Answer
Christopher's answer was right on!
The drive-through animal park to which he referred is Olympic Game Farm in Sequim. They have a lot of retired movie animal actors there, including Gentle Ben. Be prepared to have zebras and llamas poking their heads into your car, and for the car to be slobbered on, though! It's a lot of fun and you won't stop laughing (and being amazed by what you see) the whole time.
There is beach access all long the north and west coasts, and my favorite place to pitch a tent is the beach at Cape Alava. You drive the Ozette Lake road to Lake Ozette and then hike a wonderfully interesting trail to the beach.
Another fantastic place to camp is in the Hoh Rain Forest. You will be among trees like you have never seen before--huge and moss covered. There is a ranger station 9 miles in, but you can find places to camp either along the way or beyond that station. Be prepared to see forest animals!

Dog-friendly camping along the WA coast?

My boyfriend and I recently camped on the OR coast and had a great time (despite a leaky tent!) and are looking for some coastal camping closer to where we live in the Seattle area.
Can some of you recommend campgrounds you've STAYED AT (please don't just link me if you haven't personally stayed) on the Olympic Peninsula or further South on the coast that allow dogs and have nice tidal pools, trails, etc?
Thanks!
Answer
I don't enjoy dodging 4 x 4s tearing down the beach going 40+ mph when I'm trying to enjoy walking especially with a dog or two and kids in tow, so I prefer to stay further north where there are no cars on the beach. I've stayed at both Mora and Kalaloch campgrounds and go to the beaches nearby including Ruby Beach and Rialto Beach.
Dogs are allowed in both of those campgrounds and also on the beaches in those areas. They are supposed to be leashed at all times, but if you have a map to know where the park boundaries are, watch the tide tables carefully and your dog is well behaved and not a menace to anyone you can hike along the beach past the park boundaries for some off leash time.
These camp sites can be crowded in summer and (of course) rain is always a possibility.
