This 16-campsite campground is located along the Sol Duc River. Visitors to the campground can take a hiking trail to the river and fish along its banks. Amenities include a scenic overlook, two toilets. Campsites can accommodate up to a 30-foot RV, though size may vary by site.
Directions: Located on the south side of US Highway 101 at milepost 206.
Small campground with tent and RV sites. It's right off hwy 101, so there can be a lot of road noise at times. During my three night stay the single vault toilet was quite clean, with surprisingly very little odor, but no toilet paper, hence the three star rating. Also bring trash bags, as you will need to pack your trash out, there are no bins.
edit after the night: omg tons of mosquitoes.
Lots of road and chainsaw noise during the day and the sites are not as private as Cottonwood. The accesible sites look pretty cool and have some balcony overlooks built into them. 2 pit toilets. Bring lots of water, there is none here and if you filter the river is a ways down. More bugs here for some reason, maybe bc it's a little warmer. I came at 1pm on a Monday in late July and about 6 of 13 sites had people set up. Lots of trees, you could hang a hammock at most sites. Picnic table and firepit at each. Make sure to have your Discover pass, too. And take out all of your garbage. Thanks!
I like this place. One thing to point out is if you are wanting complete solitude of hearing no cars, this place would not be for you. This sits right off highway 101. There are 16 campsites. They very in sizes. Not all have picnic benches. Some sites are ADA. This campsite has pit toilets and no potable water. There are some sites that would fit a pop up trailer or a small RV, and a small trailer. No big 5th wheels for sure. The pit toilets are less then attractive, there is some black mold on the side walls that are wood. That didn't bother us. There are a couple of trails that leed down to the Sol Duc River. When you get to the river its an only look how pretty it is and then head back to your camp. There is nowhere to really just hangout. There are lots of mosquitoes there. There were some sites that were not clean from previous campers as they left a big bag of garbage there in the bushes. You must pack out what you packed in. You could tell it was a family that had kids as there were juice boxes, diapers, fruit snacks that was strung from the critters getting into it. There are no garbage dumpsters at this campground. This campground is right by a very quaint local cafe called The Hungry Bear. We ate there on our last day and it was really good. They also sell ice and camp wood that is kiln dried. Lots of different birds to hear. Seen some eagles. However early mornings around 5:30am there is some strange bird that is extremely loud and wakes you up. We camped for 4 days and it happened everyday. Don't know what type of bird it was. But that was annoying for sure.
Nice, convenient campground right off the 101 but we heard very little traffic noise. Free with Discover Pass. Sites were very secluded, limited sun so we didn't get much from our solar panels but I'd definitely stay again. Sol Duc river runs right by the camp with a trail running alongside, very nice and the little diner right outside the entrance was great. Toilets were pit toilets so not the greatest but for free in a beautiful setting can't complain too much.
Excellent clean little campground with vault toilets. No trash service, typical DNR site. Surrounded by beautiful views and hooting owls. All back-in sites, and one pull-through site for RVs/trailers (though not many people seem to know that's what it's for so it kept getting taken by pickup folks).
