Summary

These are dispersed-style campsites—no established pads—with pit toilets nearby, but no potable water, picnic tables, or fire rings (campfires prohibited). RVs and hookups are not accessible. A wilderness permit (no fee) is required, and reservations are needed via Recreation.gov during peak season. Surrounded by lush rainforest along the Quinault River, the area is ideal for backpackers seeking solitude, with nearby trails leading to waterfalls and alpine vistas. Best visited from late spring to early fall when trail conditions are favorable.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
