RV campground on the Bogachiel River near Forks in the heart of Olympic Peninsula rainforest. Six water/electric hookup sites and a dump station; Hoh Rainforest is 20 miles east.
Bogachiel State Park sits on the banks of its namesake river — one of the wild salmon waterways draining out of Olympic National Park — in the old-growth rainforest corridor south of Forks. The 123-acre park is blanketed in Sitka spruce and western red cedar, the kind of forest where the canopy closes overhead and the light turns green. It's a quiet, under-visited campground that mostly serves people who know the Olympic Peninsula well.
Six west-loop sites have water and electric hookups (up to 40 feet). The remaining west-loop sites are hookup-free standard sites that accommodate RVs and are positioned along the river — the east loop (sites 30–42) is tent-only. Highway 101 runs along the eastern edge of the campground, and log trucks hauling timber out of the Hoh Valley use it around the clock. Request a west-facing river site if noise is a concern; the river provides good sound cover on that side.
Forks is 6 miles north with a full grocery store, fuel, and basic supplies. Hoh Rainforest — one of only a few temperate rainforests in the United States — is about 20 miles east on Upper Hoh Road. The Hall of Mosses trail is 45 minutes of walking and one of the most distinctive landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort is 30 miles northeast; Ruby Beach and the Pacific coastline are 30 miles south on US-101.
Olympic National Park begins just miles from the campground — the Bogachiel River Trail heads directly into the park's wilderness from a trailhead 3 miles north. Hoh Rainforest is 20 miles east via Upper Hoh Road, and Sol Duc Valley is 30 miles northeast on US-101. Ruby Beach on the Pacific Coast is 30 miles south.

Sites 1–6 are the hookup sites (water and electric, up to 40 ft) in the west loop — book these first if you need power. For non-hookup RV sites in the west loop (sites 7–29), request the river-facing side: the Bogachiel River is audible and the old-growth canopy is at its thickest here. Avoid the US-101-adjacent sites on the east side of the loop — log trucks run that highway through the night. The east loop (sites 30–42) is tent-only.
