A new campground has opened between the Calawah Bridge and the La Push Road …Olympic Adventure Camping will offer RV and tent camping and owner Giancarlo Buonpane says in the future he would love to host events, weddings etc.

A bit of a bonus …could be that a portion of the Olympic Discovery Trail runs through the backside of the new campground. Last week Bruch and Bruch was graveling this part of what will be the trail. This section will line up with the proposed footbridge that will connect to the Calawah Park/Boat Launch. The trail follows the old entrance into Forks and the original bridge location. The entrance into Forks once came in on Sol Duc Way. In the 1930s a new bridge was put in, the one we use now, and the entrance to town changed.
