I was going through my camping pictures and thought I'd make a couple entries for everyone.
Olympic NP is a wonderful destination vacation. It can be a wet experience but if you are able to get there in July and August and have a little luck with the weather it is wonderful. There are several nice campgrounds to choose from. Kalaloch is at the top of bluff overlooking the ocean, Mora is in the forest with nice trails to the beaches and the Hoh campground is in a high rainfall area (in a rainforest) with oversized trees and moss hanging off every branch. Don't count on luck, be prepared for rain. While I was there the town of forks was overrun by some kind of vampire (twilight) craze. I think the books are centered around forks.
We had a campsite in the Hoh along the river, an elk visited us while we were setting up. At one point he was within 15 feet of our tent.
There are several easy trails around the Hoh campground.
There can be interesting stuff around every turn
There are several routes to beaches from turnouts near the Mora campground.
This line of trees all grew out of the same nurse log.
This was a great place to escape the summer sun.
