# Elk Lake — Olympic National Park

**[United States](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states) › [Washington](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/washington) › [Olympic National Park](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/washington/olympic-national-park)**

Old growth trees tower above this backcountry campground accessed by hiking trail through the Hoh rainforest\. Sites sit approximately half a mile below the actual lake, positioned along the trail route that continues toward Blue Glacier\. The National Park Service manages this walk\-in camping area with bear wire strung centrally for food storage\. Campers find level, cleared sites beneath massive conifers, though some areas show damage from past storms\. A waterfall flowing from Elk Lake provides the primary water source, with additional stream access available along the trail before and after the camping area\. \[Trevor H\.\]\(https://thedyrt\.com/camping/washington/elk\-lake/reviews/144224\) notes the sites are "small and close together" with a central toilet facility\. The lake itself requires a separate walk and offers limited access for activities\. Morning conditions tend toward dampness and cooler temperatures due to the dense canopy and nearby water features\. Some sites experience flooding during moderate rainfall, particularly affecting lower\-lying areas\. Fire pits exist at sites, though regulations may restrict their use\. Campers often use this location as a staging point for glacier access or as part of longer backcountry trips through the region\. For those exploring beyond this remote location, \[campgrounds around Olympic National Park\]\(https://thedyrt\.com/camping/washington/near/olympic\-national\-park\) provide additional options throughout the peninsula\.
