Dungeness Forks Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Hood Canal Ranger District/Quilcene of Olympic National Forest in Washington. It sits within the Quilcene district, and the nearest town is Quilcene. The most comfortable months for a visit are July and August, when typical averages from a nearby weather station in Sequim run to highs around 70°F and only about five wet days a month. That station sits roughly 800 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. The campground is not reservable, so plan on arriving and securing a spot on site. Several trails start close by, including the Old Gray Wolf Trail about 1.3 miles away and the Ned Hill Trail about 3 miles off. Paddlers can head to the Dungeness River, about 4.5 miles away, and climbers will find Tyler Peak Crags about 6 miles from the campground.
