Flick Creek campground
Flick Creek
The campground offers amenities such as picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets. There are no hookups or showers available, and visitors are advised to bring their own water.
Interesting facts about the area include that the Elwha Dam removal was the largest dam removal project in history, and it has resulted in the return of salmon and other fish species to the river. The Olympic Hot Springs were once used by Native American tribes for their healing properties, and the area was later popularized by early European settlers.
The best time of year to visit the Flick Creek camping area is from late spring to early fall when the weather is mild and the average temperatures range from 50-70°F. It is important to note that the campground is only accessible via a 3.5-mile hike, so visitors should be prepared for a moderate level of physical activity.
