Falls Creek Campground

We planned a multi-family trip with people coming from the East Coast, California and also needed a room at Lake Quinault Lodge for my 80 y.o. mother (it was a gathering to celebrate her birthday as well). Not only was the size and privacy of the campground ideal, but to have the Lodge be a short walk by the lake away - an amazing bonus! We had a wonderful boat tour with all 13 of us booking out the boat on a beautiful summer evening - something my mom could enjoy with all of us. Walking to fishing on the lake ("foreign" boats restricted during our Aug visit - call to check before you go, website was not updated), and great hikes to drive to, the beautiful Lodge to enjoy - it was a family trip to remember!

Very nice, only a few spots. Loved our view of the lake.

Falls Creek is a great campground right next to the Quinault Lodge. Great family loop hikes and a pleasant, quiet campground.

loved it.

Absolutely beautiful area. Campground sites are spacious for two vehicles, additional tents, but not much privacy. The sites are close to other sites, without a lot of forest or bushes in between for privacy. Access to the lake from the campground and easy walk with your kayak, etc. Very scenic and easy day hike along Lake Quinault that passes by the lodge and then goes up into the forest. Big old growth Cedar, Spruce, and Douglas Fir trees throughout the area.

So disappointed with camping site #14. It has no place for a tent to be set up. So we ended up setting up in the parking spot. This was a pretty rocky area and ended up puncturing a hole in our blow up mattress. It is right next to the parking lot for the hike in campers and offers no privacy.The picnic table is so close to the fire pit that it was hard to sit around the fire pit. There was no room for the kids to run around and play by the tent site because it was such a small area. Compared to all the other sites this one is definitely at a disadvantage and is not really even a site. The rest of the experience was great. Loved the lake and how close we were to hiking trails. Very peaceful and tranquil.

Overall the campground was awesome. The ranger was helpful, the bathrooms were Clorox clean, and for the most part, the neighbors were great. We did have a family move in on the second day and invite about 40 of other family members. They basically took over the entire beach, put up 5-6 tents, and made a ton of noise late into the night.

While we were happy to see the kids enjoying themselves, it really made it difficult for us to enjoy ourselves. I would offer this kind of activity should not be OK.

We will be back. Lake Quinault is a beautiful place.

The good: right next to the lake. perfect place to disconnect from the world and relax. had so much fun kayaking, rowing, swimming, stargazing...we saw the neowise comet :)
there’s a convenience store nearby.
motorized boats were not allowed, so it was quiet and not crowded.

The bad: camp sites are smaller. not much privacy in the reserved sites. better privacy in the walk-in sites.

The ugly: no facilities to shower. bring a portable shower. can not shower at the lodge either (only for lodge’s guests).

AMAZING campground. Loved everything.

Convenient location, right next to lake. Easy haul in/out from parking. Somewhat crowded. Evidence of other campers not cleaning up after themselves. Curious critters will get your food if left out.
