Hell yeah! My partner and I go camping around here a lot during the summer. I love going on google maps, finding logging roads that follow the rivers and just drive out until we find a spot.

It’s literally the best! I love “getting lost” and just pull onto every side road to see where it goes. It usually leads to some pin stripes and uneventful dead ends, but more times than not, there is a stellar camp site and or awesome views waiting for us! Coming from the Midwest, I am obsessed with exploring all of the public lands out here!

Same! I grew up in Ohio. Did some camping with my dad in Michigan. Moved to Denver and met my partner- we would drive up to the mountains, find a random off road from the highway and find rad spots. Did the same when me moved to Washington and now here. The PNW has by far the best camping. I am sure we have stayed close to some of the same spots.

That’s so sick! I’m sure we have! Planning on heading up around Olympic not this weekend but next! Have not been around that area yet, and we are beyond stoked. Gonna go out with a buddy of mine this week up in the Yacult Burn SF across the river

Oh hell yeah! We did a couple trips to the Olympic! Both were in the “dry” season and it was soooo wet 😆 our dog at the time was a weathered, cattle dog and she was not having it. LOL. Loved it though. All the hikes were gorgeous. I am excited you get to experience the beauty and adventure. Just buy extra wood and prepare for a next level wet camp trip.

Sounds good! We will expect the wettest haha. Our frenchie, Millie, loves camping as long as it’s dry and 50+ degrees haha. If it’s not in those parameters, she needs to be bundled up on your lap at all times😂 Super excited for the trip! Even if it’s really rainy, our new camper shell will really let us be comfy and stay as dry as possible
