We have two old dogs that do not like to play with other dogs or kids, so campgrounds are not a good place for them. We can either car camp or tent camp- just not with close neighbors. We were thinking Olympic Peninsula, but that is negotiable. Any ideas? And thanks for looking!
Answer
You can camp in our National Forests... if you drive down and of the forest roads (the gravel ones) you'll see places along the side where people have camped before.. you'll see fire rings to use.. BUT these places do not have running water or bathroom, so you'll be primitive camping (where you have to bring all your water to drink and cook with).
I would highly suggest buying Don Wright's Guide to Free Campgrounds. It's a book (an east and west addition) that lists campgrounds in forests and other secluded places that are free and $12 and under for one night's stay. I use it as my camping bible.. I don't want to stay where RVs and generators are... I suggest you get a copy.. it will help you plan your trip better.
Good luck & have fun camping!

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!
