundry room with two coin-operated washers and dryers as well as a large table for folding. Nicely stocked General Store with espresso and ice cream for a bed-time treat! Gas and propane also available. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
