Located at the northern end of the Olympic National Park, Salt Creek Campground is without doubt one of the best campgrounds in Washington State.

The views around the campground are breathtaking, surrounded by forest with the constant sound of the ocean close by. The tidal pools will provide endless fun for the kids and adults alike.

The campground itself is in two sections, a large open grassy field with hook-ups, and the other a loop through a forested area. The forested section is lovely but really only suited to smaller RV’s.

All the facilities are maintained to a high standard, and the park ranger is friendly and helpful.
