The perfect RV road trip to Olympic National Park

Written by Jeremy Puglisi

Located on the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest corner of Washington state, Olympic National Park is nothing less than breathtaking. Yellowstone and Yosemite may be more famous, but Olympic’s geographic diversity is simply unrivaled in the U.S. Where else in the country can you find snow-capped mountains, temperate rainforest, and rugged coastline all within a few hours of each other?

Olympic is also particularly well-suited for RV adventures. There are a variety of private campgrounds around the park that offer amenities and full hookups, and 10 rustic NPS campgrounds within the park accept RVs up to 35 feet. For the most part, the roads are also easy to navigate and traverse. Make sure to pack layers. Temperatures in the park can vary widely, and depending on the season, rain is often a possibility.

Here are some of the best spots to eat, sleep, drink, and recreate in Olympic National Park. You will find dozens of other hidden gems too, but these 10 should not be missed.
