Overview
A brief introduction to Olympic National Park
With its incredible range of precipitation and elevation, diversity is the hallmark of Olympic National Park. Encompassing nearly a million acres, the park protects a vast wilderness, thousands of years of human history, and several distinctly different ecosystems, including glacier-capped mountains, old-growth temperate rain forests, and over 70 miles of wild coastline. Come explore!
The Olympic Peninsula is a large arm of land in western Washington that lies across Puget Sound from Seattle, and contains Olympic National Park. It is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, the north by the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the east by Hood Canal. Cape Alava, the westernmost point in the contiguous United States, and Cape Flattery, the northwesternmost point, are on the peninsula. Comprising about 3,600 square miles (9,300 km2), the Olympic Peninsula contained many of the last unexplored places in the contiguous United States. It remained largely unmapped until Arthur Dodwell and Theodore Rixon mapped most of its topography and timber resources between 1898 and 1900.

Seven lakes basin (aka the high divide)
I’ve backpack this 20 mile loop the last three summers. It’s beautiful and popular. If you can go during the week , there are less people

Great for visiting Rialto
I try to make it a point to stay at Mora at least once during the summer. It's a good size campground with decent size spots, you might be able to do 2 small tents. I sleep in my vehicle so my biggest requirement is a flat parking spot. The campground is clean as are the bathrooms. I don't think I've ever spoken to a ranger there. There is so much green and the sites are pretty private. Rialto beach is about 1.5 miles down the road. Check to the tides before going out and think about walking out to Hole in the Wall. Absolutely worth it. So many tidepools!

Great Camping for Hot Weather
We were able to snag FCFS spots 2 weekends before memorial day. This was the first time I had stayed at this particular campground. Bathrooms were clean, site was mostly maintained ( The weeds under the site picnic table were out of control, but it's still early in the season). It was easy to get down to the beach. I would definitely go back.

Great Oceanfront Camping
Great location right on a sandy beach. The site was large and felt private. The bathrooms are clean. It was a good location to explore the more southern parts of the Olympic national park.
