Trip planning Upper Washington State US 101

Trust me I have been there many times. Stay in Sequim everything you need is there and everything you want to see is close. Lapush beach is beautiful the rest not so much. Go to hurricane ridge and the Hoh rainforest for sure. Sequim has a micro climate that leaves it dry and sun shine 300 days a year. We like Rainbow rv park nice, big trees, big rigs work. From here you are close to everything on the North OP.

If you want to see more go over the hill to Forks. More to see With some great beaches.
have fun

My favorite park in that area is Rest-A-While a bit south of Port Angeles. We first stayed there many years ago by chance. It is not much to boast about, full hookups in a parking lot, BUT, the sites are right up on the Hood River Canal. Just sitting there, watching the tide come in and out, watching the eagles, even clamming. It was perfect. It stayed in my memory for many years, and finally last year we returned, to stay 5 days and use it as our basecamp. It was just as perfect. Your are really a pretty good drive to Port Angeles on the North and civilization on the South. The little crab shack at the end of the park was pretty good too. The spots easily fit the biggest big rig, but again, nothing fancy.

Dennis,
We just did this trip a couple months ago and even though we live close, we had never been to LaPush. As far as beach camping, it was our opinion that it's the most incredible spot we've even been to and that's including multiple trips through Oregon and California. The beach is awesome and listening to those waves crash all night long was great.
The road is no problem. They have a number of pull thru sites and when we were there, they were completely empty.

The only knock that we had was that there were a number of men on the beach early in the morning that were drinking heavily and continued to do so all day and then well into the night. The next morning I stepped out of the rig to find one of them sleeping face down in the dirt next to our campsite. They were zero problem but certainly added a different vibe to our camping stay. Also, depending on whether you have dogs or not. We try to keep our dogs on leashes but this beach was leash free and there were many dogs running around. Again, not a problem but we did have to shoo them away to prevent a dog fight.

With all that said, the beach, the driftwood that they let you burn for fires and the full hookups really made for a great time.

Good luck and have fun........john
