Hi,I am looking for suggestions on places to camp (with travel trailer), and outdoor recreation, in the Port Angeles area in mid-July. My wife will be taking a quilting (actually, a Fabric Painting) class there at that time and one option was for me to tag along and hang-out for the five days of the class. During the day, after I dropped my wife off at the class, I would most likely go hiking with my dog. So where ever we camped (and I recreated) would need to be dog friendly (I have no problems with my dog being on a leash but I want her with me). Lastly, since I will be dropping my wife off and picking her up every day, I wouldn't want to be too far from town.Any suggestions or thoughts?Thanks,Steve

Salt Creek County Park is very nice.

It's been a few years, but we enjoyed the Port Angeles KOA when we last stayed in the area.

Fort Warden is a great place to stay great RV spots not close to your neighbor lots of room. Also great place to hike and dogs are welcome. Great beaches to explore and the Point Wilson light house is a lot of fun as well. Very reasonably priced also.

I suggest the KOA between Port Angeles and Sequim. You're going to be close enough that after you drop of your wife you'll be able to take walks with your dog. There is a nice county park trail system in Sequim, which is about 15 miles east of Port Angeles. Be aware that the Fed Gov't is a big presence on this part of the Olympic Peninsula: Hurricane Ridge and Dungeness Spit are awesome places to hike and walk, but your dog will have to stay in the car. Because of that we found alternate places for this, hence: the county park trail and Salt Creek is a good place for pets.Ft. Worden SP is about 45-50 miles east, and Salt Creek is 15-20 miles to the west of Port Angeles.

While we were in the area we stayed at about the only CAMPground we could find in the area which was Hurricane Ridge (inside the park). Beautiful drive getting there and nice scenery once there. Lots of RV parks in the area if that's what you're looking for.

I also recommend Salt Creek. We have stayed there twice and enjoy the area.
