Reservations for Mora Campground in Olympic National Park in Washington are now available for the peak season (June 10 through September 16) through the online system managed by Recreation.gov. During the rest of the year, campsites are available on a first come, first served basis. 

The reservation system releases availability for campsites on a 6-month rolling basis. This means that on January 30 you can reserve a campsite for a trip beginning July 30 or earlier. Reservations become available at 7 a.m. PST. Any unreserved or cancelled sites will be sold in the field at Mora Ranger Station on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations through Recreation.gov are also available for the peak seasons at Kalaloch and Sol Duc campgrounds.

All 94 sites at Mora Campground are reservable for the peak season, making it easier to plan a trip to the national park. Mora Campground is open year-round, but some loops close during the winter months. Outside of the reservation season, Mora Campground is first-come, first-served and campers self-pay at designated registration boards.

Nestled in a coastal forest, Mora Campground is located along the western coast of Olympic National Park and is near the Quillayute River. While no campsites provide a view of the river, a few sites are a small walk away from the riverbank. Surrounded by thick coastal forest, Mora Campground provides a quiet camping experience among large and mossy trees.

Visitors can also purchase a park entrance pass online at Recreation.gov at no additional cost.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
