Elwha RV Park

Rate above is for a week. As others have noted, the new owners (as of May 2015) are wonderful and excited about their park. The campground has two sections, the old section (close to the office) is wooded with mostly back-in sites, and has a number of full-time residents (relatively tidy/clean) in the spaces around the perimeter. The new section is all pull-throughs for big rigs along a hill with no trees. We were in the last site of the new section. This site's camping-side grass area was much smaller than the other pull-throughs (i.e. fairly close to our neighbor), but being the last site meant our curb-side had a nice unobstructed view of the field where the owners' horses grazed every day. Some of the campground's sites were a little close together, but none were right on top of each other, so we were satisfied with the spacing, even for our smallish site. The pond, field, playground and other features gave the park a nice rustic feel. The loop trail and dam trail were great for walking our active dog. The WiFi was unusably slow most of the time, but our Verizon jetpack had excellent signal. Our AT&T phones worked but had a weak signal and slow data speeds. During the day there was some noise from trucks on the nearby highway but at night it was silent. Fire rings are available from the office. We'd definitely stay here again if in the area.

We had a great time camping here. The owners were super helpful giving us local attractions and offering suggestions of when/where to go at what times. We had booked an overflow site, but a full hook-up site had become available. We took the hook-ups. We were informed at check-in that Wifi was down, and hopefully it would be repaired by end of day(Friday). It was not repaired for the weekend, so if this is a deal breaker for you, inquire before booking. We had slow cell phone data(I am on Google Fi, and the wife has Verizon). The park is great looking with playgrounds for children, a volleyball court, and a short distance to some hiking trails nearby. We were in the area to visit family, and see the local sites Had a great time, and would stay again if in the area. We stayed in the older part of the park, were the long term normally stay. Our site was very narrow with a storage shed on the site. The picnic table and fire pit were behind our trailer, and with our kitchen slide out we were unable to get to the back without walking around the front of the trailer. We did not mind, as we were out of camp, except at night, and did not use these amenities. Hope this helps. As stated before, we would happily stay here again.

We found this RV park very well run with good utilities and clean showers/restrooms. On site mini-store with movies checkouts was a plus. The friendly competent staff made a special effort to assist our needs and helped out any way they could. The camp set up has a casual feel but is well planned to accommodate both large and small RVs plus secluded campsites. Loved the location with its proximity to Port Angeles and Olympic NP but was located off the highway for a quieter feel. I would definitely seek out this camp if in the area again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Elwha Dam RV Park. The hosts were very friendly & accommodating. We had a nice pass through site that easy accommodated our 33 foot Airstream Classic Trailer & Ford F 250. Firewood was also readily available.

Elwha Dam RV Park is in a lovely setting with nearby trails adjacent to the park. The spaces are a decent size and they have a garden with fresh vegetables for their guests to harvest. Very clean showers and laundry room. The even have a kitchen with a stove for guests to use.

The owners went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be. Highly recommend.

I was looking forward to staying here and checking out the area of Port Angeles. We conversed through email and they sent me a photo of a spot they wondered if I could fit. I looked at the photo (attached), they said it was where the cabover camper was. I said sure! I thought it was the entire length of the gravel area (A&B) but it turns out it was JUST A! A, B & C are all three separate sites. When we got there, a 5th wheel was in B, encroaching a bit (according to the manager) into our spot. Luckily the motorhome it C allowed me to pull into C but take the truck out through their site. We also had our trailer up on quite an incline, the tail-end was just hanging out there. The other manager said they need to rethink some of their sites, I would think so! The park itself is very quaint and quirky. Good bathrooms. Decent WiFi until everyone else was on it. AT&T sucked. Our spot had many trees so I was only able to get one of three satellites on my receiver but I learned, sometimes that is enough. I would stay there again but in a different spot.

Staff was very nice! Campground layout needs to be rethought. Not really a great spot for very large 5th wheels.

The real problem is they charge you for showers, (4 Quarters for 6 min) took 4 min just to warm up and then shut off at 6 min. 4 more quarters and this time it took a little more than 3 min to heat up. If I want to pay for metered showers Ill stay at a Flying J/Loves/Pilot. If the water usage is costing too much compared to rates or your systems are not adequate, raise the rates and upgrade the systems.

Camping here is OK. The front desk clerk was very nice and helpful. Most of the sites are very tight. It was quiet and safe and a good place to do laundry and have hookups, but not a great value at nearly $50.

If you stay here, choose sites 20-22; back ins with hookups. These lots have more elbow room than the "fishbowl" we stayed in.
We stayed in January, and we know this is a hoppin' place in the summer, so we didn't concern ourselves with the dinginess and soggy grounds. Our biggest suggestion would be NOT to choose lot #9. I had about 3 feet to my neighbor's trailer, and the camp host's home/office was overlooking my rig on the other side. We blame ourselves for the location. We'd go back for sites 20-22.

Close to several nice areas and attractions including Port Angeles waterfront, Lake Crescent and about a dozen waterfalls, including a 100-ft waterfall and a rain forest. Everything we go camping for. Forks is an hour away if you are a Twilight fan.

Overall, the park was a nice park, with friendly staff and would be a fun stay in summer. Just don't stay in spot #9.

This is a great campground with a quirky set-up. Many of the sites marked for tents will actually hold rigs and it feels like you find little turns and campers scattered around this large campground. Run by a family, it has a very friendly atmosphere with a community garden that you can take produce from and a Wednesday pizza night. They supply all the fixings, you make a pizza and they fire it in the outdoor pizza oven. The sites are level and easily accommodate the rigs. The camp is very clean and surrounded by trees as well as a few great trails to stretch your legs. It is a easy drive into Port Angeles or into Olympic National Park.

When we decided to stay an additional night, they were full but allowed us to boondock in their back area. Check in was easy and the host went over all the nearby sites, trails and drive times. Super nice and responded quickly to questions during our stay.
