We had a good experience at Forks campgrounds. The only problem is there is still a lot of bear activity. They are still around the campground and can do a lot of damage. We didn't have a problem, but some other campsites were affected. Bear boxes are now available to protect your food, but the bears are still a problem.

Carmen was an amazing host. Those campground bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever experienced at a campground.
