We have RV’d to the Olympic Peninsula three times over the past few years and have stayed at a different campground in the Port Angeles area each time. We also managed to stay in a different RV each time – but that is a different story altogether!

I am a regular listener to Brooks Smothers podcast “RV Out West” ( https://www.rvoutwest.com) and he highlighted a new RV park last year (in the May 19, 2025 episode) being built outside of Port Angeles called RV@Olympic.

I booked a spot about 10 months in advance as July is a busy time for camping on the Olympic Peninsula and for visitation at National Parks in Washington.

The bottom line on the campground – we enjoyed it and will stay there again on a future RV trip.

The sites were paved with full hook-ups including 50 Amp service, water and sewer. Each site also had a gravel area with a fire pit, picnic table and folding wooden Adirondack chairs. Everything was new, clean and worked well. My only complaint was that the sites are sloped front to back – but that is easily rectified with appropriate leveling blocks.

We arrived late (around 9 p.m.) and the campground texted me information on our campsite location and where we could find our welcome packet on arrival.

RV@Olympic is located immediately off U.S. Route 101 which circumnavigates the Olympic Peninsula – so it was really a convenient location for Olympic National Park, Port Angeles, and the Sequim area. As an added bonus it is located about 0.5 miles away from a trailhead for the Olympic Discovery Trail.

The campground was “big rig” friendly – and while I might consider 35 feet as “big” – there were several 45 foot motorhomes and 5th wheel trailers in the campground as well. In addition to the big boys – we also saw a variety of camper vans, pop-up tent trailers, and just about every other imaginable variety of camper.

Our site was a back in site site which had a large grassy area behind it that worked great for Aurora to sit in and watch all of the campground activities during the day.

The camp store was unique in that it was not manned – but instead you swiped a credit card – picked up what you wanted – and then promptly left. The ceiling had a large number of cameras and used AI tools to determine what you bought and charged your credit card accordingly. This was the first campground that we have stayed in that used this type of technology. Always a big spender – I bought a granola bar and some crackers mostly because I wanted to see how the technology worked. It was smooth and seamless.

There was no tent camping at RV@Olympic – but if you are an RVer and looking for a great place to stay on the Olympic Peninsula – give them a call. You will not be disappointed!

This entry is my last one on our July 2026 trip to Olympic National Park series.
