"Reviews for Satsop Campground are overwhelmingly positive, consistently giving 5/5 stars across multiple years. Campers highlight the peaceful forest setting, proximity to a lake and waterfalls, good facilities (including rooms, hookups, showers, and group areas), and especially the friendly, accommodating hosts. Several reviewers describe it as a hidden gem they plan to return to, and one notes that it is closing at the end of December 2023."

Planning Tips

    About Satsop Campground

    Tucked into the emerald embrace of Olympic National Forest, Satsop Campground offers a peaceful woodland retreat where towering evergreens and stately hardwoods create a natural canopy above your campsite. Just a stone's throw from the West Fork of the Satsop River and a short 2.5-mile journey from the shores of Wynoochee Lake, this well-appointed campground welcomes both RV adventurers and tent campers with a thoughtful mix of standard sites, secluded walk-in spots, and group camping areas. Modern conveniences like drinking water and trash collection blend seamlessly with the forest setting, giving you comfort without sacrificing that authentic wilderness experience.
    Mixed campground with tent, walk-in group tent sites, and RV sites (including sites with full hookups and a few without hookups); total of 19 sites.
