About this campground

Graves Creek Campground in Olympic National Park offers 30 tent and small RV (RVs see note below) sites on the rain forest side of the park. Depending upon season and road conditions this campground is subject to closure or hike-in only status. NOTE: As of 2016/ 2017 the campground is NOT accessible by vehicles; it is hike-in/ bike-in only. Campers must park along the road about 1 mile from the campground. The campground is rapidly being reclaimed by nature. Sites are quickly being overgrown. The restrooms are closed, no water is available and no service is provided; pack out what you pack in. Near the banks of the Quinault River the campground is situated in a forested setting. Amazingly the NPS still charges a fee to camp here when clearly there is no plan to re-open the road or maintain the campground. Being said this is an excellent way for novices to become familiar with back country camping.

What campers say

Graves Creek Campground is a quiet, secluded rainforest spot with old‑growth trees and mossy scenery. Sites are spacious and often set back from — or right on — the creek, offering river access for cooling off and peaceful water sounds. The area is remote: expect a long gravel/dirt lane (rough in places) and limited cell service. Facilities are minimal — basic pit/vault toilets and no potable water — so bring your own supplies. Great for tent camping and small campers, with nearby trailheads (including the Graves trail toward Enchanted Valley) and excellent night skies, but RVs may struggle on the road.
