Took a 4-day trip to the Washington beaches in Olympic National Park. National Park campgrounds fill up during the busy summer months. We got lucky and found a site when someone canceled their reservation. We took a 4-day trip because that is all that was available. We had a lot of fun and will have to come back again.
