Campgrounds and RV parks near Port Angeles East, WA

Port Angeles East sits on the north Olympic Peninsula along US Highway 101, with the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north and Olympic National Park immediately to the south. The area works well as a single base for RV travellers visiting both Hurricane Ridge and the Sequim and Dungeness areas, since most attractions are within a 30 to 45 minute drive. The closest full-hookup option is the Olympic Peninsula / Port Angeles KOA Journey, located between Port Angeles and Sequim. It offers full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service, pull-through and standard sites, laundry, hot showers, and a dump station. Elwha RV Park and Rainbow's End RV Park provide additional private RV options west and east of town, and Sequim West RV Park serves travellers planning to spend time near Sequim and Dungeness Spit. For a national-park experience, Heart of the Hills Campground sits inside Olympic National Park on the road up to Hurricane Ridge. It is surrounded by old-growth forest near Port Angeles and serves as a launchpad for Hurricane Ridge hiking and mountain views.

Private RV parks in the area, including the Olympic Peninsula / Port Angeles KOA Journey, Elwha RV Park, Rainbow's End RV Park, and Sequim West RV Park, accept advance reservations directly through their websites or by phone. Summer weekends and the period around Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day book out earliest, so reserve well ahead for July and August. National park rules are different. Kalaloch and Sol Duc Hot Springs accept advance reservations; Kalaloch is on a six-month rolling schedule through Recreation.gov, and Sol Duc accepts reservations via Recreation.gov or by calling the resort directly. Fairholme is also on Recreation.gov during peak season, with availability released on a six-month rolling basis. Heart O' the Hills remains first-come, first-served year-round, so arriving early in the day is recommended during peak summer months and weekends.
