Have stayed at Rainbows end a couple of times. It can be a bit tight,but is so much closer to town. There are also several membership parks nearbye. As far as seeing the park,that's a larger undertaking which involves several moves. If you're wanting to do that,you'll want to start at Hoodsport with a trip up to Lake Cushman and the Staircase area. Then up around the Hamma Hamma river area and next is the Quilcene side trips. These are all road trips that will let you see some of the outer edges of the park.Once you get to the Port Angeles area,the views are absolutely awesome from Hurricane ridge and then there's the Elwha River,where they are taking out the upstream dams and you can see what is happening there. Another couple of days can be spent visiting Neah Bay,the Forks area,the Hoh river and then down to Lake Quinalt. It's a trip that can take a day or so,but you're not gonna see much.There are pretty nice campgrounds all along the way.
