We really enjoyed our stay here! Our site was hidden back in the woods. It felt very private.
We even rented electric bikes here. There is a trail nearby which goes many places, including Port Angeles and into Olympic National Park.
They have an outdoor door pizza oven and made pizzas one of the nights!

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 chose this park based on previous reviews. The interior roads are a bit tight but doable, just go slow. The spacing is close but adequate. The owners are friendly and helpful. Their daughter does dog sitting and she took care of ours two days and they seemed quite content each day we returned. This park is close to drive into Port Angeles or to see the park. With our truck we are 55', so had one of the newer sites in the back. We fit fine and there were motor homes on each side of us during part of our stay which were much longer and they did not have any issues. Laundry room and bathrooms were immaculate! Laundry was 2.50 per machine but appeared new and the dryers only took one cycle, even for towels. Nice areas for walking dogs. We would stay again if in the area.

We stayed here on the recommendation of a friend. It is a difficult park to rate because the two sections are so different. We stayed in the nice, long, premium pull through sites in the back which are very nice, level, and have good spacing and grass lawns, fire pit, picnic table, and FHU 50 amp. All sites are gravel. The rest of the campground is older and sites are haphazard, close, tough to get into, and not as level. I would definitely use Google Earth to look at sites if booking any site other than the premium sites. A few are right on the park roads and have no outside area. Our site was in the very back and extremely quiet. These sites also have no shade so they are perfect for roof top satellite dishes. The roads within the park are narrow, but we didn't have an difficulties coming in or leaving. We had a guide take us to our site. The park owners are very friendly. This is a perfect location to visit Port Angeles and Olympic NP. Park WiFi didn't work well and we had to use our booster with our phone hot spot.

Elwha is the best dam RV park in all of Washington (sorry, had to go there).
All kidding aside, Elwha Dam RV Park is truly wonderful. Tons of full hookup RV sites, with plenty of pull-throughs for all rigs, and towards the back of the park up the hill a bit, a nice selection of tent sites with plenty of trees and bushes for privacy.
The owners in the process of hooking up more and more of the tent sites with partial hookups (water and electric), which is nice if you have a trailer or 5th wheel as you can avoid Sardine Alley where the Motor Homes just all park up along side each other.
The park is well maintained (great showers and restrooms), a nice new club house, laundry, and more. The park's location is pretty much perfect too, with a great many sights to visit in all directions. We would certainly use this campground again as a base for the Olympic Peninsula.

This campground has the nicest owners of any campground we have ever been to. They are the most helpful and accommodating people and we really enjoyed our stay. We prefer sites with trees and privacy. At first we were in a full hookup pull-through with neighbors, but they let us move to a larger, private tent site with trees. The tent site had water and electric and they have a pump out service so we were happier in that site. We travel fulltime and it can be hard to get caught up on mail and deliveries on the road; I was very thankful that they allowed me to have packages delivered there. It can also be hard to find places to get my hair done on the road. I went to Envy Hair Techniques in Port Angeles and Holly did a fantastic job on my hair. This RV park is a perfect location for visiting the area. We visited Olympic National Park and took the ferry to Victoria, BC. Olympic is huge so it's a bit of a drive to some of the sections but close to Hurricane Ridge. There is so much to do in this section of WA that we didn't get to do everything we wanted to so we hope to come back again someday. Verizon and AT&T both worked well there.

This RV park is in a great location- close to town (and ferries), and parts of the Olympic National Park including Hurricane Ridge. It is also a 5 minute drive from a public beach access with amazing sunset views.
The owners were very friendly and accommodating we called last minute trying to book spots for us and our friends rigs. We ended up in a tent site that had a power line run to it and our friends with a larger rig ended up in an overflow spot that had partial hook ups. The tent side was nicer in that it gave us a little more space and privacy from our neighbors while their overflow spot had more of a parking lot feel.
The park seems like it wasn’t planned and things were just kind of thrown where they fit that gives it a lot of character. Some spots even have little ponds with fountains. The restrooms and showers were clean and nice although the shower was coin activated in an effort to conserve water.

We normally prefer camping in national parks, state parks & forests, but this private park was a nice little oasis on the Olympic Peninsula. It was a perfect location to visit Hurricane Ridge and the north side of Olympic National Park. Groceries and the ferry were very convenient in nearby Port Angeles. The owners were very helpful with information on what to do in the area. Site 38 was separated from the others and next to a pond. Much nicer that the pull throughs in my opinion. We went to sleep at night with the sound of the frogs! Very peaceful. Good wifi. The bathhouse was exceptionally clean. The only ding I would give is that the showers were pay, but with full hookup that was not a problem for us. We would definitely return if we are in the area.
