Summary

These sites are for non-motorized travelers only and offer basic amenities: pit toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings or grills. No RV access or hookups. Expect established campsites, not dispersed camping. Most are nestled in scenic, forested settings near popular trails, lakes, or coastlines—like at Cape Disappointment or Moran State Park. The atmosphere is peaceful, designed for quiet rest after a day on the trail or road. Best time to visit is late spring through early fall for optimal weather and trail access.

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.
