Olympic National Park/Mora
Overview
Mora Campground provides a serene escape within the coastal region of Olympic National Park. Tucked away in a lush forest of Sitka spruce and western hemlock, this park offers a quintessential Pacific Northwest atmosphere. It is managed by the National Park Service, ensuring a focus on natural preservation and a peaceful environment. Visitors here trade modern resort luxuries for the soothing sounds of the nearby ocean and the rustle of old-growth trees.
Location & Surroundings
Situated approximately 14 miles west of the town of Forks, WA, the park sits along the banks of the Quillayute River. The proximity to the coast means the air is often filled with salt spray and mist, creating a moody, atmospheric setting. The campground is the primary gateway to Rialto Beach, one of the most iconic stretches of rugged coastline in Washington. Travelers should prepare for winding roads and limited cell service as they venture deep into the Olympic Peninsula.
Amenities & Park Features
As a traditional national park facility, Mora focuses on a primitive camping experience. The park offers no hookups, making it essential for RVers to arrive with full water tanks and empty waste tanks. However, the campground does provide communal flush toilets, potable water stations, and a dump station for convenience. Each site features a picnic table and a fire ring, perfect for cool coastal evenings. The sites are well-screened by dense vegetation, offering more privacy than many private RV parks.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The main draw is undoubtedly Rialto Beach, where visitors can explore massive driftwood logs and view sea stacks like James Island. A hike north during low tide leads to the famous Hole-in-the-Wall rock formation. Fishing and kayaking are popular activities on the Quillayute River. For those willing to drive, the Hoh Rain Forest is within reach, providing access to temperate rainforest trails and unique moss-covered landscapes.
Who This Park Is Best For
Mora is ideal for self-contained RVers who appreciate solitude and direct access to nature. It is a dream destination for photographers and beachcombers looking to explore the wilder side of the Washington coast. Because of the size of the sites and the lack of power, it is best suited for smaller to mid-sized rigs. If you seek a rustic retreat away from the noise of the highway and city lights, this park provides the perfect home base.

Easy to get a site without a reservation mid September. Sites are fine. Rialto beach is a 2 mile drive from the campground.

This campground is beautiful, the sites are clean, the bathrooms are clean. It's also pretty quiet as the only road nearby just goes to Rialto. It's perfectly located to get to Forks, Rialto beach, La Push, etc. But, there is nothing to do at the campground. No river access and no trail to Rialto. The trail to the pond was almost completely overgrown. Everything required driving. There is no soap for hand washing in the bathrooms so bring your own. There is devils club growing all around the campsites and it hurts very bad if you bump into it. The yellow jackets were pretty bad.

The campground itself is very traditional, next to the river and pretty. The beach on the other hand was a madhouse. We couldn’t even get to the beach because there was no parking. People were parked all the way back at the first bridge before entering the parking lot at the beach itself. Maybe it was just extra busy that we can do too Lapush celebrating it’s traditional summer canoe races. Lucky we were able to pop on over to Lapush to enjoy some beach time before heading home.

Not my favorite campground in Olympia NP but it’s still close to Rialto and La Push beaches. Very pretty but many spots are small and awkward for tent/campfire.
Christina Morrison Beck
Roomy campsites and close proximity to Rialto Beach. Some of the best bathroom facilities, super clean, and easy to find. We cant wait to go back.
Donald Ovitt
Very good spot, close to beach. Spots are a bit tight for trailers. Vampires just down the road

We stayed in site #58, wasn't the most private site but would definitely stay in the campground again. #58 is very large, which was perfect for our active 3 year old. One side opens to the driving entrance of that loop, the other side is a walking path to the bathroom. While very close to the facilities, I would rather take a 2 min walk next time to be a little more secluded. Many of the other sites in our loop were smaller but with more privacy. Will be staying again!
