Remote 44-site Wynoochee Lake campground deep in the Olympic NF with flush toilets, a dump station, paved roads, and excellent kokanee fishing. Fuel up before arrival — 40 miles from services.
Coho Campground sits on the west shore of Wynoochee Lake deep in the Olympic National Forest, 40+ miles from Montesano via the Wynoochee Valley Road. With paved roads, flush toilets, potable water, a dump station, and 44 sites for RVs up to 36 feet, it has exceptional infrastructure for such a remote location. An accessible Working Forest Nature Trail provides interpretive education about Pacific Northwest timber management. Absolutely no commercial services at the lake — fuel and groceries must be obtained before the long drive in.
Coho Campground sits on the shore of Lake Quinault in the Olympic National Forest, at the edge of the Quinault Rain Forest — one of the most productive temperate rainforests in North America, receiving 12 feet of rainfall annually. The Quinault Valley contains the world's largest known specimens of western red cedar, Sitka spruce, and Douglas fir — record-setting trees that have grown undisturbed in this protected valley for over 1,000 years. Lake Quinault's tributaries support five species of Pacific salmon, and fall spawning runs along the Quinault and North Fork rivers draw bald eagles and black bears to the riverbanks in one of the most accessible salmon-viewing settings on the Olympic Peninsula.

Lake Cushman sites (1–20) are the most popular — the reservoir views with Mt Ellinor backdrop are exceptional. Loop B has electric hookup sites for extended stays. The swim area and boat launch are easily accessible from any site. Fills on summer weekends, especially for the 4th of July and Labor Day — book at the 6-month window opening. The view of Mt Washington from the south shore is excellent.
