Why Visit

Coppermine Bottom Campground

Coppermine Bottom is a primitive Washington DNR campground beside the Clearwater River southwest of Forks. DNR allows trailers up to 30 feet and currently lists the campground open. Sites are first-come, a Discover Pass is required for vehicle access, and there are no hookups or potable water. DNR does not publish a current site total, and community sources disagree, so this listing leaves the count unconfirmed. The final approach follows active forest roads; check DNR alerts and road conditions before towing.
