Quinault Area Campground Opening Dates
QUINAULT, Wash., June 27, 2024 — Following the successful removal of hazard trees and allowing firewood harvest for tribal members and permit holders, officials at Olympic National Forest
are pleased to announce opening dates for Willaby and Falls Creek Campgrounds.
Falls Creek Campground, located along South Shore Road near the Quinault Ranger Station, is scheduled to open on July 4 at 11 a.m.
Willaby Campground, located along South Shore Road southwest of the Lake Quinault Lodge, is scheduled to open on July 8 at 11 a.m.
Reservations for both campgrounds will become available on June 28 at 7 a.m.
Campers can check availability, campsite amenities and make reservations by going to www.recreation.gov <https://pld9h64ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bqiJ-CSOVxGbol4O1_uFOxDD3MWHWc174W8cKquKuHYtXaJMz8TPI

While making a reservation is the best way to ensure you have a place to stay while visiting Quinault, Falls Creek Campground also has ten first come, first serve campsites that are
not listed on Recreation.gov.
“I grew up camping in the area, I know how meaningful these experiences can be,” said Katie McGillvray, Recreation Management Specialist for the forest, “We’re very excited to have campers
back at Willaby and Falls Creek”.
Both campgrounds did not re-open after seasonal closures in 2023 due to annual risk assessments identifying several hazardous trees that posed a high risk to camper safety.
Olympic National Forest staff consulted with the Quinault Indian Nation and worked with contract personnel to reopen the campgrounds in a safe and legally compliant manner.
Campers are encouraged to check Olympic National Forest’s website <https://pld9h64ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001bqiJ-CSOVxGbol4O1_uFOxDD3MWHWc174W8cKquKuHYtXaJMz8TPIC8rGuMQfd1M2RCgxpe5flLGqUZqVI9gAGLabaa
