Best Campgrounds near Neah Bay, WA

673 Reviews

Neah Bay on Washington's northwestern tip sits close to the Pacific Ocean and thick forests. A short drive away, Olympic National Park has many camping spots, with the Hoh area known for its rainforest. Campers at Ozette Campground can hike the Ozette Loop Trail. The coastline here has great views and lots of wildlife. The roads to these campsites can be narrow and winding, so trucks or SUVs work better. You'll need permits for overnight camping in certain spots, and always check if fires are allowed. Book ahead during summer months as spots fill up fast. Forks is the closest town for groceries and supplies. Trails range from flat walks to steep hikes that work for different skill levels. Fishing is good both in local rivers and along the coast. Pack rain gear since this area gets wet often. The quiet, natural setting feels far from city life. Always pack out what you pack in to keep the area clean for others.
