About Elwha Dam RV Park

Also has a laundry

Nestled in the scenic Pacific Northwest, Elwha Dam RV Park offers an exceptional base for exploring one of Washington's most captivating regions. Located in Port Angeles, this 75-site park provides convenient access to some of the area's most treasured natural attractions and outdoor experiences that draw visitors from across the country.

Port Angeles sits on the northern tip of the Olympic Peninsula, a location blessed with remarkable geographic diversity. The town serves as the gateway to Olympic National Park, one of America's most impressive and varied national parks. Within the park's nearly one million acres, visitors discover temperate rainforests with massive Sitka spruces and western red cedars, alpine meadows ablaze with wildflowers, and pristine coastline featuring sea stacks and tide pools teeming with marine life. The famous Hoh Rain Forest is just a short drive away, offering trails through some of the most lush and green landscapes in North America where moss-draped trees create an almost otherworldly atmosphere.

The immediate area surrounding Port Angeles offers abundant recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. The Dungeness Spit, a natural barrier beach extending into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, provides excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing, beachcombing, and photography. Birdwatchers find the area particularly rewarding, with opportunities to spot bald eagles, herons, and numerous migratory species throughout the year. The waters of the strait attract whale watchers, especially during migration seasons when orcas and gray whales pass through.

For those interested in water-based activities, the location provides easy access to fishing opportunities, kayaking, and boating. The surrounding mountains offer hiking trails ranging from easy walks to challenging alpine adventures. Winter visitors appreciate the proximity to Hurricane Ridge, where snow-covered peaks provide stunning views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca toward Vancouver Island.

Port Angeles itself has developed into a charming coastal town with local restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions. The ferry terminal here connects travelers to Victoria, British Columbia, making it possible to extend your adventure into Canada. This makes Elwha Dam RV Park an ideal launching point whether you're planning a week-long exploration of Olympic National Park, a weekend getaway focused on coastal scenery, or a multi-week Pacific Northwest adventure. Families, nature lovers, photographers, and outdoor adventurers all find plenty to enjoy in this remarkable corner of Washington State.
