Olympic National Park, Washington
Olympic National Park is a camper's paradise due to the gorgeous scenery and astonishing wealth of hiking trails. There are many campgrounds from which to choose, but all are based on a first come/first serve basis. The campgrounds have a 14 day limit and during winter you may find some of them have been closed. Permits are required for backcountry camping in the park. The most amazing thing about camping here are the 600 miles of hiking trails, including those in the Hoh Rain Forest section of the park.
