Queets Campground

This National Park campground has a lot of spectacular and secluded sites. Many of the sites are right up against the Queets river, all are surrounded by large trees that are covered in moss and other foliage. I was here for only one night in early May and was very lucky with the weather. It was mostly sunny and not a drop of rain.
All the sites have a picnic table and a fire ring. There are a couple pit toilets in the campground but no running water (other than the river!).
Most of the sites are large enough for a truck, van or small trailer. Anything over 20 feet would have a tough time getting into may sites and with the road in.

This place is terrible. The road here is so gnarly. A friend of mine got stuck so bad meeting me here that he had to get towed out. No cell service or legitimate bathrooms either. If you come here make sure you always have a close eye on your vehicle & kids. Ran into a ranger here that was investigating a pile of elk guts & remains right by camp. He said somebody was out there poaching. This was especially scary to me thinking that some shady character was illegally killing animals so close to where my family was camped. Saw quite a few bears prowling around camp too. Way better camping spots elsewhere.

I have been going to this place for years but it has rapidly gone downhill. Not the fault of the Forest Service but by lousy careless campers. Lots of trash strewn about and can be very noisy at times. There is a sign that clearly advises against large trailers or RV's using the road in but most don't listen and wind up getting stuck. There are plenty of wild animals around so be cautious. Last time I went hiking there I came across a rather large black bear. Luckily it was a male and didn't seem to care that I was there. It could be nice again if it gets some attention but just be advised. It's a long haul in on a very rough road and if it does happen to get filled up, you will have a very long drive back out.
